She Comes In The Fall - Inspiral Carpets

Good morning everybody, nice to see you all...(stands up slowly and unsurely) My name is Simon, and I like The Proclaimers.

I had a heavy relic Custom Shop '62 P bass once and put on a set of these brushed nickel Res-O-Lites. The body was really lightweight and resonant so I had to offset the weight of all that ironmongery up the other end. It ended up weighing a sniff under 8lbs even with all the covers on! Great bass. Great tuners. I was never convinced by the original rusty tuners anyway. Real old tuners are maybe tarnished but never rusty. Usually. Edit: sorry I've just realised that you didn't necessarily mean the Fender Custom Shop.

A Precision bass makes a Precision bass a Precision bass.

Customoused chambered gigbags are all the rage right now. Especially when you're rushing out to a gig.

Interesting! Idon't know Interpol though. What are the best examples of his melodic bass playing?

Prototype?

I Wish I Was In Grenall Whitley Land - Various

Was thinking the same as the appeal of 60s Fenders, for me, is their consistent lighter weight and resonance. Doesn't mean there wasn't the odd heavy weight but it is unusual for that time period.

Elvis F***ing Christ! - The Cramps

Something else that comes to my mind is that whenever I see a Pino custom shop Precision, I think Jet Harris. Right, as you were...

E series are usually very good. I've had 2 and wish I still had them.
