Serious or not, he's only saying what the rest of us are thinking.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' post='1295913' date='Jul 7 2011, 01:04 PM'](Whispering very, very quietly) I once did. Even worse, I've seen Cliff Richard, admittedly with the Shadows. My big sisters made me. [/quote] I'll see your Cliff Richard, and raise you Black Lace! BTW I love hearing slap bass - I feel that one of the main purposes of bass guitar is to make people want to dance, and slap does that for me. Unfortunately, I can't actually do it very well at all despite years of trying!

Rory Gallagher - Laundromat or Bullfrog Blues (with bass solo!)

For sale – the following three effects pedals: - Electroharmonix Mini Q-tron - Electroharmonix Big Muff - Tech 21 Bass Compactor They each come with a mains adaptor and Velcro on the bottom. The EHX pedals also have adaptor cables for a Diago power station. A few scratches on the face of the EHX pedals but they function perfectly. Looking for £35 each incl.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I am looking to sell my Yamaha BB1100s, bought new in 1987. It was gigged regularly over the next few years and underwent the following modifications in the late eighties/early nineties: - brass/bone nut - OBL pickups - Schaller bridge - Hipshot D-tuner - Pickup selector replaced with pan switch After buying a Kubicki bass in 1992, I had the frets taken out of this one, realised I couldn't play fretless and put it in the loft. Fast forward to the present day. It has now had a new maple fretboard and a general spruce up. It has a few dings – mainly on the base of the body and the end of the headstock – but still looks and sounds great. I am looking for £350 (was £400), which will cover the cost of the latest mods! This includes a hard case covered in lots of stickers from the 80's. No trades – sorry.

Great pictures. Didn't realise that the early P's had the strings through body feature.

The bassline still sounds like Jaco - Even on a keyboard!

I would suggest speaking to the drummer and asking him how he thinks that it's going. Interesting how you get used to someone over time, though. A drummer who I have played in several bands with depped with my current band the other week. The rest of the band commented that he tended to slow down - I've never noticed!! S**t - does that make me a fraud too?
-
For me, the old style pickguard only looks 'right' with the pickup cover on. Shame they didn't do that for this bass.
-
My Jazz has a J-Retro, a Badass bridge and a D-tuner. That's about £400 worth. I also can't speak highly enough of the J-Retro - AND I didn't ask for the discount!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1239951' date='May 22 2011, 07:48 AM']Get one of everything that's the best bet IMO [/quote] The Holy trinity? I quite like that idea.

I would keep my right thumb on the low B, and keep everything simple.

[quote name='EddyGlee' post='1238010' date='May 20 2011, 11:49 AM']certainly wouldn't wack a J-Retro in a 73 .. sacrilege! [/quote] I must admit that I don't really understand this argument. Like many, I would love a vintage Fender. However, I would then be happy to make some non-intrusive mods so it plays and sounds as good as it can be - and then go out and enjoy playing it! I think that collectors can get a bit anal about the value of instruments as an investment - I mean, even a pre-cbs would not give you enough to retire on would it?

[quote name='silddx' post='1236895' date='May 19 2011, 01:31 PM']buy and fit a John East J-Retro 01 preamp. [/quote] +1. I can't tell you what a massive difference this has made to my sound (and playing) in just a few short weeks.

I bet Mustang Sally sounds the business on that bass.

I have always thought that most music shops would benefit from being firebombed! However, it is always a pleasure dealing with the Bass Merchant. Nothing is too much trouble.
