  1. Damn I'm playing that day and I'm local too
  2. It sounds to me that you stuck the strip on the front of the baffle. I think you should stick it on the edge facing in, that way the leds would face each other and not outwards. I think this would be the desired effect. I have these in my kitchen as my under cupboard lighting. It can be like a flipping disco in there.
  3. minitaur, lovely. That should melt some internal organs
  4. wow, that is so cool
  5. harsh....(funny though) I like dead rounds, different to flats but (the way I play) likely to snap and I still use Roto swing bass.
  6. no it's not that one. it was a lighter shade. I think someone tried to sell me that one though but I thought it was too scruffy.
  7. Any got this bass. It was a custom order in 1991. A chap ordered it when I worked in Music Mart in Canterbury. Total custom colour, probably a one off. I think it was a 4000 series but can't be sure
  8. I've picked up some real 'collection only' bargains. I have driven all over the country (I live in south east kent). Driven to Mablethorpe, Wigan, Newcastle upon tyne, Newquay. I've met up with people in service stations, Fleet M3, Potters bar (what ever its called), Clacket Lane, Maidstone. Wigan probably the best deal. 1989 PRS custom 24 signature series. £1500. Should have been much more than that. i'm always prepared to meet people, if I want to sell or buy, I do my best to get to their house to buy and am as flexible as possible when selling., I've couriered guitars all over the world and even a Fender twin reverb to Italy.
  9. that's a great demo with the 77 sounding sounding great BUT, it's the only maple board in the test, so it's not comparing anything like the others. They were all rosewood with alder of basswood. It would have been great to hear a maple board alder body too, as I personally prefer the thump of an alder body. I have numerous P type basses and the ash body one is the weakest IMO but I used to have a Sting Jap Fender with an ash body and it really purred. My '73 is alder and rosewood and sounds amazing, My alder with fretless maple board bitsa (custom shop fender 62 pickup) also sounds marvellous. some nice playing on that demo too
  10. The ledgendary producer, Chris Tsangarides has passed. He lived local to me and was an amazing guy. He did some production work for me about 12 years ago and I gave him one of my WKZ valve amps, which he tured with and recorded most people that came to the Ecology rooms . He had produced some of rock's finest acts including, Gary Moore, Lizzy, Malmsteen, Judas Priest. He also did sterling work for Jive records, including Tight Fit, Sam Fox and Mamas Boys. RIP Chris
  11. Here are my three. Red Pbass is a Bravewood body, EY Parts neck Natural is a Jap PB Ibanez Musician. best sounding is the red one, with it's alder body
  12. Why don't you call it 'SKYBONE' skybone
  13. I'm in 2 bands and a duo. My Police tribute is all organised by 'Andy Summers'. To this I bring 'Sting'. I'm very good at it and have been doing it 10 years now. I always put 100% into every performance, even if the crowd is small (we did a corporate do at a sports club, all the guests had been there all day, got hammered and went home before we even arrived. We played to the organisers and bar staff, having already been paid and told we could go if we wanted) They got 1 hour of full energy. In my pub band, I bring everything. I organise all the gigs, meetings and rehearsals. I bring the PA and lights. I sing 6 or 7 songs and provide all the B/Vs. It's an utter ballache, it's like herding cats. My duo, again, I organise all the gigs and PA, sing and play guitar. My keyboard player does all the technical stuff. Backing tracks and sequencing and plays absolutely fantastic keys/piano.
  14. Mark bought my Thunderbird from me. Very easy guy to deal with, met me halfway, great communication. A really top bloke too. Deal with confidence here

  15. any idea if Guy is doing both days?
  16. He couldn't fix Eric Clapton's broken acoustic........There were tears in Kevin
  17. There,s can't stand losing you, hole in my life, roxanne, from the first album which have that kind of thing on with the guitar parts but other than that, some of the other tracks are almost Ska, in feel, again only a couple though (Canary in a coal mine) New Wave/Post Punk is about right
  18. Remember they started out very punky and then evolved. Their last album was nothing like the first and in the scheme of things, they weren't around that long. The B side to walking on the moon 'Visions of the night' still punky. I always thought Ghosts in the machine was their weakest but since doing the Police tribute (10 years now) I don't believe it is. Each album has some real gems on it
  19. try playing and singing Driven To Tears. It took me a damn long time to do it and even now it's a challenge
  20. of course i think he's talented. He writes good songs and plays very complimentary bass parts. Love that bass too, sounds like my one
  21. lol, my friend has a mocha strat. Looks horrible. I can honestly say, what a terrible colour!! lol. Sorry guys
  22. Brown, that is all
  23. now reduced to £1050 with possible trade for 5 String jazz, something like a Sire
  24. Thanks mate, it is very light and has a fantastic neck
