    [quote name='EssentialTension' post='560639' date='Aug 4 2009, 09:20 PM']Didn't Chas play bass at one time too - in Heads Hands and Feet with Albert Lee?[/quote] Yep, he`s on one of the Whistle Test dvd`s doing "warming up the band" playing a P bass. He was also one of the first electric bass players to become well know in the 60`s, playing in the Outlaws along with Ritchie Blackmore where he played a Framus something. Jez

    Fender Classic 60`s Jazz for sale. Made in Mexico this is the lightest Jazz I have owned. It is in as new condition apart from a small piece of paint that is missing from the rout for the bridge pickup. It is on the edge and is barley visable and I didn`t notice when I bought it but had better mention it. It has a badass fitted and I will include the original vintage style one. It has a new set of stadium elites fitted. The neck on it is lovely with a sort of vintage tint. It is a great sounding bass and the only reason for moving it on is that I am playing Ibanez`s (cheers Barry!) and this one aint getting used any more. Up for sale for £350. Please note this is collection only or I will travel up to 100 miles to meet someone. Cheers! Forgot to say I am in Paisley just outside of Glasgow.

    Aye MrJim, you made a good job of it. Did it perform ok on sat? Spoke to my mate who changed the pickup and he suggests that you check the wiring at some point as his soldering aint the best! Jez

    Can anyone recomend a decent set of speakers stands for our peavey`s as they are looking dodgy on top of our £35 stands from Maplins and where is the best place to get em. Cheers, Jez

    I think his name is Jammy Bas**rd, or something similar.

    Merchant city in Glasgow have one and by god it`s well sparkly!! I think that it`s not that bad a price when you consider that a lot of the Jap P`s are as good if not better build quality than their Us counterparts. And you get the SD and Badass. Jez

    Bump for the G&L. Why hasn`t someone bought this yet? These are fantastic basses, I`ve had 2 four stringers and they do the lot and are built like a brick sh**house. Why did I sell mine, cause I`m a numpty!! Jez

    BB I wish you had told me the other night that you were gonna put it back up Bob. I bought a Ibanez sr700 last night from guitarguitar and I would have taken this beauty off yer hands! Are you using the Squire to replace this one? Aye, you know quality when you see it. Heh, heh. BUMMER! Jez

    [attachment=29416:DSC00130.JPG]Right ladies and gents. What we have here is another one of my fads. A wee story as well. Whilst perusing a upmarket hi fi shop in Glasgow, I got talking to the guy about Linn Sondeck turntables, As I used to be into hi fi years ago I was asking him how much they go for now. As they are the Ferrari of the turntable world I knew it would be a few bob. He mentioned 14 and 16. I realised that he was talking about 14 thousand!!!!! The guy has speakers at £35,000 for flucks sake!! So I ended up buying a ex demo turntable off him, a Pro Ject Debut 3, for a bit less that the above and went and spent £40 on secondhand vinyl. Set it up at home thinking, groovy, just like the old days, so I got out my tin and skined up....Naw only kidding. I lost intrest in 2 days and now need shot of it. It is almost new condition, has an ortrafon cartridge and plays 45`s and Lp`s. If you come round you can hear it playing Dark side and it`s true, it does sound better on vinyl. The same turntable will cost £190 in Richer Sounds so a bargin is too be had. Pm me if intrested. Jez [attachment=29415:DSC00133.JPG] [attachment=29416:DSC00130.JPG]

    [quote name='thepurpleblob' post='547323' date='Jul 22 2009, 09:22 AM']We can't play them. We had a go at Sex on Fire and it was a disaster. Then it got worse every time we played it. When you can't even get the introduction right you know you're in big trouble.[/quote] Blob dude. We had the same problem as our drummer can`t keep time to save his life. Get the drums to start first and then when he has got himself sorted bring in the bass and guitar. Viola!! It goes doon a treat. Better still, Use somebody, the drumming doesn`t go in time with anything else so nobody noticws you are all over the place. Of course, the drummer might not be the problem. Jez

    I would be wary. Jap Fenders are great but dont get like me and think that everything that`s made in Japan is gonna be good. About 2 years ago I paid £117 for a Joodee P type bass and was well chuffed until I got it and it sounded like sh*t! Put it into the local luthier and he had never heard of the make and couldn`t get it to sound any better unless I spent a few bob on it. And it had the cheek to say "for profesional use" on the headstock. Wibble wibble Jez

    Do the gig Pete. We play in local boozers and on one sunday evening there was 4 bar staff, 4 in the band and 3 punters! It is what we call a tumbleweed gig as at the end of each song that`s what blows across in front of you. Put on a good show for the people that turn up. By the way, were you in bass mag a few months ago? Jez

    Totally the right thing to do. I have left bands/getting bands together sitiuations due to similar experiances. This aint my living, it`s a hobby I do cause I enjoy doing it. When it becomes too much grief, I walk away. It has taken a while but the guys I play with now all get along great and although we aint the best bunch of musicians, we enjoy it and people seem to like us. (No accounting for taste!!). Jez

    Bought on a whim for £200 a couple of weeks ago but quickly realised it aint for me. This is the second one I have bought, you would think I would have learned my lesson by noo! Fitted with a set of rotosounds, will give you original epi strings. The bass hasn`t been out the house and is in brand new condition. I have fitted an additional starp button on back of bass. Will throw in an extra long Levy strap so you can play it down at your knees Pete Way style! Collect only from Paisley. £120 Jez [attachment=29250:DSC00114.JPG] [attachment=29251:DSC00115.JPG]

    Dont get too excited!!! Epip EBO much modified (not by me, honest!). I got it from a guy I know and was intending to fix it up but cant be ars*d. It works but will need some work done to it to make it usable as it goes out of tune rapid and is a bit rough in the finishing department. I was gonna sell it on gumtree for £35 but am far too embarssed! It would make a good project for someone. You would have to collect it from Paisley and if you feel like giving a small donation to the web site that would be cool. Jez [attachment=29248:DSC00112.JPG] [attachment=29249:DSC00108.JPG]

    Bought a book second hand the other day, The Fender Bass-An illustrated history by Hal/Leonard. Great book, tells you about all the Fender basses. It stops at 2001 but as I said got it second hand so possibly there has been an updated version. Really good book with plenty of great pics. GiveS you a bad case of GAS. Jez

    Don`t know how much it`s worth but I have only heard good things about peavey basses. I`d buy it on looks alone! Well tasty!!! Jez

    I have a muck around with various tunes and throw some "shapes". But what gets right up my ti*s is no matter what time you go into the guitar shop there is always a group of 13 year olds playing an Ibanez or similar pointy thing, murdering some trivium or metalica. They play for 2 mins (all they can play for) and then their mates talk about how awsome the playing/guitar was. And just when you think that it`s over, they give it to another one of their mates!! Yes I am a grumpy old bas*ard!! Jez
