Cheers for the honest feedback guys..appreciate it... on the track Pray i used a 64 pbass with maple neck through a line 6 bass pod rack... on memory i used one of my Lakland 44-02 deluxe's again through the pod.. and finally on price i pay i used my white lakland Dj4 as its got the hipshot d-tuner peg on it..again through the pod... i dont like using amps in the studio..not for the bass...i dont think its needed...only my opinion tho!

www.myspace.com/ravenvandelle its a newish project... got some great feedback from labels,we are out in may to do a couple of showcases,one in norway the other in sweden let me know what you think!

i have USA Laklands and Skylines... and i have to say,i much prefer the skylines...for the money youre getting a world class bass.. plus if it gets stolen or damaged on tour you wont have a big dent in your wallet trying to replace it.. also,speak to Dan at Lakland..im sure they can source out a light-weight bass for you...they made me my white DJ4 light-weight as ive just had major surgery on my spine... sum them up in 3 words..."theyre the bollox" jj

i saw one of these in PMT in brum a few days ago.. its ok,but not worth anything near a grand...it just felt like a lump of heavy plastic...i was actually there with my father who told me to put it down as it was embarassing him hahaha i love signature models...but im not a fan of Maiden,so maybe thats why i dont like it

Not because I want one, but so their families (Zemaitis included) might make a few bob out of it. * Andy Fraser EB0 * Foxton Rick * Duck Dunn Precision * Entwistle Fenderbird[/quote] id love to see the Entwistle Fenderbird....Alembic made some sig basses called Spyders..and i own one of the Warwick Buzzards they made after his death...

maybe im stupid,but how would one know the date of a scratch plate?

hey. and welcome.. great advice all round from the guys here.. and i think it was Steve who suggested Trevor down at PMT..he is a great guy and a great technician...reasonable too.. hope it works out for you up here in brum jj

Take a look at ACS... ive just got fitted with these...plugs and in ear monitors... im awaiting their arrival.... iv got an Audio Technica in ear system coming too.... the use of in ears is to protect your hearing as well as giving you your own mix...the T-2 that ACS offer reduce stage volume by -26db.then you can have your icolated mix direct into your ear,at minimal volume.. genuis. i cant wait for them...

1.The John Mayer Trio 2.Rod Stewart and The Faces..Reunion... the later,being taken away from me at the very last moment by Conrad.... i was very near to living the dream or better still..with SRV and double trouble...oh yeah..

[quote name='OldGit' post='387951' date='Jan 21 2009, 08:16 PM']Envy .... Somehow I suspect that Jimmi is not short of respect. You don't get his gigs and endorsements without it.[/quote] Cheers my man..these guys need to get on it. I'm not sayin anymore on the matter. You nuts obviously ain't gona bid so I don't see how your bedroom player remarks are valid.

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='387926' date='Jan 21 2009, 07:49 PM']Mate, if you want to sell it get on there's a vintage Gibson Bass forum out there. As for being jealous, I saw this comment on another thread for a dodgey Precision, another forum member was accused of jealousy for making some factual comments about a decidedly dodgey guitar. I'm not saying your Thunderbird is dodgey but mate we're not 5 year old kids with attidude problems. One thing I think I can safely say is that not many people on here would resort to the comments out of shear jealousy. From what I can gather from the people who go on here *apart from your good self* is that that most are sane, level headed decent blokes who wouldn't resort to cheap comments out of "jealousy". They are making comments on the guitar you are selling. Lighten up and wise up. You'll get a lot more respect.[/quote] 5year old kids eh? They wouldn't have given me this much bother . I don't need to lighten up or wise up pal.nor am I on a quest for respect ? But thankyou. I'll stick to what I know an you stick to what you know. And as for the insane etc comment..grow up.

[quote name='OldGit' post='387848' date='Jan 21 2009, 06:35 PM']Hey leave the man alone. If he wants to price the bass at £7k then that's fine. Vintage things are totally different to everything else. You just can't compare one with another or with anything new. No need to get all nasty Good luck with the sale Jimmi .. I hope you included the US and Europe in your areas ..[/quote] Thanks mate... At last someone with some kindness instead of jelousy. O believe it to be available In the USA . Hope you're well Jj

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='387617' date='Jan 21 2009, 03:31 PM']As the man says, you have a weird definition of "mint". Mint means "undamaged, as if freshly minted." There is no such thing as "mint for its age." S.P.[/quote] im not even gona bother anymore... JOhn changed as the neck was too slim for his big hands..period. the bass is mint for its age..period. you guys OBVIOUSLY dont deal with expencive Vintage guitars...hense the lack of knowledge.. Bye..

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='387599' date='Jan 21 2009, 03:13 PM']you have a weird definition of MINT... there's obvious finish checking on the headstock... and the tuners are all tarnished...[/quote] my god...you guys are wierd... show me a bass from 1968 thats not tarnished...its MINT for its age. jeeeeeze... unbelievable.you guys really make me laugh.scratches can occur..anyways,the finish on the whole guitar is like that..its from 1968..???????? take a look at any NEW guitar that Gibson or Fender create,like their NOS custom shops which have checking...hahahahahahahahahaha as they say here in the black country...cowin' ell!

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='387591' date='Jan 21 2009, 03:05 PM']Wasn't saying the value was incorrect, more the "bass of this calliber" bit. Far better basses go for a fraction of this i'm afraid. And yes i am well, thanks! [/quote] no worries pal.. as i said in my last post...its a hell of a bass to play....if they were good enough for John,then theyre good enough for me.id use it over any other bass out there...if i could find a bass tech that didnt drink alcohol! glad youre well... enjoy the rest of ya week.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='385622' date='Jan 19 2009, 11:53 PM']Too true! I had it on a very long strap (looks ace!) but there was about 3 trees worth of wood in there so it was extremely uncomfortable. Don't think Gibson ever got a bass neck profile right either. The RD and every TBird i've played felt clumsy, like it didn't really want you to play it.[/quote] The RD Artist bass was originaly made for John Entwistle.it was to be his "signature" bass..hense the "artist" title and slight resemblance to the Tbird. never played one...altho,id love one,bein an Entwistle fan.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='387550' date='Jan 21 2009, 02:26 PM']It's a collector's item, not a player's bass. Its perceived value derives only from the fact that it is a rare design, and it was owned by the bassist from Oasis. It's only worth what people are willing to pay for it. S.P.[/quote] obviously youve never played the non reverse thunderbird? this is probably my best playing bass..taking into acount im a Lakland Endorsee,Fender UK Endorsee and Yamaha bass.. but yes,its only worth as much as someone will give me for it... and for me,Guigsy has probably tainted the sale some what..not exactly the greatest of players.
