    Well done mate, it was gorgeous. Now, wheres my kleenex?
  2. karlfer

    OK, sorry to Ian, but please, nobody buy this until I sell my Epiphone Explorer bass. Hoist by my own petard, but that would be a bump then.

    Well done, wish you all the very best. Try Steinberger/ Hohner?

    Thank Jaco that was sold before I saw it.

    I had the Creamy/White Gibbo Explorer as well, for about 15 years AND I LOVED IT! Good basic sound, well meaty, great neck to fly about/chord on. I didn't have trouble with neck dive, but I did wear it high, so perhaps thats why. Sold it in one of those stupid moments and regretted it ever since. Good luck, Karl.

    Many thanks Dangerboy. I'm working on it, cheers, Karl.

    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.

    Thats the poodles privates. Thinking very strongly about reasons for Jazz number 4. Would be less thinking if I hadn't moved from Falkirk to Wigan.

    Have a bump on me, whilst I consider the consequences of lying to the wife about little it cost.

    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.
  15. karlfer
    Many thanks D Cheers, Karl. PS the Geddy and the 'Ray both look gorgeous.

    Hi gafbass02, sorry no deal, just info if you would be so kind. I have a standard geddy, did you get the lovely tortie plate made to fit, and if so by who please? Good luck finding your trade, Cheers, 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.

    Hi thedonutman. Sorry to be pain. What sort of condition? Close up photos if poss? What model is the Peavey exactly, coz I tried harmony and couldnt find peavey max 450 nitro bass, probably because it's not been reviewed. Cheers, Kar.
  22. karlfer
    Think that may be the made in China ones, whilst I think Kevs is a made in USA. PS Kev, 1. Have you still got the castors that come with it? 2. Hope to be in touch next week, fingers crossed ( and patience strained, certainly on my part) Karl.

  24. karlfer
    On the bay, 1 bid, 40 odd watchers, I hate this. Wish I had put a reserve on ebay, then I wouldn't have this horrible feeling. Any BC'ers, fancy picking her up this weekend for £150 ? then I can speak to KevinJazzBass about his Ampeg.

    [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.
