Sorry it took longer than I expected but the Olympia flats are now on. They have a little more 'ring' to them than I expected especially on the D and G strings. Also my intonation is now all to seek, so I'll need to have a play with that. But the playability is lovely and when I shove foam under them and wind back the tone pot I AM James Jamerson.

Our local Argos did this to my Mum's neighbour. Poor old boy coughed up £60 quid and it really rattled him. I doubt they can actually do much to enforce it.

Thanks for this. I have received my CDs and have already been blown away by the bass playing on just the first side of Spirit In The Dark. This set will live in my car for a few weeks then I'm going to start learning lines from it.

Just bought the world's heaviest amp from Martyn. Very smooth transaction, arrived when he said it would and in one piece. Excellent man to deal with, buy with full confidence.

Cheers David, I actually have one of those but ironically I have just switched to MarkBass 1 X 15 and its too small! When I use both 15s it should work.

Looks good - thank you

Anyone recommend a stand for an Epiphone Thunderbird? Mine decided to jump out onto the floor last night. Which failed to amuse me. 😥

On my desk 😅 But seriously folks I have a taker so this is now gone.

A new bass cures GAS like vodka cures alcoholism.

THIS HAS BEEN CLAIMED. NO LONGER AVAILABLE. 4 string bridge here if anyone wants it. Don't ask me anything about it as I know nothing - I found it while packing my stuff for a house move. Don't remember buying it but it looks brand new, with the screws and all in it's little bag. No name, could be solid gold for all I know. Although that would be a crap metal to use so maybe not.

Back to Wilco's post. Those Maruszczyk bases are absolutely gorgeous and I cannot justify buying one so I feel the pain. Also my absolute ultimate P bass was up for sale here recently and I definitely dare not go near it. It will disappear over the horizon and I will have to wave it goodbye from the beach

Like the deposit on my daughter's house which she will then let me live in? That was kind of the plan. Actually my excuse is the Brexit economic meltdown will see us wheeling barrows of money to buy a set of strings before long, so I'd better shift it all now.

Well, If the Bass Centre had the Bruce Thomas sig in stock things may have been different.

Well I used to think that but I recently received a cheque from my wife in payment for agreeing not to be married to her any more and as much as I planned to salt it away it's been pouring through my fingers like sand. The only truly bizarre thing is I've not bought any bass guitars . Yet.

5 albums for a tenner - oh my! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Album-Pack-Aretha-Franklin/dp/B003097AAG/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_15_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=C15AJH2E3XDPEDE9BYK8

I came late to the Jamerson party, first picked up the bass in the 80s, but all those who's style I love were influenced by the great 60's basses so it filtered through. Nothing like discovering the mother-lode though!

Without question. In fact why not get three just in case.
-
Thanks for that. Had to learn Footloose for a covers band recently and was blown away by the bassline. Incredible. I think that was my introduction to Mr East

Not that kind of Rogering. Tsk

Roger that

Learned my lesson. Laziness and time saving led me to copy a guy off youtube who plays it really well - certainly better that I can - but it's not entirely true to the original, and I want to get 'under Chuck's skin' so I'm starting again learning from the man himself.

That's great Chris. Can't believe the man escaped my attention. He's feckin' brilliant.
