Bass_Guardian

Just met up with Jose in Glasgow and easy bass deal and also played it the same night without trying it prior to it. Great wee bass and great bloke and his pals not to bad either

[quote name='mcnach' post='1006245' date='Oct 30 2010, 01:12 PM']True! The very first time I went to Glasgow I went straight to a place in Byres Rd called Little Italy or something like that, to wait for a guy working close by at the uni who had a tasty Fender Vibrochamp for sale. That place became my default place to meet people in town. I'm definitely more of a coffee type than alcohol. I love my ice cold beers, but that's a summer thing for me and let's face it, it's never summer in Scotland! Although last night after our gig I managed to drink my weekly intake in justa few hours Shame about Borders... when the girls went to the n-th shop looking at shoes and clothes, I could escape there for a while to check various books.[/quote] Haha, women...

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='1005940' date='Oct 30 2010, 12:39 AM']Seek... [/quote] I am seeking

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='1005938' date='Oct 30 2010, 12:34 AM']I dunno. Sounds like you might want t J...[/quote] U could be right. Plus i love the shape of the J... Just a pity noone will trade me

[quote name='Count Bassie' post='1005935' date='Oct 30 2010, 12:26 AM']You know, if you were in a spot and had to pick, not knowing what your direction was going to be, that would be my answer too. But... I had a US Jazz and used to crank the neck p'up- I had some kind of dealy where you didn't get hum using a lot more of one pickup- and it was nice and dark, and punchy. If you can get that to happen and you love the look and feel of a Jazz, well that's [i]almost close[/i] to a P, and very much Fender. I think the trick, for my sensibility, is that it sounds like a [u]Fender[/u].[/quote] Its annoying because i love the sound of both basses and i love the feel of both. The P neck doesnt bother me in the slightest which is a plus but i like the versatility of the J.

[quote name='mcnach' post='1005805' date='Oct 29 2010, 09:34 PM']ehhh??? Is Borders no longer there??? It was a routine stop for me every month or so (I stay in Edinburgh), everytime I was going to Glasgow. I even bought a Fender Stratocaster at the Starbucks inside! [/quote] Yeh Borders died a while ago U seem to love ur coffee u always seem to associate yourself in Glasgow with a coffee shop.

[quote name='dub_junkie' post='1005887' date='Oct 29 2010, 11:04 PM']I've got a L-2000 you're welcome to give a try. It was ordered with their #8 neck which is pretty much identical to a jazz (1.5" nut) My L-1500 has the normal L-1500/L-2000 neck (1.75" nut) You're welcome to try that one too. I'm in Kilmarnock so just a 10 minute hop in the car. Let me know if you want to try them cheers Keir[/quote] Sounds good man, ill need to check the ever busy schedule of Alex (me) and whenever ur free etc. Thanks for the invite

Level 42 are well good I wish i was going ...

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1002497' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:26 PM']Just shift the rear strap button up a bit and you get one of the few basses that [b]never[/b] falls over. ...Although I fear this info may be wasted on someone who time and again leaves his bass unattended in the way that it usually falls over from. [/quote] We're not all as lucky as u to be able to make such a stunning bass such as ur pingray

Hi thanks folk for all the help but im no longer looking for headstock decals Thanks again

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='1002580' date='Oct 27 2010, 03:20 PM']Could just make your own, if you have a access to colour inkjet printer it's really easy. A sheet of clear waterslide decal paper is about £3 and you can get about 10 or more decals on it I have a .pub or .jpg document with J, P and Tele Bass logos on if you fancy? I just googled the logos and saved the image, then cleaned it up in an image editing program Results are exactly the same as what you'd spend a tenner on from eBay[/quote] That would be good mate just give me a pm.

[quote name='silddx' post='1002546' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:55 PM']They are very easy to apply, so don't listen to the hamfisted Email this guy and ask for what you need. I have used his decals and they are excellent! [url="http://thedecalshop.co.uk/"]http://thedecalshop.co.uk/[/url] Cheers.[/quote] Ive given the nice man an e-mail

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='1002524' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:40 PM']In the US but possibly what you're looking for: [url="http://www.guitarcentro.com/search.php?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=decal&submit_search=Search"]http://www.guitarcentro.com/search.php?ord...t_search=Search[/url][/quote] That might just hit the spot...

[quote name='Wil' post='1002484' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:18 PM']None taken I'm a shoot first, ask questions later sort of person when it comes to DIY... much to the detriment of said decal.[/quote] Haha im pretty rubbish with arts and crafts things so its a no no for me doing it

Is there anyone on this forum who can apply headstock decals professionally? No offense Wil

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1002472' date='Oct 27 2010, 02:10 PM']There's a guy on ebay with TheClash in his name who does very decent repros.[/quote] I cant find him

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1002446' date='Oct 27 2010, 01:55 PM']From the FAQ's on Fender.com:[/quote] Thanks mate. Right now unofficial headstock decals?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1002440' date='Oct 27 2010, 01:50 PM']Official ones? From the manufacturer.[/quote] Right and are they sent out or do u need to go through the hassle of sending the bass to them? Sorry for all the questions

I was wondering how u would get a hold of official headstock decals ( for basses ). Any shop names?prices? Thanks in advance Alex
