The Decal Shop stuff isn't that great, can't comment on the others I got a Fender decal from Trey at brauskoh at hotmail dot com (he has an ebay shop, but just email him) And it was fantastic, you can see it in the 'Build' forum under my 'Encore Rebuild' thread on the 1st page. He's in America, but it worked out about 3/4's cheaper than The Decal Shop Si

Oooo very possibly Paul, not sure I've tried looking for some pictures of basses from the same era ('79-'81), a 1979 and a '78-'81 on ebay didn't have any other decals other then whats on mine Again, i'm not really trying to fool anyone, i just like the way the decal looks. So if i need but can't find the 'contour/patent' bit to add, i'm not fussed really. Si

Alrighty, better get this up before Jim posts pics of his 1960 Jazz lol Heres the headstock with the decal applied: [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] The body: [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] So there we have it really........ I tried it at a covers gig last night, and it was great, one thing i will say about the DiMarzio is that is its fecking loud!! Like...REALLY loud lol. So we'll see how it goes, might drop a Wizard in for some Vintage tone if the DiMarzio doesn't work out. Its been properly shielded now as well, by a friend, replacing my teenage attempt seen above. You could say that my efforts were 'FOILED'!!!!!! HAHAHAhAHAhAh...hahahahahaha...ha.<ahem> So yeah, my first ever bass gets a new lease of life, and is getting gigged for the first time in about 6 years Was a fun little project.

Very insterested in both these Makes and models at the moment! So good thread Am i right in thinking that the UK Schroeder Rep is a member here? Cheers Si

You played badly because you're playing a Warwick whilst wearing a Fender tshirt! Classic mistake! What year is the Streamer? Looks real similar to my sisters! Si

How do you set the intonation? And how the hell does that string retainer stay on with all that tension? Very 'Ken Lawrence' Si

w00p w00p!! Si

Beautiful collection!! If you ever wanna sell the 83' P, lemme know Gotta have a bass from my year of birth sometime Si

I like the big *Sigh* at about 0.35 in the top/first video lol Cheers anyway, been practicing this for a while now Si

Yeah that neck joint in the second to last picture doesn't look very healthy at all! hmmm Si

See, by the time you get the new one from Thomann, you coulda been gigging the one from Ishibashi Hope the new ones more successful! Si

Me and Holly wanna watch something Si

So last night i went to visit Holly, my better half, at Kensal Town Studios in London where The Shebeats are doing some recordings! Lo and behold the studio had a number of 'house guitars' sitting in the studio in case anyone needs a particular sound. The one that caught my eye straight away, and the only really interesting bass (apart from a late 70's Mustang Bass), was this Precision. Like a geek i noted the Serial number down, and it dates 1977/1978. [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] I'll try and get some more shots, and have a play if i go back for another visit! Just thought it looked quite nice Si

Man, that really is excitement!! Looking forward to the pics today! Si

I just joined! At least i hope that was your group lol Was the only one coming up when i searched for Lakland Si

My covers band always DI/Mic everything, and 99% of my originals gigs is the same, i still love to have a phat bass sound on stage from my full rig. Hope the EBS is wicked! Si

[quote]Its at the Wunder Bar in Midsomer Norton[/quote] Is that where all the Murders happen? Si

Very easy and pleasent to deal with!!! Umm, what else to say. Bass was exactly as described! Funx Si p.s. and he has a cool big black van!
