He looks much healthier than me

On the occasions when we've done outside gigs in inclement conditions, I've worn my thermal fingerless mittens. Made all the difference. Bit of a Steptoe kind of look and vibe but what the heck

Just remembered, I already posted a pic of it over in the Precision porn thread a few weeks back.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1440766220' post='2853660'] I'm actually finally getting close to bass nirvana Gary (well, for this week anyway!) I would love a real 70's P, but everytime there's a good one up (usually one of yours ) I've got no loot due to indiscriminate bass buying. MUST stop looking at the purdy pictures. In the very unlikely event of selling this (it is superb, best playing R*** I've had) it won't be on here. Good luck finding one, it's the first I've ever seen in the flesh. [/quote] Just to torment you I might pm you a pic of latest 70's P

I actually really like the aggressive MFD tone, particularly in a band with two guitars.

It's a mod I've been intending to try for a long time but just haven't as yet. I await the outcome of your project

Cheers Admiral. Might have to get a set of them.

I've just gone off and done some measuring. It's close. I just tried putting some fender pups in to an old sb1 pick guard and they went in ok. not perfect but not too bad. Tried SB1 pups in to an old squier pick guard and again, they went in ok. Not an absolutely perfect fit but it was pretty good. I should add, the SB1 guard and pups are from an 80's instrument, I don't know if the modern ones are the same dimensions.

Thanks for the info Karl. Might have to keep an eye out for one of these myself. Maybe I'll just watch the for sale forum, given that you seem to move them on almost as quickly as I do

That's a cool looking bass Karl. Haven't seen one of those before.

No worries.

[quote name='turkish200' timestamp='1440493940' post='2851164'] Thanks all. Whereabouts are you Gary? Herts seems to be an area sparse on bassists haha [/quote] Twenty five minutes or so from you, in Hoddesdon. There a few BC'ers from Herts. We even get to have a Herts Bass Bash every year, not that one has to live in Herts to attend

Good day turkish. Welcome to the forum from another Hertfordshire lowender

Didn't you post this a couple of days back?

I really rate this stuff: https://giggear.co.uk/buy/dr-duck-s-ax-wax-guitar-cleaner-and-string-lube?gclid=Cj0KEQjwgeuuBRCiwpD0hP3Cg4kBEiQAHflm1jvQdTsEeBv9Ku6JGTF5-r7WuWs68UDGNuE5z0bicjYaAp188P8HAQ

I had no problem dealing with Duffffy . , Good communications and quick payment. I would be happy to trade again and I'm also happy to recommend him. Deal with confidence Bass Chatters.

If that doesn`t work, walk into them cab first a couple of times. [/quote] This technique is essential at the White Hart in Hemel

That's how I've done it on a couple of occasions.
