Is the strap very thick? I have a really chunky 3" leather strap and it happens to me a lot with that particular strap. Less so with thinner ones.

Yes they are are bloody dazzling. I once got the venue to move them before we went on stage.

I get a lot if messages like How much is the last price of your goods", always dodgy. They work of scripts and never refer to your item by name. It's always "I am interested in your musical instrument" Or "interested in your music item". They pay by PayPal then use several methods to claim their money back once they have the item. [/quote] Yes. I had an ipad on Gumtree and got the same email. I called their bluff about my 'item' and told them yes that would be fine, howver, one of the wheels has fallen off. This did not deter them. They still wanted it!

Sat down to watch ZZ Top on the iplayer last night. Turned it off after 15 mins. Bored shitless.

About 30 years back, In my early 20,s, I got fired from my first band for wearing a Fleetwood Mac Tango In The Night T shirt on stage. Not the sort of image my arty bandmates approved of. I was told the band had folded, but discovered they had regrouped with the singers mate on bass.

I had to learn the bass solo in Nivram when I was depping for a sixties band. It was quite a challenge.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1467311678' post='3082786'] I have, on more than one occasion, been described as "The best bass player I've ever played with". This was, in every occasion, said by the worst musicians I've ever played with. [/quote] Yes, Me too! - By a guitarist. Although to be fair he isnt the worst musician.

The Nate Mendel P Bass is a cracker! - Even Scott uses one for his bass lessons.

We were the first band on a charity gig. As we were packing up to let the next band on, Their bassist came up to me and said "Some nice bass playing there mate!" I felt a bit awkward and embarrassed and muttered something about the onstage sound being crap and not being able to hear myself. He must have though to himself ' What a w***er!'

Our drummer was 2 hours late for rehearsal this evening.

What is the waiting time for a new Limelight build?

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1467044031' post='3080732'] Bruce Foxton. Love his tone on Eton Rifles. [/quote] Not really Jazzy or Funky though.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1466945933' post='3079871'] It was nice to see Squeeze again. When did they get a female bassist? She were all reet like. [/quote] Yes, she was excellent. Her timing and feel were excellent. I wonder if she is a hired hand or permanent member?

Chris Martin is steaming!

ELO, Squeeze and Madness were good (But what was that Highway To Hell all about?) Also quite enjoyed Ronnie Spector. Not bad for someone who spent 30 years locked in a cupboard.

What pickups do they use in these?

[quote name='Barking Spiders' timestamp='1466676348' post='3077766'] Hi there Gary Mac. Stuart Morrow was the original bassist for New Model Army and Leigh Gorman was in Bow Wow Wow[/quote] And Leigh was in Adam And The Ants before they had hit records.

P for me, Mainly because I find the narrow nut width is not really my thing.

Norman Reedus who plays Darryl in The Walking Dead is a low end thumper.[attachment=221849:13423947_963557727094971_7909571985451174420_n.jpg]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1466099754' post='3073389'] Fair enough. I'm happy too, all these Limelight shenanigans are giving me horrendous Limelight GAS. [/quote] I shall keep an eye for your Limelight Wanted ad.
