I suppose it depends on what tone he's looking for really but just been helping a friend update an 80's MIJ strat. and in the end he plucked for.

He played a gig with it last week and through a JCM800 it sounded sweet. Not sure if he had to do some clever wiring the get them to balance levelwise or not but it rings nearly as well as his old '78 Les Paul Standard.

I look at all the great guitarists and bass players and can't help notice that the majority of them have huge hands and immensely long fingers. As someone who is afflicted with small handitous and even worse short little fingerosis. I can't help but try and tell myself that maybe that's a reason I'm not a better player, nothing to do with my lack of rehearsing or laziness. Anyone else suffer from this or is it just me?

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1378308258' post='2198446'] I'm guessing here, but I reckon he wanted a white bass. (I painted my fretless Corvette Standard white, it was that disgusting honey violin stain, you could see the wood grain on the body ffs! Hideous) MEC pups are excellent, SDs are too. You got it for about the right price. Great basses, congratulations. [/quote] I can see that point of maybe painting body a solid colour if its not got a special top on it, but the FNA Jazzmans had flame maple tops on them seems a bit of a waste to me.

Im not wholly convinced by this. http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/20068-bass-bench-the-future-of-bass

I saw the Jeff Beck one and was also surprised, like Phil, at the amount Jeff openly talked seeing as he is know for being a bit private. Have the strangest feeling from other interviews that his '54 "all orginal tele" was supposed to be for Keef but he bought it from his road manager before Keef could get his hands on it.

Am i the only one who is slightly alarmed when he say's he has a '51 P bass "somewhere over the back" in the op video?!

With all the news recently of cons regarding pictures of Xbox One's and PS4's nice to see something in the same vein but other way round. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Warwick-Rockbag-acoustic-bass-gigbag-and-Ill-chuck-in-the-bass-too-/331079336301?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4d15ddc16d

Done

Probably a bit late with this but Paul Reed Smith is doing a discussion today at 12-13:30 at PMT Manchester to coincide with his new guitar range.

Have to agree about Opposites think even the single disc edition could loose at least 2 tracks. Slightly off topic i hope i wont be disappointed by the new Pearl Jam album two new tracks sound fantastic.
