There is a squier VM p special that does all that . They come up all the time on eBay and having had one I have to say they are excellent. Why butcher a perfectly good cv p ?

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395084671' post='2398518'] You need one of these [/quote] No, I need two of those

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1394817924' post='2395623'] To be fair, in Wakefield most people think going to Leeds for the day is a foreign holiday . [/quote] As Harry Enfields character says "I know all about culture, love, I've been to Leeds!"

Best learn to play "duelling banjos" like in Deliverance

PMT in Manchester were very good. AND they posted my daughter's George Pig back to us for free. She was very grateful

Get a banjo if you're going for the rocking chair look .. And some friends with poor teeth and dress sense

Empty your hallway close all doors off hallway Have someone else in house with you Make it obvious to caller that you're not alone by talking to that person when caller arrives They're probably just as nervous going to a strange house especially if female

Line 6 backtrack ?

Yes i keep trying jazz basses but always end up reaching for my bass doc precision

Things are a bit depressed for sure - I rarely ask more than I paid unless I've added some value. I can't see why sellers would be upset by a lowball offer, it doesn't take long to PM a polite version of "get stuffed" if the offer doesn't appeal

Fretting work and weedy pickups are the common bugbears I thought

I tried it briefly but didnt like the neck on the fiver I chose (Ibanez SRX505) as it had wide spacing and it all became a bit of a chore.Tone, tension etc were fine. I might try it again one day but I'll be a lot more choosy about exactly which bass I try it with.

I think an earlier poster said it all, youve outgrown it when you realise that it has limitations, [b]and[/b] that they are limiting [b]you[/b]. If you havent noticed yet, then you dont [i]need [/i]anything better (although you might [i]want [/i]it) My P bass is the best thing since sliced bread in my book, and I cannot find a single flaw on it. Doesnt mean there arent any, just that they dont limit me if there are any there.

Good trade with no issues at all

Cheers mr, you were fine to deal with and I'm glad you're happy

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1394300258' post='2390086'] So nobody listened to Mud, Bay City Rollers or David Cassidy... [/quote] Not me -before my time. Mother liked abba but we didn't have a stereo, just a radio that I couldn't reach and it was always stuck on radio 4. I grew up in a remote part of the middle of nowhere Eventually I saved up some money and bought a small portable radio and listened to talking heads, U2, simple minds and Duran Duran. Watching live aid in 1985 was formative though as watching Bono go off into the crowd made me realise music wasn't set in stone once recorded (I had only ever heard it on the radio remember) and could be adapted on the hoof.

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1394446357' post='2391299'] Completely well is now pumping out courtesy of spotify. Geek99 is this the book? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Famous-Blues-Bass-Lines-QWIKGUIDE/dp/0786648325/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394446319&sr=8-1&keywords=famous+blues+bass [/quote] Yep - that's the one I found it quite inspiring and not a bank breaker either. Also recommend Jon liebmans book and the Ed friedland one

Amazon do a Mel bay "famous blues bass" book and cd which really helped me
