  1. [quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1509371514' post='3398373'] My longest-serving/suffering bass is a Precision copy that I bought as a kit from Brandoni about 16 years ago: http://www.brandoniguitars.co.uk/ They shipped the kits as bare wood - if you're prepared to hunt down a can of nitro in Daphne Blue then spraying the body yourself could always be an option! [/quote] They don’t list the necks anymore sadly but do list the kits What did you get in the kit and what did you need to replace ?
  2. I’ve had exactly that one and it was great. You can get them cheaper than that though
  3. I agree, solid two piece body probably alder
  4. There you go, collective basschat wisdom worked again Just add pictures and stand back
  5. [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1507667811' post='3387178'] Booked for carpal tunnel on my right wrist on 24th October......gig booked on 10th November!!!! It may be a little tight, anyone have any experience of recovery post surgery? [/quote] Yes, I had it. I was fine a week later Same thing, keyhole in wrist, four stitches Took about twenty minutes and worked fabulously Had a great conversation with the scouser anaesthetist about the battles of Stamford bridge and Maldon
  6. showing the entire body from several angles would be helpful as there can be small variations in shape, routings, contours that will rng bells with people.
  7. I think it’s down to the twin streams of bass playing. The vic Wooten / Jaco school Of flashiness leaves me cold, I’m afraid. The former quorum serve the song whatever their own private level of virtuosity, it’s just not needed. If you listen to “Love comes tumbling” there is a degree of talent there not normally seen in u2 so I wouldn’t say that AC, Mike Anthony etc can’t step up just because they normally don’t record it.
  8. We moved on the 9thand are still Unpacking Mostly to do with mr vendor messing up the carpets totally and not mentioning that quite a lot of appliances, floors and and features were broken
  9. [quote name='prowla' timestamp='1508866483' post='3395000'] On a more genuine bass thing, I recently found a tub of old bass strings, including some which Gordon Rowley (of Strife) gave me after a gig at Forest Town in Mansfield in the 70s. [/quote] So sweat and skin on them, matured in a tub for 40 years .., that must smell lovely
  10. No, never Bass, with long graceful neck, floor shaking voice and head turning capability plus habit of getting people to dance is just too awesome. The only thing that I’d have as a second horse to ride, is piano - I quite fancy being able to play piano simply as they much more easy to find around and about
  11. I bought a bass off Leigh Gordon of morcheeba. It had the most sky high Jamerson action I’ve ever seen - eight full turns over time to take it
  12. Brandoni might have the original parts - ask them is my advice
  13. Are they eu standard bananas ? What if they don’t have enough relief to align with the neck ? Fitting the banana with a truss rod could work - twin rods shared with the neck perhaps a la Rick ?
  14. iPhone and irig?
  15. Sliced or whole ? It could be a 1.5 mm slice and thus quite low
  16. [quote name='aj5string' timestamp='1508162419' post='3390149'] Not sure of the weight off hadn, but I could weigh it if wanted... it didnt build up into a heavy bass. According to the Fender website, the body of the VM Squiers is Soft Maple? [/quote] I think that’s only the natural finish ones
  17. Try brandoni guitars in Wembley
  18. Just trying to tempt people for you
  19. Should he only 2.95 max as a Small Parcel
  20. Perhaps a post was deleted by Dad3353
  21. I bought two last time, still working perfectly on original batteries No complaints at all from me
  22. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1505589939' post='3373079'] You're right - it's probably because of my sex farm holiday website. Bloody puritans. [/quote] You were living on a sex farm, in spinal tap style ?
  23. I haven’t changed mine since the day he built it. It’s totally awesome
