  1. Saw James Taylor at Apollo last night. Still has that voice and what a band - Steve Gadd on drums, Jimmy Johnson on bass and a bunch of other fine players/singers

      His voice is like a warm duvet. He's not a bad player either, Lee Sklar said he had great difficulty putting down basslines on his earlier stuff as JT played the basslines as well with his guitar work.

  2. Fun fact. I bought NG a pint in the hospitality bar at the (retrospectively, in the circumstances) awfully named Toxic Twin Towers ball at Wembley in 1999. Aerosmith, Lennie Kravitz and Stereophonics played. He was stood next to me and I thought about offering my services as a bass player (Guiggsy had just left). Decided against it. Probably a wise decision.
  3. PS, for those with long memories, that 2013 thread is BassChat comedy gold. Featuring the demented ramblings of the multiple times banned Inti/Redburst/whatever (kept changing profile name after being banned)
  4. Hahahaha. A few choice quotes from that 2013 thread: Me: "That looks like a £90 children's starter bass. Who would pay up for that?: @wateroftyne: "it makes me want to sick up a little bit" @Happy Jack: "Where exactly is this closet? And how can I avoid getting too close to it?"
  5. Not angry Dave's finest hour or 3 minutes: Anarchy "for the USA"
  6. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/21-accessories-other-musically-related-items-for-sale/
  7. The link to when that bass was on sale on BassBros is a few posts above, timed Tuesday at 0918. However I would rather sell the Hot Rod purely on weight considerations, as the Japanese P weighs less than 8 pounds
  8. Here's a demo of the pickup possibilities with a very similar Lincoln. GLWYS, its a beauty!!!
  9. Congrats on your incoming Gibson Gene Simmons Thunderbird, Chris 🤣
  10. Another price drop. £899 collected or add £20 for UK economy delivery PS, now wearing Fender 9050L flats for full P goodness PPS, now on eBay too 😞
  11. My fave guitar solo ever. Rockbottom off live album Strangers in the Night. Starts about 3.55. Michael Schenker was insanely good at such a young age
  12. No interest? If this doesn't sell, my super light MIJ may have to go on the block as I don't need 2 P basses (plus I just bought a super light Jazz)

    @Old Horse Murphykindly tipped me off that BassBros had a really nice American 70s reissue Jazz just in, so I contacted Will before it even went up on the site and snaffled it. Super nice with flamed neck but - get this - weighs 8.0 pounds! The lightest Jazz I have ever played, fantastic! Only changes I made were to swap the stock white for a black scratchplate and to pop some Fender flats on. Pics or it didn't happen:
  14. Cheers Marc, all good! This is the sub 8 pound bass I was referring to https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/1999-fender-japan-pb-70-precision-bass-reissue-mij/
  15. Price drop: £950 including 48 hour UK postage or knock £20 off for collection
  16. Try WhatsApp with the contact number on BassBros' website 07946023849 I did and got a reply within a couple of hours
  17. Nice version! And gigging with sliders too 🙂
  18. PS, I could swap for La Bella LTF strings if preferred EDIT: not any more, the LTFs are staying on my other Precision! But I have some Fender 9050L flats if that helps?
  19. Excellent condition 2000 Fender Hot Rod Precision bass (the 'Hot Rod' refers to the addition of a J pickup) with only very mjnor bruises and dings. Definite 9+/10. Acquired not long ago but then I was contacted last week by a BCer with a super lightweight Precision I had previously been after. I don't need two P basses ( although technically this is a PJ) .... so up this goes. Weighs 9.1 pounds (4.1kg), wearing DR Pure Blues rounds and plays beautifully. Comes with generic hard case. Not that I believe in previous owners sprinkling magic dust, but if its of interest I bought this on Reverb from a certain former bass player of Simple Minds, Kate Bush and many others. £1000 collected/meet in SW13 (south of Hammersmith Bridge) or add £30 for UPS delivery. £899 collected or add £20 for UK delivery
