[quote name='lojo' post='1094252' date='Jan 18 2011, 07:19 PM']Its also funny how there is always some subtle suggestions in these topics that Ps are played by a picking 3 chord punk types[/quote] You rang?

Cracking gig. Nearly Dan are a truly excellent bunch of musicians - the bass player ain't bad! Nice to meet you Pete and that was a first for me - posing as Nigel silddx's boyfriend/+1 to get on the guest list Sorry I couldn't hang around for a chat afterwards but I've just got in and my alarm goes off in just over 5 hours time

As so many people sell Fenders and Squiers on BassChat, I thought it might be useful to flag up the Fender Serial Dater Project - a website which allows you to date your instrument based purely on its serial number and country of origin (so need to pull off the neck unless you need a very precise date). Hope this helps! [url="http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx"]http://www.guitardaterproject.org/fender.aspx[/url]

This guy was selling a Warwick Triumph - do they have the exact same dimensions as the Framus (of which I understand its a replica/copy) in which case you could drop him a PM?

Best looking 5-stringer on BassChat IMHO!

Don't forget your strap and lead

He says he's more a structural person but has recommended [url="http://www.marcbutterlin.com/"]Marc Butterlin[/url] to people who've had the same problem.[/quote] Update: this chap says he does not do DB's, only violins/cellos, so have dropped a message to Malcolm Healey. Thanks again for the tips, gents

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1088551' date='Jan 13 2011, 08:23 PM']See you in the same pub beforehand, Nige.[/quote] In case I make it (looking good right now) which pub is that?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1089538' date='Jan 14 2011, 05:01 PM']Has it gone yet? *peeks around door* Oh, FFS.. it's still here. Be gone, temptress![/quote] Well hello big boy [attachment=68776:0157410_890_1.jpg]

[quote name='coasterbass' post='1089529' date='Jan 14 2011, 04:55 PM']Guess maybe I thought the appeal of doing a show at that venue for a good sized audience was more appealling than it seems from an outside perspective.[/quote] Its MASSIVELY appealing but my band could not pull in 200-300 punters sadly ... and I suspect therein lies the rub for most of us Best of luck with this

WD are good. Just give them a call to check which pattern the HW1 needs: [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Pickguards/Fender_Basses,b.html"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/category/Pickguar...r_Basses,b.html[/url]

[quote name='Raggy' post='1088512' date='Jan 13 2011, 07:55 PM']Thats nice. Be even better if it was black [/quote] What, like this one? [size=1]Shameless link to my AV62RI P/J[/size] [attachment=68735:P1000973.JPG]

Haven't you eaten a blue apple before I assume its either Lake Placid Blue or another custom blue (I think there's a Peacock Blue colour)

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1088468' date='Jan 13 2011, 07:21 PM']Hang on, Clarky, what about the cat? I want to know what state the cat's in ...[/quote] I am speculating here as there is no obvious reason for it to have fallen over! The cat* is lying six feet away from my computer, snoozing on the sofa looking happy as a cat that is snoozing on a sofa * name of Snoop Catt

It is a bit pretty for sure. I think a certain personoftyne may like this one! Shudder to think what Fender will charge for it, mind. Edit: MRSP is $4200, which is about £2600-2700.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1088428' date='Jan 13 2011, 06:47 PM']Also there's Maclolm Healey in Sutton: [url="http://www.healeyviolins.co.uk/"]http://www.healeyviolins.co.uk/[/url] He makes double Basses onsite, so knows what he's doing.[/quote] Thanks J-L. I have already sent a message to the guy LEB mentioned, who is very local to me, but if he cannot do the work I will contact Malcolm Healey.

Brilliant, Ad. Much appreciated. Will get in contact with him.
