Weird, I know very little on the subject but the far East producers seemed to look after us lefties a bit better than the Yanks do. Saved me a few hrs trawling the Internet to see what they sell for though, thank you!

When I bought my first property the mortgage company went through my bank account in forensic detail and I got questioned about £14 per month DFS sofa payment and a £7 a month fee to be a member of a professional body. They never asked why my Vodafone bill was well over £150 in one month though... Nothing dodgy. I was on hols in the US while my girlfriend, now wife, was visiting family in Australia. Expensive phone calls and messages!

Everything my band plays goes D C G so I'm OK breaking three strings.

@kodiakblair that Fretless is perfection! Tell me they're the only Japanese builder that didn't do lefties?! Lie to me if you have to. I've got kids to feed.

Decent honest Yorkshire / Humberside folk!

That's how I do my entire set. Can't stand listening to the originals after playing them so many times for almost four years!!

That's odd. The tab seems to be a half step higher than the sheet music if you go purely off the chord notes... Eg sheet music says Ebm9 tab says Em9. Either way, learn the pattern and shift up or down a fret for the band is what I'll have to do anyhow. Thanks for this.

I get what you mean. Sometimes the res a missing ingredient and it's hard to know what it is... We tried "crazy" by gnarls barkley and there was always something we couldn't pinpoint missing. What chord progression were you playing for Moloko?

Does anyone play this? Gorgeous melodic bass line but I'm struggling to get playing it... In all fairness I've made hardly any effort. I started off with a bad Internet tab and haven't yet checked any other sources but if anyone plays it and has some easy to follow tips (like it's a C, G, F chord progression just play minor fills under that... That kind of easy tip!) I'd be incredibly grateful. I kinda should have learned it a few months ago and haven't got round to it! Thank you

FACK OFF AND PUT THE FOOTY ON! Gets requested a lot...

LOVE IT!!!

I know you get P's housed in a soapbar but if its double P it has to have the Derek Smalls "proper" double P vibe. Off to get a quote for doing thus to my Fender..

Lovely bass, very tastefully done. I do like the PP concept like the 80s Fenders, can't remember the model name, and have often toyed with doing that to my MIJ P.

I hope they do well but I was expecting them to be in the 250-350 price range, a good value and good quality MIM competitor was what I had thought they would do when I saw the first pics. At almost a grand I just don't see it working but hope I am wrong, Ashdown are a good bunch and I want them to do well. Didn't see a lefty there though A lefty Telebass would be very welcome if just anyone will make it... Or do I have to ask Limelight?!

There are some ridiculous bargains on there if you look. There's also some second hand tat priced more than it would have cost new... So its a bit of a jumble sale search but can be worth it. Bought a Fender amp from them for a steal a few years back.

Looks like a steal! Gorgeous pair of basses and not a lot of money layed out, well done!

I've bought two new basses recently. A Sire arrived from Thomann with the most perfect setup, no complaints at all, ready to play out of the box. I bought my MM Stingray in Wunjo's, it was nicely set up in the shop, so no complaints. They did me a full set up for free and I get that for life from them if I can haul my bass back and forth to London! However if the action was ridiculous or intonation off I wouldn't gave hesitated to ask them have a look because it was a serious investment and I want to properly test drive it. If I were just tinkering with no intent to buy I wouldn't bother but if you're serious about buying an instrument I expect the shop to help and the customer to be able to wait a short while.

I only own a lined Fretless but have dabbled with unlined and found it far easier than I expected. I am very keen on the idea of building up a bitsa unlined PJ using a decent fingerboard and hardware and some cobbled together bits.

My view on it is if someone is going to make a blatant fake to knock out as cheap as possible they aren't going to be too concerned about quality control. *waiting for comments on Warwick vs Spector, etc.

Standing in the Shadows of Motown from my amazing wife. Can't wait to get in to that, though the kids somehow had other ideas of what to do with my time yesterday!! I also treated myself to a second hand squier classic vibe tele as I haven't had an electric guitar for a very long time and I'm bored of my acoustic and it's limitations. It arrived on Xmas Eve which was a nice result.

We have been asked for loads of gigs and functions for this NYE and the last but turned all down... Its the drummers wedding anniversary. He will gig, he just puts a price on it. Which isn't particularly high to be fair!

Local to me, I'm just down the road. Unfortunately won't be able to get out due to having small children and not looking for a babysitter on NYE but let me know the name of your band etc and I'll keep an eye out for you!

Sorry to be political but I'd vote for Scotland to be independent as long as bagpipes are pu ishable by death in the rest of the UK. And non Scottish people wearing kilts at weddings.

Available in pizza express.

Looks great. I like Bartolinis in a jazz, worked well in my MIM, but it depends what tone you want. It's a good looking bass with decent pickups. If only someone's mum hadn't written his name on it before he took it to school
