    Brand new, unused and still in the packet G&L MFD P bass pickup as used in the SB-1 and SB-2 basses. Lots of punch and character with adjustable pole pieces to fine tune string to string balance. I'm just sorry I never got to use them (a new bass purchase scuppered my project. As you do 😄) Imported by me direct from G&L in California at a cost of £128 all in. £80 or nearest offer. (Bottom piccy is off the G&L website)

    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. Great giggable bass for very little outlay! £120 Edit: or nearest offer.

    When it's Crap Rock. There's plenty of it unfortunately.

    To stay off social media. It doesn't make sense or mean anything and everyone's gone mad.

    Yup, it's all the same thing; life, the universe and everything.

    I'm currently learning Funky Monks by RHCP. It's a bit of a challenge as I don't have a 5er anymore but kicking on an octave pedal for the low parts is getting me by ok. Having fun!

    I suggest keep your pedals and buy a quality set of flats for your L2500. Change strings to suit whatever buzz is floating your boat. Would only take 5 mins out of your day, just make sure you buy a set of flats that more or less matches your rounds tension so it's a straight swap with no farting about. No regrets, and you're welcome! 🍻

    I see what this is all about. It's about getting everyone to off load all their excess basses, thus saturating the BC marketplace and bringing prices crashing down so we have more choices for much cheaper. Well played sir, and thank you! 👏🍻

    They certainly do when I make them.

    How does it sound then? Can it do the traditional P/J thing well? It looks like it would be a monstrous funk machine too! I've got an incoming passive JBS but I'm wondering now if I should have held out for a Power JBS..

    I moved back to rounds too. Loving Dunlop Superbright Steels on my P. Bloody excellent!

    I'm not in a band now and I'm relishing the thought of having no musical commitments for 2020. I have made a Spotify playlist of songs I always wanted to learn and can't wait to work my way through them now that I have the time. I should be 'shed' loads better this time next year!

    By ages I meant about 6 months mate. Once I'd healed it was fine, like it never happened and I could play again. You really have to be very conscious not to use that hand though which is hard at first as you instinctively do. I put myself back to square one on one occasion by doing that. I wish you a speedy recovery, as in less haste more speed. 😉

    I had it. It took many months of resting it, wearing a splinted wrist support for the first few weeks. No surgery required thankfully but I couldn't play bass for ages though.

    Lovely bass!

    That just made me 'LOL' and scare the shoot out of everyone on a very quiet train! 😂😂

    I was just thinking yesterday that maybe an upside to the current state of our country and the tough times no doubt ahead, will hopefully be that we'll get some great new meaningful bands arising from the debris.

    I love playing along to The Free Design 😊

    Yes I only heard this a couple of years ago! Always did wonder what happened to it after seeing them writing it on Funky Monks. I can understand why it wasn't on BSSM as it sounds more like a Mother's Milk track to me. Pretty darn classic all the same!

    Rules schmules. Choonz iz choonz n'at init.. Was it SA that John was heavily into Brandy? Not the alcoholic beverage by the way. Or was it By The Way? If you catch my drift..
  23. miles'tone
    😂 No by me I meant! Nos da brawd.
  24. miles'tone
    Cheers for that! Funny you didn't mention the only one that I can remember liking 😂 Nice one for Fortune Faded too, I'd forgotten about that song. They did a great live version of that when I saw them in Cardiff. 2004 I think it was.. A Spotify playlist needs to be constructed methinks. 👍

    Just following on from the Frusciante Rejoins RHCP thread but thought my question for the BC Chili heads would be better off in a separate thread. It's kinda surprised me how many people have said they really liked Stadium Arcadium. I bought it at the time, listened through a couple of times and never felt compelled to go back. I think Ready Made stood out though. Most people agree it's way too long with filler though and "if it was half as long it would have been one of their best" Soo, if you could cut half the album away what tracks would you keep? I wonder if people would mostly agree or would it be a different edit for everyone?
