i bought the parts for this at various times and i finally got round to assembling it all up today it was a reasonably cheap project: the parts consist of: Encore indian manufacture neck american standard precision pickup body bought off ebay was approx £35 2 piece ash squier silver series bridge bridge cover bought from local guitar shop wd music mirror scratchplate the paintwork is a bit patchy and i havent bothered laquering but i did buy the laquer so it may get done [attachment=153197:slabA.jpg] [attachment=153198:slabB.jpg]

i think that was for sale on here that very bass i remember seeing it

i used to have one in the same colour as that although the paint on mine had cracked in many places it was a weighty old beast but sounded good

why would he do that?he really shouldnt have done that to your bass and he doesnt deserve payment of any kind for that bodgery

if the keyboard player thinks he is that great he should play the basslines on his keyboard while he is at it he could probably cover the drums too i dont know why someone would do that in all seriousness? your trying to do them a favour so the band comes across as a competent unit and he goes off on one!

ok im gonna say fender p vw beetle reliable and practical with a cult following fender jazz vw scirocco warwick mecedes sometimes flash sometimes practical always well made gibson like an old jaguar not always up to date with trends but smooth and dependable hofner NSU

ive been using linseed on my basses i also use kitchen cloth or an old cotton t shirt dab it in to the grain then wipe off any excess it worked really well on my old aria sb looks much better than it did

Agree with the comment about bill ward i have a dvd of sabbath live in paris 1971 i think and he is on top form. My choices are 1. Vinny appice- love the drums on mob rules 2. Topper headon- always liked his drum sound 3. Ginger baker - when i first heard cream i just loved his style of playing So basically i like a drummer who utilises the toms! some dont seem to use them? And im not afraid to say i even like roto toms My advice to drummers roll out the toms.

My silver series squier

woah my black n gold must be worth a bit then

I bought a redwood 5 tube head from dawsons £69 and i run it through a carlsbro monitor I bought it for guitar but i played my bass through it and it sounds great in the man cave Also not too much eq fiddling between bass and guitar as its only treble bass gain and volume Im half tempted to sell some of my other guitar amps as i really like the redwood

my brother used to have the cover of ritchie blackmores rainbow painted on his wall sadly i dont know if any pictures of his version exist [attachment=150420:Rainbow.jpg] a few of my faves whitesnake-trouble deep purple-burn thin lizzy-jailbreak Badlands-voodoo highway ac/dc-powerage i always loved the bass on gimme a bullet hawkwind-levitation

Nice bass, break out the spandex

Ive had a few of the indian encores i believe there solid wood also the sunn p bass is the same bass made in india also the fittings are fender size too i took neck off of one and fitted straight on a fender body as cts pots wouldnt fit in the encore control cavity I own the strat they did the vintage standard also made in india it came standard with solid body lace pickups,wilkinson usa trem and grover vintage tuners its a really nice guitar

ive got an 840ex the effects are quite good but i use my computer to record nowadays its just easier for me

i had some in a yamaha studio lord guitar and they were very nice pickups ive yet to try there bass pickups though

my p bass was pristine till my compressor pedal pedal fell on it these things happen im afraid i actually prefer basses with a bit of wear these days i had a g&l that was so spanky looking i was afraid to use it so sold on in the end. and i also used to get worked up about my car getting dinked now i drive a 1990 mx5 and couldnt give a sh*t

I remember buying counterparts on cassette when it came out and after reading some good reviews at the time I must buy it on cd now as i ditched all my cassettes

Jools looks like Bob Hoskins.

yeah lying on the monitors and wearing two different trainers that guy is wild! i felt embarrassed for him

i use wire wool on my bass necks seems to work well taking out minor dings

No the classic pro denotes it has the gibson pickups 3 controls and the standard thunderbird bridge

This is the version with proper gibson pickups in it isnt it?,i have a pro and stuck some seymour duncan ssd pickups in it and got fretsonthenet.com to make some metal pickup surrounds for it looks pretty cool now though
