Bit of a bargain!

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1340963667' post='1712031'] Ha! Best post for a long while! [/quote] I thank yew, glad it wasn't wasted

Actually listening to the guy 'tapping' Stairway to Heaven aggravates me because I hear a lot of missing bass line, what's the point of trying to be clever - on a bass - & not playing the bass part 'properly' (as I expect to hear it). I have to say Fret w***er extraordinaire

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1340961536' post='1711990'] Is this in a similar vein? [media]http://youtu.be/BFaT69CyyKU[/media] [/quote] You could say that Muff on bass

I can't see any mention above of DiMarzio's I reckon a DP127 might just give you exactly what sound you're searching for, I replaced the Fender original in my '57AV, which had the raised A poles, fitted the DP127W & wouldn't go back. They have a range & clarity I've not found with anything else. It compliments the maple neck brightness, I'm sure it would be slightly more mellow with a rosewood board. I thought of replacing the '62AV original with a black one, but the '62 tone is actually 'just right' for me. I'm using GHS precision flats on both P's BTW & LB30 rig, the Bass Shift switch gives a quick change from deep down old school Jamerson to more 80's hard rock . I play fingers mostly, with a very low action, experiment with picks at times though [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/dimarzio_dp127_wh.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/dimarzio_dp127_wh.htm[/url] Not expensive for what you get IMO & so much sweeter than the SD 1/4lb. Cheerz, John

Tina any day thanks she grooves

[quote name='surfinbernard' timestamp='1340902116' post='1711348'] KiOgon thanks, nice suggestion. Love your avatar pic, my hero! [/quote] I first tried a AV2H whatever in my local shop & was well impressed, even at £400 +, I couldn't get a Fender thinline at the time. Then I searched around & found them for less than 1/2 shop price, bit of a bargain if you can find one cheap like The Humbuckers & the roll off to single coil makes them very versatile & IMO knock spots off a Squier. Edit: There's one [url="http://www.dv247.com/b-stock/vintage-advance-av2h-honey-burst-flame-b-stock--94579"]http://www.dv247.com...-b-stock--94579[/url] Another one: [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/DISC-Vintage-Advance-AV2H-Electric-Guitar-NFM/7ED"]http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/DISC-Vintage-Advance-AV2H-Electric-Guitar-NFM/7ED[/url] Lot more money but it's got some spec & a foto

I've got a Vintage AV2 'thinline tele' & it's excellent, not that I'm an expert but IMO it's a lovely thing for notalot of squids [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/Catalogue/Guitars/vintageadv_2010_web.pdf"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/Catalogue/Guitars/vintageadv_2010_web.pdf[/url]

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1340887542' post='1711052'] If it is the same place [and it does sound like it] Yes in 1992. Garry [/quote] Small world I was a Regional Engineer, BWI, with Cable & Wireless. Cayman was fabulous, I used to spend as long there as I could get away with diving/swimming/fishing/messing about on boats every day

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1340883920' post='1710960'] Is that the same place as the Old Durty Reid's Palace ? I think it got knocked down, or something rebuilt there. Sounds like fun with the sharks though. Garry [/quote] Yes that's probably what it was called, I'm talking about early 1990s, I remember it was out of town on the way up East I think. Used to go & watch big screen sports at weekends with platters of burgers & ice cold beers, it was a hard job I've got some old maps & stuff I'll dig out. Have you been there?

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1340880784' post='1710873'] thats what i thought wehen i first saw them but they are dolphins - peale's i believe [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andypollard/5512090728/"]http://www.flickr.co...ard/5512090728/[/url] - they do have killer whales out there but i guess the whales only come in that close if there is a tasty seal snack at the waters edge [/quote] I sit corrected When I worked in Cayman it was great fun feeding chicken carcasses from the beach to the sharks that came in every evening for the ritual, out the back of Dirty Reid's cafe

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1340877202' post='1710792'] I've found this : [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-GDC-6-Coffre-Rack/dp/B000NZOCQK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_MI_7"]http://www.amazon.co...pd_sim_sbs_MI_7[/url] which might fit the bill nicely [/quote] I like that - but it's 3 times the price of the Chord

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1340876471' post='1710767'] indeed thats exactly why i posted the other thread so we could all have a good old whinge and then come to this thread for calm reflection here's a nice picture of some dolphins which i took earlier. 22 years earlier to be more precise [/quote] Dolphins? Killer whales more like

I got a Chord a while ago - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/[/url] it doesn't 'lock them in' at all but I've never had a problem with.

It's a NO from me, TBH I would never have known it was Muse obviously I'm not a follower but not for me whoever.

Cheerz WOT - I can see that now! thanks for explaining When in PMs the Members tag is highlighted as you say, I've never noticed that before, but when I press View New Content from PMs & get the Members list, the Members tag is not highlighted so next press & it reverts to Forums it seems.

Yeah big shout for Status Flat Hot Wires too, excellent value, feelgood compared to GHS - LaBella's - TI Jazz all at twice the price.

[quote name='geoffbyrne' timestamp='1340747700' post='1709210'] Anything like the 9120's - and are they OK for 35" scale (Yammy TRB)? G. [/quote] GHS Black Nylons are really sweet, not as huge as Rotosounds & definitely fine for 35" scale, I had them on my Skjold, also strung through on Fenders, no problems, highly recommended. They're much smoother/flatter than 9120s, not so shiny or 'plasticy' much nicer strings IMHO. Cheerz, John

Nothing to do with Kindle - but I think there's something strange about the members list, every time I've used Personal Message, if I then click on the 'View New Content' button it always takes me to the Members List, latest members, until I click View New Content a second time. That's on my PC, Chrome, Windows XP & Laptop with Vista.

WoW! great road trip girls by the sound of it, all we ever hear of that us blokes seem to do is meet up in dodgy car parks & swap basses for money (usually)

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1340620332' post='1706979'] I was sure there'd be apps using the camera to check string height, neck relief, etc, but haven't found one so far. [/quote] Now that would be some tool!
