Glad the T Bird will now get the playing it deserves! Reserved it for him for a week and he was good as his word. Thanks Matt!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1327752832' post='1516204'] No they don't - KK & Glenn have both used Hamers pretty much exclusively for years & Ian Hill always played a Jazz until he started using Spectors. He now has his own Spector signature model. The only Gibson I've ever seen a picture of Ian Hill with was a crappy old solid body violin shaped thing. (Don't know what the new boy uses but to be honest I don't care - it's not Priest without Kenny Downing IMO). [/quote] Ah well I do agree, but i looked on the 'Priest website, and in the live shots looks like their running Gibbo's all round recently.

[quote name='MusicJunkie' timestamp='1327709605' post='1515877'] The suspense is killing me! [/quote] Me too, I want to know how bloody jealous I should be!!

[sub]HYmmm.. Saxon maybe. But Judas Priest have an all out Gibson (V, Paul, Thunderbird) thing going on.....[/sub]

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1327686402' post='1515453'] you're such a tease! [/quote] I think its Busted...

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1327674200' post='1515195'] UFO? [/quote] I was thinking that, or X-UFO. Or Even Motley Crue.. lol

Westfield B1000. Simples.£90 from ebay. Nice basses for a budget

Oooh we were right, that neck does look tasty on the VM 77! Can't wait to get the Pearl block neck on my VM 70's! Liking the Spector - 5 strings aren't really my thing but that looks nice.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1327530724' post='1513100'] By god I see a lot of this on here. It seems many of us judge the quality of musicians by their chops. I have seen plenty of bassists with great chops, and the articulation and expression of a sedated sloth. Why is this? Are we so deaf to beautifully nuanced simplicity? Are we only focused on the bland displays of the mechanics, demonstrating years of study and practice? Yes yes, some of us vindicate ourselves by slagging off Nigel Clutterbuck, and exalting James Jamerson, and then post a video of 'An Amazing Bass Solo' featuring, you guessed it, some SLAP, supposedly funky, almost always about as interesting as a sheet of toilet paper and with less texture. Why can't we value TASTE over technique? Is it because we think it requires no tangible effort? [/quote] Definately +1

However baslines can sometimes vary/evolve. I have seen bands live where the bassline live (and indeed guitar parts and solo's) is different in parts to the "Studio" version. Led Zeppelin are a good example of this. I wouldn,t consider it lazy as per say. Some parts of a line can be Iconic, and need to be left in but there are occasions where my ears fail me. If everyone was forced in a dictatorial manner to reproduce note for note "from the original score" basslines or face the sneers of more superior musicians, then those of us who cant sight read may as well pack up now. Then again using that argument, a computer can produce a totaly accurate and convincing range of note perfect instrumentation so we may as well all go home. If it stays within the boundries/rhythm/key of a song and it sounds good then the odd bit of "Well, I play that part this way" is ok, unless it is a defining part of the song - the verse bassline of "Tears of a Clown", "Down the Tube Station at Midnight", or any song with an "Iconic" bassline. Sorry I'm having a pretty godawful day so I'm a bit grumpy.

I am going to buy it.... then... [color=#ff0000][size=6]KILL IT!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!! [/size][/color]

Oh like the "Forget You" cover. Suits the singers voice. Loving the "Bass-Face". You lot based in High Wycombe then? Step dads parents used to live there, their house backed onto the tennis club.

4 weeks and you'll feel like you never stopped - that was me after a 10 year break. Now I actually play better than I did at my peak.

The one in the ebay link looks good - I've had stuff from Pappa-D's on ebay before - honest seller. Best to measure up the holes etc on your P see if it looks like it will fit.

How did you find the paint "setting"? Had right issues with my purple build.

I will build NO MORE Precisions Mrs Nibody.. I promise...

Definately has some commercial potential buddy. Just had a second listen, and it's really growing on me.

Is that an Upright on there? Another one of those cases where its not my usual bag, (though i do like a bit of oldschool hip-hop on the quiet!) but I quite like it. Shades of "The Streets" meets "Dizzy Rascal" meets early "Fun Lovin Criminals".

Personally I have an EHX Small Stone and a Big muff because I wanted them. The only pedal I think I've ever used live was a flanger. Iove messing around with effects on Amplitube3 or Guitar Rig4 but live apart from maybe a Flanger or Phaser wouldnt bother.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1327243559' post='1508214'] I have a Gold Tone tenor in Irish tuning and a Windsor Premier 5-string old-time banjo. I also have a Cammeyer zither banjo which is currently for sale in the London branch of Hobgoblin. [/quote] Oh is that you'rs? I saw that one when I was trying to find info about my Cammeyer. do you have any Pics of it? Mine is in pretty poor cosmetic condition - plays though. At some point in the past the back of the bowl has been removed, couple of the dot inlays are missing.

I would probably have gone for a 3ply Black/White/Black pickguard meself. I'd also sand down that headstock.
