Bug Powder Dust. Yes, I know the bassline is lifted/tweaked from 'open your eyes you can fly', but both Doug's clean verse line and 'space bass' chorus are incredible.

Hmm - should I be concerned about my all-tube Ampeg V4B reissue having 1/4" out to Speakon In on my cab?

Cheers! It is indeed a Limelight, you can see more here: Compared to the CS: - both relic jobs are excellent. The Limelight has been aged more, with lovely detailing around the metalwork and fingerboard. The CS has a gorgeous cracked-nitro effect. - I prefer the lighter body and the amazing neck/fingerboard on the CS. This is where this CS excels..the Limelight is not very heavy though and there are no problems with the neck/fingerboard, I just prefer the CS - both the Limelight and CS pickups are absolutely superb!

I usually don't notice the extra cab when I'm standing 2 feet away - but a huge difference at the other end of the room!

Beauty!!! Love that original meaty pup, looks the ideal placement too. If I ever play in a rock band (rather than blues/soul) I'll be after one of these for sure.

Delighted with this Fender Custom Shop '62 relic: faded surf green, lovely reliced nitro, clay dots, anodized gold pickguard - and the best neck I've ever played! Growls and thumps beautifully. Here are the dealer pics; I'll get some more of my own up later.

It doesn't matter as long as there's an umlaut. My lot are The Expändables The umlaut means we're the only band of that name spelled that way. It also means you can pronounce it 'expandable' (in relation to our waistlines) or 'expendable'(because not all 7 members can make every gig) Could also have æ in there, to be fair...

Cheers for the link! Note that not all pre-CBS have 'L' prefixes for the serial though. I've finally found my perfect P after owning six. For me the important attributes are (in order): 1. Neck/fretboard playability (tricky to amend if not right 'out of the box') 2. Frets (can be dressed if needed) 3. Weight (may be more important if you have long gigs, shoulder/back issues) 4. Electronics (can be swapped out) 5. Look (probably higher, who am I kidding :)) 6. Resaleability (allows you to 'buy blind') In short, try as many as you can. If buying blind, then buying from basschat means it's unlikely to be a dog and you can resell here if it's not your cup of tea.

Brilliant - I was looking for a West End workshop for my P . Cheers for the tip! Hopefully I get a discount given my name...

Shouldn't be a problem - I have degrees in Economics, Maths, Physics and Bionics...

Tech - live setup, mixing, equipment, home recording, electrocution avoidance. Marketing - band logo, gig posters Music - songwriting (albeit just three) Parked next to hi-hat for whole gig with a big grin, enjoying the soloists

The master list of my favourites slowly evolves, but these three have been on that list for 25+ years: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Echo & the Bunnymen - Crocodiles Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

Was there gravy and onions in it? Makes all the difference...

I must try it with Metallica's 'Batter-y' (fetches coat...) Cheers for the link - for a second I though the first picture was Bryan Ferry, with a different hairstyle! I'll give it a go with the thumb and should probably take up smoking for the full effect. But which brand...?

Was listening to the first Roxy album, which I've loved for decades, on a meagre MP3 dock whilst making the Sunday roast. I was amazed at how well the bass cut-through, despite the somewhat low-fidelity setup, and the fact that I dropped a Yorkshire pudding on the dock at one point... I think he was an excellent and versatile player, and if you haven't heard it do check it out. Sadly it was his only album as he left shortly afterwards, although of course he was followed by superb work from John Porter, John Gustafson et al. on subsequent albums. Not many photos of him from that time, but looks like he's playing a Gibson EB-3, and I'm guessing with a pick - can anyone confirm that...? Cheers!

Yes indeed and a big thanks from me - also for HTTPS
