Here y'go then, 24 minutes of it this time. 4 years on from the first vid, and they're still doing the same... errm... style.

I can't believe that people actually went 'woo' at the end. Unless it was short for 'woo boy, thank god that's over'.

Well we can see where this one is going.

Ohhh my word, that is super drooly. I'd love a YOB Jazz, but have you seen the price of '65s lately..?

Eek. Best of luck.

Find a luthier and get an actual quote. You have nothing to lose by doing so.

You took the words straight out of my mouth sir. It's a great album anyway but Giblin absolutely owns it.

I thought this thread was "Albums you've really tried to love", not "Artists and bands you've always hated"..?

Yes, it does feel like it. The neck on my V7 fiver is certainly nice and slim.

Jaydee Roadie 1 fretless, alas long gone.

My Sire V7 fiver at the office.

My Shuker custom 'J' bass. Satin finish tobacco sunburst on burr poplar. Even the headstock is in on the act

I'd love a P7 to match my V7 but there's no way I can afford it at the moment. If they'd brought the two out at the same time, I think I might have gone for the P7 (as I understand it, they share the same neck dimensions etc).

'Best' is of course entirely subjective, but most albums? Really? I doubt that somehow.

As are such simple hardware issues as knobs. My fret ends were ok, but I replaced the knobs with shiny ones from fleaBay and the tuners with some nice Hipshot ultralites (thus shaving a good half pound off the overall weight of the bass). Oh, and I replaced the bar string retainer with some Hipshot string trees. Twisted necks and duff finishing and dodgy woodwork are all problems, and as far as I know they are absent from Sire instruments. Tuners and knobs are just niggles.

Ah-one two three, and... We're on the march wi' Ally's army, we're goin tae the Argentine And we'll really shake them up when we win the world cup, 'cos Scotland are the greatest football team. Oh dear.

Paul is about 15-20 years too late to 'make it big'.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Now that's a proper dirge. Dull, fawning load of old toss.

I was on a Caribbean cruise some years ago and got chatting to the young bassist in the 'house' band. He reckoned he was having a whale of a time. The pay wasn't astronomical but he was loving it, said he'd recommend it to anyone. See the world for free and get paid to play bass, what's not to like. If only I was 30 years younger etc.

This ^^
