  1. That guy reminds me of that 50's throwback Mark Lamarr! ๐Ÿ˜Š
  2. And it seems to have worked.
  3. This used to be mine. I bought it off of former basschat member 'Discreet' a couple of years back. A lovely bass modelled on a 62 or 63. I sold it on and bought a Sonic Blue one instead. Incidentally, This is Dakota Red NOT Fiesta Red.
  4. Welcome to the Limelight Club. Here is my sonic blue 63 P Bass I had made early this year.
  5. I once wore a T shirt at a gig a year or two ago. It had a picture of Darth Vader saying ' I am your father' emblazoned across it. I noticed our guitarist wetting himself with laughter everytime he looked over at me. During the interval I asked him what was so funny and he replied that my guitar strap was covering some of the letters and made it look like 'I am fat!' ๐Ÿคฌ
  6. I love a P bass. In fact I have four of them. ๐Ÿ˜
  7. The presence of another bass player in the room staring at my left hand turns me to quivering jelly. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ Its usually when I,m playing something dead simple like an 8 to the bar ACDC song as well, So I cant show off!! ๐Ÿ˜
  8. I love all the stuff on irs. When they were signed to Warnerโ€™s they got to commercial for my tastes. That bloody awful shiny happy people was the kiss of death for them. IMHO
  9. Is this still going on?? ๐Ÿ˜ง Come on! - Tell us who's won!! ๐ŸŽธ ๐Ÿ˜
  10. Well, Thats upset the dog! - He still wont come back inside the house!! ๐Ÿคฌ
  11. Another option. But the above advice seems to be working at present. ๐Ÿ˜‹
  12. Any news Linus? Is nearly August now. ๐Ÿค”
  13. Cheers Reggaebass. I will have to remove the neck to get to the adjuster, but will give it a go.
  14. Hmm. Do I need to loosen it or tighten it?? ๐Ÿค”
  15. You go to the Rotosound website and look to see who endorses them, and post it on here. ๐Ÿ˜‚
  16. Has he been Knighted? I must have missed that!
  17. The action above the 7th fret on my P Bass has increased rapidly over the passed few weeks. It still seems OK on the lower part of the neck. Will lowering the action help? Or is this a truss rod tweak?
  18. They did a good job recreating the bloodstains! ๐Ÿ˜‹
  19. Then you maybe interested in paying ยฃ350 for this brick. And its damaged!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://shop.abbeyroad.com/*/*/Original-Abbey-Road-Studio-Two-Brick/666L0000000?utm_campaign=AbbeyRoadFansAdditionalLecturesEmailsBrickEmail240719&utm_content=UMGUK13870-651294&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=Email
  20. I was told many years ago that I looked like Bobby Gee from Bucks Fizz. ๐Ÿ˜ข
  21. I had a guy buy a bass from me, but he wanted to collect it early Sunday morning. He came about 9am because he wanted to get it home before his wife woke up! ๐Ÿ˜‚
  22. I have been sacked from several bands in my lifetime but it never really bothered me. the first sacking (circa 1988) when I was 24, was from a band who's lead singer/guitarist thought he was Paul Weller. We were playing the Mean Fiddler in Harlesden when I turned up in a Fleetwood Mac 'Tango In The Night' T shirt. (That album had only just recently came out IIRC) He said that was not the image they were trying to convey. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The second sacking was from a function band who wanted to play Sunday lunchtime gigs as well as the regular gigs. I couldn't do it as I worked shifts, and had to jiggle things around so as I could do the main gigs, but could not guarantee I could be free on Sundays too. It was quite amicable and I used to get the occasional phone call asking if I could dep when they where stuck.
