Thanks. No cigar in relation to ebay though.... any other ideas?

Thanks.. what does IIRC stand for?

Anyone know where I might find these elusive items, or if they even exist - I don't want chrome, nor one with a Fender 'F' on them. Cheers for any help you may be able to offer me..

Oo er! This is a fact: Dave Hill's third choice guitar (a tobacco sunburst les paul, and very nice to play it is too!) is sitting in my living room at this very moment. My mum's boyfriend is their guitar tech/head roadie. Woo, I done a claim to fame!

My granddad (Mick Durell - another double bassist jazzer type) is friends with him. Don't spose anyone's heard of him? Just out of curiosity, really!

Nothing wrong with throwing yourself in at the deep end (no pun intended) to get the best out of something! Go with what you feel like, but be aware that the low B will seem a bit odd to begin with unless you're used to detuned or 7 string guitars, might be more sensible to grab a bass with a high C

I bought [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbb35ntfl_5string_akustikbass_fretless.htm"]this bass[/url] on a whim just before xmas, it's served me well but I simply can't use it in a live situation because of the p/up scenario. What can I do to reduce the feedback!! Anything! Please!! It sounds fantastic on [url="http://www.myspace.com/aliquotflow"]recordings I've used it for[/url], I'd like to be able to replicate that in a live situation!

Hi, just joined this forum (was linked over from sputnik music's bass forum) and all looks good so far. About me: I've been playing bass for 4.5 years and has been involved in various bands. At the moment I am currently in a band called Aliquot Flow - [url="http://www.myspace.com/aliquotflow"]MYSPACE[/url]. Previous bands have included [url="http://www.myspace.com/gummybabies"]Gummy Babies[/url] (my first!) and [url="http://www.myspace.com/ukunderthethumb"]Under The Thumb[/url] (just a dabbling in my funkier side!). Hopefully can meet some likeminded people (being bassists, I tend to think that we all are - sort of a select elite almost ) Peace Theo.
