[quote name='daz' timestamp='1357788851' post='1928489'] Is he actually alright ? I mean I am quite sure he has pals with the interweb, who would gladly let him use it at the drop of a hat. Or an internet café or a wifi point nearby. Being as he's supposedly such a nice chap, and conscientious worker . It does not seem like him to fall behind with orders and not keep in touch with customers. Maybe there is some darker reason that he has fallen behind with orders and kept away from the forum. Neither of which are like his usual self (from what I can tell from this forum anyway. I am not claiming to know the guy) So many people seem to have more than a good word for him. This is obviously from a long earned reputation for doing good work and just being a decent bloke. If he wants to keep it private fair enough.However, I'm starting to get a bit concerned myself and I don't even know the guy. So I am sure there must be people on here who know him in real life, who must be worried. [/quote] He's fine - I was there a few days ago, and he was grafting away. I honestly think part of it is this; he's a face-to-face / telephone guy. Chatting via computer is probably in a distant 3rd place.

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1357815026' post='1928731'] Who is Tim, and why is he a wasted on this thread? [/quote] If you have to ask, it's because you don't know. *taps nose*

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1357813072' post='1928671'] Was it wise to make it the same day as the Moffat bash? I do entertain ideas of attending other bashes and this one is probably the second nearest one to Aberdeen, but it's no much use if they're going to clash. I'm good, but I'm not two places at once good [/quote] Ah, flip... I didn't spot that. Hopefully there won't be much overlap - it's a two-hour drive between us.

Run away.

Hi all Warwickhunt & I thought it was about time, so.... It's at [url="http://www.gingermusiccompany.com/"]The Ginger Music Company[/url], the same location as the last one a couple of years ago. it's not far from the centre of Newcastle (on the Gateshead side) and the south end of the Tyne Tunnel. [url="https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=ginger+music+company&fb=1&hq=ginger+music+company&hnear=0x25a3b1142c791a9:0xc4f8a0433288257a,United+Kingdom&cid=0,0,5594262559019608756&ei=8m_uUNLBGa6o0AW3iIGICw&ved=0CJABEPwSMAA"]Here's a map[/url]. There's a vending machine for tea, coffee and snacks. [url="http://www.facebook.com/events/456671321047598/"]Here's a Facebook event[/url], If you're coming along, please join the event or reply to this thread to give us an idea of numbers. Thanks!

[quote name='alaskaleftybass' timestamp='1357800978' post='1928503'] Please go out and try one for yourself. *snip* I promise you won't be disappointed. [/quote] That's just the problem. Plenty of people HAVE tried them and been disappointed. Welcome aboard, by the way...

Absolutely. That's what I was getting at earlier.. just ring him. He won't bite.

[quote name='RobTheBass' timestamp='1357746235' post='1927722'] This one might be for sale [/quote]

[quote name='RobTheBass' timestamp='1357745770' post='1927704'] Was it a Custom Shop limited edition - do you know any more about it? 2001 seems a bit late...I'm trying to recall the date I got it but this bass 'feels' older if you know what I mean... [/quote] Yep - it's a CS limited edition. I lusted after one for years. Also available in Sunburst apparently, but I've never seen one.

[quote name='RobTheBass' timestamp='1357744818' post='1927670'] that's the one [/quote] 2001 limited edition. Happy to help...

Is it one of these?

[quote name='RobTheBass' timestamp='1357743712' post='1927641'] I've since found out that a number of special edition Tele's were released between 1982 and 1988 that had the 4 digit number stamped on the bridge plate so I'm wondering if it was part of these - although a bass but it has been known as the Tele bass based on the 52 P with the Tele headstock...this dating would suit the bass. [/quote] I can't think of a bass meeting this description that was built between 1982 and 1988. Does yours have a P and a J pickup?

Fender will be able to help. Email the Custom Shop. We want pics!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1357728443' post='1927226'] Excellent idea WoT - and I'll come back here and make a crass and inappropriate remark about that reply. [/quote] Expression of shock / hurt / amusement / sarcasm / agreement* [size=2]*I will delete as appropriate when the context is available[/size]

Jimryan - I'm posting this as a placeholder. When you remember what your post was going to be, and you update your OP, I'll come back and edit this with a proper reply.

Here's a detailed diagram of my setup: fingers > bass > amp > cab

I think it's more of a wake-up call to shops to start setting basses up so they're vaguely playable before hanging them out on the wall. That way, if a bass is a dog, it's because it's a dog. Send it back. The internet is killing you all. Put some effort into it.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1357649738' post='1925909'] Yes. I notice this particularly on the last few Rush albums. i find them almost unlistenable at times. [/quote] Ah, tell me about it. Everyone going on about how Clockwork Angels is a return to sonic form. No it isn't! Listen to it! It's terrible! *hyperventilates*

Haven't read the thread, but I'd just like to say that it's the mastering that's boils my p*ss. It's all mastered for tin-pot car speakers or earphones bought from a market stall. It's like listening to wallpaper.

Nope.

Direct from Lakland. Works out about 21 quid shipped - they arrive in a week or so..

A lot of people get into fretless for the Pino / Jaco thing. Not me (although it is very nice). I just love the sound a fretless Precision makes. Uprighty, growly, with sustain... yum.
