    I think I've owned a couple of rare'uns: 1983 Fender Walnut Elite II - I bought it in Santa Monica. It now resides in Texas: 1981 Fender Walnut Precision Special - first version: Absolute tone monster. Bought in Germany, now with a BC'er: Roscoe Beck IV in sunburst and Maple - I'm not aware of another this colour in the UK. Currently resides with me :-) :

    I've had great service from both Bass Direct and Bass Gear.

    More constructive: have a word with The Bass Doc to see if he has something more 'correct' in stock.

    This isn't particularly constructive, but I think the Mighty Mite necks have the plastic truss cover at the neck. That looks so wrong to me... Sorry :-(

    I'm a fan across all ears - Fly By Night, Signals, whatever - but the one thing all the albums had in common up to HYF was... good songs. Then the rot set in, and the death of the vocal melody. Don't get me wrong, I'll buy the DVD. But I'd love to see a DVD of them tearing it up without all the distractions. It's getting silly. And expensive, ticket-wise.

    The strings were there for the whole tour. That's a LOT of cheese.
  7. wateroftyne
    Yes. I think you should!

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1376488145' post='2174728'] What's going on at 6'27"? Is there NO audience, or are they all asleep? [/quote] They were all away checking out the latest posts on the Alleva Coppolo thread on Talkbass.

    This one always rang my bell. Is it still in BC-land?
  10. wateroftyne
    Pot luck.

    They're common-or-garden Jazz Deluxes pimped up with LEDs and a shiny cavity plate. I don't even think Mark King likes them.

    Try raising the action a bit - let the strings breathe.

    [quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1376678655' post='2178021'] It says at the start of the trailer that "In 40 years, rush has only ever performed as a trio". I don't think that's true! Did they not used to have that Hugh Syme guy - or somebody similar - on stage playing some keyboards in the 80s? Rush experts, please shoot me down if necessary - but I at least thought that was the case. [/quote] Nah - Hugh played 'em occasionally on the records. Live was always Ged, triggered or sequenced.

    They need to get back to writing songs, rather than stitching riffs together in ProTools and slapping a melody over the top. CA is a very small step in the right direction.

    Not your fault - it's an IE issue. Install Chrome or Firefox instead.

    On hold.

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1376669782' post='2177797'] That City Hall vid is just amazing. Be proud dood! Mind, few more musicians than last time I saw them there . Beautiful bass. GLWTS [/quote] Cheers, Karlfer! That gig was at the Sage Gateshead. City Hall was a couple of months later with a different band. It was fun.

    [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1376671706' post='2177848']The something really important missing from most of Rush's music for the last couple of decades , namely enough decent songs to make an album [/quote] Absobloodylutely. And lose all those VTs, too. We want to watch the band.

    Right, I'm digging my heels in - this time I'm not going to let emotion get the better of me. For sale: 1971 Fender Jazz. £SOLD.[list] [*].All-original apart from 200 quid's worth of Antiquity II pickups. (The originals are weak - I'll include them, and a rewind would sort them if you're that way inclined). [*]Wear is consistent with a gigged 42-year-old bass. No cracks or areas of concern. [*]Original ashtrays included. [*]Medium weight. [*]Neck straight and solid. The truss screw is flush with the heel. [*]The first few frets are starting to get a little low, but there's life in them yet. [*]Bridge has the the elongated screw on the 'G' which is correct for the era. [*]Comes with a letter of provenance from the guy that bought it new in 1971. [*]It currently has schaller straplocks fitted, but the original buttons will be re-fitted. [/list] There's no case, so I'd prefer collection / meet / deliver locally at the moment. I'm in the Newcastle area. Any questions, ask away...

    [quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1376660806' post='2177559'] love Rush, but how many DVD's are these guys going to release?. I have them all so buying another one is just overkill for me [/quote] There's an obvious reply to this, but I'm not going to say it.
  23. wateroftyne
    FWIW, when I started this thread the discussion was intended to be the way this specific complaint was handled. Nothing else. I have no opinion on AC otherwise. Never played one, couldn't afford one. :-)

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1376642352' post='2177144'] Tell me honestly, if that particular bass had come into the shop in the condition that it appears to be in from the photos and video posted would you have tried to sell it? Or would it have been send straight back to Jimmy asking WTF he was playing at? [/quote] It could have happened, too: [quote name="Jimmy Coppolo"]The only way I can possibly consider issuing a refund is if I find another buyer for the bass. I will reach out to all my dealers and distributors this afternoon to see if any of them will buy the bass.

    Might be old news, but just in case... [url="http://youtu.be/2YuBjzhrxHg"]here it is[/url]. The string section still makes my skin crawl...
