Hello Dangerboy. I am very close to having a punt, so some answers if you would be so kind. Is the truss rod working? Are all the electrics good, pick ups working individual and together. What is the action like at 1, 12 or 17 frets. Whats it like to play (subjective I know) Would you accept a cheque(I would happily wait for it to clear) as it's a long way from Wigan to London. Sorry for the dumb questions, it's just I'm dumb. Cheers, Karl.

Sorted guys, many thanks for your help. You are gentlemen of the highest water (that's a compliment). Now, I suggest you all hide for when I come across the neck problems Geddy basses have! Again, many thanks, Karl.

Thanks guys, major cock up avoided then. Off to Band Q tomorrow then, for adjusting thingys. Better book the A and E appointment now. Cheers, Karl.

Hi guys, bit of advice needed, pretty please. I have a Geddy Lee with bad ass 11. Action is very low, but it's starting with the fret buzz. For years I have just taken my basses to the local wizz setter upperer, but I cant really afford to now. So, what I am thinking (allegedly!) is if I gently screw back the saddles, this will lift the action a touch, and eliminate the fret buzz. Can't be that simple can it? What horrors am I not accounting for? Please bear in mind I am as intellectually and technical gifted as a demised goldfish. Any help/advice gratefully recieved. Cheers, Karl.

As a muppet, I would expect a 4 grand bass to do the bookings, play itself, make the tea and service the van.

Cant believe that I cant find reference to Gary Thain, Uriah Heap (sadly long dead) If you get the chance listen to his work on Magicians Birthday, Sweet Freedom or Demons and Wizards. Massive influence on me as a kid. Karl.

[quote name='Hot Tub' post='589255' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:25 PM']It was 30 (ish) years ago. I was a teenager. John McCoy was (is) god. Simples.

Greenday? Coldplay? U2? Nickleback? Oh, please. THIS is music. Because it has FEELING*. *Feeling:- Alien concept to anyone who listens to (or plays) jazz, or anything written after 1976, [/quote] The band I was in circa '80/82, supported White Spirit at Hartlepool Town Hall. Janick on guitar. He left them, joined Gillan, we got support slot with Gillan at Middlesbrough town hall. On the same stage as one of my gods, didnt get any better, even the likes of Marillion and John Miles paling. Happy days.

Nice stuff vispo. tayste_2000, too honest for my own good. had a great offer from BIG J, but pointed out medium scale (which he hadn't noticed) and like me, he ain't medium scale. (no offense BIG J ). You are in Manc, always welcome to come and play with her (ooh er missus) Interest all over but nobody coming up with final, so had to bay her. Guy called Andi from Singapore was furthest, but I really couldn't sleep knowing it had survived 40-ish years to be couriered round the globe. Precisions, you can put nails in with'em, but not this one, bit more delicate! Sad, coz I really don't like ebay/paypal pricing policies, but, no choice. Keep your fingers crossed for me guys. Cheers, Karl. -

On the bay from tomorrow at slightly higher price. Still chance for those interested to avoid the bay, until there are bids. Andi, (today), hope you got my message , and understand why I won't courier her. (TBH I dread to think how much it would have been to Singapore). Thanks to all those who have contacted me. Cheers, Karl. -
