I just listened to your link om Kid and was surprised to hear how Johnny Marr might have picked stuff up from him in the solo. I had not made the connection before. Of course, I could be wrong. I also lpve his playing im "Private Life" of the same album. In fact the whole album stands the test of time superbly. I would post a link to it but I am om my phone so cannot. If you like gritty and tasty then check out the first Pretenders album.

Not to hijack the thread, but I would like to broaden the question. I have a bass with dual J pickups. In 35 years of playing I have not used either pickup individually so it makes sense for me to go for one volume and be done with it. However in the back of my mind I recall that jazz pickups like to be loaded individually by individual pots. If they are loaded differently they still work but sound different. Am I talking garbage here? It would not be the first time.

Ritter Princess Isabella tailpiece for inspiration.

I know he is moving. He told me that he was not taking new work on until.he had moved. He makes a lovely bass.

Been there, done that. They are very nice. I bought it with money left over from my 2nd year university grant. Sorry kids.

Obviously the case will have an inset cut to shape and then lined in Leopard print fur.

It's gone

Just fabulous. No, really.

[quote name='eddiehoffmann' timestamp='1489166843' post='3254937'] Sold an amp to Ross in the smoothest of transactions. True gent! Deal with confidence. Thanks Ross! [/quote] Your transaction might have been smooth but I am certain that mine was the smoothest!

1 bid now! An hour to go. Not my bid. If it had a RW board I would be struggling to not bid.

You know what, I could do with a flightcase. What are the internal measurements? As in would it take a Jazz bass? IIRC putting an empty flightcaes onto Hermes is about £10.

I am glad to see that they are leaving room for even better Alien bassists. They are cleverly keeping their options open. "A five-time [b]Grammy Award[/b] winner and widely recognized as the greatest living bass player in the world"

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1497468556' post='3318504'] Would be a shame to throw it away - I'm sure somebody must want it. What if they arranged their own courier? Would you put it in a heavy duty bin bag? [/quote] It's a flight case. It does not need a bin bag. It just needs an address label.
