[quote name='Gazza 2905' timestamp='1320690271' post='1430092'] I assume that most of us have been in this situation at least once in our bass playing lives. A friend comes round to your house one evening... [/quote] Not happened yet!!

I've been gigging with just one bass for a while now although I do now own two basses. I've never broken a string in all the years I've been playing. I wonder how many take a spare amp for back up? I remember my old Ampeg going bang at the start of a gig, luckily I had an ABM500 with me.

We play regularly at a pub where there's very little seating. Its always pact with punters who go out to watch a live band but as there always holding a pint they cant clap! They just give approving nods and tap the sides of the glass. Theres lots of foot tapping and nodding along and its obvious the set is going down well but at the end of the song its virtually silent.

This time last year my diary was very healthy for 2011. I think there were over fifty gigs booked with three different bands. (Previous years I'd be gigging around 100 times a year). Then it all goes t1ts up with all bands leaving me practically jobless and very skint!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1320514733' post='1427862'] it's just a shame that a large percentage of it is obscured by that horrible big white plastic scratchplate & chrome control plate. [/quote] Stingray lovers worldwide are taking aim!

Absolute beauty! I certainly miss my '73 Precision. +1 For the white scratch plate.

[quote name='bob_pickard' timestamp='1320440372' post='1427031'] If the tone on the candy red production models is anything like my duck dunn special edition (same pickups) you'll love it - think p bass with more depth and roundedness - really buttery highs as well - i love it [/quote] What Bob Said!! Fantastic basses.

I know, sweet colour. I was very very tempted with one being sold by AMS in Pool but I decided to buy a Lakland. I'd imagine these will be a great secondhand bargain in a year or two.

[quote name='Chris2112' timestamp='1318327136' post='1400497'] It's a P bass, for a start! [/quote] Didnt you buy a Kubicki once?

And bought Andy's ABM 4x10 which he delivered to my door! Top man, cheers mate
