    It does say on their page 'closed for the foreseeable future', which might not be so promising. The local guitar shop to me does that too though. Would be good if they did it to your own design, but it is just premade stuff. However, the results do look very good in person.

    You call your band what you want. I doubt it will be controversial, you will probably get booked for a few EDL or UKIP events, and excluded from normal pubs, but I presume there is some money in there.

    Its a 42mm neck, so it was irritatingly only just too wide.

    That’s the nut I got for my fireman, and still have as it was too wide!

    I don't really know bass solo, but I would assume a higher end would be more useful, so a E-C strung bass. Pickups wise, I just got a hohner B2V with Aguilar pickups in it and they sound nice.

    The arrival of the black B2V in these photos means that the red B2 next to it now needs to move on, i have too many basses and can't justify keeping both (and I don't play 4 strings really any more). I have had this bass for a several years, it has been to every gig I have ever done, but not ever been played at a gig, it is just small and easy to put in the car as a backup. However, at an audition when playing my dingwall they said they liked the playing but hated the tone and did I have another bass, so I got this out, and got the gig, so it has earned me a bit. It has a few dinks and scratches, it is in ok condition for its age (that said I have no idea what its age is). It is a passive one. Its always in tune and doesn't seem to be affected by anything, so it is a great backup or travel bass or main bass if you live on crowded stages. Not really after any trades as I am trying to trim the herd, but although feel free to ask. I can put it in a hohner gig bag, and if you want to pick it up from yeovil or meet somewhere in the south west, the new one came in a hard case so you could have that. Or I could post it. Pictures - its the red one:

    I got Genesis trick of the tail digital remaster, and then physically threw it out as it was so awful. By changing some of the levels and parts they had increased the echo on some of the guitar parts that it actually changed the time feel of some of the tracks, and I absolutely hated it. I certainly wouldn't buy a digital remaster if there was a choice.

    The first add I answered in JMB was the band I was with before this one that was a startup band - we went for a year and a bit, and did 40 gigs or so, so it doesn't seem that unusual, then when that fell apart I put another advert in and joined the band I am still with
  10. Woodinblack
    Agreed - but the OP does say that they had agreed that this time they would look for gigs. So its more about trust then action, I doubt anyone would have a problem if at the start of something it was agreed you wouldn't be gigging.

    I must admit to being one of the 'if we hadn't started looking to arrange gigs at the 3 month stage I would be looking for something else' types. But only if I was really enjoying the band for those 3 months, otherwise I would want to be gigging much quicker.
  12. Woodinblack
    That is a thing of beauty!

    or put your wrist on the pickup cover? I must admit to not being a fan of covers. The look good on the right basses, but I don't really get their point apart from that retro look. The squier 70s P bass I have came with a bridge cover, but that got in the way of where I want to put my wrist to damp the strings sometimes. Looked good though.
  14. Woodinblack
    Yes I think the plain would be good, anything with a bit of contrast, however low. the other issue with the splayed ones is that the dark points look like knob markers, so should be in the same place!
  15. Woodinblack
    Guess it depends how you play - I don’t have too much trouble with a pickup cover on a p as you can go in front or behind it. Going to be pretty striking on stage!
  16. Woodinblack
    I love those knobs on their own, but on the body like that they are a little camouflaged. They would look great on a dark or un-spalted light surface, but there maybe a bit lost? with the pickups and hole being dark (are they pickups or holes? I am on my phone so can’t see), dark knobs could contrast nicely, either way though they are fantastically done - wish I could do something like that

    I had a rockinbetter that I changed the pickup on to one where the pickup pole didn't go over the E properly and its output was very down on that string, so much so I had to change the pickup. It could have been just a rubbish pickup though! If you don't need one though, that would be good to know, the options for blade P pickups are limited.
  18. Woodinblack
    Its really interesting - I am doing a 5 string P bass, and I was assuming I would need to get a rail pickup. Interesting if a normal 4 works instead. Blue and orange is funny, they are my wifes 2 least favourite colours. I remember once we got new mobile phones from orange, it came as blue and orange, my wife opened the box and cried, 'its so ugly!'. There is noway I would be able to put that in my house!

    Seems a bit elaborate to fake a mex geddy lee jazz for £300? If you were going to fake one wouldn't you fake the american one?

    QCAD is quite good for small things, but grinds to a halt for big stuff. I used qcad to design my Fireman that I just finished Draftsight has a free version that works well

    To be fair, he did have an career before, in that he was full time touring - the Stephen Fry thing just helped a lot.

    Their website started working again, so now I have ordered some strings - thanks for that.
  23. Woodinblack
    because you can put things under a syn drum kit, unlike a real drum kit
  24. Woodinblack
    I am like that with a guitar. Can pick one up and play pretty well (which is lucky as i have a few) but when I get back on a bass it is all good. Maybe you are just meant to be a drummer?
  25. Woodinblack
    Unfortunately it seems their website is dead, I will try emailing them
