Here's a before and after shot, showing what the Flitz did for the brass on my bass [attachment=150928:$T2eC16ZHJIcFHOrnFz+iBSfdk6Be,!~~60_57.JPG][attachment=150929:post-2944-0-02113900-1386600229.jpg]

Good work! I just cleaned up years of tarnish and gunk off the brass bridge on my recently acquired Alembic with Flitz paste (its what Alembic recommend for cleaning brass components) Link here, £7 http://www.transtools.co.uk/accessories/polishing-and-buffing/flitz-paste-polish-for-metal-plastic-and-fiberglass-50g

Nice one Dave and Mrs Dave! Lovely news

Owen you could always nip over to music-outlet-shop to pick up this fixer-upper bargain http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50s-FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-UPRIGHT-ELECTRIC-BASS-/121223651642?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c397e213a Or maybe not

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50s-FRAMUS-TRIUMPH-UPRIGHT-ELECTRIC-BASS-/121223651642?pt=Guitar&hash=item1c397e213a Just missing all hardware, bridge, electronics .... err, its basically little more than a plank of wood!

I have recently been listening to 'The Geese and the Ghost' by Anthony Phillips, the pre-Hacket guitarist for Genesis and its a great reminder how important he was to setting the tone for early 70s Genesis as well as a virtual-Genesis album (Mike Rutherford co-wrote quite a bit of it and plays on it, vox are by Phil Collins). If you like Trespass and Nursery Cryme this will be right up your street Here's a nice YouTube compilation of the album plus extras: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EffLIs0PpKU[/media]

Socks are good for metal

Fortunately I believe our Roger is on the road to recovery Happy Chrimble to the BassChat DB massive from me. Definitely the friendliest part of the forum IMHO

I assume they are double bass strings

I've owned a couple of lovely Mk 1 fretlesses (Happy Jack now has one of them) and these were a delight. I wasn't so impressed with a fretted Mk 2 I owned and quickly sold on as the neck was not for me (V-shaped and very deep) and it was too heavy for my dodgy back

Hey Lenny, would love to be there but its my son's 16th birthday do that evening. Hope its a blast and do keep us in touch with any trumphal follow-up dates

Surely the punters must also think they are too loud? If you can get some comments from the crowd then that should help persuade your guys to turn down. The alternatives are to get a mag pickup (no feedback; make the guitarists split the cost between them) or to pack up and find another band. I'd be inclined to find out what the audience thinks first though
