[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1442574680' post='2867898'] Was Dave West, who played with Wham! for a while. [/quote] Nice one Lozz, I will be requiring your autograph next time we meet up.

You can easily check whether a high fret is the culprit. Get yourself something with a straight edge, long enough to span across three frets (the suspected fret and one either side). Credit card might do it. You will be able to quite easily see if there is a high or low fret.

Steve is another of the honourable and reliable forum users. Very happy to recommend him as one of the good guys to deal with.

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1442387311' post='2866461'] Kind of similar. I had always played lots of different styles. The usual - Motown, Blues, Rock , Funk etc. As you said, i think i just got comfortable. Started playing a few disco numbers with our band a few months ago. Shocked at how hard i found them to start with. All those octaves tested my little finger!! All good now, but i had to work at it to get the muting between octaves. To play the parts as clean as i wanted wasn't as simple as i expected it to be. Definitely made me think about how accurate the rest of my playing is and brought it up another level (IMO YMMV etc etc) I've also got a Warwick [/quote] Exactly the same experience for me over the last six months or so, since we started introducing more Disco. Unlike you and Bob though, I've not yet bought a Warwick I have lusted after a couple though.

Chuffed for you, hope you thoroughly enjoy it

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1442263300' post='2865660'] This all seems like a good reason to rescind the rule preventing people replying to Wanted threads, it seems like the alternatives are not working. When this rule was introduced a review was promised by the site owners but I don't believe it has happened - happy to be corrected if it has. [/quote] But it is working and changing it would not alter the fact that some people just can't be bothered to reply.

I recently got a set of these, amazingly good. I've tried £200 sets that I didn't feel offered better sound. http://www.amazon.co.uk/August-EP650-Bluetooth-Headphones-Rechargeable/dp/B00IMKRQO8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1442251153&sr=8-4&keywords=august+headphones

Love Free, thanks for posting. Heard them described recently as Plod Rock Kos would have been 65 today.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1442224455' post='2865216'] Very good Gary! But which one? [/quote] My anorak tendencies are not that finally honed I'm afraid

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1442222953' post='2865186'] Excuse my ignorance, but is that some form of Ibanez Dave is playing? If so, which one? D'oh! Question already asked! [/quote] Just had a look at another one of Fran's pics and can confirm it is an Ibanez.

Some great pics in there Fran. Was that one of Dave's Ibanez basses?

Once you hit that first note (so long as it's the right one) the nerves will evaporate Enjoy.

Congrats, have a splendid day, go buy some more gear.

My experience of those Vintage P basses has been good, I feel that for the price they are a worthwhile purchase. with £500 to spend though, you should certainly be able to get something better, particularly second hand. I would be looking at the basses for sale forum here.

It's more collectible, which obviously equals more costly Is it worth it? Well it's not going to be twice as good but if you get a good 60's one, they are very special. My one gives me a very pleasurable feeling each and every time I open the case. So does my 75 though
