Anyone know which screws for my jap jazz bass?, they're too long and dig into my hand when playing with a pick. Thanks.

We used to play "straighten out" by the Stranglers, lovely lead bass bit near the end but the guitards used to drown me out, told em i didnt wanna play the song anymore so we dropped it.

Brilliant, im gonna have to dig my epiphone back out the loft now.

Thanks, ill also record it before i hit the boozer

[quote name='Pow_22' timestamp='1346685120' post='1791900'] Movement! Bass us now awaiting charges. Only thing is when i try and ring them to get the code to pay its just an automated machine that dosent guve the option. Just says "await your letter then pay online" [/quote]c'mon pow22 this is like a soap opera, i can't wait til you get it!!!

I played in a tribute band for 10 years, toured Japan twice, Abu dhabi, Marrakesh, god knows how many t.v shows, done a couple of albums (believe it or not)..good times had...

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1346597951' post='1790989'] Agree, good venue - will be there on 29th to see you guys -are you playing this time, and not Glam-Rock Glen? [/quote]i think its me, he just does the fridays

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1346605191' post='1791112'] Very kind of you sirrah, is that the one at the top of the high street? [/quote]Yea that's the one

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1346603677' post='1791082'] Buy insurance before you replace your bass! Burglars often come back after the victim has restocked. [/quote]that should cheer him up..

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1346604627' post='1791101'] Then maybe you should consider giving them something worth coming inside and looking at? Otherwise you might as well just stick on an iPod. [/quote]Could always turn down.. We have non smokers sitting outside cos we're too bleeding loud

[quote name='Oopsdabassist' timestamp='1346567768' post='1790548'] had a very similar experience fri night, 1st set had a decent enough crowd, some dancing too. we cut short the break as we could see people sloping off, just time for a pee and a fresh drink, finished 2nd set to bar staff and about 5 punters, who were, to be fair, very enthusiastic. Been with this band for close on 2 years now, and this is the worst I've seen it, Maybe we'll try for gigs round St Albans!! [/quote]try the blacksmiths arms..01727 868845

[quote name='gub' timestamp='1346449754' post='1789530'] Bass players are a bit like cooks anyway, never trust a skinny one [/quote]Oii, im a skinny one... or would be if it weren't for me beer gut

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1346360684' post='1788437'] First gig I ever went to was "Time UK" at The Marquee in Wardour St in 1985 - only really went as Rick Buckler was the drummer & it was his first band outside of The Jam. Bass player that night was a fella called Nick South - wonde r whatever became of him? [/quote]yep i was there too.. I also saw time uk at the woolwich tramshed ( anyone remember that great little venue?)

[quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1346358814' post='1788403'] My first proper gig was Judas Priest at Newcastle City Hall in 1980 on the British Steel tour, they were great, but even better was Iron Maiden supporting.. Di'Anno, Harris, Murray, Stratton and Burr.. Running Free, Magic! [/quote]ah.. The proper Maiden
