    What colour did you go for?

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1387571255' post='2313595'] enjoying the music... so you're not selling as you're not using it.... I'm not going to ask! [/quote] Nah - it's out on about 50% of my gigs. I've just got that old 'What if?' feeling, and unfortunately it's the only chip I have left...

    Ha ha Nice try.... A few more specs for any interested parties:[list] [*]Custom cast fully adjustable bridge - string-thru body option [*]2 x custom Bill Lawrence pickups with dual poles to aid sustain [*]Each pickup is independently switchable to series (hot'n'fat) / parallel (bite-y and slappy) / single-coil (standard Jazz) [*]In single-coil mode, the coils are exactly in 60s Jazz position [*]Hipshot Ultralite tuners [*]Drop-D tuner [*]Graphite reinforced neck [/list]

    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1387479700' post='2312545'] [i]It's a lovely light weight (but not a lightweight!).[/i] Any idea where Mrs. WoT put the kitchen scales? [/quote] Mrs. WoT's scales suggest 8.5lbs. I never trust measurements with kitchen or bathroom scales, but that doesn't feel far off. It might even be a smidge less...

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1387464256' post='2312268'] GAS is an extremely cruel mistress, but she must obeyed in order to avoid having an aneurism (at least that's my excuse). What are you gassing for? [/quote] I'm quite open, to be honest. I fancy an nice old maple-necked P (I miss my old '72). Maybe.. GASP... something Oly white. Or maybe... GASP... a PJ. Or, EVEN BIGGER GASP... something not Fender. I dunno, but that's half the fun, isn't it?

    Yeah - you're absolutely right. Truth is, I have a three-bass limit. My 71P's can't go anywhere - it's enshrined in my constitution. So the RB stands between me and that terrible affliction known as GAS. At the moment, GAS is winning.

    It's back up for sale. Here's a vid of me using it last week... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRZt8AeR974

    Dark Lord - before you go, would you answer my earlier question, please? I think it's important to put your views into context. Thank you. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1387386788' post='2311417'] Dark Lord - have you seen / used any of the current range of cabs? [/quote]

    David Crosby's 1971 solo album 'If I Coild Only Remember My Name' is beautifully recorded. Also, a lot of Buddy Holly's stuff sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday.
  13. wateroftyne
    I just wish they'd add more colours. That 'burst is... meh.

    I'd like to give one a run out, too...
  16. wateroftyne
    I feel your pain. There's no reason a band needs to be stupidly loud unless it's SUNN O))) or something like that. The thing is, if they tried playing at a reasonable volume, they'd probably like it. Strangely, most of the bands I play in that suffer from this problem do it because they're all deaf. Because they play too loud.
  17. wateroftyne
    Yep, as far as I'm aware...

    Cheers, folks :-)

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1387159098' post='2308918'] It's far easier to look at 1 thread containing 500 posts about XYZ, than to try and track down 500 threads. It's not rocket science. [/quote] Yup. I think some people need to lighten up and understand the word 'club' doesn't mean funny handshakes and all that.
  21. wateroftyne
    Doesn't bother me - it makes perfect sense. You're interested in [i]XYZ[/i] amp? Head off over to the [i]XYZ[/i] owners' club and fill your boots. That's all there is to it.

    The Fender Jazz is an iconic instrument. Which means that on a bass forum, you're going to get people who are - in varying degrees - interested in its origins and evolution. And especially when it comes to fairly controversial elements, like Herbie's bass. You're also going to get people who don't give a monkeys. And that's fine. Good on Herbie for letting someone try his bass, btw.

    [quote name='great harry' timestamp='1387137026' post='2308586'] This forum should be renamed anorak chat. I have just been reading the first couple of posts and amazed how quickly an awesome gesture by a liviing legend to a young lad just starting out on his musical journey has been reduced to a slanging match over the exact date and status of an equally legendary instrument. Btw that's the longest sentence I have ever written. [/quote] It's called 'Basschat'. Most people are here because they're into basses more than the average Joe on the street.

    I haven't watched this yet, but I will. And Steve Ferrone is the icing on the cake. http://bcove.me/u724s45k
