Portishead at Glasto on Friday night!

The treble side of the headstock is the wrong shape also and the String Tree is in the wrong place to be a Fender. Possibly a Chinese Squier or more than likely something along the lines of a Jim Deacon.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1367664992' post='2068090'] On a thread about basses that you think are sh*t? [/quote] ....and like I asked if it was all those things why did you acquire it?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1367661046' post='2068011'] Reported[/quote] Oh Wayne but now I may get a bollocking off of the powers that be, or worse still banned and my account deleted. How the hell will I cope then? [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1366714120' post='2056243'] I had a Spector, it looked sh*t, it sounded sh*t, it played sh*t, they are sh*t. [/quote] Wot a crass comment to make on a thread!

Great stuff!

[quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1362242872' post='1997479'] Blatant shilling, let's see what eBay do about it.[/quote] Exactly! [quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1362246817' post='1997549'] Seems that bidder bids all of his "big" items up to a level then disapears.. how odd. [/quote] Funny how all those auctions have now been changed to Buy It Now only. He should've been banned, I guess eBay consider the sellers fees more important to them than buyers being conned.

I put a set in my Squier/bitsa Precision and IMO they sound great!

[quote name='paulconnolly' timestamp='1360413919' post='1969966'] Listening to Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited 2. Love the guitar work and the songs but I'm struggling to like the singers and I don't think that the songs from The Lamb work out of context and track order from the original. [/quote] I agree about most of the singers, though Steven Wilson does a good job on Can-Utility and the Coastliners IMO. Currently listening to this

That works!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1359976622' post='1962652'] My first ever bass, built by the late Jim Cairnes. It's a 4 string and I play only 5 strings nowadays so it doesn't get a look in. It's probably not worth a great deal from a monetary point of view but it sounds great and I played some of my most memorable gigs on that bass. I will never sell it. Jim was the guy that really kicked off my bass playing career and built me this bass when a shop screwed me over by selling a bass that I had put a deposit down on. That was his nature - he couldn't believe that a shop would do that to a youngster who had saved hard, had gone back the next day to pick it up only to be handed back his deposit... so he built me one better. All my other basses get played on rotation and the only bass that I have moved on in recent times was my Status and Lakland DJ5. I'm ok with all the basses that I have moved on... but I do miss my Yammy BBNE2. [/quote] Agreed Jim was a great bloke, he sorted my Hondo II P (my first bass) out for me when I was young and clueless. Back in the early 80's he made instruments for a few of my old mates (a couple of Explorers, a Strat and two BC Rich Mockingbird basses, one being fretless) In 96' he replaced the missaligned BBOT on my old Silver series Squier P with a Schaller 3D bridge and did a full set up inc fret dress, all for £40. When I reminded him about mates guitars he'd made, he asked, "Wot were they?" When I told him, he said, "Not me, I've never made copyrighted designs" he said. "oh yes you did Jim" I said, he just winked. The shop that sold your bass wasn't Guitarzan/Bong Bill's was it?

Shafesbury Rickenbacker Copy. It looked great but was totally sh*te!

[quote name='Martin Gordon' timestamp='1359721832' post='1959308'] I wish I DID have a black Rick, but no - only a red one and a blonde one. Next life, perhaps. And I certainly did not throw plectrums around willy nilly, given the wages at the time... Since we are on the topic: [url="http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/includemeout"]http://www.pledgemus...ts/includemeout[/url] And now I'm off to be obscure again. [url="http://www.martingordon.de"]Martin Gordon[/url] [/quote] Red? It look Black to me! Oh well can't argue with the bloke who owned it, and that's me colourblindess definitely confirmed then lol

I saw The Radio Stars at Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt, back in the day. Martin was playing a Natural finish Precision, he also had a Black Ric which he never used. Good pop band, Though they, like many other bands jumped on the punk bandwagon. I still have Songs For Swinging Lovers.
