Nice to record with too!

Hey folks. Just thought I'd post a snap of my practice rig. It's all too old and beautiful to take out to gigs, much as I'd love to. The bassman is a 63 (as far as I know) and the precision is a 73. Enjoy!

Just wanted to post something here in praise of Oldgit.... He has gone far above and beyond the call of duty with all the help he gave on my bands website. It's gone from "okay" to "pretty good if I do say so myself". And, most importantly, I'm quite sure all this help has resulted in an increase in bookings for The Panoramics (my band). I still can't understand where he gets all the spare time for his charitable contributions, but by now he must have amassed a huge reserve of good karma.... your definitely going to heaven Si! Some day I hope to be able to pay him back in some way, because honestly it is so rare to come across a stranger on the internet (or in real life) who is willing to go out of their way to help out of the goodness of their own heart. He offers top quality advice, no doubt which is worth a pretty penny if I'd been looking for someone's professional services. And have no doubt, Oldgit is definitely a professional when it comes to website usability. He knows his stuff. I hope this doesn't come across too gushy, but if anyone out there gets a chance to work with or is offered help by Si (Oldgit), bite his hand off. Just in-case your interested seeing the site all the work was done on, its this one: www.thepanoramics.com Thanks Jesse

I can recommend the markbass as the ultimate practice/small gigs amp. It don't come cheap though. If your playing at low volumes, like coffee house or jazz type gigs, it should do the biz volume wise for you. For louder drumming and stuff you'll need an extension cab, with which it works very well. Very easy to carry, and can double as a very small p.a. for parties and stuff.... just plug your ipod in, mess with the filters a bit and bobs yer auntie! Pretty cool. Had to sell mine but wouldn't mind another some day.

If you're going to buy a new neck and pickup, you may as well get a body while you're at it and end up with a new bass![/quote] If the body is nice and light, it might be worth keeping the body. Cant help but feel it's a bit of a shame to refinish the body. Id say it will effect the value in a downwards fashion.... So you cant sell it, but you don't want to play it as it is..... Can you get the neck re-fretted?
