I'd been fancying one of these myself and did some research. Apparently, on the strap, the headstock makes for the floor? I'd be interested to know if that's the case.

I understand your frustration. We've been looking for a singer for about 4 months now and in that time we've auditioned a guy who sang really well at first rehearsal - got a txt later saying he couldn't join the band as he had clinical depression. A girl with a really nice voice but not powerful enough. A guy who'd been doing screamo and couldn't sing anything without screaming. A guy who sang really well at first rehearsal, got an e mail after telling us we had to change the set coz he didn't like it, we couldn't rehearse where we always do coz he didn't like it, if I was gonna do backing vocals then I had to learn them outside of rehearsal coz.....yes, you guessed it...coz he didn't like it. So, I've reluctantly been singing lead and playing bass to try and keep us all together. Patience is the answer, we had a reply to our ad recently a guy who has sung with the same band (who have just split) after 17 years, up and down the country and in Europe, loves our set, knows a lot of the material, appears keen as mustard and drinks Jack Daniels. I'll let you know if he's as good as he says he is!!!!!!

That's an impressive groove and she sure does feel it......fnah

I noticed that deal in this months Lozz (good article on Yolanda Charles). Since I'm giving the owner of the local shop lessons I can't bring myself to get BGM anywhere other than his shop!

I have a Blacktop 'P' on which I immediately changed the strings to Ernie Hybrid's which are my favourite and I'm very pleased with the sound. This is the 2nd Blacktop, the first when delivered had a dead pup (can't remember which one) straight out of the box so it went back to Sounds Live and they sent me another which was fine. Don't want to teach you to suck eggs but have you tried each pup solo? LC

I prefer the modern C shaped neck on a Precision. They have a slimmer (front to back) profile that the chunky cricket bat necks found on some 70's P's and the Roger Water Sig I once had.

I'd go to Simon in Cardiff Guitars, the Merthyr place is...shall we say....tired!

I must be weird cos I thought it was quite a good ad?

Josh bought my lovely burgundy mist Jazz bass. Was a christmas sale so the usual merriment and holidays held things up a bit. Thanks for bearing with me mate and for the swift payment and comms. Would recommend doing business with Josh, top bloke. LC

If the FSR you've gone for is the red wine hand stained, I've got one and it's fab. I also had the Roger Waters - build quality was superb but fat C profile neck wasn't comfortable (for me anyway).

Welcome and enjoy the forum! Maybe see you at the next SE Wales bass bash. LC
