Ceremony: 24 hours:

That clip might be rubbish but Hooky did some brilliant bass (yes, bass not guitar or anything else) lines. What is more they help make (and in some cases define) the song, despite his lack of technical brilliance. Take a listen to 24 hours, Ceremony, Transmission, or several others (LWTUA already mentioned, She's lost control, Disorder). No other bass player (at least at that time) sounded anything like him. How many bass players today can make that claim?

Look cheap to me. BassDirect sells them at £80 a time: [attachment=72884:ggr_pic.jpg]

IME, D'Addario Chrome flats are bright and can be slapped (not that I slap) for a fair while before they dull down - much more so that TIs or the very thuddy Pyramids. They still have the nice slipperiness of flats though

Me too, same as above

Just did umpteenth deal together with Chris. This involved swapping rigs and a bass with two necks, so slightly more complex than our usual! The constant of course was meeting in a hotel car park off the M25 and doubtless appearing to other bemused hotel guests as some sort of weird music instrument traffickers. As ever Chris was a joy to deal with and a lovely bloke to boot.

I just sold Nick a Fender 62 RI P bass. Nick was very straight, quick to make up his mind and even quicker to pay. An altogether excellent selling experience. Highly recommended BC'er to do biz with

So what if there is a small gap in the neck pocket or whatever,it's no big deal. Get one and work with it. For me,Fenders feel nicer as they get played in,and that won't happen in 20 minutes. Get a decent feeling one and work with it for a while.[/quote] Agreed, neck pocket gaps are over-rated as an issue IMHO. Most of my Fenders (young and old) have had a small gap and I very much doubt it had any affect on the bass' sound or playability (although I cannot of course prove that). Big gaps are different (I sent back a 2009 MIA Jazz with a whopping gap you could squeeze a coin into) but small gaps no biggie

Check out 4 Candles's seafoam green MIJ Jazz that he has up for sale on BC. Phwoar!

First one, prearloid too Las Vegas, C&W for me. But before that you need to straighten out the bridge and pickups which have gone a bit skewiff

[quote name='farmer61' post='1121043' date='Feb 9 2011, 10:04 AM']Hmm interesting exchange of words on Monday, when I was busy answering pm's about my Jazz sale. Mrs F61 "what you doing now?" Me "I'm selling one of my basses" Mrs F61 "why you selling another one?" Me "Cause I've got a new one incoming" Mrs F61 "I hope your [b]NOT[/b] selling that Rick thingy that you got on our 25th anniversary" Me "ahem no" Sounds like the Ricky has become a keeper all of a sudden [/quote] I have a 30th anniversary Fender Stratocaster bought for me in 1993 for my 30th birthday with my wife's last ever paycheck before she retired to full-time family rearing. I am not allowed to sell that either, even though its been sat in its case for over 10 years as I just don't ever play guitar!

They are all coming out of the woodwork! Despite my well known Fender-itis, I once had a Warwick - a Thumb 5 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=61774&pid=1117628&st=380&#entry1117628"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry1117628[/url]

Is this destined for a Wayne-TM paint job?
