What a stonker, both before and after the  upgrade

Thanks everyone, BC comes through yet again. I'll be keeping my eyes open for an early SR300, unless there are any higher spec SR models with a PJ setup ? 

Thanks again all  

Hi all

I've recently set up my SR500, that a fast and comforable neck is a revelation, feels so easy in the hand. However, I often do performances that need sounds I'd get from a P bass, or PJ combination

This leads to several questions;

- Is there an Ibanez bass that has the SR neck and a PJ pickup configuration ?

- If there is such a bass, are the pickups close to the positions of a PJ bass relative to the position of the bridge ?

- Are the pickups exchangable for aftermarket pickups for P and J basses ?

If I weren't committed elsewhere I'd be all over this, been looking for one for ages

Bought a banjo from Keith at a really nice price, good condition too. Keith even arranged to have it delivered for easy collection for me, what a decent chap. 

Thanks Keith, top man

Bought a cab from Tim. He went the extra mile with communication and packing, couldn't ask for more

Thanks Tim, a pleasure

Just checked his discography, he recorded 43 No 1 singles, what a career

We all do gigs that after a while just blend one into the other, but last night was an evening I'll never forget.

The band has set up and were relaxing in a side room when the drummer looked through the window and shot out of his chair like a rocket.  We all followed him to the front door and met Clem Cattini and his wife, Clem was the drummer of the Tornados, the group that recorded Telestar, one of the sound tracks of my childhood

Clem was the complete gentleman, he signed the drummer's Ludwig drum and talked with us for ages. Clem recorded Shaking All Over, No milk today (Hermans Hermits), early Kinks tracks and dozens of other famous songs in the 60's. He introduced John Lennon to BIlly Fury when the Beatles were the Silver Beatles, the list goes on and on. 

It was his birthday the day before, so we sang happy birthday for him, he looked genuinely pleased. At the end of the night Clem thanked us for playing and said how much he enjoyed the band, I'll never forget how friendly he is how he just talked with us all as if he was one of the gang. He's written a book about his career which I've ordered this morning

God bless you Clem, thank you for a memorable evening which I'll never forget
