  1. I have one of these. It's fantastic. Great price and pretty much impossible to get as they were a special run...
  2. Something for the weekend bump
  3. I've had two 75RIs in as many years (both with maple boards). Great basses but my stingray gets all the work. Must. Learn. To. Dial. In. Jazz. Basses.
  4. That is an interesting vid as both basses seem to be 75RIs so the body wood (ash), bridge and pups/pots should be the same on both basses. It would be interesting to see the neck swapped between the bodies to control for the wood itself... Personally, I have always found a clear difference in tone between maple and rosewood boards as far as jazz basses and stingrays go.
  5. That's very interesting - clover machine heads on a lefty late 70s precision?
  6. Yup - slap cacophony keeps me away too Ed, which you will probably find surprising given how I used to play back in the day

  8. Yep - I came up through Britpop and the level of obsession over the way The Beatles wrote, recorded and lived their lives through their many phases of evolution was something to witness.
  9. Ha ha - ditto - in a service station on the way out of London in north Kent I was about to use the facilities when McCartney appears and asks if his wife (Heather) could use the bog as the ladies was bust. As any gentleman would, I let her use the cubicle then I went on to use the stand up facilities. McCartney went as well saying thank you very much for the help... There should be a thread on toilet conversations with bass legends...
  10. Allo, I have a virtually unused axiom pro 49 midi controller that I would like to to swap for a straight synth. I bought it to use as a logic controller and soft synth tweaking platform but never really got round to using it. Right now I would rather a straight all in one synth that I can tweak in the keyboard. Any thoughts drop me a pm... Cheers, Nick
  11. I love his playing on Rain - one of his first tracks cut with his Rickenbacker. Amazing sound. One of the most musical bass players... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aOJGJD-SQc"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcsM4Ku9kKE[/url] And another vote for Silly Love Songs - more than a little Jamerson in there…Rickenbackers are totally different basses with flats on. Defined, tight low mids, a great sound... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwKUaYBUYNc
  12. Top flight colour there old chap, have a bump...
  13. Yup - it's the best production fretless out there in my opinion. Sounds amazing and is built for comfort and playability...
  14. Cheers - it's a lovely bass...
  15. Yes, they are absolutely insane basses for the price. They sound huge and prove that you don't need a chunky neck and boat anchor body to get a big tone.
  16. Yup, Bass Gallery is the place. Denmark st is doomed, despite Wunjo doing their best to create a shopping atmosphere that wasn't repellent. I'll miss it though - I spent a lot of time lurking in andy's in the 90s...
  17. And a bump and a crafty price drop for my berg cab that has pretty much only been used in my home studio!
  18. I can assure you I am very across which Celinders are on the board
  19. Indeed - lovely basses Mikkel btw I'm on the lookout for a Celinder jazz so if you have one that's sitting under the bed unloved, drop me line! Has to be four strings and less than 9.5lbs in weight preferably.
  20. I'm still searching for the perfect J…and I will find it one day...
  21. Ah the XL2, a fantastic bass. One of the greatest basses ever designed…have a bump for a bargain.
  22. Yup - had two, sold them both and miss them both...need another one soon!
