  1. is it lower back pain? if so have you ever tried the stretch you see fast bowlers doing, lay on your back and twist your hips so you're laying on one of them, keeping your shoulders flat on the floor and pull your knee up and bend to the floor. eg, twist so you're on your left hip, pull right knee up and push it towards the floor. Ihave a bad back quite often and when I do this I hear/feel a click in the lower back joints, and usually it cures it
  2. I've got 4 P basses. A '75 R/W board.............amazing. Best bass I've ever played. A modern jap maple board fretless (like Sting) again a great bass. A Squier JV '62 reissue made in '83, rings like a piano and my Bravewood '57 reissue (old shape, like a 55). great lightweight bass with a classic thump. They all sound like a P bass but they all sound different. Love em to bits
  3. [quote name='cameltoe' timestamp='1373404124' post='2137292'] Not as much these days judging by his website! He rather grumpily lists a string of things he won't do, which seems to include building instruments to order these days. Seems you now have to hang around and buy whatever he decides to make, whenever that might be. Shame, I'd really like a '57 P relic in the not too distant, and I'd rather not go Custom Shop if I can help it. [/quote] I thought that, but I emailed him anyway and he took my order. Try it, you never know. I promised to leave him to it and not bug him. It took nearly 9 months as he needs to let the paint cure before he distresses it
  4. Lovely bass. I have a Bravewood 'Sting' P bass replica and my wife has a '63 P bass replica (un reliced) He builds amazing instruments and he's a damn nice guy too
  5. I have a mate that only buys black guitars. His mrs can't tell the difference
  6. well spotted. It does get used though. I do about 30 Police gigs a year which get split between Fretless P bass, Bravewood 57 replica and the Ibanez. Depends what mood I'm in really
  7. Can't possibly do that. I use the Ibanez in my Police tribute
  8. welcome Mark, I'm in Dover!!
  9. I bought this last year from it's original owner. He used it in a punk band and then didn't play it for years and I did a deal with him for this and a Stagg EUB. I also just don't use it enough. It's in very very good condition. A few dings and a little buckle rash on the back but really nothing major. It weights 8 lbs on the bathroom scales and is 1 5/8 inches at the nut There's some sort of hard case somewhere in my music room for it too. Nice light weight (haven't weighed it but I can) and it rings like a piano. Recently set up and sporting a set of Roto Swing Bass. I don't think I even gigged this one. Recent purchase of my TVR is my reason for sale, so no trades. Looking for £850 which includes free shipping to anywhere in the UK. You're welcome to come and have a look/play and cup of tea. I'll even show you the TVR!! Please, no silly low ball offers. If I don't get what I think it's worth, I'll keep it under the bed with the Aria SB-R 150, Ibanez musician fretless, etc
  10. For sale is my 2002 custom shop R57. It's been well gigged and has Schaller strap locks and Seymour Duncan Slash pickups. A great guitar but needs to go as I want to buy a TVR. No trades because it's cash that I would like. Big 50's style neck and great tone. If you need anymore info, PM me. Cheers
  11. [quote name='dand666' timestamp='1370042087' post='2096057'] i have flats on my Hofner, and just about to put some on my Jack Casady. Love em. [/quote] Snap, I'm going to do that when I get back from my holiday
  12. that really is a great picture. and very similar to my post gig wind down although mine is a bit of dinner and bottle of red!!
  13. Well done Ant. When I started to play just over 30 years ago, I would play along to the top 40 chart show. Obviously not all the right bass lines but with a groove that fitted. It taught me great timing and to listen to what was going on. I remember some really simple but effective bass lines by artists like Kim Wilde, Keith Marshall (only crying), Status Quo. I also think that a great way to move forward is to play with other people. It's the one thing I tell people to do. Learn to Jam!! Enjoy Ant
