Well since going Mark-bass which my car's boot and back love me for , my hidden behind the living room door rig is , Trace Elliot SMC 715 GP7 plus a 15inch Trace Elliot 1153T >.< probably need to do something about this thing.

I was lusting after one of these VERY hard , can you describe the neck for me , how does it compare to say a standard Jazz I tend to use a 38 mm 70's profile fender type jazz he describes these as 40mm , i worry because I dont get on with the 42mm P type necks ... Plus are you planning on swapping the knobs to standard J ones ?

Im gonna leave this here , looks possibly the same bass but no red pot . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB5IHynNVfo

I think it all depends on your memory , while i'm sure 99% of those stand users don't look at the stands too often unless they are Deps' or new to playing , I think these are there more as comfort blankets, for quick reference. theres nothing wrong with it but if people want to ween off the music stand there are other options ... I for example scribble on my set list which effects / tone settings i'm using for each cover in my short hand a song like town called malice is TsBdiN0B10T , for those who don't speak the voices in my head translates To Tubescreamer on Sans-amp on , Neck pickup off Bridge at 10 tone at 10 - there's nothing enjoyably about faffing around between between songs Another thing our guitarist feels he doesn't know a song quite as well as he'd like to ( crappy memory ) he capo's one of those little revision cards just to remind him of what chord / key or what fret he's capoing out.

I think the problem is more likely to be because while there is obviously very passionate fans , I don't imagine too many of them are at the dog and duck on friday night , you might find some do play more established places like the half moon in putney , but probably fall into the " tribute band arena "

I've been Very happy with all the " higher end Mexican stuff , the artist stuff the or the dated 60's 70's " They seem to really be giving Mexican's the Vintage modified treatment , i have every confidence these are gonna be cracking and i'm looking forward to the results . In other news Karl i mentioned to she who could not be named ... about the status and she said its FINE but only on condition that I traded it for something i really really wanted.... not just something that i already have ..... Reminds me why i love this girl :-D But i means NO Jazzes

This thread has caused me look up the price of separate insurance for my instruments unattended in the car . I'm guilty of leaving a fully loaded car in the overflow carpark at work for the whole day before rehearsal. this is unfortunately shared with a station :-S and outside the pub when we have a cheeky half post rehearsal. Nothing is ever on ever View i have a saloon and a bass plus amp fit securely in the boot, ( no access from the passenger compartment ) Insurance for two basses @ around 700 each plus my mark-bass eemed a very reasonable 3.60 a month , or 39 for the year .... Seemed pretty reasonable to me. This was Allianz Instrument Insurance .

I'm also a big fan of [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Jamareo Artis bruno's bass player , talented guy i think he's part of the writing process on a lot of these things and Bruno is one of those annoying talented multi instrumentalist guys , his dad's a professional percussionist and he's a pretty tidy drummer and guitar player himself.

I suggest a pint / bass takeover of the Swan at some point , I was in chandlers Saturday dropping off a very broken Les paul for a work colleague ( headstock totally sheared off) I like the changes they have made by removing all the hanging guitars from the ceiling and floors making it much more open and usable . Very nice 70's mustang on the wall but Still no flats though .>.<

I was about to say , just within striking distance of chandlers then " perhaps you can join me in my campaign to try and get them to stock more than just Rotosound swing 66's the last time i tried to get flats there i had to take a set that had been " traded" packaging was about 10-15 years old ... I get that they like " vintage" but damn .

B1on doesnt have a XLR DI out does it ? I use mine with a b3 as a volume / tone shaping pedal , stomp on for when we do a Jam track to give me that big up in front middy in the mix with a little distortion. saves a whole load of faffing to have 3-4 tones on tap.

Hello , from just up the road in Kingston. lyle

I have a modern tele bass from Status , Mines active which allows you to shape away some of that mud and give you much more usability Propper looker she is too ;-) [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/synthaside/media/IMG_01803_zpseqcjqngc.jpg.html"][/url] bear in mind be careful some of the modern player Telebass'es were 32 " rather than 34" Scale

they do a non short scale SG bass , in both epiphone and gibson flavours Look for an Eb3 ;-)

It makes me want to take a can of seafoam green to my epi tbird , shame its too nice an instrument to suffer at my unskilled paws. Perhaps an ebay special karl , ive seen them go a low as £99 , i spy a doner right now in a facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090051102626/permalink/1167506796594280/?sale_post_id=1167506796594280

What about an audio interface for getting your bass into your PC ? and using virtual amps and such on your Pc / mobile device for home recording / practice use [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Line-Sonic-Port-Audio-Interface/dp/B00CS4L7DK/ref=sr_1_14?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1464191519&sr=1-14c"]https://www.amazon.c...191519&sr=1-14c[/url] or this for more pc inclined https://www.amazon.co.uk/PreSonus-Audiobox-iOne-Presonus-Interface/dp/B00KBMAJU8/ref=sr_1_12?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1464192091&sr=1-12 pretty much exactly at your price level.

You've misspelled hell there rob , there's no U in it .

Just the right age , were both 30 and our singers 25 , A female fronted covers band , playing the local area and about as far out as Egham , We rehearse out of a studios in Ashford which is 3 stops away from Twickenham, they Do kit hire if he hasn't got access to his own , We have gigs in the pipeline which were now worried we cant honour ` but will probably end up being delayed ' Ask if he's interested in a chat and fire me a pm we could arrange a beverage or call. Lyle

How old is he , we just lost our drummer today :'(

Fair few of us in Kingston / Twickenham Really aught to organise a drink up . I'm born and bred in Twickenham ( Isleworth really, the nasty bit near the sewage works ;-) I've moved to Kingston now. Its a pretty good place for live music , the eel Pie / patch provide the bulk of it , its a well known quiet-ish overflow area of Richmond Very popular with early 30 something's who want to be near London but not "in London" . I think it depends on your age when I was 18 it was a bit too quiet, I headed into to Camden for my night-life , Kingston is 15 mins on the bus If your looking for nightclubs / bars after for 12 you will need to go to Kingston or into London "proper" about 15 mins on the train. If your just turning 30 and a bit over the club scene, So looking for great pubs , bars and live music its pretty good. Sadly Twickenham lost is only music shop a few years back , so once again new strings its a trip to Kingston . I keep meaning to try the jam night in [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The Oak , but last time i was in there the beer selection was Carling or Stella and the live band was playing brass in pocket slightly off key , Far too loud for the 6 or 7 folk in there so I walked on to the boaters .

Lets hope its a stonker when you have finished doing it up , did you manage to test the electronics ?

I've recently got my status back from Rob who was fixing a problem with the active circuit , he was able to tell me exactly what my bass was born to use, Those happen to be status hot wire Half wounds in 45-105. May I suggest a quick call to status with your serial number might allow you to quickly order a set .
