200 songs? I don`t think I would have taken my bass out from the gig bag! To learn that many songs and have them down so you don`t need any chords sheets on stage, you would need to be this guy.. [attachment=145339:250px-ObiWanHS-SWE.jpg] Using the old Jedi mind trick of course....

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1380751405' post='2230236'] what's the craic with the toneprint stuff? to me it seems like a good idea, but a bit gimmicky... but I dunno do folk would ever use it? like- why? surely somethingl ike a bass Pod would be more user friendly if you want all that stuff? [/quote] I use the SpectraComp on the toneprint and keep it on all the time. I`m not really an effect guy but I bought the amp for its weight and power and the toneprint is just a handy extra. If I was going to use the toneprint more, I would get a foot switch for it.

This is one of the reasons that Rhino fro the Quo plays a headless Status. One time he showed up with a P bass and Rossi told him to go back to the Status as he would more than likely hit someone with the Fender.

Just to say these are now gone!

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1380472206' post='2225772'] I used to love looking at laserdisc players in the 70s in the shops. Cost a fortune.window shopping only for me at the time. Never knew anyone that actually had one. I think a film was often split into two discs. They looked really cool. Have a nostalgic bump [/quote] The disc`s are double sided usually. My brother had the 3 star wars film in a really nice package that cost him £95!!! And he still thinks that the quality of Ld`S was better than dvd.

I`ve recently started moving my strap up, as I came to the conclusion that I feel more comfortable playing the bass in an almost sitting down position.

Yes folks. I have here some Laserdiscs to give to someone. They were out in the 90`s and weren`t really popular even then. DVD`s killed them off. So, if you are looking at this advert, you should know what they are. They are worth......bugger all. They belonged to my brother who had loads at one time and he was going to skip them but they are too nice, so, if anyone wants them you can collect or pay the postage for them. Alien, special collectors edition Close encounters, special edition Queen, live in Rio. It`s a long shot and I will keep them for 2 weeks then off to the skip they go. ****These are now gone to a new home****

The best and only Epiphone bass I would buy. I like the sounds you can get from them but find them the most uncomfortable basses to play standing up due to the shape. But that`s just me,.

Good basses the SR300. Nothing more to say really [size=4] [/size]

There wasn`t any "reliced" basses but there was a few "stripped" P basses. I believe that in the late 60`s early 70`s, this was the fashion, relicing is the fashion at the moment.

Nah, it just the paint job on the body. That P would be ideal. Now, off to your local motorcycle custom shop and get one of the painters to do the pinstripes for you and get your `Toon sticker!

Dingus is correct, it isn`t a slab bass, it is just painted on binding. I`m sure that someone on talkbass made one of these. Get a MIM white one with a maple neck and get a fancy paint job. And new pickgaurd, pickup, baddass... Steve`s is 74 P bass made of Western big leaf maple instead of alder which was in short supply at the time.

Steve. If you want it as cheap as possible but still half decent parts, as Bassbus says, try CH Guitars.

Just seen this. I know Wal`s are pricey but this is bloomin expensive! Having said that, I know almost sod all about them, so it may be worth it. Does the Foxton connection make it worth the price? He isn`t exactly know for playing Wal`s.

[quote name='TolerancEJ' timestamp='1380123617' post='2221187'] Yes, it's a fake. Those eBay ads have appeared a number of times. I forwarded them to Jens awhile back. He replied quickly that he was already aware the companies were producing fakes. If you've not already viewed it, there's a YouTube video from a recent NAMM show where Jens Ritter posed as a reporter and tried to ask questions of one of the fake-builders. He was quite classy. (I would not have reacted so reserved.) [/quote] A fake from the Govan area of Glasgow??? Never been known [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size]

It looks like the headstock is gloss finished? If so, is the neck board gloss as well? The old one I had was matt finished. Nice looking bass.

For £200 you should be able to pick up a s/h CV.

Cancel the flying monkeys!!! And for that matter, the dancing horses!! I`m not cleaning up after that lot! These are now on hold for Fionn.

Still here if anyone wants them.

I looked into this very thing a year or so ago. It was going to be about £70 for the routing and new pick gaurd plus the cost of the P pickup. Get a s/hand post 2009 MIM Jazz or a Classic Vibe and the whole thing would be in your budget. I think there is/was a MIM Tony Franklin Jazz (edit: it`s a Reggie Hamilton) with a P pickup in it but I haven`t seen many around. Or a Stuart Ham P which is a Jazz body with a P pickup. Add a Jazz pickup and your sorted.

I love that in the advert from Thomann, it says "Extremly light class D poweramp" and further on it says 33kg!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1379188281' post='2209710'] It's the old story. People like the [i]idea [/i]of being in a band. They like telling their friends and family that they are 'in a band'. But an awful lot of people just don't want to put in the necessary amount of hard work, perseverance and total commitment that is needed. It's hard to find a band of people who can play their instruments to a high standard, who are on the same wavelength stylistically and musically, who are talented and intelligent, want the same things out of the band and are prepared to put in the effort and time and make sacrifices over an extended period to make it work. It's like everything else - any idiot can do easy things, but anything worthwhile is always difficult. [/quote] I think this is the most sensible thing that you have ever said Discreet. Don`t let it happen again!! [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1378926458' post='2206676'] It's all from his fingers..... ....and the 2 flightcases full of rack equipment he has. Someone had a decent pic of it a couple of years ago and managed to identify almost everything in there but don't ask me where the thread is now. [/quote] Here`s a not very good pic of his rig.
