There Ain't Nothing Like Shagging - The Tams

I’ve just seen a bass for sale on Facebook that I would say is way overpriced. £1800 for a MIJ Fender fotoflame! I swear these were generally not much more than £400 not so many years ago. Anyone else seen any examples recently of over ambitious pricing (not including vintage Fenders because we know that’s just the market)?

That I get! 😂 I'll give that info a little time tonight, thanks you guys, I appreciate the interest and help!

I know - in 100 years time people will be ascribing magical qualities to fender Japan 62 reissues made of bog standard poplar. it makes me laugh

Looks more like Gloss to me chief. I’ll get my Kaftan.

Ooh, a Lee Morgan album I haven’t heard! Thanks for the link.

Hello! I received this bass as a gift from my mother (RIP) for Christmas at twelve years old. It was stolen from me a few years later. I am searching to buy another, and it has been a difficult item to find. Any leads on one for sale would be great. It would be nice to find the original, but I'm sure that will not happen. Cheers!

The Tunnel Of Love - Fun BoyThree

The Guy Pratt Bass line on this Jimmy Nail track is pretty hooky. Well, mainly the intro/outro and chorus':

Carousel - Mr Bungle

Rollercoaster - RHCP

Hold Tight - Bread

Encore 1980's Red Copycaster. It was sitting there mocking me, with 2 to many strings on it. And so I decided to free it from guitar land. Snagged some hardwear from @Jabba_the_gut on here [thank you] and set to work ruining fixing the Bass Guitar. My luthier skills are akin to shed building, but I was determined to make a playable shorty for grins. It plays "ok" and sounds like a weird strat, you can't dig in much, but for noodling at the open mic it works fine. intonation was a chore, and whoever designed those bridge saddles needs shooting, they look the part, but eff me! setting them up was madness 🫠. Cut out the body to get to the truss rod, who wants to take the bloody neck of to do that? idiots. Big Hole where the wammy bar used to live, filled that up with real wood. The Fat Strat and the Quarter Pounder pups sound pretty decent actually. Its gonna need a string tree and the nut needs sorting, but I an happy and thats what counts. 😀 There, all better now, hanging out with it's mate. Then I decided I was 19 again.

Guitar guitar have some in stock

Nothing more whiter 🙂 glad it’s being used Matt.

I think these words can help us all as we navigate relationships. Basschat is as much a social outlet for me as the pub was (I’ve sort of given up the social drinking now as I didn’t enjoy it). Best of luck getting back on your feet Lee. One of my best friends is going though this and a few of us are helping him any way we can. I’m a bit strapped for cash but if i can help with equipment let me know. I’ve got all manner of leads, tuners, few pedals and things I’d be happy to help you out with.

Every Which Way But Loose - Eddie Rabbitt

Even if the strings are new, a poor break angle / witness point could potentially cause this issue.

No more messing about with flobbly wet melodic bass nonsense!

Misty - Errol Garner

Nice. Well I guess that settles it, can definitely get that tone on a Jazz ...or a Stingray, and probably a P! 'all in the fingers' n'all that.
