Thanks everyone I'm on the case, hopefully!

We've been asked for a copy of our PAT certificates for a gig next weekend. Never been asked before & we play mostly in pubs . Probably a good idea but we don't have any such thing. Is this something pub bands should have?

Great stuff , will be getting piccies?

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1368748020' post='2081163'] What are the chances of two guys on here from Paisley both with 57RI P basses? [/quote] I've been to Paisley, bought basses from Jezza, and got a Squier 57 JV with one of those strange strap buttons! Weird huh! Oh I've never tried using the button, but I may now.

Trivia - the " Joey the Lips" part was originally written with the late great Rory Gallagher in mind as a roadworn, played with legends guitarist. Rory declined the offer to play the part, so it was rewritten for "lips" Rory's bassman Gerry McAvoy played a bass ,( the right way up)., like the one in the picture. One of The Corrs was in the film. They are all Irish. Obv.

I like it as it is , but I really like what you're proposing to do with it - it looks fantastic and it's all part of its story.Bin the Jazz pickup nanananana! ( Although I do like the Humbucker/Jazz combo on my Squier Tele Bass- maybe not a great comparison!)

Good luck - I didn't play let alone gig for nearly 10 years. " Hey , let's get the band together for a one off charity gig!!" I wasn't keen , but we did it , about 30-40 mins I think. I was bricking it, and would've run away if I could've.. However, it was a blast and we were buzzing/rattling, and we're still doing it , as best we can ,5 years later. We've even learned some new stuff!!! All the best - Have Fun(der)!!

About 30 years!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1367062939' post='2060793'] Which bass? What medium scale? What kind of bridge? It will make a difference. [/quote] Good points - rubbish question! Back of the class for me It's a Squier VM Telecater bass , 32" scale , stock bridge which is a 4 saddle Fendery job

[i]Maybe this is covered , but I can't find ....[/i] [i]What strings for a medium scale bass - just get long scale ones & cut a big bit off?[/i]

Come on - it's got to move northward!!!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1366888413' post='2058516'] I can't see her lol to be honest. [/quote] Probably just as well.

What's wrong with just thumping out a few root notes, for hours? Works for a lot of successful bassplayers?

If Joe Cocker played bass....

[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1366796591' post='2057379'] Just thought I'd make sure we've all seen this version...

I did watch it without any sound first time , and it was , well, a bit disturbing. Not recommended . Much better with sound. Drummers got a good seat .... [/quote] See what I said about better with sound ......

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366795940' post='2057371'] I was just about to say that ya bugger! Drummer has the best view in rock! [/quote] Form a orderly queue for his job! Is she the gal that used to be in "Friends"?

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1366646788' post='2055413'] Sounds like its right up my street, just not sure i like the cut of its jib :/ [/quote] [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1366648459' post='2055452'] The more I look at it the more I like it! [/quote] That's a quick turnaround is it not? It's really growing on me too - quick call a doctor!!!!!

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1366218655' post='2049799'] Here is a pic of my Mustang bass bridge. I have returned it to the shop due to it being out of line. What do you Mustang owners think? [attachment=132765:SAM_0651.JPG] [attachment=132766:SAM_0647.JPG] [attachment=132767:SAM_0652.JPG] [/quote] You got one then! Apart from the bridge what do you think?

Status Quo - Live at 02 Glasgow . March 2013 Justin Timberlake's latest Vintage Trouble- The Bomb Shelter Sessions Rory Gallagher - Top Priority Poulo Nutini - Sunny side up

I like basses. I like having then , I like looking at them, I like holding them,I like stroking them. I sometimes even play them!

Great pic! Bystander bemused by ant chance?
