I've just notice this is/was 3 tone burst. Does that make it a 70s bass, I cant see a logo on the headstock -

what if it's a commision sale Steve. When I worked in a shop (35 years ago) VAT was payable on the comission fee and not the amount given to the seller Our commision fee was 20% BTW it's nice to see when someone knows what they're talking about are you still in the job? -
I'd stick some 3 in 1 on it to start with, it shouldn't do any harm

What really impacts on your bass tone?
police squad replied to KingPrawn's topic in General Discussion
I watched the vid and it didn't tell me anything I didn't know I really enjoyed it though, one or two superb insights -
sounds weird to me I'd be out of there by now

Looks ok to me I've recently bought two more jazz necks. One from ebay, which looks amazing. Plenty of birdseye figuring etc and the other from Aliexpress. Looks good but not as pretty These are going to be used on my Adam Clayton replicas in gold and purple. atm I have no idea how good they are, they feel nice but I'm soon to be spraying a headstock in gold then attaching it to the body, to see how it all lines up, before I spray the body Also booked on a course to learn how to refret, fret level etc at Crimson guitars, which I'm really looking forward to

Are Trios the Way to go for Pub Gigs
police squad replied to Chienmortbb's topic in General Discussion
Trio works great if you have two singers, singing harmonies a lot I sometimes play the odd pub gig with my Policed band but playing general covers. We both sing and it sounds great, especially the Beatles stuff Locally there is more solos and duos, I think because of price. A lot of musos packed it in during covid here too -
i shall look into these, many thanks so far

Basschat massive I'm going to need a few cheat sheets for my newest gig, just to prompt me a few things like, Set List which bass to use (different tunings) and a few notes, how many bars the intro is, etc I use Stage trax for my duo but not sure what else to use I have an irig blueboard to turn pages your thoughts please

yep that's a corker

I sort of got it Like you, I've played rock music my whole life. It's what my friends expect of me but their faces when I tell them what I sing / play now are priceless. Growing up my older brother was in a (then) quite well known Italian rock band. Supported Iron Maiden, Ian Gillan, on Italian TV shows etc I loved Iron Maiden, Saxon, Motorhead etc but never told anybody how much I loved Wham! Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet

good luck to 'em all Saw Sabbath at Reading in 1983. Gillan on vocals and Bev Bevan on the drums I hope it's a great gig but I won't be there, it's too far and I don't do big gigs anymore

Phil, when they did the impressions, did you have to bite on something Do you sing live when using them? I ask this because an audioligist I spoke with said singers don't need to bite when doing the mould, but other people have said otherwise cheers

if you get a cheap endoscope from Amazon, you put it inside where the control plate is and have a look. It sends the image to your phone and you can read it https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BWF7QLGP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 £20.00

there will be a date stamp inside the body, I'm guessing that's a late 1964 bass, maybe early '65. Because of Macca, those basses were flying off the production line by now My '64 has '63 pots codes and a January date stamp inside the body (it also doesn't have a raised logo, making it quite rare)
