    Cool thread - I didn't know of this product. I usually get my friend who works on guitars to blast them with an air pump. This may cut out the middle man!

    I think I'd prefer a "toilet seat one" given the choice. Always secretly fancied getting one but never got around to it.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='578103' date='Aug 23 2009, 10:53 AM']Well, kind-of. I was born in August 72... But get this: I've just had the neck off it to take a photo of the heel, and guess what? The bass isn't a 73. It's a 72. August, to be specific.[/quote] And your still selling it?

    I haven't seen these since the late 80s but do remember them
  5. Cat Burrito
    Even better than the 1968 neckplate the other week!

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='577365' date='Aug 22 2009, 09:13 AM']Thanks, Mr. WH! It's only been on there since 9pm, and there's 20 watchers already. So.. we'll see![/quote] I'm one of them and hadn't put two & two together until I saw this thread. You seem to have a lot of early 70s Fenders. Were you born in this era or is there some link?

    I tried one in Dawsons (or played through one trying a bass which I bought) and was really impressed. Good tone and for a practice amp it's as good as it gets

    This is the main design flaw on telecasters so stands to reason it could happen on a Sting bass or a 51 P style bass. Take the volume / tone control plate off and you can get to it from the back. Then you can tighten up the washer from the outside without twisting / breaking the wires. Once it's tightened it'll be good for a long while. Touchwood my 51 P-bass hasn't been a problem. It's a relatively simple proceedure though. Good luck.

    I currently have one as my desktop wallpaper & I'm getting more excited about this amp the more I think about it

    Looks the mutts nuts!

    As a teenager I liked the bass players best in the bands I liked at the time. So those people who inspired me are NOT the reason why I still play but I think Duff McKagan (GnR) and Nigel Mogg (Quireboys) are largely responsible for my initial interest.

    I often practice unplugged & I agree it's a little lazy as you do develop bad habits that then sound awful amplified. The advantages are it's easier!

    Never heard of White Horse but it sounds like Gear4Music's own brand. I think the Peavey link is better too
  14. Cat Burrito
    I like the colours and you can't beat a good P-bass. A bit *too* heavily relic'd for my tastes but then it isn't my bass. Looks authentic on the relic job though which is a plus

    [quote name='BarnacleBob' post='575061' date='Aug 20 2009, 08:17 AM']Only £519 new at GeetarGeetar BB[/quote] I know but they do tend to hold their value. I've owned and sold a number of classic series MIMs and it's amazing how much they go for. I still have my 50s RI (MIJ though) from the 80s

    [quote name='guzzibass' post='571212' date='Aug 16 2009, 11:33 PM']Had a bit of a clear-out and now I'm tempted to buy this...... Bugger!!! [/quote] And the circle continues.... Nice bass though & you are not alone with this problem!
  17. Cat Burrito
    The 72 J-bass looks great & I love the collection. You appear to have the same problem with Stingrays that I have with P-basses!

    [quote name='Spinner' post='574611' date='Aug 19 2009, 07:26 PM']So far the main suggestions have beene: Peavey 210TX Ampeg B100-R Fender Rumble 100 The only thing is I haven't seen an Ampeg B100-R on eBay for a while now, but I'll keep looking. @BurritoBass: Thanks for the reassurance, I thought a Mexican was probably fine for him but I know that American Fenders tend to have a better reputation for whatever reason. We're not particularly loud, we play 60s and 70s blues/rock.[/quote] You're welcome - the Ampeg BA115 is alright too. I was ready to love the Fender Rumble & was really disappointed. Ampeg are much better with solid state than Fender
  19. Cat Burrito
    I reckon you'd get £400 for it - they are great basses
  20. Cat Burrito
    I love a bit of 50s rock n roll

    [quote name='Jamesemt' post='574919' date='Aug 19 2009, 11:33 PM']I mentioned this to my guitar builder, who suggested that he can get some pickups custom wound to be mid scooped...but is this the answer? Am I simply looking for the holy grail which doesn't exist??[/quote] Yes, it's one answer & a good one to boot. Holy Grail... Aren't we all?
  22. Cat Burrito
    The amp you suggest is perfectly fine & there is nothing wrong with Mexican Fenders. That amp may be a little quiet if he's playing with a loud band

    We did a bad gig in my old punk days when the whole band was drunk. My guitarist snapped a Les Paul and pushed it through a lighting rig. The repair cost him a bottle of whiskey. I threw my P-bass down and kicked it across the stage. It snapped the nut and permanently bent the neck (although I can't tell since the repair!). My pathetic tantrum cost me about £75 and I was on the dole at the time. Lesson learnt. I grew up. A bit.

    In his defence he doesn't actually say whether the £9765 1979 P-bass [u]actually[/u] sold?!?
