I don't use an amp - I just use Jamup on my iPhone so it's totally silent plus you can play along with music and record the results. It also has a metronome and a tuner

Yes - should be instant

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1415194000' post='2597680'] I'd leave it as it is, i like to browse and see whats about, its also nice to see some oddities, and things we havent seen for years, and it doesnt take long. If you browse every 3 days, theres normally only two pages to scroll, which can take about 45 seconds, no biggy. Having said that, a price box in the title would be great, so if you see a 1969 Fender Precision (For example),a nd the price is £8000, you can keep scrolling, but if its more in line with something that may interest you, you can open it up. This would certainly make browsing more efficient, which, reading others' comments, would be a welcome addition. You already have to enter a figure anyway to proceed when selling, so the users work is already done? Other than that, I think £20 a year, is a bargain, whether you buy/sell or just use the forum, its a small price to pay (IMHO), to keep this thing on the road. [/quote] Indeed , to all points except that the price should be up to date, and the price that you HAVE to enter cannot be changed

I bought a little foldup porter trolley from Costco for peanuts

Indeed - of course they should, but some new folks won't know he had a long bout of illness. He should, if he can, post something here and defend his position. In my humble opinion of course.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1415146353' post='2597304'] I've had nothing but greatness from Uncle Horrid, great comms and great work. Unerringly helpful too. But I've only had custom designed pickguards from him, not a whole bass or big work. I just hope he's ok and in good health. [/quote] I've had both and he was awesome

it was my understanding that he was having respiratory issues and working with basses and accessories was not helpful to that. Several times in 2013 my build was delayed to ill health and his advice that this was so, did coincide with him going very quiet on the forum. He still delivered pretty much as promised, without even taking that ill-health into account so he always seemed pretty honourable to me. He must be really quite unwell.

I for one am sorry to see him leave here, he was awesomely good at his job and I love the P he built for me above any other bass I've owned

Maybe an up to date asking price in the title should be a requirement - then people can easily filter out bands they aren't intersted in. Can't see what subdivision will achieve

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1414930352' post='2594723'] Ive got 2 fender P basses, whats the point in that ? [/quote] Two ponies doing the same one trick ?

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1414952712' post='2595003'] In summary:[list] [*]Some of us will buy signature basses but only if we like the actual bass, the signature itself is immaterial [*]We all like Dee Dee Ramone [*]None of us like Adam Clayton [/list] I agree with all of the above. [/quote] In order Wouldn't even think of it - it's just silly Sorry - have never heard any Ramones He's not popular around here, but he did make me want to take up bass so he's not all bad, and the sunburst 70s p in total relic is an iconic image so maybe that should be the sig model with some tweaks ? I did read an interview where he expressed fondness for that bass above all others. Equally, he did to be fair, play the green jazz on Live Aid in front of 18 squillion people and in the New Years Day video, so its probably not a bad choice for a sig

Took me about five minutes (I'm seriously below par on ability) and I was able to swap easily Even my then three year old was able to play fanned frets

Surely that was an actual Jazz bass neck, not an A type Jazz width neck ?

I have a millennium ac BXP active that I'm thinking of listing if you want another. Like the colour on yours

My local store also. Looks quite good in the flesh albeit overpriced - I told them that btw

Welcome Bill

I quite enjoyed it, even though I disliked the album I do think Adam was playing a sherwood green jazz in second song so maybe it was the sig model

They did notice as guitard suggested we stop sooner than we needed to, although I was in a sense glad that he did. Looking back at video footage, I don't think it helped that the guitard suddenly starting scat singing and joking with the crowd. I (unforgivably) got a bit lost in the twelve bar at that moment. I'd forgotten that he even did that. The crowd were nice but I felt terrible, not least for letting guitard down as he gave me a shot despite being a new face. First few turns of the twelve bar were actually ok - I am even pleased with the sound out of my fake stingray and the house ampeg combo. Might try an acoustic twelve string number solo next time but I'm not sure if I can sing. I shall have to ty it. In the runthru I showed him my chord transition runs and variations and turnaround and he seemed to quite like them, so quite pleased about that.

Blanking out totally in a twelve bar

Run through beforehand went well but lost it totally on stage. Total blank, partly my fault as I didn't get enough practice time.

It's just me, and acoustic guitard and s guy with a tea chest drum box (a dub ?) so quite naked. I'm confident about the blues jam- less so about elvis song. Hopefully get to run that through beforehand at least once
