  2. I always thought Oban was in Argyll. It's like saying Canterbury is in Essex.

Better if you buy in bulk though. Thomann used to do them for about £8 a pack, so if you bought 4 packs, plus postage it used to still work out cheaper than buying from the UK. Postage from G4M is slightly better, £2.49 for 1 set, £5.49 for 4.

  7. A lot depends on your budget, and how much you want to spend on strings. If you have a limited budget, or can see yourself needing to change your strings a lot, then I would recommend Warwick Red Label strings. Not sure if they do flatwound, but they do both nickel & stainless steel versions of the roundwounds. At less than £10 a pack, can't go wrong really. Everything else is around twice the price, if not more. Search the t'interweb for the best deals. Fender strings are good, and reasonably priced, but they don't do stainless steel's anymore.
  8. Still loving the 4003, Great playing and sounding bass, did have to set it up a bit & drop the action, but it wasn't that far off. Bizarrely, finding the back of the neck a tad "sticky", heard a lot said about it on the other US based bass forum, but never experienced it before. Thankfully, guitar polish, buffing and playing it has helped. The case is more knackered than I though. The inside really smelled bad, Febreze spray worked for a bit, but it's starting to smell again. Noticed even more damaged bits recently, so a new case is on the Christmas list. Love it, but still loving my custom Faker too.
  9. Recently got another 4003 with the full width inlays. Superb.
  10. Any serial no. at all? This place is good for finding stuff out: http://www.tokairegistry.com/ http://www.tokaiforum.com/
  11. Had an early 2000's MIM Jazz that was very good indeed. Separate scratchplate & control plate though.
  12. Remember being dragged to see "We Will Rock You", and being pleasantly surprised that Mr Murray was playing bass for that show. Always understated, always played to the song. Top player. Never could stand Whitesnake though!
  13. Rain - The Cult Rain - Status Quo Here Comes the Rain Again - Eurythmics
  14. Always thought that the Aria SB bridge was a great design.
  15. An Epiphone version of the Ripper would be great (though an original would be even greater!). Some free cash to buy stuff would be a good start though.
  16. Easy Like Sunday Morning - The Commodores / Faith No More
  17. There's nothing worse than seeing a "critically acclaimed" singer / songwriter / band, where the music plays second fiddle to the vocal performance. One of the worst offenders of this though was the "Shred" era, where the "song" was "written" around a fiddly, widdly, noodle-fest of a solo, usually following a scale.
