    We are a 4 peice band and are doing it for £1000. Its not too far out and is an early finish (about 12.30) A lot of venues are struggling these days.

    [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1341168710' post='1714650'] Just a thought,are we measuring from the finger board or the frets? [/quote] Hmm! I measured from the finger board in my OP, maybe my action is not that high after all? Just goes to show what a wimp my mate is!

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1341138424' post='1714117'] I saw that just after I posted, thanks Pete! Aye. When I got it the action was 2mm which isn't quite low enough for me and there was no room left in the saddle on the E. So I shimmed it. Sounds just as good now as it did before. [/quote] Blimey! There must be more rattles than a skeletons disco!

    Take a listen to over my head from the 1975 Fleetwood Mac album, I've always loved his little bass runs in that tune.
  6. Hobbayne
    Really? How much did they knock off the RRP?
  7. Hobbayne
    I do tend you play rather hard, but I cant get on with that rattley noise you get from low action and thin gauge strings.

    A bass playing mate of mine came round the other day while I was restringing and setting up the Mexican P I got from Lojo. He had a go on it and handed it back saying he couldnt play it as the action was too high. I though that was odd as I like it like that. Anyway we measured the E string height at the 12th fret as it was 5mm. Is this considered high?

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1340839528' post='1710508'] Ah yes, the Fender VI. And the bassline on 'Helter Skelter' was played by John Lennon on the very same instrument. [/quote] Also Played by Lennon on Let It Be and the awful unlistenable cockups on The Long And Winding Road

    Black PVC covered wooden chipboard case with nice fluffy black interior to keep your bass nice and warm in winter. Made by spider. (Pic from interweb) £20 to the first person who turns up at my front door in Greenford, Middlesex, with a nice crisp £20 note. Sorry, im not posting as I havent got a box big enough. Reasonably good condition, however, it has a few scrapes from gigging, but all catches work.

    I believe Mo Foster used one of these on the theme tune to 'Minder'

    [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1340789454' post='1709511'] OK, there's a McDonalds next to the exit from the Piccadilly Line. C u outside that at 7.30pm tomorrow but I won't be eating there [/quote] Why? whats wrong with it? I eat there all the time!

    Cheers guys, it seem the way forward is to take the original and adapt/modify it. I found a youtube video of a bloke doing some nice chromatic runs. I think I,ll nick that.
  15. Hobbayne
    Has anyone played this one? I know its really only 3 chords going round in sequence, but the bassline never seems to play the same part twice. I think I,ll have another listen, as I have to nail it for Saturday. (The Robbie Williams song, not the Queen one.)

    Shaun bought a Stingray off me. Nice bloke, and I had his MIM P Bass off of him too.

    [quote name='paulbass' timestamp='1340556984' post='1706162'] do you still have this bass for sale? if so how much? cheers [/quote] It was an hour ago, £650 I think.
