I got a nice b2a hohner with drop d courtesy (thanks @vmaxblues for the expedited shipping) Chose this myself as did I the small belt clip amp - has sad card, MP3 input and a small speaker for corridor practice on open mic nights

Nice Always wanted one but can't justify another bass

Depend on their age

I stored a tokai Strat in mine for years in a bin bag and it was absolutely fine

Thanks @blue (you're up late, mister)

[/quote] It didn't and wasn't intended to, my partner and female kids might object Just nice to get positive comments about tone (that you all get) when hearing my p bass really loud for first time (they heard it, I couldn't as in my naïveté I was right under the pa speaker)

Yes - great bass player but it's all a bit twee for my liking

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1450082111' post='2929302'] It's called Silly Love Songs and was written in response to others complaining he only wrote silly love songs. So, the irony was McCartney's own. [/quote] Ok fair enough - I didn't think he did irony but clearly I'm mistaken

heard the song containing words "[i]some people want to fill the world with silly love songs[/i]"** (ironic, given that he is a major culprit) and was very impressed by the bassline ** i have no idea what its actually called

body too large, but thanks anyway

With hindsight his work comes across as classic rather than dated, but I guess there was a time when it didn't seem that way to everyone. [/quote] That's what the book says

[quote name='bigsmokebass' timestamp='1449493144' post='2923949'] For me.... I'm even questioning if any part of it is Fender? Again, what would I know. [/quote] Id say it was a bitsa with a reliced neck

That gels with my experience

looks a bit heavily smoked to me, in the headstock pic that you post - on ebay the pickguard does not look original

oh they were fine - apart from that droning song about George Bush I just meant that I thought it would be mobbed and it wasnt. Zutons were surprisingly bad.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1449335317' post='2922724'] Yeah that's the one! [/quote] Spooky ! Surprised how poorly attended it was- we were on the pitch

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1448293209' post='2914196'] The Zutons, they were supporting REM who were absolutely brilliant [/quote] I think I was at a gig in that tour Notts forest ground
