  1. It's amazing what 'giving your basses away for free' to multiple new endorsees will do for a brand's visibility
  2. Ordered a bass from them on Fri 25th November and it arrived, no issues, on Thursday (1st Dec). Taxes, postage etc all included in the bargain price I paid!
  3. About 40 mins for me...
  4. I think Andy has beaten you to it...
  5. No, they're more known for use in rock bands in the mid 80's-mid 90's.
  6. Nope. No bass stands out in that period....
  7. He likely meant the original SUB USA models. Fantastic basses. Pick one up used as soon as you see one advertised!
  8. So, having decided it WAS the blocks I liked, I decided to pimp my Betsy! Saved me £200 and it's lighter with better pickups! Before & after pic:
  9. I thought Lewis Collins was Action Man?
  10. I have that TRC on my Rickenfaker too!
  11. Floyd Pepper based his look on Jeff Skunk Baxter
  12. Do it!!!! Do it!!!! Do it!!!! Do it!!!!
  13. Cheers..... that convinced me to take the plunge. Lake Placid Blue one ordered......!
  14. I really wish they had reversed the P pickup. It also looks quite far back.... I wonder if it weights the same as the J too?
  15. It's all about the influence they had on a whole culture. Young people were enthused, many instruments were picked up, haircuts styled, girls wet themselves etc.... I enjoy their music but wouldn't place them in my Top 100 bands. Imho, George Harrison wrote their best stuff, followed by McCartney (who actually wrote alone a lot of the tracks credited to him and Lennon). The Get Back series on the tellybox recently was an eye opener in that regard..... Lennon had his moments but, due to his 'charisma', is held in undue reverence. YMMV etc.....
  16. Not content with releasing their lovely new J basses, they've now released a PJ version! https://www.thomann.de/gb/search_dir.html?sw=Harley Benton MV-4PJ Gotoh
  17. It's impossible to limit to just 8 so here are the first ones that come to mind... Nimrod - Elgar Last Plane Out - Toy Matinee Love's The Jailer - Lake Take Me Away (Together As One) - Paul Stanley (I've Been) Searchin' So Long - Chicago Girl Can't Help It - Journey Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell My Old School - Steely Dan Book - A photo album of my loved ones Luxury item - A comfy bed
  18. I prefer Wings - "They're only the band the Beatles could have been!"
  19. Clarky sorted me some electronics cavity screws for my Spector. Quick and easy! Cheers chap!
  20. Cheers chap! Yes, they work fine with any strings type. Tame the TP EQ and flavour to taste for less growl and smoother tones with your flats.
  21. Some interesting pieces... https://www.julienslive.com/auctions/catalog/id/443?page=1&catm=any&order=order_num&xclosed=no&featured=no&key=bass
  22. Nope. That's why I specified I wanted authentic copies/
