I wish it would disappear

They remind me of something Fender-ish

Yep, that would explain it.

Moniker bass, but their website seems to be utter shyte

Yeah i guess most of us only hear about him being an awkward diva, but being nice at any time doesn't get in the tabloids.

I'm from Essex ! Did you hear that ?

No need to confirm - it worked ! Thanks peeps. Very quick response

Ooooh lovely - thanks chappies Just to confirm, swap over R1 with Y2 ??

Leccy wizards , i have a problem. On this passive bass, it's just a tone, vol, and blend. But the blend works backwards, at least for my tastes. When rotating the blend towards the neck pup ( clockwise ) i get the bridge pup, and vice versa for the neck pup ( anti-clockwise ) I need to reverse this action, but there's too many wires on the blend to make it obvious for me which one's i need to change over. I took a photo of the back of the blend pot, though i find these harder to de-cypher, so i have also cobbled a pencil diag. together so it's easier to see everything. Y = yellow ( there's 3 in all ) B = black ( 2 of ) R = Red ( 1 of ) V = Vol T = Tone PS - B1 and Y3 cross over diagonally but are not joined together

SIT Silencers

I'd say not too bad. For a start, he has to measure up and make a one off template. If the whole job took half a day, assuming the body he was working with wasn't some awful ply based rubbish, then 4 hours work at £25 an hour is fine.

I wonder if he knows our guitarist ? His name is Keith Skerrett

Our gittard did some work for Jamiraquai out in Buckinghamshire at JK's mansion ( my pal is ex Solid State Logic whizz kid ) and when he arrived there, he met the whole band and they were mostly a real friendly bunch, including SZ, but not including JK. Apparently, he was a miserable dyck head, wasn't having a laugh with the band but wandering around outside, surveying his kingdom and counting his money in his head. He then kicked off over one of the band, or someone else maybe, about crumbs in the honey jar. Cocky twart

Our drummist is a real groove monster and tighter than a nun's chuff. Very easy to play with if you like to groove a smidge

Just scored some used condoms. One careful owner. Extra large. *cough*

One of the ultimate P bass tones from John Wetton ( RIP ) through HiWatt guitar amps, so he said. Live, , well back in the early 70's anyways, 2 x 100 watt heads Get under your headphones. This is awesome

Agreed. Only other musicians ( and mainly bass players ) would even care.

Mine's for sale if he's interested

Sounds like you suffered a blank premmie. Your missus will explain.

I agree that kit looks way over the top, and he didn't play anything like such a monstrosity when he was with Dale Bozzio and Missing Persons. I seem to recall though, that he had a fair old kit during the Zappa years

Most genuine Ovations have a headstock logo , and that one above has nothing, so i'm tending to go with non branded copy. Maybe

I love Bozio. He's part fruitcake.

Just found the Imbuya Burl bass on Chris's website. I can't help staring at this bass. It's a dream http://www.chrislarkinguitars.com/instruments-gallery/electric-bass-guitars/imbuya-5.html
