When I ordered cover from them at the end of last year, I never heard anything from them for 3 weeks. I contacted them to enquire how long it usually takes to get the cover made. I received a response a few hours later saying they would get it sorted in a few days. After that - nothing! I contacted them 5 times enquiring as to the progress and got no reply. I eventually had to resort to conta ting then saying I wanted to cancel the order as they had not provided me with any progress details or an anticipated completion date. Still no response. I eventually had to get my back to recall the payment as a fraudulent transaction! Absolutely terrible company, I wouldn't advise anyone to use them!!

Cool!!! I'll be buying the Classic Rock magazine / CD format.

Bass first - and it's always been my main focus ever since.

People referring to instrumental tracks as "songs" - if there aren't any lyrics then surely it's a "tune" rather then a "song"??

Ah, Minder - Mo Foster on bass again.

Just to warn you, the bone STINKS when you cut and file it - pooh-ee!! I remember being in Chris Mcintyr's workshop years ago and asking "what's the smell??". Answer, "it's bone mate, I'm making a new nut for this neck". Where dud you get the none from Chris? Answer - "it's my granny"!!! Hahaha ( he was joking by the way!!)

David Coulthard invited me to his 21st birthday bash. The band were great, and for sone strange reason he decided to get me up to play with them. I used the bassist's gorgeous vintage P-bass in Olympic White. Now, it was fancy dress and I was there - as a surfer - wearing a full wetsuit!!! I was pretty drunk, and was boiling, my head looked like a beetroot!! Anyhow, I strap the bass on and pluck a few notes - nothing! The guitarist checks my lead, still nothing. The amp is checked - nothing. The lead is changed - nothing! At that point the original bassist walks back on to the stage, leans down and turns up the volume knob on the bass!!! Aaaaagh!!!!!

Yummy!!!

I received my Guy Lewis thumb rest today. Maple in a single hole format for use on the mid-50's style P-Bass build I'm currently undertaking. The bass is being finished in Shell Pink and I've decided to finish the thumb rest in the same colour. The rest has Guy's name stamped into the wood on the base. Here's some pics of the rest in it's natural format, and also of it with the nitro lacquer applied also.

I too just received one of the emails. Thanks to your warning, I just deleted it rather than opening the message

It was the remastered version of So released in 2002 when Peter re-arranged the track order to finish with In Your Eyes

It was great hearing about how they slowed down the percussion and keys on Mercy Street. I now know how that fabulous, slurry rhythm was created. Loved it!

Yeah, I'd hoped they'd feature the section with Jerry Marotta playing Tony Levin's bass strings with his drumsticks while Tony fingered the notes! Great programme all the same

Great!!! Keep us up to date with the build progress matey.

I've ordered a maple, single hole one for my mid-50's style p-bass build. Still deciding whether to keep it natural, or spray the finger rest in Shell Pink to match the body????

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1332228044' post='1584979'] you GAVE IT AWAY, I can't believe it either Kev, you must be a truly generous, lovely individual or you were suffering some serious senior moment. [/quote] Yup, I gave it to Thr guy who married my cousin as a wedding present. Strangely, he seemed more appreciative of it than my cousin did! Hahaha

I think I'm gravitating towards an ebony one. I had an original '56 P-Bass a few years back, and that had a black painted maple finger rest on it. I miss that bass, still can't believe I gave it away!!!

Yippee!! 1 hour Classic Albums programme on BBC Four this Friday evening from 9-10pm featuring Peter Gabriel's album "So". Should feature some nice Toby Levin segments I reckon. Also, for those so inclined, there's a few hours of Prog Rick stuff directly afterwards.

GREAT!!! Just what I'm looking for. I'm currently making a mid 50's style P-Bass in Shell Pink. I don't want to have the finger rest in Shell Zpink, sonic wondering whether to go for a plain maple one, or one in ebony? Here's a pic of the style of bass with the pink rest in place [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/5977c871.jpg[/IMG]

JJ Burnel - the reason I took up bass!!

The original version GROOVES! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnUFVyt1dHQ&sns=em To me, the Marcus version is indulgent, and is ruined by the jazz dissonance.

I endured around 2 minutes of it - couldn't listen to any more. Bloody awful!

The pink bass was a Nordy old style P-Bass made for me by Carey Nordstrand. It's now owned by a guy in Sweden or Finland or thereabouts.

I use my '74 Jazz bass when gigging. Well, I did until Paul Turner borrowed it, I'm still trying to prise it back out of his hands! Hahaha [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/CIMG0008-8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/CIMG0003-9.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1331533630' post='1574173'] That doesn't appear to be a musicman neck on Pino's bass... [/quote] It's a Moses Graphite neck he had fitted while getting the fingerboard replaced on his Musicman neck
