    If you go for La Bella it's the 760F-MUS set for the through-body Mustang.

    How about a 51/M rather than a M/51? I like a true neck pickup.

    The last time I auditioned for an 'originals' band, I was sent mp3s of the songs along with chord sheets. The time before that there was nothing and no clues beyond 'it goes like this'.

    3,065 !!!!!!
  6. EssentialTension
    Nice threads.
  7. EssentialTension
    How do you know that number?

    You won't get private market value selling equipment to a music shop and neither should you. They have costs (inc VAT). If the bass (or whatever) is worth so much more, in your opinion, then sell it privately.

    I'd reckon most people wouldn't know Macca was a bassist. They'd call him a singer/musician/Beatle/composer/Liverpudlian before they'd say bass player. The Rickenbacker is not iconic of the whole Beatles thing in the way that the Hofner is. The violin bass image stands for The Beatles as a whole

    At auction I suspect McCartney's Hofner would attract the highest bids. Estimates vary from £3,000,000 to £6,000,000. After all, Ringo's Ludwig drum kit fetched £2,000,000.

    ... and then there were two.

    Other upside-downers include surf guitar man Richard Dale ...

    I think bassist in OMD plays right-handed but upside down, having learned on a lefty flipped over. As here ...
  15. EssentialTension
    It's quite normal for classically trained players to play right-handed - even if they are left-handed in everyday life.

    Lovely

    I had a Hofner 185 Artist, for which I paid £30 in 1973, and played it until I got a Hayman 4040 in 1974 and a Fender P in 1975. I gave it to a friend. Looking back, it was a much better bass than I realised at the time. I wish I still had it.

    The little 'moderator' bubbles have lost their colour.
  19. EssentialTension
    I'd be interested to hear what you think about how much and what dfference there is with the P reversed compared with 'normal'.
  20. EssentialTension
    Does it switch from 'P pickup' to 'Reverse P pickup'?
  21. EssentialTension
    Did the lollipops drop right in or did you need new screw holes?
  22. EssentialTension
    That looks great.
  23. EssentialTension
    Some basses look better in the dark.
  24. EssentialTension
    Much better on the eyes, thank you.

    I had an Epiphone Embassy in ivory finish, which I liked a lot but I had to give up long scales due to health issue. ..... but I can't find a picture of it.
