[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1331556487' post='1574624'] "certainly better than some of the dodgy pre-EB, early 80s instruments with wonky necks". [/quote] Is that right? I had never heard that said about the Stingray before. and I had been toying with the idea of buying an early MM but that's quite worrying. MattM's 88 looks the biz!

If you already have a Jazz then i'd deffo go for a Precision. There's always a good old Tokai to consider?

i have one or two songs from that Pleasure album Future Now downloaded to my phone, and a few tracks i've loaded on to cd. I was brought to the attention of that band through his site actually! BC'r Huw Foster playing along to the track "Universal" (cheers Huw). I love it....... I havn't heard of the band Delegation before, it sounds pretty good to me i'll have to investigate futher! stuff This has a great sounding bassline........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2-g23tzBEU&feature=related

[quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1331391963' post='1572290'] Well, its not in the top 50 so I guess not a good bass. Rickenbacker maybe?? Both are ungly and unbalanced (Hides under the table from 4000) [/quote] Wash your mouth out with soap!

I really like it

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1331399373' post='1572430'] Yep. I'm waiting patiently for your band to make it down to the smoke. [/quote] You might be having a loooooonnng wait! of course if someone stumps up some cash...........

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1329148293' post='1537834'] I've decided you should get switches like these [/quote] What a fantastic idea! Charic you are THE MAN! If only I had the inteligence to build one of these valve amps one of those switches would be a must have! I'd dearly love to build my own rig......

Nice to have you here Sallie, good luck with those lessons.

Welcome Greg, from another fellow Rick player

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1331261321' post='1570520'] Indeed. I just worked out that the pre-amp tubes have been in my Marshall since it left the factory. 39 years ago. [/quote] That does not suprise me at all. May I ask which model Marshall you have? is it a Marshall 100w?

Hi Terri welcome to the site. Great site by the way

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1331084801' post='1567521'] www.everyonehatesmecosihavealumpybodyandineedafriend.com ? [/quote] Tut tut!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1331057242' post='1567000'] I don't hate 'em, I'm just not into 'em. [/quote] I meant in general on this site, not necessarily on this thread.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1331054488' post='1566953'] I certainly don't hate them, it's just not something I can ever see myself owing. [/quote] That's fair enough, each to thier own I say. funnily enough, i've been playing on the Jazz today, I am struggling a bit with the neck! It seems fat compared to the Rick.

Strangly enough, I own an old Rick and Jazz. Don't look too hot welded together though do they? There seems to be a lot of Rick haters on this site, I can't understand why?

Welcome to Basschat Ryan.... and nice vids.

Hi Tom, nice to have you here.

He was a great guitar player, I still have the first montrose album on cd. My mate went to see one of his bands called Gamma years ago, he was mightily impressed. RIP Ronnie, another legend goes. I was watching these this morning....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk52nGxF-jc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHmqWRY-OdA

I went for option 5. I rarely practise , we hardly have time to rehearse , but we do play live. The other two members in the band are pro musicians though and in another band so they play a lot.

Jake, I really enjoyed that! Great playing by all, but hey what a fantastic singer that young lady is.
