Isn't this not the same guy who was trying to sell that red Warwick Fortress with the scratch plate for as long as Ebay had been running?...

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='684633' date='Dec 14 2009, 10:44 PM']I used to go there as a kid in the mid to late 80s and I don't remember him. I used to flick through the vinyl downstairs and then go through to the instruments section. The shops in Swindon always seemed to have more of an attitude.[/quote] Ahh perhaps different decades then, im 23, so all my vists came as a teen in the 2000's, for all my nay saying, my first bass did come from Windows....

Boys got skills, no doubt about it.

Then again, now i live in Portsmouth i really miss having the choice of 3 or 4 shops to go mooch around at my will, as all i have now is Nevada and thats a car journey away. Guitar Guitar, and the now sadly defunct Soundcontrol where my favourites, even though it felt like Soundcontrol again in Guitar Guitar with George kicking around! Its been a year since i was last in Newcastle so i at least hope he's still there!

I own a Vintage Modified Jazz and i wouldn never sell it, out of the 4 USA Fender Jazzes i have owned including a 60's reissue with a J Retro Preamp and Marcus Miller Sig, this is by the far the best player of the lot, its just so simple and great for finger style funk, i love it! Couldn't recommend it enough!

WHAT A TONE! you can dial endlessly, he had mastered what tone he loved and could dial it in effortlessly! seriously considering one in my next 5 string!

Ahh excellent stuff! yeah that will look dead smart, the guy i gave mine to also has a White Jazz that he's putting the White Covers on! it'll look ace! Post some pics up when you've done it mate.

Hey mate, I recently bought some white pick up covers from a company called CH Guitars on Ebay, they have white, cream, black. Delivered the next day and cost about £5-£6 i have recently passed them on to another member of the forum but they were decent quality and fit perfectly over the stock pups! you can see them in my avatar on my Squire VMJ! Sharp!

I found when refinishing a Telecaster Guitar that i had to lightly run a blow torch over the Laquer finish and scrape it off with a razor blade as it was seriously gumming up my Orbital Sanding Paper, never did finish that project! its still in a gig bag at my parents house..... Although reading this has inspired me to dig it back out and finish it!

My Little Mark head is the best Amplifier i have ever heard or used! It'll be a long time before i sell or get rid of it, and if and when do it'll be to buy another Markbass head, for a 450watter it really raises hell.
