  1. Pretty! Sadly up to bass quota though so free bump
  2. Wasn't my cup of tea (I was 14) but I liked it lyrically and vocally Maggie o Neill was very hot indeed too
  3. I'll get a photo next time I'm there
  4. They are 16.99 now Did you need to adjust relief?
  5. Is there a cheapie line ? Seen a pointy headstock six string in black / rosewood at my local crack converters which needs some tlc Any tips
  6. Don't forget about the photo upload and posting function
  7. I play so rarely in public that it [i]always[/i] feels like the first time This next time at open mic night I'm choosing "groove is in the heart" for my soundcheck (they never get bass players and I'm never there at kickoff due to kids so it takes a while) followeda country blues riff segueing into a boogie woogie 12 bar thing (I made both up so no idea if they'll sound ok) - local guitar teacher offered to accompany me
  8. [quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1443250000' post='2873353'] It's certainly red rather than brown, but not startlingly so. Unmarked for brand, came as part of a trade deal. Large pot apertures as per CTS pots. Cyberbass, pm incoming. [/quote] Ok care to pm me sone payment details ?
  9. [quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1443163539' post='2872673'] You can't have Amy Adams - I was in the queue first!!! [/quote] There are several fitting that description and you were non specific, so I'm afraid you're not
  10. That is why I went custom build rather than mim or mij
  11. I've got one for sale that's not a million miles away (not a fender part btw)
  12. [quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1442993837' post='2871143'] Bursting with excitement - and sad as I am, I have to share it! I've ordered a 'bespoke' bass. You might not agreed, but to my tired eyes the combo of a Sunburst body P-Bass with tortoiseshell pick guard and maple neck has always struck me as a lovely colour combo...a bit like a redhead with pale skin (insert name of favourite Hollywood lust object here)...highly subjective I know and at least two of my mates hate it! Can you get this in the shops? Nah...unless you count the vastly overpriced Fender American Deluxe. But thanks to a very helpful man who's initials are BM I will soon be receiving a superb Korean-made bass built to my specs in that combo, complete with Babicz bridge, Flatwounds and Bare Knuckle '58 split-P pickup. To give you an idea of the vibe going on here I attach a photo of Colin Wilson (www.aussiefloyd.com). Oh, and I haven't said how much this is costing me...lets put it this way, I could have three of these for the price of the Fender. When its finished I'll post a pic and let you know how it plays! What are your thoughts on having a bass built for you to your very own requirement? And what would you be prepared to pay? Phil [/quote] Exactly that combo is what I ordered from the bass doc and it was perfect in every way. It had jap parts. I'd like to have added Amy Adams (red head actress) as an accessory to my order but sadly she is not available
  13. Could I see a closeup of the pick wear below the G and also the forearm contour ? Assuming it's painted in polyester acrylic rather than nitro ?
  14. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1442868363' post='2870180'] Totally love the wear on the body and if I had the money I would buy it in a heartbeat [/quote] Can I ask how those two scrapes below the G string happen?
  15. Totally love the wear on the body and if I had the money I would buy it in a heartbeat
  16. That, as father jack would say, would be an ecumenical matter. I'd suggest he is being presumtuous at best
  17. Mostly my beaten-up precision with flats Occasionally a stingray and an acoustic 4 to bang out ideas with people
