  1. Can I be first to say phwoaaarrrr! Truly lovely
  2. Friday, what is likely to be last ATQR gig for many a month. We are on somewhere between 9 and 9.30pm
  3. Might be a good idea for Andy Baxter to take your mate's bass off eBay then Chiliwailer! If someone places a bid where does that leave him? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1957-FENDER-PRECISION-BASS-2-TONE-SUNBURST-ANDY-BAXTER-BASS-/181622698939?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a498e73bb
  4. Andy Baxter has a rather more relic'd (but still v nice) '57 for just over £7k. The NKR price is absurd! http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=774
  5. I've played Jack's bass and I would really like it too!
  6. Paul bought some TI strings off me and all was good! I couldn't find a feedback thread so am pleased to be able to start one. Cheers Paul :-)
  7. Biggest barg on BC! Someone has to bite at this price
  8. Fullerton was Fender's factory in the early 80s and the reissues from that era are highly sought after and top notch http://www.fenderreissue.com/fullerton-era
  9. Re posting pics, you have obviously reached your maximum allowed size quota, GJ. If you go into your profile, you will see a Manage Attachments option on the left hand side menu. This will show all the photos you have previously uploaded - you can then delete redundant photos so that you free up space to post new pics :-)
  10. Roberto bought an Acoustic Image double bass combo from me. Great communications, paid quickly and was very patient while I sourced packing mateirals. Excellent stuff!
  11. My usual once-in-a-while string clear-out - a set of [b]Velvet Blues in vgc[/b] except a slight kink in G string (near the A/Bb position) which can be negated simply by twisting the string so the kink is at the side and neither touches board or fingertip - [b]£60 posted[/b] in view of the minor issue on the G (they run to £140 new inc post from Thomann).
  12. I got these last week off the splendid lozz196. For the last few years I have been using a heavier gauge of flat (La Bella standards) and I wanted to try the lower tension TI flats which used to be my string of choice 5 or 6 years ago. I put them on my Jazz and very quickly decided I prefer a heavier gauge flat after all. I paid £30 posted and - given some very slight extra fuzzing of the silks from me fitting and removing two days later - I will lop a couple of quid off, making £28 posted. Alternatively I would do a straight swap for vgc La Bella standard gauge flats (with the black silks)
  13. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1421180434' post='2658200'] ...but so right! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ZPzgPTmho [/quote] Like
  14. Another piccie [attachment=180710:10830973_10153055095513594_6687838370139890328_o.jpg]
  15. Was a lot of fun and first amp-less gig I have ever played. In case interested WoT, this was the setlist: Blue eyes * Life worth living New Madrid Give me back the key to your heart Whiskey bottle No depression Screen door Satan your kingdom must fall down Willin' * Sandusky I wanna be your dog * * covers that UT did (Blue eyes is a Gram Parsons track, Willin' is Little Feat, Dog is Iggy & Stooges obv!)
  16. Many congrats, looks retro-tastic! A nice 50s cartoon/tattoo waterslide would look a treat on it https://www.pinterest.com/pin/461900505507050841/
  17. Around 3 years ago I sold on a BassChat regular in the FS forums, an early 70s sunburst Precision that had been modded to have a Jazz width ebony fretless board, with added J pickup (so, a PJ fretless, cutting to the chase!) Think it was previously owned by BassBod, Beedster, Shaggy and possibly others. Did my first ever fretless recording on it and it was like a comfy pair of old slippers, in retrospect the nicest fretless I have ever owned. Sold it to a BCer who I have since nagged ceaselessly to sell back to me .... and he unsurprisingly won't (I wouldn't either)!
  18. My newest project, the Tupelo Uncles [attachment=180585:10929913_10152498225582735_6463666080753256218_n.jpg]
  19. This is my acoustic tribute side-project to alt-country band Uncle Tupelo. Here we are playing at the Betsey Trotwood pub in Clerkenwell on Thursday night [attachment=180583:10367683_10152499329817735_8458057287053333286_n.jpg][attachment=180584:10929913_10152498225582735_6463666080753256218_n.jpg]
  20. Lozz sent me some strings and - as usual - all was good!
  21. Apologies if posted before but Marcus Miller seems to be endorsing a low cost Jazz bass range [url="http://marcusmillerbysire.com/marcusmiller/page/product.html"]http://marcusmillerb...ge/product.html[/url] Not in stock yet at Thomann but under £300 [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/4_string_j_basses.html"]http://www.thomann.d...g_j_basses.html[/url]
