I usually used Ernie Ball - Super Slinkys on my P Bass, but I was given a pack of their coated slinkys and am currently using them. I actually quite like them, although they are quite pricey they last a long time.

Basically, thats it! Does your other half think you have enough bass guitars? Do they moan when yet another one turns up? Are you secretly hiding them away so they cant complain? If the answer is yes, you are suffering from GAS blockage.

IIRC the bass solo was reversed, so well done for pulling it off!!

£50? - and you kept the change I hope.

Lemon oil for fretboards, linseed oil for cricket bats.

I actually play in two covers bands. The first one is a cheesy cabaret band where I can be playing old cheese like ' Spanish Eyes' and a rock covers band where I can play stuff like 'Overdose' by AC/DC. Its good to be versatile.

Have a look at the Roland Cube, The 100w is enough for the smaller venue and light enough to fit in the boot.

You dont have to play it loud yer know, I play through the amp and its no higher than a normal stereo system and nobody ever complains. Unless of course you want to do a '[u]Back to the future'[/u] on it!!

Well I gigged this last night and it was brilliant! A great punchy sound that even the drummer commented on! Nice neck and well balanced body, no neck diving thanks to those tiny tuners. Beautiful action c/o yours truly, with a lovely smooth brand new feel to it. Even the stock strings that I was going to change sounded bright and full through my Warwick combo. Highly recommended to P bass players on the look out for a new bass. Last years basses at a knock down price? you bet. Hobbayne's 5 star rating*****

Resistance is futile! - er ,hang on! wrong show

It looks a bit to clean for a 54 year old bass dontcha think?

Yep, This MDP abomination has already graced the basschat chuckletron

I was going to leave it on, but it started peeling off by itself, and you know how it is, one peel leads to another and...

Just spent the past half an hour peeling the protective plastic film from the scratchplate of my new P bass. I have managed to peel most of it off, but there is still some under the controls and jack socket which I cant get to without taking them off. Why dont they take this off before assembling the guitar?? Rant over, as you were.

The same ones that completely erase my memory when half way through a song I cant remember what comes next!!

Maiden Scotland, I like that!! - Still need a name for my new rock covers band and we have a gig on Thursday
