Here's me in my clobber in the KISS tribute band.... backstage with my lovely wife.

There's an obvious wrong note on the acoustic (?) guitar on Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells....

I personally have never got on with the more recent Warwicks as I've always found the necks to be too thick. I'd love to own an 80's/early 90's Streamer as they have a lovely vibe about them and feel/play/sound so much nicer to my ears.... I had a SUB until about a year ago and I really regret getting rid of it..... Ultimately thought it's personal choice, so do what's right for you

Ooooh! I like the look of the Shuttle 6.0 !

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='119095' date='Jan 12 2008, 12:51 PM']Sounds brilliant... I want one of them - where do you get them from?? [/quote] I got her from a bloke who completely undervalued her and didn't know how to best play with her so let her go..... It was fate, as I was in the market for exactly that model..... in fact I'd been GASing over her for months! She's relicing nicely and improves with age though she is often covered in my sweat after heavy playing... A very tidy investment which I'm not planning to put back on the market ANY time in the foreseeable future!

ebs_freak.... methinks you win the best post in this thread award!! Superb....!!

I think it's more to do with 'instrument placement' in the sound specturm. If your bass is cutting through nicely with a slight mid boost so as not to clash with the guitar/keyboard and you each occupy a slightly different part of the EQ field with tight drums and a clear vocal it matters not if you are playing a Squier or a Spector into a Carlsboro or an EA. The audience will hear the quality of the overall sound, allowing them to pick out individual instruments. However, I agree that if your gear is good quality then it will be more reliable and provide you more opportunity to meet the above requirement.

Tort all the way.... A red tort is nicer than a brown though....

I've been browsing the web/ebay etc and was wondering.... is there really [i]any[/i] difference between a replacement Fender body (painted & finished) that was made in Mexico as opposed to made in the US or Japan? Just getting some project ideas together....

The Hartke ALL the way.....

BEAUTIFUL bass!! Congrats!

I've got a lovely '76..... beautifully ergonomically designed like my Spectors..... very shapely with a full, tight bottom and just enough top end to attract your attention without dominating the mix. VERY easy on the eye & a pleasure to play.....

I purchased a Precision neck from a reputable eBay seller in the States on 24th December. It was shipped to me USPS on the 27th and turned up here yesterday with no charges! Result
