Pics or it doesn't exist! Not having the bass in your possession is [i]no [/i]excuse.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1450126612' post='2929911'] Isn't it mad how band popularity used to be measured in numbers of records sold. Now it's number of FB likes! [/quote] Both sets of statistics were, and are, routinely manipulated.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1449437453' post='2923587'] [/quote] Love this colour... if it's Shoreline, it's very yellow-looking. Which is a good thing.

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1450196913' post='2930458'] ...I did once wake up with my head in a KFC Bargain bucket. [/quote] There you go, the only way is up from now on.

The trouble with covers is you have to play what the punters want to hear, or you end up with no work. How busy are you? You could stay in this band and join another playing songs you prefer... or join an originals band. Or form your own band... It's probably not a mid-life crisis unless you've already woken up naked in a skip.

Looking very good. I'd prefer a P neck, but hey.

I'm sure it's just a case of tweaking the truss rod, but when I tried Chromes I found the tension so alarming I immediately took them off.

Fantastic work. I couldn't do it though, I'd never get to sleep with the worry.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1450045820' post='2929183'] Black and tort, I've gone quite giddy [/quote] Me too, though probably for an entirely different reason. Very nice P, though.

[quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1450037036' post='2929086'] Someone should grab this [url="http://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/limelight00167jazz.htm"]http://classicandcoo...ht00167jazz.htm[/url] [/quote] That's a really nice one.

Not me, unfortunately. I forgot all about it. D'oh!

[quote name='tredders' timestamp='1449999411' post='2928586'] ...there was also a La Bella PJ hanging up in the shop, but I didn't get the chance to have a go on that. [/quote] I think HJ tried that one and preferred the Lakin.

Sold Steve a Schroeder cab. Have to say I was a little bit reluctant to send it to Greece, but Steve organised a courier from his end, comms were great, everything went very smoothly and I needn't have worried. Fast payer, too! I would deal with him again without hesitation. Recommended!

I like La Bellas.

Got to love sonic with mint guard. Chromes are about the brightest possible flats you can buy, though.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1449942336' post='2928269'] Perhaps the title should be household names of people who are interested and like music. [/quote] Stockhausen.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449939600' post='2928220'] We all think that our own, personal, truth is universal. Often that's not really the case. [/quote] Agreed, but everyone collects eighteenth-century English drinking glasses, don't they? Don't they?

[quote name='James Nada' timestamp='1449939284' post='2928216'] I can't think of a guitarist or drummer (who isnt a also a singer) who I think would be recognised either. [/quote] Hendrix, surely..? And I think possibly Ringo.

Ten doors in a cul-de-sac..? You'd be lucky if any of them could name a single bass player. If you pointed out that McCartney was a bass player they'd know the name, but McCartney was a singer, a songwriter and a Beatle first, second and third and a bass player fourth.

[quote name='tredders' timestamp='1449935649' post='2928161'] You know I said that I really didn't need another bass... [/quote] Go for it - I don't think anyone on this forum seriously believed you.

I've been gawping at this, too. Happy Jack has also tried it and says it's a good thing, so now with your recommendation too I'm inclined to think, er... it's a good thing. Of course Dan also has plenty of previous with Lakland, so it's not like Lakin is an unknown quantity.

Going back to the days when the sky was still dark with pterodactyls, the favoured method of tuning was to use the piano. There was always a piano backstage at every venue. Of course the condition and tuning of the thing was variable to say the least, so some very interesting opening chords were to be heard across the land... and you got good at tuning up [i]during [/i]the first number, but hey...

[quote name='spiltmilk_2000' timestamp='1449786009' post='2926934'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]...both parchment and tort s/ps which I can't decide between! What would you do?[/font][/color] [/quote] Anything but tort. Buy a cream one. Goes very well with Shoreline.

Next time I'm in an Italian restaurant I'm going to order a stimolatore intimo and see what happens.
