Chewie

Thank The Lord!!!!!!!!!

On top of that, I got a new flat mate in the late 80's and he was like "You're alright Chewie, but you need to get into this....." and he dropped me a couple of Budgie albums. Bandolier & In For The Kill......... Man, that was a seminal moment. Burke Shelley's voice and his P-bass........ Life changer......

I was mad into Talking Heads..... still am now......... the movie of Stop Making Sense was the first production which made me cry with joy. I didn't know what was going on........!! It still gets me on my feet now. I know it's not a seminal bass album but It changed my life. Corny but true.

Totally agree with Penthouse and Pavement............

Definitely BSSM by RHCP although I also love the underestimated One Hot Minute......... Emergency On Planet Earth Betty Davis and They Say I'm Different by Betty Davis.......... Dad Man Cat by Corduroy Fantastic by Wham! I still can't accept that's Andrew Ridgeley!! Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables Anything with Tina Weymouth........

Mother of God........!!! I would love to have a little twang on that.......!!!

That jazz is the Don.....

That'll be you told, then. Ha ha..........! I really felt that crackle of tension too.....! Perhaps they had the same girlfriend??

Cheers GuyR, That's good to hear...... In a nice way........ Actually there was a Belgian guy on here telling me it is a tell tale sign of originality. A bit like shrinking scratch plates... Just more scary!!! I took it to a guy in Bristol called Martin Bailey......... he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and reckoned I had the relief too tight..... I wonder if the position of the neck to the body might need a fart of adjustment?

Cheers BassBod, I'm gonna give him a bell.....

Thanks for all the info fellas.........

Ha ha....... I am a numpty.......... It is indeed road worn.......... Ha ha!

It’s like they’re painted black.......?

I’m tempted to clean these poles up a bit........... The bass isn’t the loudest either.......

To be honest, I’ve just got hold of a road worn jazz bass with stack knobs on it & I wondered about having it done in shell pink.......

I was at Reading in 1991 when Cobain came out in a wheelchair........... I can't remember if the RHCP did their flaming pith helmets that year but back then, Reading was awesome.........

Evening all............ Can anyone recommend somewhere to get a bass refinished? I'm in Swindon so south west would be handy but I'm not worried about traveling a bit. Cheers guys......... and gals........

You might want to offer someone £20 for the effort mate.... That might do the trick.

Man, that looks like a whole world of fun in there!!!!!
