    I bought a body from guitarbuild when making my mud 50's P-Bass (2 piece swamp ash - single coil rout with body contours). Really nice.

    The output jack is to be mounted in the milled cup rather than the pressed steel type [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/6bb191c1.jpg[/IMG]

    Okay, I'm off to buy more instruments!! Hahaha

    I've never thought about this before, but looking at all the situations I've played in, I've always played stage left ( from the band's perspective rather than looking at the stage from the audience). I think I like to be able to look to my right and make eye contact with the drummer? Maybe if I played with a left handed drummer it might change the situation?

    Well, things are almost ready for final assembly. I'll need to dress the neck pocket to ensure a perfect fit. Then, it's time for assembly, nut dress, fret levelling and crowning, setting intonation, adjusting pickup height, and then were ready to gig!!!! [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/c336d038.jpg[/IMG] The neck plate has a number "6464" which would date it to 1955/56 (and it's also my date of birth! Hahaha). [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/e26ff6d5.jpg[/IMG] The pickup is a Seymour Duncan Antiquity unit. [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/04e3781c.jpg[/IMG] And, the rear string ferrules are the period correct large types: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/c3945403.jpg[/IMG]

    In the car with my 9 year old son the other week, I asked him "which cd shall we play?" His answer? - "don't put on the band with the xylophone - they're weird!!". Hahaha. I guess Frank hasn't connected with my son's musical tastes yet, huh?

    I've decided to sell my Nocaster. Shame really as it's the best tele I've ever played. It has a modern "C" shape neck rather than the usual baseball bat, so it's not tiring on your fretting hand. The tweed "thermometer" case is s cool touch too. The pickguard is a Clive Brown repro - fantastic attention to detail. Here's some pics: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/c46bdc47.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/eae5eeba.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/CIMG00101.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/CIMG0010-5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/fender%20custom%20shop%20nocaster/257e34be.jpg[/IMG]

    Yeah, there are some dodgy scams on there. Saying that, there are some great bargains. Such as - my Fender Custom Shop Nocaster Relic. Less than a year old when I bought it via Gumtree. All the goodies in the case. Actually, it came with the two cases - the black moulded fender case, and the retro, tweed shaped "thermometer" case. Cost? £750!!!!!!! Result!!!!

    John Mayer's latest album "Born And Raised" is my current disc of choice. Very 70's singer songwriter vibe to it. I'm hearing the influences of Clapton, Elton John, Neil Young, Allman Brothers amongst others. It's a REALLY good album! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0x2OQpFvak&sns=em

    Unfortunately they're not mine - boo hoo. Paul Turner emailed me the picture yesterday just to make me jealous! Hahaha. (the units are his). Paul used the Deep Impact pedal in various settings on the last Jamiroquai album and needs a few units to set the sounds up in the effects loop (plus he has 4 units so he has backup - the pedals aren't exactly "road robust" internally"!!)

    This is just showing off!!! Hahaha [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/117fc919.jpg[/IMG]

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1339958150' post='1696825'] Y'all know that there are some great young bands playing near you for a lot less money, right? [/quote] And why would going to see Rush next year stop me (or anyone else) from going to see other bands? I'm going to see plenty of other acts between now and next May (in fact, I'm going to see Dorje and The Drills tomorrow night - Phil X!!! Yay!!!).

    Some folk say they're not going as it's too expensive - fair enough, that's your opinion. As for me, I'm going and am really looking forward to it. I'm loving the new album and it'll be great to hear the band again shifting some air in Glasgow.

    Briwax is great stuff!! And, a tin lasts for ages! My brother had a through neck Strat style guitar made by Chris McIntyre way back in the 90's. He bought a 400g tin of Briwax shortly afterwards to maintain the lustre of his instrument. Here we are in 2012 and the guitar is still amazing, and the tin of Briwax has decades left of use still available.

    The Gallery!!!! http://www.thebassgallery.com/

    I've had absolutely no problem accessing the website. It's always been readily available. No idea why you should be experiencing problems viewing the site. It's very strange.

    Bass playing front people? Phil Lynott Sting Paul McCartney Lemmy Etc, etc, etc
  19. kevin_lindsay
    Seems pointless to me. If you're in the Market for bass gear snd someone on Basschat has the item you're after, it's easy to see it in the classified section. Posting a "hot deal" in relation to eBay defeats the purpose as it means loads of potential buyers bid a d the price shoots up.

    After all this TIM reading these posts, we need a biscuit to keep us going [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/13fc612b.jpg[/IMG]

    My copy arrived this morning - the fan pack is really a great idea. Mega magazine. The CD book format is very cool also. I'm enjoying the album so far. I'll give it s few listens before I make any comment - I don't want to make any rash statements. Saying that, I'm enjoying the looser, "live in the studio" feel to the album. The track "The Wreckers" has a "Live At Leeds / The Who" vibe to it.

    Jean-Jacques Burnel from The Stranglers!!!!! I heard that fabulously grungy bass sound and thought "I want to do THAT"!!!
  23. kevin_lindsay
    No sign of the disc here either! Saying that, we were told it'd be delivered on Monday 11th. So anything sooner will be an unexpected bonus. Still doesn't stop me from wanting it NOW though!!! Hahaha
  24. kevin_lindsay
    Eh? Billy's Attitude bass was developed by Yamaha based upon his modified Fender Precision bass!!! Do the forum guys think his Yamaha model was created after s dream he had or something?
  25. kevin_lindsay
    Had a look - what's with mr vain at the top of each page? I'll stay with BassChat!
