apocalypstick on your collar - Connie Francis

It's 2nd January and I've already done my first trade!! I won't waste your time by pretending that I won't be trading - I have zero will power - If I see it and I can afford it, I'm having it!!

Ah, the joys of travelling on the M25 to do a deal!!! Met up with Jake to do a trade - essentially for a set of frets....Well, sort of. I traded my Yamaha TRB fretless for Jakes TRB fretted. Met up in Wokingham for that trade in a car park that we've all grown used to...what do onlookers think?? Perfectly effortless trade, went as smooth as...the usual chat in the car park afterwards before escaping back onto the living hell that is the M4/ M25. Lovely fella, a tribute to the people who frequent this forum. more than happy to trade again, you can feel safe doing business with him. Oo, BTW he's a drummer really - you are NOT allowed to kidnap him and keep him in your cellar.

I've got it now.... and very nice too. Just been playing it - some great tones available.

I hear you knocking - Dave Edmunds

Thread resurrection!! I'm thinking about a Squier Dimension V with RW fretboard - update me fellas!!

I can't do Maple boards - too "clean" for me - I prefer the warmth of a Rosewood board. Having said that I've been watching a number of videos of the Fender/ Squier Dimension and TBH I can't see why so many are being unloaded. Many responses to this are "because it's not a P or J" which is fair enough and not surprising as many Fender owners tend to fall into these two camps (not meant as a criticism). Those oval pickups can't really be freaking out the classical Fender buyer. It seems that whenever Fender bring out something new, they sell for a while and then Fender withdraw them as sales aren't what they'd hoped. It seems that it isn't the company that's stuck in 1966, it's their clientele. Again not a criticism, more an observation. I recently missed out on a couple of Squier Dimensions V - one here and one on eBay - both had maple boards which was the deal breaker for me - I wanted the Rosewood. The Squiers seem to be selling for ridiculous money - £150ish - surprisingly we aren't seeing the competitors like Sire/ G&L/ etc selling for this - how are they holding their value but not the Fender/ Squier Dimension . From the videos I've seen they sound like good basses, certainly better than the used price tag suggests. So why are owners moving them on? Is it really that Fender owners only want P and J basses. Is it the electronics? Build quality? I'd welcome some feedback from those who have played or owned one.

Just finished watching it (on the telly) - so approachable and down to Earth. Inspirational doesn't cover this....Nice one Scott.

Just think "me, me, me" and you'll be OK

I want to break free - Queen

It does have the hard to come by hard case though. Probably the most desirable part of this sale.

Bach ( Handel link) in black - Amy Winehouse

Home - Michael Buble

Red light spells danger - Billy Ocean

Reminds me of seeing them in Stevenage. It felt like they were all tripping, hour long solos and going off on tangents. Wish they'd shared the acid.

Excellent. You can now throw all of those guitarist tantrums you had to endure as a bass player. Don't forget to remind them how irreplaceable you are.

Slip sliding away - Paul Simon

They're members here @Ashdown Engineering

I'd like to have an Enfield, with SimS pickups...should cover the ground for most situations and styles.

Paul McCartney's violin bass. Not interested in playing it, it's probably worth a few bob already but once Macca dies it will be worth a few bob more. I'd sell it and buy any bass I want and a Ferrari. Sorry, I misread this as a NY gift.

MacArthur Park - Donna Summer is my fave version

Sweets for my sweet - you know what, I have no idea who the artist was
