    Ha Ha Ha - I was in Foul mood before the acoustic blues jam night on Tuesday, so instead of my tanglewood acoustic bass, fretless precision, NS-upright or an ashbory, I took my thunderbird and a very long strap. Cheered me up a bit.

    My default bass for most gigs though is the mustang or the tanglewood for acoustic gigs.

  2. I used to use a bit of cheap & cheerful PC software for this: magix audio cleaning lab - you can usually get the latest or previous version cheap whenever PC world have a sale. I wish there was a mac version as it was very easy to use and I could master a wav of an old cassette demo tape into a finished CD much quicker than I can now in Adobe Soundbooth.

    The trouble with myspace is that its always going to look a mess. It is not a substitute for a proper website if you feel you do need something more than a myspace sh*te.

    The one you linked to uses big blocks of text rendered as a graphic which can look nice, but are totally inaccessible to visually impaired uses (including the google spider).

  4. Wen I repositioned the button on my 'snowy-white' epi t-bird, I put a strap button screw in the hole with a nylon washer under it. Looks like a pointless bit of trim, but neater than a hole and possibly slightly less pointless than a non-used strap button. Last time I was asked what it was I said it was a laser and refused to demonstrate it for fear of blinding someone.

  5. [quote name='Starless' post='849176' date='May 27 2010, 09:25 AM']The ideal body would be a sunburst P, but finding that difficult to source without a neck on it,[/quote]
    I bought a MIJ sunburst P body from brandoni - it is identical to the one on my MIJ Fender '62 reissue. It was a while ago, but they might still have some.

  6. I'd get a standard MIJ alder jazz body from brandoni for about £100, colour it the desired colour with woodstain and then danish oil it - I did this (but with a lighter woodstain) on a brandoni tele body & it looks great and was very easy to apply. You could probably get a suitable neck from brandoni as well. Then build it up with whatever hardware suits the budget.

  7. [quote name='Metalmoore' post='842697' date='May 19 2010, 11:54 PM']I'm sure if you ask real nicely they might be able to help you out :rolleyes:[/quote]
    Don't encourage me - my missus thinks I already have enough basses :)
