I don't like slap. Nowadays I play in a pub covers band. All Right Now has a bassline punters expect so I am not going to do hammers, pulls, triplets, blah. We don't actually do All Right Now, but you get the picture? I am part of a team of 4 blokes that play gigs to entertain punters and ourselves. So, each to their own. PS Nigel, July 16th, 1 week Barbel bashing on the Severn . Karl.

The assumption that it's hot, and that the seller hasn't got a clue what they're offloading is probably right. Here's one that caught my eye earlier....

(joke Mr Solicitor!)

Anybody wanna swap my 3 basses for a tambourine? Seriously though, fantastic, many thanks. Karl.

Sold my Aerodyne to Fede. He guided me through my 1st international transaction. Top fella, cheers Fede, Karl.

Yeah, good call, there's pretty much always some such item on. Somewhere to verbally pillory them would be good, it's frustrating seeing something you may be interested in, at a piss take price. Karl.

Go into the link below and search Hondo, good luck, Karl. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=270"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=270[/url]

Seriously though, that Gretsch is absolutely lush.[/quote] Off topic, is that a Red Gibbo Explorer? . (No, I can't afford it). I had me a white one for about 15 years, loved it, sold it for £400 to a mate. I think I have evolved into a dickhead!

[quote name='gub' post='1280124' date='Jun 23 2011, 08:34 PM']They look v cool , can you feel them at all?[/quote] Nope, you can't feel them. Stupidly easy to fit. They also peel off leaving no residue , if you want to remove them. Catch light in all sorts of ways. Silddx (Nigel) put me on to them, big thanks to him. Only thing I would do different next time is just remove the A and D strings when fitting, rather than all 4 strings. Loads of designs, was very tempted by Ying/Yang dots to be honest, but, 70's jazzes, bound, blocks, what can I say . Karl.

I am a cheat. Not fretless, but my Aerodyne has imitation blocks on, so I know where I am. About £13 delivered from good ol US of A, very quickly at that. [url="http://www.ccinlays.com/"]http://www.ccinlays.com/[/url] Karl.

Congratulations, gorgeous (er, not you obviously). The work you put into your collection does you proud. Karl.

You'll be sorry when you want a 1.75 x.64 brass screw and nobody else in the world has one . Karl.

Sorry Mods if this is in the wrong place. The company below have the world's worst web site but what they stock is incredible (in terms of nuts, bolts,m screws etc). Recently they have been the ONLY place where I could get the following: 1. Correct length/diameter bridge saddle screw for Japanese '75 re-issue, Even Allparts don't have them. 2. Hex headed tiny screw for the INSIDE the shaft of the tuners on my Attitude Special. Absolutely brilliant place. Charged me £1 for the 4 tiny hex screws and gave me another 4 the same, with Phillips head, just in case. Karl.

It sounds how it looks, rock 'n' roll [/quote] That is fantastic Chris. 1st dibs (did I really write that?) if it comes up for sale. Karl.

I'm weak, I will fail . Karl.

[quote name='ash' post='1274814' date='Jun 19 2011, 03:13 PM']The chap who's selling this approached me about a swap for my John Birch Rickenfaker - I did a bit of research and this has been around for ages in various sales/swaps forums, its not a particularly desirable bass and they tend to go for the 300 quid mark and that is all original excellent condition. The chap was friendly enough however (until I mentioned cash to balance the value) and I think genuine - he probably thought it was the model associated with Stuart Sutcliffe. I wouldn't bother as your Jazz would fetch far more - swap you for my JB plus cash! [/quote] Tempting Ash, but, I must repeat, No more bloody basses, No more bloody basses, No more ................. . Karl.

I qualify then. Now, what car can I nick worth £7.5k, back pocket? Nah, won't bother.

Bummer you got a rough one. Most folk who've had HW1's seem to have really liked them. Fender eh . Good luck, Karl.

Love my Lakky DJ (2008, Korea), only thing I changed was scratchplate to Mirrored from White (should have got red tortie, but heh ho). Never noticed any issues, best bass I've ever played. Karl.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='1274909' date='Jun 19 2011, 04:35 PM']I've just seen a pic of a White one with matching headstock and block inlays. I can't believe I've not seen these before. Time to sell a Squier I think.[/quote] Think Tom1946 has a lovely Orange one for saloe at the moment. Karl.
