  1. Damn right. My pension lump-sum is looming and a 5-string version of this would be right up my street...
  2. Not my dad, but a bandmate's... Back in the 90s I was in a pub rock/r'n'b covers band in Swindon. Very nice bunch of guys, we gigged a fair bit in the town's pubs over a couple of years. When I first met up with them to have a chat (pretty much the only audition I had ) the singer Tony mentioned in passing that his dad had played bass in the 60s. Turned out his dad was Brian Gregg from Johnny Kidd & The Pirates... that's him on "Shakin' All Over".
  3. The colour is Emerald Green, it was one of the original special order only finishes. It's actually a pretty good price for a Pro bass, they don't command the same prices as the Customs. Gives me a good idea of what mine's worth!
  4. There was some discussion about this on BassRat earlier. Opinion is split as to whether Stentor or Gewa bags taste better. Of course, some of the more hardcore types are saying that hard cases taste best and only wimps eat gigbags.
  5. OK so this is a solo but it is a ridiculously melodic one. Makes me smile every time I hear it. WARNING, fusion content.
  6. Go Away - Living Colour
  7. Hoochie Coochie Naan - Muddy Waters
  8. As I said in the other thread: There are many aspects that are a pain in the derrière, yes. But there were times a couple of years back when I wondered if I'd ever be able to play again. Thankfully I still can, and now I don't care how far the drive, how late the night, how tired the loadout -- I'm in two wonderful bands and loving every second of every gig, simply because I can. And for that I am grateful.
  9. Eat It - Weird Al Yankovic
  10. Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction
  11. This for me is the crowning aspect of the build. Everything about it is awesome, but the back of the neck is just... wow. This is some of the finest inlay/marquetry work I think I've ever seen.
  12. Peter and the Test Tube Babies Question Mark and the Mysterians
  13. Yet Another Song About Weed - Professor Rex
  14. Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo - South Park cast
  15. The only cab I've ever managed to physically damage was my old Laney 4x10 Pro-Bass combo back in the 80s. And that's because it was in the boot of my Viva when I wrote it off by tailending (and completely destroying) a Datsun 120Y.
  16. A Song for Me - Family
  17. Pfft. Pathetic excuse.
  18. Been doing some troubleshooting on my mute switch/tuner output thingy that wasn't behaving as I was hoping. Turns out there was one hair-like strand of a wire that was sticking out from a soldered joint causing an intermittent short to ground. I obviously need to brush up on my wire tinning skills. *slaps self*

  19. Errm... yes. Or no. Something. mummy, my head hurts
  20. Swan Lake - Madness
  21. Yes, but as we've established in the past, you don't actually like anything.
  22. Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) - David Bowie
  23. Quick mock-up
  24. Oh good shout. I bet that would look spot on.
