[quote name='EssentialTension' post='625383' date='Oct 13 2009, 07:29 PM']Ace Kefford plays a 66 slab P with the Move - and sings and dances pretty well too: [/quote] One of my favourite Youtube videos. What an excellent bassist and band!

I was in touch with an American Leo Quan dealer last month, and they've assured me that the lack of global stock is just due to supply problems. Hopefully this will be sorted soon - I've been after a slotted Badass II for ages!

[url="http://www.lanepoor.com/"]LINK[/url] Great news - fantastic pickups by all accounts. I've been recently pricing a custom Stingray project build and think I might go for one of their famed MM humbuckers [i]a la[/i] Flea. Any opinions on said pickup/the company in general? Danny

That Precision bass is a beauty! How much of the relic wear is your own?

I've used one of the Ritter bags for 3 or so years now and it has never let me down. Not exactly sure which model it is, but it was the most expensive one in the guitar shop, with the most padding and a little velcro strap inside it to secure the neck. +1 for Ritter!

I've been eyeing up the USA Joe Osborn models over the last few days, but having contacted a few dealers to check their availability, it seems we in the UK are limited to Skyline models unless we import them ourselves (and suffer huge duty as a result) My wallet may well thank me though if I do go for a Skyline!

Hmm, I'm not sure - it looks like an SVt (perhaps even older tha 80's - 70's maybe?) but I can't find a pic of a similar Ampeg SVT anywhere to say that it's definitely the same. The casing it's in would suggest that it could be a valve amplifier either way, so it could well be a mixture of hi-tech digital with brute force analog power!

It's currently in my possession - few chapters left to read, and it'll be on it's way! Who's next on the list?

For £200, I'd most certainly be looking at the second-hand market as you'll struggle to get a good new amplifier for that cost. Perhaps a second hand Behringer stack? I owned one for a while and had no problems with it whatsoever. I also found that it had quite a usable tone for the money. Something like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BEHRINGER-ULTRA-BASS-BB115-1x15-SPEAKER-CABINET_W0QQitemZ220488124865QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConElec_SpeakersPASystems_RL?hash=item33561dc9c1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]THIS[/url] coupled with one of [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BEHRINGER-Ultrabass-BX4500H-450W-Bass-Amp-Head-NEW_W0QQitemZ390096635513QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item5ad3924679&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]THESE[/url] (if you can get one second hand, that's a new example) Hope this helps you out - there are a lot more options out there for under £200, it's just a case of keeping your eyes peeled for the right combination of value vs tone.

I would have to say re-recording a Tenacious D track for promotional use for their next album is mine

Great pornography! I especially love the Fender Jazz - one of the new models is right at the top of my list to try out. Danny

I always get shivers down my spine when I hear that opening guitar riff, chiming on the George's 12 string. Amazing album and band, easily rates among my top three favourite Beatles albums (alongside Revolver and Beatles For Sale)

I'd estimate £5-600 for a straight sale. Lovely bass by the way!

I really enjoyed both of those videos, Michael! Fantastic band! I think I prefer the tone of your P to your J, but they both sound great! Good on you mate Danny

Updated with gigs for the next few months - hope to see some of you there!

Frampton Comes Alive is a stellar example of this - great album nonetheless!

I have never wanted to own a Stingray before now. That cream/shell one is DELICIOUS!

That would make a great t-shirt actually! If you manage to find one for sale, please let me know as I'd be interested in buying one too for kicks! Danny

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='605999' date='Sep 22 2009, 07:36 PM']getting uncontrollable wolf notes on some strings[/quote] This is a problem I've only noticed recently with my own setup. In one venue a few weeks ago, every time I played a C on the E or A strings there was this enormous swell of volume. Then, a week later, it happened with every G I played! It has certainly made me consider buying an isolation solution of some sort, but I think I'll hold off until my new amp/cab setup is secured.

+1 on Ashdown. I recently wrote a review of a MAG-300 4x10 combo, which I'll post on here now that it has come back into my mind! Great amps and cabs IMO! Danny

Moved to Amps and Cabs

Stunning instrument, mate!

[quote name='garethox' post='593529' date='Sep 9 2009, 04:36 AM']Would like to see your photo's![/quote] Here they are sir! Couple of years ago now, so excuse the youthful vigour. Dummy XLR out, playing card inlays and everything - a painstaking replica! Sounded out of this world, think there was an 18V pre in there. It's still for sale in my local guitar shop!
