    Francis bought a pickguard from me, paid instantly and was great throughout. Lovely bloke. Thanks!

    Discreet's (originally) Limelight Jazz. '62? The really aged oly white/spitfire tort one. Can't find a piccy sorry as they've gone I think. A work of art that one and the first bass that came to mind. Maybe a BCer still owns it?

    I'd get stuck in and enjoy the challenge. Go for it.

    Best ad ever! 😂 GLWTS

    Absolutely! I used to be proud of myself in music school for being able to name really odd time signatures instantly, much quicker than my fellow students (I had to take pride in that really as I was crap at the rest of it's academia due to not being able to focus for long. I got bored REALLY easily.) Years later I realised that it matters not a jot what you can count, if you can verbalise it it makes much more sense. The old 'if you can say it you can play it'. If you're not reading charts then to hell with it! The music will flow better and be more organic if you're not summing up the math the whole time. I find it really interesting just listening to others in conversation. Not to what they're saying but how what they're saying is rhythmically phrased. You can get some cracking and strange groove ideas from this kind of thing, and it's all around us all the time! 👍 I realise it's this kind of thing and thinking that Frank Zappa was on to DECADES ago. 👏👏👏🤘

    Yes, what a stunner! I used to gig a '62 Custom Shop P and it was a better bass than most of the 'real' ones I've played. They seem pricey but in my experience worth every penny. GLWTS.

    I think it might be an Ibanez Super P as found in the Blazer and Roadstar basses. Very Dimarzio and very good.

    Rotos sold.

    Gorgeous bass! That tort looks bloody fabulous.

    Are you wanting to learn it? You could try transcribing it by ear. Shouldn't be too hard.

    I've got a few that I get mixed up but I can't remember what they are.

    I have some unused Roto balanced tension BEAD strings for sale here right now if you want to have a pop. I'm paid up btw.

    I eventually couldn't get all the funds together for this beauty, so someone better be quick incase my situation changes!

    WITHDRAWN. I have woken up and come to my senses. I can't afford to take a hit on everything I buy. It's a Great bass which does what I need. Stick.

    Yes it's back friendly. My back is ruined and I'm good with it. I'm guessing it's about 8lbs. I'll weigh it properly later.

    Brand new still in the packet G&L MFD P bass pickup as used in the SB-1 and SB-2 basses. Imported direct from G&L in California at a much greater expense than I'm selling it for here! £85 posted.

    Up for sale is my SX SPB-62 P bass in a gorgeous shade of LPB. I bought it new only 2 months ago for £175 but I need to sell it to raise funds for something else that has come up. It is still as new and hasn't even left the house. It even has the plastic film still on the tort pickguard. I'm astonished at how good this bass is for the money. It's lightweight yet balances well, is very resonant when played acoustically and the fit and finish is spot on. It actually needed no setting up upon arrival and was even intonated. I bought it from Waltons in Ireland because I wanted the LPB finish and they were the only place I could find who sold the blue. Maybe they set up their basses prior to shipping? It arrived playing and feeling great anyway. £100 Cardiff area.

    Great advice on this thread! I for one definitely need to look into supplements. My elderly father swears by turmeric btw. Regarding stretches, I follow all the exercises in this particular video as part of my morning and evening routine now even if I'm not playing that day. A great help. +a million for staying hydrated!
