The sleeves of your jacket rolled up obligatory (mullet optional).[/quote] hah hah so you must have saw the photos of me then thank god I grew up, oh and all the time I still had my jazz,

thanks for that it is a deep maroon in color, and has a rosewood neck cheers stef

hope that the vast knowledge of basschat can help a man in a bit of a quandry, the three 4 strings I have are all jazzes,one fender late sisxties and 2 squiers,one twenty years old,the other a mod fretless, also have a cirrus 5 stringer, so the amount I know about p basses I could write in capitols on a stamp, I have the chance to get a mexican fender p bass for £200 as a debt thats owed, have had a look and played it,it could do with a restring and setup but sounds better than I remember when I had one in the seventies, I know that the money is a good deal,what can I possibly move this on for if I find I still want to use my jazzes thanks in advance stef

just been going through some cd,s to put on my ipod, one song that I came across was she makes my day, how is he getting this sound I remember learning this when it first came out,and thought what a absolutly superb bass line,the more I listen to it to try and get that sound the more I like it for me it has to be one of the best, perhaps not to all tastes cheers stef

had my jazz since 74,been through love ,divorce,homeless,starvation,unemployment you name it ,its happened,and its still with me, dozens of basses have come and gone,amps,cabs as well, even 10 years of not playing, and still its here,and will be till I am gone, then the kids can sell it then if they want cheers stef

watcha welcome

I simply don't understand this. and this is what it sounds like (headphones recommended): [url="http://soundcloud.com/geoffbyrne/help-me-2"]http://soundcloud.com/geoffbyrne/help-me-2[/url] G.[/quote] yeh exactly the same as my one nice

started when I was 15,that was thirty eight years ago, stopped completly about 2001, cant tell you why,it just happened did not pickup a guitar,over a very short period all the gear went into a cupboard under the stairs,and thats where it stayed until september last year dusted of the jazz bass case,opened it up just to check it was ok ,had a little play,oh my bloody god what a complete arsewipe have I been over the next little while got all the stuff out, cleaned restrung setup,new leads,all that kind of stuff bought some more stuff,try to practice everyday,have realized that after 10 or so years of no playing my hands cannot do what they used to do with ease,now its all down to practice and relearning oh and some lessons when I can get it sorted, but after all that I will start to look for a blues or covers band soon,to go back and play pubs ect as thats what I loved doing most was playing live,anywhere anytime so if a old giffer like me can think like this, bring it all on

53 and counting,you young chaps will learn that age is a wonderful thing you can say and do things you would not dream of in you 20s and 30s thats if you can remember what you were on about in the first place oh thats another thing, what who hello ten past five alz what oh bugger ha only kidding cheers stef me nah sorry officer

well after a bit of a wait, have just got my hands on my cirrus five stringer 1st impressions are good,lovely warm sound through the gk just feels nice,lovely necknot too wide for my hands, plays good just see how I get on in the next few days cheers stef
