Yep. It's probably ok. The seller has excellent feedback.

I see that the Streamer is back up for auction. Ebay need to get a grip!

I'm sorry. I just can't believe that you are moaning about this situation. I can't say any more in case I become abusive.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1291410' date='Jul 3 2011, 08:27 PM']Tony Reeves is actually a Basschat member - and also the MD of MTR Audio.[/quote] Wow! I didn't know Tony Reeves was a basschat member. If you read this thread Tony can I just say thanks for some memorable gigs that I will never forget.

Thanks for the thread Bilbo. I think the bass player's surname was spelt 'Briley'. I saw Greenslade whenever they played in Glasgow. I was a big fan. I have the album in question but preferred the first two albums especially 'Bedside manners are extra'. Tony Reeves was the bass player on the first three albums with Briley replacing Reeves for the fourth album 'Time and Tide'. In fact you've inspired me to dust down the albums and stick them on the turntable.

Unless you buy second-hand I believe that they are made to order. They are not ridiculously expensive however. It all depends on the spec you choose from the options that you will find on their website. I would certainly consider one.

I have that exact same bass. It's not Custom Shop. It's an honest example of a reissue. I would certainly pay £1000 for that bass as it's in pretty good condition. The reissues are a cut above the standard stuff of the same period.

Here's one for the Rick fans. Or perhaps not...... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140565134253&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#vi-desc"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...EWAX:IT#vi-desc[/url]

I've just watched B.B. King's set on iplayer. I thought it was superb. This man is 85 years old and still playing and singing like the master he is. BTW the bass player was using a Yamaha TRB.

I would be wary of the split in the back of the neck. It could be an overtightened truss rod.

Congratulations Matt that Guild looks superb. Also nice to see my old Gibson sneaking in to the side of one of your photos.

Was the strap button on the back of early Fenders not meant to be used to position the bass in a more upright position to help those making the transition from upright to electric bass?

Thanks for the comments chaps!

My son who is really a Jazz player wanted a Precision but wanted it fitted with a Jazz neck. I've therefore put this bass together in shell pink which is a finish I rather like. The neck is a mighty mite Jazz neck with precision decal fitted. The pickup is a Fender 62 vintage. Tuners are hipshot. The body is from a Squier. Hope you like it.

What a nice gesture Pete. You're a top man. Shame I don't live nearer.

But dour Scottish Presbyterianism had a slightly different effect. Cheers Graham[/quote] I work in the Church of Scotland which is presbyterian as is the Free Church of Scotland. The two branches shouldn't be confused. I would also say that there are plenty of very lively CofS congregations with good music being played. It's perhaps not very fair to damn Scottish presbyterianism as a whole. One persons experience can be vastly different from another's.

Thanks for the apologies. I'm pretty sure it's been on before. However, it's great to be reacquainted with a great clip. Many thanks!

Iwould go for a comfort strap. I think the bass gallery in camden stock them.

As a Christian who is employed full-time by the church I just want to say how much I have appreciated the way in which everybody has approached this thread.

[quote name='Colledge' post='1242485' date='May 23 2011, 11:58 PM']i've never been in a church except for a couple of weddings. i hope to keep it that way.[/quote] Was it really necessary to post this? You're not adding anything to the flow of the thread. You're just being nasty.

That's just outstanding!
