Good call I might give it a try

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1433746374' post='2793469'] It always seems to be in the city WH Smiths when I don't want it, but never in the airport ones when I want one [/quote] Medium sized WHS have it and I even found it at Euro tunnel terminal

They're much of a muchness imho If you get on with what you have, stick with it

I was responding after http://basschat.co.uk/user/32123-dfl3tch3r/ who responded earlier? Mr "cynical didn't read the thread properly before being sarcastic"

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1343533216' post='1751788'] So its like shimming a neck but you don't have to take the neck off? [/quote] Yes - a bolt bears on a metal plate in the neck heel to push it out

You need to consider revoicing parts too- if you keep shifting up the board you run out of bassy notes eventually

[quote name='Son of the Wear' timestamp='1330801015' post='1563259'] Thanks for the positive comments, Geoff. In case anyone was wondering, they were bass magazines......... [/quote] He keeps the goat fetish ones under lock and key... smooth and easy transaction for a bass trainer, good communication. Would happily deal again.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1433113793' post='2788034'] Can't help you regarding the authenticity of your bass but plain old white spirit is fantastic at removing sticker goo. Fine on plastic. [/quote] Wd40 might be kinder

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1433079145' post='2787584'] I think the reason that Adam Clayton's many and varied signature basses are so widely ridiculed is that none of them are what could actually be described as his signature model i.e. synonymous with the player in the way that say a black P with mirrored pickguard would be associated with Phil Lynott. His basses are signature models only in the sense that his signature is printed on them. It seems to be a case of whenever he happens to get a new bass then the manufacturer - whoever that may be - puts his name on the headstock to shift a few extra units at a premium regardless of whether he will ever actually be seen playing live or in the studio with it. Right, I'm of to scribble my name onto my Fender Jazz that I bought a few months ago despite having played Warwicks exclusively for the previous 10 years [/quote] To be fair I've seen him play the last two live

Why have just one ? They're not expensive A fender strap (the fabric/leather ones that come OE) for each regardless of make, I don't change height that I play at so it doesn't matter that the brands differ Like seashell I just can't be bothered to swap them about

Nice red tort there

Victorwooten has had a few also, as has flea I suspect part of it is ego, it must be quite flattering I do think it's a touch overpriced though !

Every one I've had, especially recent ones, has been well made.

Welcome I believe basschat member faithless is also a Lithuanian ?

Nice Heading for extreme battered with fake grain filler applied after

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1332522547' post='1589625'] Love the tone on The Jackson 5 "I want you back" - the whole riff feels sooo perfect.. "I refuse" - Hue & Cry Stanley Clarke - "We supply" Virtually everything by Ozric Tentacles What Mick Karn did everytime he picked up a bass [/quote] Telecaster bass in the first case, Wilton felder I really like the late rutger gunnarson's tone

Chain and seven nation army perchance ?

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1432793673' post='2784967'] Nope. When I learned it, it was played up the dusty end starting on the 17th so it's easy to play the one open A at the end of the 1st bar & the open E at the end of the 3rd. [/quote] Ok was basing this on concert footage where he uses a and d but its up to you really

A and D strings surely ?

No pleasing some people

Interested in hearing from those with fender basses where the paint flaked off on the sides (leaving paint on front and back mainly) Eg https://www.dropbox.com/s/z2ef44s9634dmai/photo%2007-11-2014%2022%2051%2029.jpg?dl=0 Question - are there any areas where it hasn't flaked off the edges ?

I would play it, my daughter would love it, but the pish taking here at Chateau Geek would be immense

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1432758129' post='2784751'] I'm going to rip my Ray5 apart and stick in EMGs. It's a wonderful playing bass but it needs to sound different. I may even rout it for a neck single coil too. I may or may not tell the EBMM forum afterwards! [/quote] Definitely hell-bound
