discreet

Right that's it, I'm taking up the Kazoo. Bloody royals. All that public money and they can't even be bothered to keep their hair.

A superb period Jazz indeed. I'm particularly drooling over the pickguard, Really lovely lush bit of proper tort, that is!

Excellent. If you ever get bored with it, let me know...

Seymour Duncan SPB-1.

Honest and good... yes, I suppose we are.

Dammit! I was meant to win that! ...well done.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1431942315' post='2776335'] I have learnt that my Berg AE112s are dreadfully inferior to the CN112, which apparently is also quite a rubbish sound. [/quote] I've not used them myself but given their reputation, I can't imagine ANY Berg cab being inferior to anything, much! Sound is very subjective, and one man's dulcet heavenly choir of vestal virgins is another man's elephant being rogered with a chainsaw. Your mileage may vary...

Something from Dylan's 'Tempest'?

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1431930045' post='2776195'] ...there was a guy pointing out that the pickup surround is crooked in relation to the pickguard. I measured it and he's right, it's 1mm out. Thanks dude, not! [/quote] He obviously doesn't understand that it's little quirks like this that give Rics their charm and unique individuality, or something.

You're probably going to get as many different answers as there are members, but my 2p is that a good 2X12 (or two 1X12s) will do you.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1431854807' post='2775507'] Your naivety is adorable [/quote] I said 'think', therefore I am not done...

I don't blame him for trying to hide it.

I really do think I'm done! With the emphasis on the 'think'. I still like to look at things of course and keep up to speed on what's about, but having spent years (and quite a lot of cash) amassing the gear I think I need, the process needs to stop. If I had unlimited cash then it wouldn't matter, but I haven't! I think for quite a few of us who remember when 'affordable' bass gear meant 'unplayable' bass gear, the process of constant upgrading was logical and desirable, but that has long fallen by the wayside. I'm sure most players on this forum could easily do what they need to do with a half-decent Squier. Budget basses are no longer terrible, and it's a good time to be a novice player what with all the choice and all the support available online. Eeeh, when I were a lad you had a couple of magazines and newspapers with pictures of bass gear in them, a crappy local shop that had rubbish bass gear in it, and that was that. You could only dream of owning a Fender or Gibson or Gretsch or Shergold... these basses represented around three month's wages for the average worker, and were well out of reach of spotty youths such as myself...

There's more than enough of it here, all right.

[quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1431815918' post='2775338'] The white one has a couple of gaps in the neck pocket which is a shame considering the black one is flawless. [/quote] That just makes it a very authentic 70s RI... white, black and maple is just the best P colour combo.

What's that little thumb-rest made from and how is it fixed to the bass?
