    Nice to meet you. I'm Mickey. May I call you Sven? And have you introduced yourself yet? Oh, and nice bass.

    Yes, snow is appalling. Hope it will be gone for my next gig in a week - but I don't bank on it! Ta for the pics, the dark duo are certainly something.

    Hello Simon from Bordon (15 snowy miles down the road). This is a great forum. Glad you found it. Did you keep the 76 Precision? if so, you qualify to join the 70s Precision club (president Water of Tyne, vice pres Clarky). The Mustang looks good too - lord knows what the colour's called.

    I think it's cos we're all either tesT pilots or daydreamers. Possibly both...BUMP!

    +1 Much better scouring the ads for a secondhand bass that's playable.

    Can't we leave this fella to sell his guitar? I'd buy it if I had any folding!

    I have recently acquired a L1000 which I am enjoying. What's the diff between that and the 1500? I see an extra switch...

    How many strings was that?

    I thought Cowell's joke that they'd put him through to the next round was the highlight of the evening. A throwback to the days when talent really did matter..but yes, past his best now.

    Just acquired a G&L L1000 with flats, courtesy of Guzzibass, and that definitely has a darkness neither of my Precisions can give me. The OMG pickup switch position, I believe it's called...

    Yes, top man to deal with, as I did last week - no problems whatsoever.

    I have a Seventies Precision and a wife who beat cancer this year - I thought I was the lucky one, but I'm glad to see I'm not alone. All the best, my friend!

    My son, who doesn't live with me, is getting a bass for Xmas. Any recommendations as to a book or DVD that would be useful to him would be welcome. He's left handed, if that makes any difference. Does it? Thanks all. Mick

    The Supremes & Arthur Conley @ Croydon Fairfield Halls. 1971. excellent. Followed by Cliff Richard (at first girlfriend's insistence) and Suzi Quatro!!

    The one bit he doesnt show is the headstock! What's on it, I wonder?
  22. Mickeyboro
    No, it';s a Hamer isn't it? I bought the wrong bass... Thanks for this though! I sent a cassette single version of this song to a girl I fancied, and it worked

    He was cool. Seeing him playing (I think) a Guild B301 painted like the Japanese flag (memory fading) in 1980 made me want to be a bass player. Thanks for the reminder. I tried to set up a Pretenders-style band, and one of the potential frontwomen was Eddi Reader. Always got at (not) spotting talent, me...

    In case anyone's interested, Chris told me this about his Elektra a couple of years ago: 'It¹s a bass that was a favourite of mine made for me in the 70s by I guess what¹s now some (Westone/St Louis Music) music company which I guess makes Ampeg and they made Alvarez guitars the acoustics which was one of those lines. But they were also experimenting with electric guitars and this was a custom made bass which they made for me that actually has effects modules that you pop, into the back of the bass, there¹s a little flap. And although I don¹t always use the effects the guitar is one of those very playable basses which I enjoy playing and has a great sound. I¹ve always had it in my arsenal, as it were.'
