  1. very cool indeed! Is that their standard birdseye maple? Or did you pay more for a higher grade? Si
  2. Ok so a few tiny little updates!! The body refinish is underway, we're going for black with a nitro finish. A black scratchplate will set this off nicely methinks! Badass II purchased Hipshot Clover Ultralights purchased (both courtesy of board members) Neck will be a flamed maple neck/fingerboard made by our very own ChopdaBass, but have to wait for the body to be finished first! Still waiting on finding the Pickups! And i still have to get my hands on some other misc hardware bits (see my wanted section listing). Thanks to Nico who tryed to send me some bitsa control plate gratis, typically the Royal Mail decided to lose the jiffy bag!!!! More updates soon i hope Si
  3. Hey guys!! My band First Signs Of Frost is supporting No Use For A Name, a Fat Wreck Chords signed punk band from the US. A slightly odd match up, but we're not complaining Its at Islington Academy on Sunday 6th of April. If anyone is attending or wants to attend, then get in contact. We have been provided with tickets to sell on at £10 as opposed to the £13/£14 through all the other usual sources. You need not admit any affiliation with us, even if you're going to see NUFAN, get your cheap tickets here I'll have a poster up soon!

  4. If you've still got the black jazz one by the time I get around to delivering the body and ordering my neck from you (hopefully around may 18th time now), I'll have it off you. Si
  5. Still waiting on the body refinish, when thats done i can give it to Chopdabass on here to build the neck! Still need pickups and tuners though haha! Si
  6. Feeling that, usually play that tune at weddings, lotsa fun! I remember hearing the song thought even before I'd picked up an instrument and loving it! One day I'll be able to grow a beard like you Chris! Si
  7. Sorry, no offense meant, just thought it was a better example of arpeggios across the neck, and with fingers instead of a pick. My disclaimer is that of course it is in my opinion! Si
  8. [quote name='Jase' post='151014' date='Mar 4 2008, 12:52 PM']Here ya go [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MBgEM5mHms"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MBgEM5mHms[/url][/quote] Lets try for an altogether better and definitly more musical application of the technique: [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-wxurZAFJWA"]Adam Nitti[/url] I mean, I agree with the point that this technique is largely useless outside of solo playing (read: showing off ) Si
  9. Yup, +1 for using a Precision body with a Jazz neck! Thats what I've done as I'm the same as you, love the sound but wasn't keen on the wider necks! [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] Si
  10. Ooooo, glad you got how i was feeling there! Cheers muchly Si
  11. Thanks guys Very much appreciated! Si
  12. Just look into learning some Arpeggios across the neck, buy a chord book and dissect them. The technique will come after you actually know what notes you're using! Si
  13. Just a covers gig in Reading O'Neills last night, but was brilliant, the whole band was clicking well, good energy!! Used my Precision for the whole gig rather then my Jazz as I'm starting to have a few problems with the raised pole-pieces on the jazz getting a bit sharp. I've been finishing gigs with really knackered tips of fingers......or indeed finger-tips! But the P was wicked, was loadsa fun and sounded awesome, really loving the Dimarzio! Si
  14. [quote name='lwtait' post='149122' date='Feb 29 2008, 06:45 PM']it was quite good first time i heard it, but six millionth time it gets annoying![/quote] Thats why i stopped visiting the bass center on school holidays! Si
  15. And I use the word 'Solo' quite wrongly Its basically a multitracked piece, all bass + drum machine, that i wrote for a shopping centre promo video. It goes for a minute and a bit then basically loops for another 3 with some very slight variations!. [url="http://www.myspace.com/simonrpoulton"]www.myspace.com/simonrpoulton[/url] Its the second track on the player, The Art Of Selling Yourself Short, I named if for my own reasons. The other newish track is the 4th track, When The Water Rises Up, which was a Blues'ish session that I did! Cheers, Enjoy Si
  16. I think the thing is have a branding that looks good! If you have anything toooo bass orientated, it might come across as a bit geeky perhaps I wouldn't wear anything that had a big bass clef or picture of a bass....having said that, i do have a Bassist Mug lol Si
  17. Looks nice! Kudos to him for actually saying its a Squire, but yeah, bit pricey! Si
  18. Headroom my friend...nothing like it for low tunings Si
  19. +1 for £475 being a good price +1 for the moulded case over the larger one Thats what my USA Jazz is in Good luck dude! Si
  20. [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] 2 band East Preamp, Series/Parallel switch, Push/Pull active/passive volume knob, Bartolini P'up [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] 18 volts [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] Schallers [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] Tis a good solid bass, I have it in Drop C Standard tuning, so C F Bb Eb Some random nice flame in the fingerboard to! Si
  21. Ooo OOoo OOooo, i'll go take pictures of my pimped OLP, surprisingly similar! Si
  22. What make are the pickups and hardware? Is the body alder or basswood? Is it a handmade body or a replacement? (I ask because the neck pickup rout is the size of one that would normally be found underneath a pickguard, and if he made it as a Jaco Tribute, why would there be a pickguard?) If you're not aware of any of this, is there a way you can find out from the chap who made it? Cheers Si
  23. Where did you see a '78 Musicmaster for £130????? Si
