Little Dragon

May not be to everyone's taste but,for me, the best looking bass ever to have a Fender badge.

Undecided on the looks, not sure the headstock matches. May have been better if the head was a similar shape to the very rare Japanese Performer?

Tried D'addrio half rounds, quite like after putting string conditioner on as a bit sticky, tried Stadium Groundwound, nice sound but quite high tension, favourite halfways, Rotosound Pressurewound Solos.

My Sharona for the octaves.

Retrovibe basses, bought one because it was cheap, liked it, now have three.

Might hear it tonight, going to see the Wildhearts in South Shields.

Already have 3 Retrovibes, this news is quite likely to cost me money in the long run....

Ali McMordie of Stiff Little Fingers is a Musisman player.

Down In The Tube Station At Midnight. Don't even try to put the harmonics in.

Reading through, I see examples of broken machine head, jack socket, string, electronics and a couple of "no idea whys". Put that up against Murphy's Law and there is a definite argument for having some kind, even if not high end, of spare at a retrievable distance. And an amp. And some leads..........

Ordered a tone switch last week and it arrived today. Simple instructions included and easily fitted. Sound is good through a small amp, look forward to trying it out on a grander scale. Many thanks.

Groundwound are sometimes also known as halfround. They are roundwounds with the top surface ground down and have the appearance of flats but a sound somewhere between flats and rounds.

Stadium Elite Groundwound?

The SPOTs (Sex Pistols On Tour).

Would have to now call it 'The Foxtrot Studio'?

Could never be bothered to learn how to as the results just aren't worth it.

Sorry, but am I the only one distracted by the stringing at the headstock?

Could easily have been a number of episodes instead of just the one.

Retrovibe Tele and specify the right bridge to achieve the spacing?

I have a small amount of experience regarding PRS by way of questioning licence fees for playing music in my tattoo shop. My MP at the time was David Milliband and via him questions were asked at the Commons Mixed Media Committee. Long story short, the way their company is set up, they appear quite benevolent and all I got from this was a letter on House of Commons stationery. I do not belief they work in the best interests of musicians, but rather to maximise payments to Directors.

Retrovibe is still separate from Chowny but collaborate on some models. A few tuners have showed up on their website recently.

I have a friend who has an Artist Deal with Vintage has used them on a number of Festival dates/tours and rates them as highly as the F brand ones he owns, no modifications. I have a MM style one myself and can't fault it.

Ooooh! That green.........

Having read the book, quite a large part of it may not be directly Pistols related.
