Have to say there was something special about David Coverdale's voice back then when he stayed in the lower registers more often, had his old nose and tilted his head back like an elephant seal. The way he sang 'Mistreated' still sends shivers down my spine.

I saw them around this time at the Kursaal in Southend when the album 'Burn' came out. One of the best gigs I've ever seen to this day. A naked woman appeared on stage seemingly from nowhere and jumped on Ritchie, who promptly unslung his guitar and played it on her backside

Bump for price drop to £15 posted. Sick of seeing it on my desk! -
Spotting an original neck finish - Fender Musicmaster
Paul S replied to cgg199's topic in Bass Guitars
I had a '78 Musicmaster and neck was pretty much exactly like that in the OP. Lovely dark caramel colour. Why did sell it? -
Thank you. This ticks a lot of boxes! -
Are you able to weigh this accurately, please?
-
Plastic. Edit - well the screw and nut it threads into for the side clamp are metal but the rest is plastic.
-
I use the Hercules one that has dual fixings to either clamp into the side of a mic stand or onto the top of one if you aren't using a mic. Fits a range of sizes.

Here's 3 I like. Possibly a bit mainstream compared to the other suggestions, but fit the brief IMO Steve Lukather's cover of Hendrix's 'Freedom' Lenny Kravitz's 'Always On The Run' And the rather similar 'Be Mine' by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

There is no definitive answer as everyone likes something different. I like Dunlop nylon 1mm, some people hate them. Buy and try as many as you can until you find the one that feels right for you. Its cheaper than finding the right strings, anyway.

Shouldn't you knit one pearl one?

Lies! Damned lies! OK, it's a fair cop 😊🔗
-
And I sold Andy a case to put it in. All the above applies 😊
-
Would it be imprudent of me to mention the Fender decal?
-
^^ That's where my money would go. Right there.^^

The soft spot is actually more like quicksand Difficult to disagree. The only thing I would add is you won't find a very light Yamaha BB, which are always going to be around 9lbs +/- but you will find a light precision - sometimes 8lbs or thereabouts. I have tried a few from a BB414 to a BB5000 and, much as I like them, they are just that little bit too heavy for me across the board. MIJ Precision would be my choice for a lighter weight P bass.

I'm sure that's what he xeant.

You want bling, you should have a think about the acrylic mirror pickguard I have for sale I bought the Axesrus BWB one to replace this. It says made in japan on the back. Was an OK fit - I had to shave a weeny bit from the pocket and two screw holes didn't quite align.

I find I have no further use for the hard case in which my cute little Squier VM Mustang arrived. I believe it is one of these - a guitar case but large enough for a shortscale bass. At least, a perfect fit for a Mustang. Length inside is 107cm. It has a few minor scuffs but, really, is in great nick. Still has the key. Looks like this - stock pic. If you really insist I can take some pics of this one but it won't prove anything other than I actually own it Seem to cost between £69-110 online. I am asking £30 collected, postage would be extra. Could meet or deliver within reason for fuel. Ta -
Common sense? Anyone got a link to where I could find some?

Can any bass player here tab/score this bassline
Paul S replied to Bassy Bass's topic in General Discussion
5 posts in and he comes out slugging! I fear your time on this bass forum will be short lived unless you learn some manners, matey. For one thing, I have read and re-read the OP and can't see the word 'please' anywhere. Maybe I was dragged up differently. -
Maybe I could take the neck on holiday with me! I'm guessing it is poly - the bass is a Squier VM Mustang. Damned fine little fella it is too.
-
I am sure if you explained to your line manager making a 2 minute phone call wouldn't result in you getting handed notice. I bought a short scale bass from there, when it arrived it was in fact a mistakenly described long scale. One phone call sorted the issue inside a minute.
-
I see. Might add some seasoning and BBQ sauce
-
Thanks. I hadn't considered the effect of the temp. changes. Probably not worth taking a risk.
