I supplied Lee with a P-bass wiring kit, absolute pleasure to deal with all the way, no problem recommending him to all, great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

Luvly jubly - postie's just been great gesture from Jason & Rotosound - many thanks to them. Cheerz to Mark for sorting

What they fail to mention is that it might have been worth £20,000 if it had been restored properly

Hey Steve, These are the ones for 1/4" Solid Shaft, unfortunately out of stock now,[url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Tele_Chrome_Flat-Top_Knob_USA_Fit_TBKCA"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Tele_Chrome_Flat-Top_Knob_USA_Fit_TBKCA[/url] You have to be careful - a lot of knobs are for 6mm shafts & won't fit CTS Solid Shaft pots, some adverts don't state hole size. Fender packets come up on ebay: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Genuine-Fender-Barrel-Knobs-Tele-P-Bass-Chrome-/300602129453?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item45fd487c2d#ht_3401wt_934"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Genuine-Fender-Barrel-Knobs-Tele-P-Bass-Chrome-/300602129453?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item45fd487c2d#ht_3401wt_934[/url] proper job but not cheap!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1328481745' post='1527966'] That's correct except that it's purchase price plus carriage [u]plus insurance[/u] if you have any. [/quote] I was reckoning on insurance being in with the carriage but you're right if it's not inclusive.

So it's going to cost you £883ish - how much is the same bass, best price here in UK?

Purchase price & carriage + 3.7% then VAT 20% + approx £12 customs - IIRC

I'm a long time Floyd fan - since the early days - free concerts & all Saw Think Floyd a few years ago in Hastings & Horsham, can't remember how much tickets were but they really impressed me with the quality, sound, lights, effects, ambience - the lot! I'd say it's worth £33, 'cos you ain't ever going to see the real deal now are you?

TBH I really liked the track, playing my 51P along with - sounded fine to me, so I'll go #4 P with a pick Good stuff

Great JJB interview & some good video but much too short

[quote name='Thurbs' timestamp='1328255703' post='1524361'] Wow some interesting wattages quoted there. I practice with a LB 30w valve amp and the BFB Midget-t 112. You are not shaking the foundations but perfectly audible. IMHO practice shouldn't be about volume and also tends to mask a multitude of sins. I like to practice at just over talking levels so you don't need ear protection and have the clarity and definition of all instruments. I tried this with a rock band once and had some interesting results. I got everyone to try it out for one rehearsal, they were so uncomfortable about the clarity and space given that they thought our playing was "wrong". When I repeatedly questioned what this meant they both could'nt articulate anything specific, just that it was wrong. We then turned up to stupid levels, played the same songs as well if not slightly worse than before and they felt so much better. Doing this made me realise how for some people playing is just as much about the 'feel' rather than the 'technical' part of playing. Whilst I am barely better than a beginner, I try to approach making music with both in mind. Having said that, as the DB is much more of a physical instrument, I do tend to 'feel' playing it more than the BGs I have, but the feeling isn't about volume as amplifying them is a real challenge! Do you need loads of watts to play well? [/quote] I couldn't agree more Thurbs! I don't think I could even think at the volume levels some people seem to be suggesting by their recommendations for 'practise' gear

Do you remember Fablon?

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1327683115' post='1515391'] G &L? Sandberg? Lakland? Dingwall? Spector? Not heard many Qc related gripes about any of these.Then there's the likes of Status, Vigier, Modulus, Alembic, Sadowsky and so on. Btw, has anyone ever had a naff Yamaha? [/quote] If you add the total sales from all of the above together - they probably don't come near 5% of the numbers that Fender have sold, so the law of averages says - there's bound to be a few slip through

Good looking K bass, on the surface - bargain?

Yes please - love to give them a go! Cheerz, John

Do you or a mate have a multimeter? Like Lozz said above - but you can do some checks without taking anything apart - check the bridge is connected to ground. I'd happily have a look at it for you, but it's a long way between us. Cheerz, John

Great informative programme, I saw it 1st time round a couple of months ago. I worked for Vox around that time in the Hastings factory/ies, made a few visits up to Dartford or Erith, those were the days Cheerz, John
