Frank Blair and Barry Johnson played bass on that album - not sure which one was on that track though.

Rather unlikely for me - could probably stretch to [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender-Catalog-Flyer-Reprint-1954-Vintage-Paper_W0QQitemZ380197282384QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5885862250"]this[/url]...

I know what you mean. Due to various issues I can't get into a band even of I found one that was suitable, so I'm thinking of selling my gear at the moment. Getting fed up of playing on my own at home.

And now it has stopped...

I'm getting that as well, though it is now allowing the ads through. I think it is the latest Kaspersky update being over-zealous, it happened a month or so ago as well.

And I love his stuff - I'm going to see Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten on Sunday but I would much rather have been able to make the MM gig in London recently.

[quote name='ezbass' post='639278' date='Oct 28 2009, 05:41 PM']Yeah bring on the Spotify invites...............please[/quote] I currently have 6 invites apparently - drop me a PM if you want one. I also pay the £9.99 a month - not only is it ad-free but you get better quality as well, though it's pretty good at the free level.

[quote name='tjkennelly' post='633663' date='Oct 22 2009, 07:00 PM']Been wondering for a while now, what does feeler mean in the fs sections?[/quote] The seller hasn't necessarily decided to sell/trade but is putting out a feeler to see the interest. Might not get bumped too often if they really aren't sure.

Couple of other options (neither of which I have any experience of).

Edit: just had another look at that mixer and it doesn't have a headphone output :/

Like the idea of a fretless P but can't afford any more instruments at the moment - well not what that would cost anyway. So, having read Clarky's thread about the Audere I'm considering putting one of those in my CIJ fretless J. Good idea?

Overwater J-series - and they have one in stock on special offer within your price range - [url="http://www.overwaterbasses.com/pj50001.htm"]here[/url].

I know someone who has put an extra couple of strap buttons on their bass - one on the lower horn and one in the centre of the back. They then use an second strap between these over their opposite shoulder.

Don't know why you are even discussing it. Just check Wikipedia: "The standard design for the electric bass guitar has four strings, tuned E, A, D and G" So there it is, case closed.
