My friend mentioned to me yesterday "oh I found an old bass in my dads cupboard"....."yeah? what is it"...."It says Fender Mustang on the headstock" So I immediately got him to bring it to me haha! The serial number dates it to early 1976, its in the 500,000's So yeah, what do we think?. The finish has been stripped, although a luthier friend of mine said that the lacquer coat over what is now the natural finish could still be original, as Fender tended to treat the natural bodies, then paint them!? There's one string ferrule missing from the through body stringing, and unless pearl white wasn't standard as a scratchplate style then, I'd say everything else looks original!! Si

Make sure that both of you actually do say Hi, it would be silly having 3 of us in the same room and not talking haha! Si

Do it!! And its with DSHS, so should be awesome! Si

Good stuff, I prefer all their other stuff to SHA though Si

I've used an E2 a fair bit, never had any troubles with noise or anything. Its great as far as I'm concerned, you won't get super long loop times out of them, 21 seconds i think it is for one loop to play over the top, with 16 seconds if you want to loop & layer it indefinitely. You could spend more on other loopers like the Boss stuff or some rack stuff, but it all depends how serious you want the kit to be! The first track on my personal myspace (link in my sig) is the E2 at work! Si

Geee, I hadn't thought of that Cheers though Si p.s. Not only is sarcasm the lowest form of wit.....its also quite difficult to put across on a forum lol...but i tried

You arse!!! I thought i'd gotten lucky with such a quick reply lol Looks like a cool band tour van! Si

Well its worth a go! Following on from my "Someone wrote my car off" thread........ I need a car lol Obviously trying all the other avenues, but thought I'd maximize my chances and prey on the board member's tendancies to move on pieces of equipment when something new and shiny appears! :-D Colour - Preferably Black, Dark Red, Dark Green.......something dark you know......not white Age unimportant but is pretty much restricted by my budget and the younger it is, the sillier my insurance gets, so looking around '98 (S reg) to '01....... ish Mileage should be as low as possible obviously, but not over 110,000 preferably My budget is around £3,500 give or take (i would prefer to save a little obviously, but whatever) Cheers all! Si *sits back and waits to wade through the replies!*

Was the guy black with the stingray not having a pickguard? Si

Oh god, don't tell me that youtube guy has gone into production lol Si

very cool indeed! Is that their standard birdseye maple? Or did you pay more for a higher grade? Si

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

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

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

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

Ooooo, glad you got how i was feeling there! Cheers muchly Si

Thanks guys Very much appreciated! Si

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

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
