Ah! I remember those days in the school playground - behind the bi-cut

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1413021072' post='2574188'] I wonder what the stuff that comes off is? I guess it could be some sort of residue from the polishing process, as I've noticed it on flats and groundwounds, but not on rounds. [/quote]Yes - residue/s from the winding machine's lubrication & the polishing processes. I've had it on rounds too, especially those fitted standard on Traben basses.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1412954659' post='2573651'] Ashdown have always been spot-on with regards to customer care! Good lads & lasses for sure Si [/quote]+1 Excellent customer care & if/when you 'phone their technical dept. you get someone who really knows what they're talking about too!

Aha! Yes you spoke about the G&L, perhaps that'll scratch the itch

What happened to your lovely custom P?

Well - I didn't hear any 'bass' on that clip

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1412933513' post='2573376'] Looks like a nice thing. It's a bit more than I wanted to spend, really. But it's a nice thing! Something a bit 'Wal' about it. Like you say, my problem is how to try the number of Warwicks I need to try to be able to make a proper decision. [/quote]Definitely, for me it is a bit different to the other Warwicks, but still retains their individuality, I'm not so keen on the flatish fretboard, (20" they say) or the big frets, but certainly a good player & some sweet tones.

This pops ups on google:- http://www.rock-gear.de/index.php?cl=details&anid=450e978a15ed55c8807319695f17d602&lang=1&&cur=1 Burgundy Red is nice this time of year definitely worth trying but I don't know where you'd be able to

No Mark, full 34" but the SG like body is lost on my belly

+1 - I forgot about the Jack Bruce signature Warwick - by far the best Warwick I ever tried & not the £4k+ model [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6ItzZoB0SQ[/media] Or even - [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnAV2LKda1w[/media] Edit: But they're too small for me

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1412890385' post='2573153'] FWIW. La Bellas are sticky out of the packet. Bear with them and they smooth out wonderfully. [/quote]Top tip!? When I get new flats of any make I give them a really good rubbing down with cotton pad soaked in Surgical Spirits - you might not believe the shyte that comes off them & it seems to smooth them off before starting to use them. Some are worse than others, but I always give them a clean before fitting, then after first use a going over with Fast Fret, use that a few times while the strings are still quite fresh, then perhaps once every 6 months.

I rate Status Hot Wire Flats very highly & they must be best VFM at £20ish posted, I've just put a new set on my Roger Waters P, very happy with them. I've had them on my HW1 P for a few years now & they're nicely run in still as good as new

Fond memories of the time - especially Crystal Palace garden parties, Pink Floyd in 71 & Yes in 72, going back even further the Hyde Park free concerts

There's a big old thread about these mystery holes somewhere - I'll have a search

Looks good, no idea of the make sorry - but I could certainly make a wiring kit for it

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1412377382' post='2568517'] Joe was a really nice guy! He plays bass in a cool band called Polymath...

http://peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/0/116598/ Does exactly what you need I've had one a good few years & wouldn't change it for anything

Glad you're sorted - looks lovely

Great video/interview - I worried for your lovely P getting chucked around so much

My pleasure to start a new thread for a fine new member Andy replied to an offer I put up - a set of practically new strings - for a £5 donation to basschat. We exchanged some jolly PMs, Paypal done & the strings were sent. I added a bit to the donation & passed on to Ped, everyone's a winner. Great guy to deal with, no hesitation in recommending him to all & look forward to dealing with again. Cheerz, John

I made a vintage style P-bass wiring kit for Simon, great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with, great basschatter. Cheerz, John

I made a wiring kit for Darren's P-bass, great communication & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1412180354' post='2566543'] ... Yeah, but was it still in tune..? [size=4] [/size] [/quote]Well - it came with a key & a spanner - but it wasn't in key
