I quite like it, but not for 500 quid.

Cardiacs, Egg, Gentle Giant, Matching Mole, Genesis 71-78, ELP, Greenslade, mid period Rush, early Marillion, smattering of Crimson. Used to be a massive Yeshead too. Dream Theater make my skin crawl.

BUMP - TONIGHT!!!

[quote name='silentbob' post='861493' date='Jun 8 2010, 09:14 PM']Trouble is it's sheared off inside the hole, so nothing to grip. Thanks for the reply though.[/quote] So use the second tip and drill it out. That way, you won't scar the surrounding wood, then you can plug the hole with a sliver of toothpick and bung a new screw in. The soldering iron trick wont work if theres no head to grip.

Good quality pair of pliers with nicely squared sides, a very steady hand, and some patience while you unscrew it sideways gripping the remaining stump. If that fails, you will need a dremel with a small metal bit and an *extremely* steady hand to drill it out.

I'm sure I saw the first incarnation supporting someone in the mid-80's & deffo on Channel 4's ECT, Lyttle used a Telecaster. Still doing [i]Crazy Motorcycle[/i]?[/quote] Yep, Jim still uses a Tele, Johnnie still uses that battered SG, and yes, we still do Crazy Motorcycle, I think we'd probably get lynched if we omitted it 7 days to go, whos comin?

Can you still buy "Rustins Plastic Coating"? that stuff is great for 2 pack clear coat loveliness, although some b4stard in the EU has probably tried to ban it...

I'd personally say Nickel 45-105 roundwound in practically any reputable make, all the Rock thump you will ever need on a P-Bass/J-Bass. Having said that, use anything you like really, your current Rotos will do just fine. Avoid anything too thin though, Metal and 35-85 doesn't sound too good, too much flap and too much fret collision when you dig in. Stainless Steel will give a much more modern up to date Metal sound, but will mash your frets quicker. I'd just stick with the Rotos as thats what you like and are used to, and I doubt the rest of the band will complain about the subtle nuances of your bass tone for at least the first 5 rehearsals. If/when they do, then you have a reference point to what sound they are expecting of you, then come back here and get more advice. Witterth: One of the best Rock players in the world uses 50 gauge flats, fingerstyle, and he has absolutely no loss of top end

I have one of these for sale. Please see my post in the For Sale section. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=90181"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=90181[/url] [attachment=51224:PICTA_6208.jpg]
