    Sorry, totally missed that first time through!

    Any good (might be too pricey?) http://www.harvest-guitar.com/en/Bass-Bag-Short-Scale-oxid/

    I had an Ibanez SR600 and changed from B-G to E-C and didn’t need to do any work to the nut. I switched the strings to Dunlop Superbrights 30-130 (donating the low B to a friend). Gauges were 30, 45, 65, 85, 105 and works no problem.

    I recently got the TMB-100 for travelling (Id rather chuck that in the hold, it’s easily replaced!) and those dodgy gigs where drinks are flying etc. I have to say it’s a really impressive little bass. I’m already starting to think of it becoming a project bass, maybe having a Capri orange nitro refin and upgrading the pickups but overall it’s tonally versatile and looks quite smart too! I imagine the 600 will be really nice. Ibanez quality is always really decent once you get to the level (like the SR500/600 range are fantastic value for money too!)

    My CIJ Geddy Lee is a shadow of its former self. It now has lollipop tuners, concentric tone knobs and Aguilar AG4J-HC pickups... I’m not welcome in some places ‘round town!

    A MIM Argos 😉

    Sunburst plus white = Argos lol. Plus, the heel access truss rod space looks silly with just wood underneath. Stick with black!

    I don’t know because I’ve never bought one but that’s about the only legit reason I can think of! I’m with you, seems like a bit of a waste of time tbh

    Because they’re great for practicing fretwork and refinishing etc on without caring if you mess it up?

    Finally got mine today. Giving it a run out tomorrow!

    No worries!

    You’ve stated Iron Ether in the listing but no price in the post. Could you PM details if you’re selling?

    My latest solo looping video. Hope you all like it!

    To be fair it’s been the same for years. Dunlop/MXR release pedals at NAMM, set a preorder date way too close to NAMM and then fail to meet the date. I went through exactly the same thing with the Dirty Donny swollen pickle and a couple of other NAMM releases from Dunlop/MXR.

    I think you might have misunderstood. He used in-store vouchers (not cash) to pre-order a pedal that has been delayed (as pre-order items often do, due to production schedule delays). The vouchers were then used to buy alternatives as store credit is rarely given back as cash and Thunderpaws was also quite happy with this. I doubt GG we’re at fault in any way, it’s their supplier who has delayed the product shipment.

    Followed my order up for it today and was told that it’s on the first UK shipment due to land mid-April. The UK distributors of Dunlop/MXR are always slow at getting NAMM product shipments so I expected the march estimated delivery date to get knocked back a few times. Time will tell!

    Here are my two... Octaver is Japanese and s/n 171300, the Octave is Taiwan and s/n ZA02357. Both in Newcastle!

    It’s also probably worth mentioning that because Ibanez is distributed in the UK by Headstock Distribution, they don’t have access to all Ibanez models. So what Ibanez present at NAMM might be the range that will be distributed in the US territory but Headstock might not be able to distribute the same models here in the UK.

    Kestrel bass, I think. At the time I was working in a music store and we tried to join the hype that they whipped up just before the release by ordering models for the store. Got told they were coming for months and then never turned up so we cancelled the order. In between, a few models got out and experienced similar wiring issues and poor reviews. Seems like an after-thought from PRS really, which is such a shame because the guitars were always great!

    Contacted John about a loom. Great service and had the loom incredibly quickly. Easy to fit and works great. Thanks again!

    Slap is certainly not dead. Depends where you look, as it seems pretty main stream on YouTube, where every other video seems to be a product demo consisting mostly of slap!

    [quote name='LZD56' timestamp='1506070913' post='3376209'] Interesting feature yesterday in No Treble including a rare live performance of Shadows & Light with Joni Mitchell, featuring a much more laid back Jaco. http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2017/09/21/jaco-pastorius-30-years-later/ [/quote] You can buy shadows and light live on DVD/Bluray :-)

    I had to use one because Kevin Dean was already taken...

    Why put '£70 ONO' if you then get offered £65 & £100 and accept £100. Any idiot can tell you that £65 is nearer to £70 than £100 is to £70!

    For me, you should view every weakness as an opportunity. The biggest weakness of TAB is the lack of information you get. The best thing about this is that in order to get the same end result as reading the dots to a tune, you have to use your ears to help you fill the gaps. It's a great chance to mix-up your ear training!
