Big thanks to T-Bay for helping me with a new switch in my OLP MM22.

Hurry and bid, before this item goes whey pasteurize. You feta believe this is a chance for a pizza rock and roll history.

I bought what I thought would be my ultimate bass last year, a Dingwall NG3. It did everything it should but I couldn't mentally justify having 1500 quid in capital doing not much. Quite happy now with my Miller Jazz and OLP MM22, doubt I'll spend more than 750 on anything again*. *But I probably will

USA Gretsch 6131 Firebird, brand new for £299 from SoundControl Brum. They had it marked up as an Electromatic, even stuck to the price when asked if it was right. They're out of business nowadays, not sure why.

Hahahahah. Just because something is rare doesn't mean it's valuable.

Can't find anything similar online. Thought there'd be something somewhere.

I like this guy. No talking, same riffs most of the time and points a lot. https://www.youtube.com/user/indrapepenk

I don't know what model this is and it's annoying me. It looks quite nice... Help https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F401760654860

I left my Jazz Deluxe out last year, it warped the pickguard. Had to soak in boiling water and left it under a heavy granite chopping board for 10 mins to fix.

How about out of these ? 1) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-way-4-channel-Pickup-Selector-For-Guitar-Bass-E59/143066259240?hash=item214f69df28:g:3z0AAOSw4NZbevf0 2) https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/121354499836?chn=ps

Hi chaps, The 5 way in my OLP is a bit sketchy and the neck pickup generally cuts out. I've tried contact cleaner but it tends to only work for a few minutes. With so many switch types I don't want to buy the wrong one - can anyone help isolate what this is and possibly point out places to buy ? Thanks :). n.b. current switch allows following selections: * Neck Humbucker * Both pickups inner coils * Both pickups both coils * Both pickups outer coils * Bridge humbucker

This is my current fave - anyone on the forum ?! RevDrGlover (Coventry) Sunday 24 Mar 2019, 7:26pm I'll turn-up to every practice, won't do tiresome bass solos, will syncopate between lead guitar and the kick-drum, fattening-up your sound, and will have no opinion about 'musical direction', just like bass players should. I've been playing with bands that are 'nearly ready to gig' for four years, without playing an actual gig. I bloody love making music with other people. Happy to carry-on doing that; thoroughly enjoying practice sessions, or actually practice to the point of actually playing an actual gig. I'm in my 50's with a mental age of 14 or so, and love what bass guitar can do to glue a band together. If that's what you're missing; I'm your man*. [*Or your gender-neutral bass-person who's cosplaying a fat lazy old bloke.] Blip me a DM, and I'll WhatsApp you on Instagram, or fax you a Telex at your Reddit PO Box number. Erm, bro.

My 2005, almost mint condition. I have the bridge/pickup cover for them which makes it look cooler but gets in my way.

I was merely sharing public info regarding his company filing to clarify the speculation on the finances involved. I didn't expect the DailyMail style critique of it all.

I have an audition tomorrow night i'm not optimistic for, think they may be a bit pushy and 'do it this way' but we shall see.

I'm quite likely to grab one of these, wish they were available sooner.

So many bands are looking for people to just fit in, do as they're told etc. This is why I am generally not in bands 90% of the time. You can generally sniff them out up front from the wording of the adverts.

My Dad has about 10 guitars all in hard shell cases. I have mine easily accessible in a rack - as such I play them all over the course of a few days. I'm sure he has some that haven't seen daylight in the last 12 months. I don't see the point in having them if you can't see them and want to randomly pick them up.

I see each instrument as having a certain voice. You could be Tom Jones and sing with the phrasing of Freddie Mercury, but you'll sound like Tom Jones.

I saw a rumour that it was cheaper to 'lose the data' publically, than the cost of migrating them to a new platform. As someone who works in IT, I can actually believe this. Glad I backed up my old metal band MP3s into Google Drive...

Sorry for reviving the thread. I tried a new Stingray 4HH today (sparkly blue one) in GuitarGuitar and it was underwhelming. Sounded nice and all that, but I really didn't feel £2200 in my hands. Setup wasn't great which is surprising but I'll blame the shop. My OLP MM22 honestly sounds just as good and was 12% of the cost.

You can see there isn't much to building a R*ck copy,, the bespoke hardware may be a factor in the cost but OY MY GOD HOW MUCH.
