Can you do it again? Love to hear it through the little speakers on my laptop.

Flea is just his name, I actually [u]have [/u]fleas!

I,ll be back there soon, as Alex has offered me a nice PX deal on my Stingray

I think Bb has a very satisfying ring to it. If you play it on the A string 1st fret it gives a nice thump!

I popped my P bass in last week for a minor setup and neck tweak. I called them this morning and spoke to Alex who told me it was ready. After trudging from Ealing to Camden in the rain, It transpired it wasnt ready at all!! So I wasnt happy. Martin however, dropped what he was doing and set to work straight away on it while I had a pint across the road, and it was done within the hour!. So I was not too bothered in the end.

Who ever faked the headstock logo went to an awful lot of trouble to get that nice shiney laquer finish. Quiet unlike my fake P bass.

High Wycombe British Legion New years eve. This was taken shortly before the now infamous bingo machine incident!

How a bout the late, great George Harrison? Not really known for his bass playing abilities while a member of a famous scouse band!

I would suggest training your ear. Listen to the original bassline and try to play along with it. Dont rely on tabs they are a bad habit to get into.

I bought a Stingray off of here earlier this year and gigged it once or twice with my band - but TBH, its not really suited to the music I play. I still prefer the old fashioned thump of a Precision bass in all honesty. Still its horses for courses, there are some folk on here who wont be seen dead with a Fender.

This takes not only the biscuit, but the whole pack!! [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-4-String-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Top-Xmas-Deal-/370291880645?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item56371db2c5""]Very expensive cheapo p bass copy[/url]

So who is the highest bidder now?

I,m getting a real deal for £2.40 at he moment

£1.24? Someones going to get a right bargain for that price!

I play in a function band and are sometimes asked to play old reggae classics - 'Kingston Town, Three Little Birds' etc. But you cant do much with spindley cheesewire strings. Hence 45 - 105 on a Precision for me (Roundwounds with the treble rolled off)

I dare someone to message him and ask how heavy it is?

Did you know that The Beatles 1966 album 'Revolver' was originally going to be recorded in Memphis, Tennessee and [u]NOT [/u]Abbey Road Studios in London??

My old 1977 USA P Bass was over 9 pounds! I had to wear a 3 inch leather strap to support it! My Ray feels much better. The VM Jazz is almost featherlite.

Take your phone off the hook when your recording an instructional video!!

Looks great! I had one of those Columbuses back in the 1980's and that had those silly little tuners on as well. How about a tugbar under the G string for the vintage look?
