  1. Seventh Son was my cutoff too. Not for any reason but my musical tastes took me all over the show. I bought Brave New World when it was released, listened to it a couple of times but wasn't really interested any more. I did go to the Brixton Academy to see them, about 20 years ago, they were really good, great energy
  2. When I was a kid, my second bass guitar was a Musicmaster. My first Fender. Sold it after 6 months and moved onto a Manson Explorer bass. I always wanted my Musicmaster back and that was nearly 40 years ago. The JMJ is black, as was my Musicmaster. Sort of replaced.
  3. does the vintera have the chunky neck of the JMJ I have a JMJ, it's fabulous
  4. That's the first time I've ever listened to Jaco play. What struck me was the drumming. Such swing. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will go and check out more of Jaco's playing
  5. it's worth emailing JHS with your string problem. They are pretty helpful actually. I had a guitar that needed a re-wire and they sorted it out, quickly and easily
  6. Indeed, push on Steve and welcome
  7. I might make a short video of it compared to my 73. I've done this before with something else comparing it to my 73. watch this space lol
  8. When Bruce first joined they flew to Italy to do some gigs. My brother was in a band in Rome at the time called The Raff. He met Maiden at the airport and asked if they could support them, Sure they said and they opened for them in Padova and Milan. The B-side to The Number of the Beast was a Live version of Remember Tomorrow recorded at the those gigs IIRC I became quite a maiden fan at this point
  9. yep me too, about 1988/89. Played to a few mates who travelled up to see us. Had a right laugh
  10. I just dont seem to get the time, I just noodle on it when I get a spare 5 minutes I might just go home early today and try it against my old 73 P bass
  11. I've still not plugged it in yet, but I've put the black pick guard on it. Looks fab The neck, though, WOW it's just so playable
  12. I have 3 Vintage 6 string guitars. They are all extremely good. I will eventually pick up a P bass copy, should one appear locally
  13. where I work, we have used DPD for a number of years. I don't think we've ever had a lost parcel with them.I have also shipped guitars and amps all over europe with no problem, using DPD. But since Brexit, we only use DHL, who are pretty rubbish to be honest and I won't be shipping any personal stuff now Still use DPD for uk shipping though and they are ok for that
  14. I still have mine, bought new 9 years ago. Went wrong and was replaced and has been fine ever since. I love the sound but have since moved to Ashdown as I wanted to support a British company But I still have the Ampeg in my practice room. It has done a lot of gigs under my ownership
  15. yep I still have my PF500. A great amp but I've switched to Ashdown now. RM500 evo II. I keep the Ampeg as a spare
  16. I'll see what the one I've already bought is like, if it's no good I'll send it back
  17. Recently bought a custom shop '62 pickup from Paul, I think he'd put it in the post before I'd even paid for it buy and sell with confidence Thanks mate
  18. Collected a lovely Northwest Guitars bass neck from Pete Lovely guy, super easy transaction cheers mate martin
  19. I've just bought a set £13. worth a go for my bitsa build P bass that I'm working on
  20. I'm putting together a bitsa Precision A recreation of a bass I first had in 1988. It was late 70s, schaller 3-D bridge , maple board, black/white/black pickguard question is, what pickguard should I buy. WD do one, about 40 quid. It's very good but seems a bit expensive ideas please good people
  21. its happened I was a bit underwhelmed at first. For about 10 seconds but that neck! It's the closest profile to my 73 P bass I've played Might need a trussrod tweak but acoustically it sounds huge. I've not plugged it in yet, maybe tomorrow but I'll get some pics up in the morning defo needs the black pickguard, it will remind me of my first Fender, a late 70s Musicmaster bass Stock flats seems good right now though, back to the 2nd half of Swiss v france (and my red wine)
  22. bargain. I had an SQ Strat. 70s headstock and 3 bolt neck. It was superb
