    Go for it. I've driven that distance for gear before and just make it a wee day out. Would be worth it for such a nice bass. Dave

    At that price it would be worth a return train trip or a drive down as you won't see one of them up here in Scotland at that low price. Dave

    I hope it drops below the £40 i paid Kevin. You're in Motherwell. Can we just share yours

    Is that the hardback version you ordered ? Just curious why such a discrepency in price Dave

    Harley dealerships do it quite regularly. Edinburgh Harley have just moved to a new shop near Hermiston gate and their official open day is mid Aug i think altho i was sure it was a Sat. West Coast Harley in Glasgow have open days over a weekend so bands on both days weather permitting. Dave

    Fantastic price for that beauty. Love the finish on them and Ibanez always do a great job on their basses. Dave

    Bannermans does rock gigs

    Not sure if this is actually a serious topic after watching a bit of that. My Jazz is my goto bass for any project i'm involved with. I've used it for Prog, Classic Rock, Metal, 70's pop covers band, Blues, Blues/Funk rock and currently with my Glam Rock covers band. I can vary the controls enough to cope with most situations. I like its clean and simple tone compared to my PJ Deluxe. Dave

    Good decision on the gigging thing. You need to enjoy kids at their early years. Wee stunner there sir. You can always get another band together no probs/ Out of curiosity whats the blue badge thing ? Dave

    I usually just press the SHARE button on Youtube and then COPY and then PASTE onto BC page. Dave

    I looped it over top horn of my Jazz bass as my issue was a strain rather than a more permanent injury and didn't fancy changing anything on my basses

    You can fit it few ways. Depending on your strap lok type both straps can fit a specific type (can't remember which one it is tho) 2nd way is to use a strap between the 2 strap bottons and attach the other strap to the cross strap hidden behind the bass. 3rd way is to do what Damien did and attach a 2nd strap lock reset into the bass body and when not in use the lok is flush with the bass. 4th way is to loop the other strap over the top horn Dave

    My NT4 is an 89 and its a heavy beast but nothing else sounds like it to me anyway. Those Mega straps look good tho. Might try one of those for all my basses to be honest. I had a similar but cheaper make few yrs back and the plastic buckles snapped and it put me off them but they look a lot sturdier. Think i bought the cheap one from the Bass Centre or something like that. Dave

    I had a shoulder and back problem for a bit couple of yrs ago and bought one of the Gruvgear Duo straps. Distributes the weight evenly across both shoulders. Worked a treat and once my shoulder and back were sorted i went back to using it as a standard strap and its the comfiest strap i've ever had. Would have to agree with Chris tho that if its that heavy maybe you should look for something lighter. My Thumb NT4 is too heavy for me to wear for a full gig but won't sell cause its gorgeous to play but i only use on recording gigs when needed. Dave

    I see what you did there Dad3353 They would be shoe strings then.
  17. dmccombe7
    Not sure about cleaning strings but always handy for the post gig fish supper
  18. dmccombe7
    That's an interesting one so i guess light touched players strings should last longer than the heavy hande player in theory. Curious to see if anyone can validate this one. Dave

    Yep i've been caught with the evilbay copy thing too. I now only buy from recognised shops or suppliers. I used to use Elite Stadiums stainless on my Warwick Thumb mainly because that's what originally came with them from Warwick and they were bright and zingy. As far as i know the Warwick strings were made to sound like the Elites. might even have been Elite that made them for Warwick ? who knows Dave

    Scout around for a decent price on DR's or D'Addarios. I found Bass Direct to be cheaper than Strings Direct or Stringbusters.

    Too many Reality, cooking or quiz shows on these days. Some decent live music shows would be great Wouldn't mind shows with some of the older band live clips like a re-run of even OGWT at its peak. Dave

    where is the court appearance. might be a bit far from me i think but i'd do that
  23. dmccombe7
    Oooh that's nice. Good to hear Level 42 without all that mad pop and slap Mark King does. That was just a nice balance and very melodic.
  24. dmccombe7
    Obviously not playing it live but what a fantastic tone he has and solo is excellent. Liking that wee bit o funk. Nice

    WHY from Uriah Heep. Bonus track on Demons & Wizards. Some debate about who actually played bass on this. It was recorded 71 before Gary Thain joined and therefore has to be either Paul Newton or Matt Clarke. I've heard Paul play the live version and it was nothing like this version so i'm gonna go with Matt Clarke ex Colloseum II which would be a similar style of bass playing.
