The second version of the Highway had the baddass bridge with pre cut groves in the saddles. Nitro finish, US made, late 60`s/early 70`s style P bass logo and the same style of tuners as the Mexican standard. Good value basses. Much better value than the American Specials that replaced them and a fair bit cheaper too.

Nice looking top. It is bloomin amazing what you can get these days for not a whole lotta cash.

Looks nice and comfy.

My singer uses a Nexus 7 thing and has a special mount that fixes onto a mic stand. He uses it for the words, set list and says he will have a way of controlling the pa with it in the near future.

Here is a link to most of the songs. They don`t have any bass tab but the chords are there. Just have a listen and make something up that sounds about right. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/search.php?search_type=title&value=grease+soundtrack

SR300 or RBX374. Both really good basses. Crap re sale value though but if that`s not an issue, dinky doo!

10 pints of lager in one sitting?

I`ve went form a peak of 9 to 3 and would like to get down to 2 ideally. But I can never make up my mind what bass is my favourite to play.

Something to note is if you go for strung thru, you may need longer strings. Or mabye not.

This topic will not help my short scale/Mustang GAS

A US jazz just went for £475 on here within the last week. Keep your eyes open as there are some bargains to be had.

Have a looky at the Support Basschat tab at the top of the page. All the info is there.

[quote name='swanbrook' timestamp='1363259727' post='2010525'] Why did he leave maiden, never really knew that for sure [/quote] I`m not certain but I think he was partaking too much of something and was, in his own words, "asked to leave."

I`m with you Conan on this sad passing. I was surprised how sad I felt last night when I read this. I never really got into Maiden until Piece of mind that had Nicko in the line up and only listened to the first few albums later. Great drummer and came across as a nice guy in the few interviews I have watched with him in. I know he was still well loved by the Iron Maiden family and can`t imagine how bad it is for them.

RIP Clive.

Donny. Some info from one of the guys on the SQ forum. [size=4]was interested to read that this particular mustang (he got another sunburst one around '74 i think), was his original one. it was originally white w/tortie scratchplate (seen in 'doing their thing'), then stripped back to natural with a metal/mirrored scratchplate ('paper plane' at the marquee in '72), then it was a dark purply colour (not black) in various videos in the late 70s. more recently, it had its pickup changed a couple of times and of course, it's now being used in the reunion[/size] [size=2][size=4]Agree with you re the size of me compared to the Mustang[/size]. [/size]

Regarding the Rush clip, what you have to remember is as it`s live, Ged is playing bass, singing and possibly triggering keyboard effects via footswitches at the same time. Wish I was that sloppy

Can somebody pm with the big secret? It`s like a on line Tales of the unexpected!

[quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1362561724' post='2001205'] Sorry the Avenger has gone but I do have a green Morris Marina estate incoming - needs a little tlc but am assured it's a good runner - and it's recommended that the driver should be as well. [/quote] I`ll take it!! Just contact me Mr F Flintstone [size=2]It ok Iv`e got me coat...[/size]

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1362559643' post='2001178'] Drives like butter [/quote] Funnily enough that`s what the floor of an Avenger was made of. True

Dave Pegg uses a SR505, so one of those might be a good start and the second hand price for Ibanez are generally low, so keep your eyes open for a bargain.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1362852640' post='2005405'] Well-known fact: people said they monkeyed around, but this wasn't in fact the case. [/quote] And what proof do you have of this fact? I heard that they [i]did[/i] in fact, monkey around.......

Larry "the mole" Taylor did indeed play on those tracks and the guys in Canned Heat gave him dogs abuse for it on ocassions to wind him up. He is the guy playing with the Heat on the Woodstock dvd,
