Andy sold me some P-Bass "ashtray" covers. Great guy to deal with.

Thanks Andy. The covers are a great finishing touch on my P-Bass project.

Great job!!

I love P-basses!!!

Iggy Pop wrote China Girl with Bowie when they were living in Berlin together. Then, Iggy recorded it on his album, "The Idiot".

David Bowie's cover version of China Girl was cool. As for previous comments regarding those insipid, breathy vocal, cover versions of classic tracks used on TV adverts - they drive me crazy! The "Ain't Nobody" one is especially irritating!!

One of my favourites: Devo - (I can't get no) Satisfaction

That was "Exit, Stage Left" - the Glasgow Apollo crowd are the ones providing singalong accompaniment to the track "Closer To The Heart"

Hahaha

I don't use a fretless with a pick - that was there as a backup for the guitarist I was playing with. He was prone to dropping his, so I thought I'd have one as a spare in case he needed it while playing on my side of the stage.

Just for you - here's a start!

As long as your shoes coordinate with you the colour of your bass, you're ready to groove!!!

If it doesn't drop between now and the release date, you can simply cancel the order before the release date.

Spongebob - if you pre-order via Amazon, you'll only be charged the lowest price they list between when you place the order and the release date. So, if you pre-order at £40, when the price drops to say, "£22.99" you'll be charged that price. If it fell to "£18.99", you'd be charged that price. Basically, you're charged the lowest price advertised.

Interparcel will give you a full refund as they've not fulfilled their delivery promise. Pain in the butt for the delivery process, but the refund will cushion the blow.

Very sad news indeed.

The list price is £40, but the sale price will go down and up between now and the release date. The £18.59 price was a mega deal that the price reduced to shortly after it'srelease date was announced (hence why I ordered two copies!!). If the price drops below that amount between now and the release date, I'll simply be charged the lowest price.

Yeah, my pre-order price was £18.59 too, with free delivery (I also ordered another copy as a present for my friend Paul Turner). If you pre-order the book on Amazon, then they will honour the lowest price it is advertised for between the time you order it and when it is actually released.

I've already pre-ordered the book. Really looking forward to seeing the collection in print.

I saw that clip last week and was really impressed. The bass player gets a great Geddy sound from his G&L bass. Another fun Rush cover band are "Fred Barchetta" who feature Uriah Duffy (ex Whitesnake) on bass. The girl singer really nails the early Rush vocal on this track, I've included a YouTube link below: (Incidentally, how do you embed YouTube clips in replied on this forum?) http://youtu.be/HodK8zn7xz4

It was also cool to see John using one of his two Sei Basses in the studio clips too (for all the bass spotter nerds). As for the David Lynch film comments above - yup, I have to agree, it was absolutely dire!!!

I've got it - good watch, but it should have been called "The Will Lee and Richard Bona" film as they'e got the most screen time - WAY more than anyone else.

As much as the show seems to get slated, it' the bestbliveusic show on TV these days, and still provides the occasional gem. Peter Gabriel - performing "In Your Eyes" (incidentally, how do you embed YouTube videos on this site?) https://youtu.be/fQeeJaemrMY

The old Presentation model has a truss rod- but as you correctly stated earlier, there are no stiffening rods or materials in the neck construction (a truss rod doesn't act as a "stiffening agent", rather it is there to counteract the tension exerted by the strings on the neck). I've played Dave Swift's presentation model, and yup, there is definitely a truss rod in there. Crazily expensive basses!!!

While the Fodera Anthony Jackson has no graphite stiffening bars in the neck, it does use a truss rod - a titanium one.
