  1. Hi there. Thanks for asking but I'm going to hold on for the sale as is for now. I'm not that bothered if I end up keeping it to be honest. If I find another way of funding the upright strings I need I'll withdraw it anyway. It's a lovely neck and with those tuners made my p bass weigh in at under 8lbs. If I do split them I'll probably keep the tuners and sell the neck.
  2. I realised recently that I had 2k worth of 0% interest credit available to me which swiftly began burning a hole in my imagination. A used custom shop Precision has quickly put out the fire with no casualties. Not a whiff of GAS remains.
  3. Sorry I didn't realise! I've changed my account settings now thanks.
  4. A new, unopened set of DR DDT-55 strings. Bought from Bass Direct a few months ago, now surplus to requirements. £22 posted.
  5. Allparts (licenced by Fender) unlined Fretless Precision neck with super lightweight premium quality Gotoh Res-o-lite GB640 tuners. Little use, this neck is rock-solid, straight and plays beautifully. There are some visible string marks from roundwounds but they don't affect the playability or tone at all. The thick ebony fingerboard is more than up to the job! The back of the maple neck is unblemished and feels amazing. Couple of marks at the end of the headstock but couldn't get them to show on a photo. Edit: £210 posted.
  6. The Spector is the "better" bass hands down. A Ric 4003s would be harder to walk past without picking up for a tinkle.
  7. Morrissey - Low in High School. It's one of the best he's ever made.
  8. Age doesn't matter, only personal health dictates this - use it or lose it. Make hay my friend..
  9. Thanks Blue I enjoyed that. The main thing I learnt from it was that I'm now glad I didn't make it. I really don't belong in that world. Massive props to those who dived in and managed to swim.
  10. After owning a couple of 5 strings I now only own a 4 string P, tuned B E A D. Now I use the whole fingerboard and find those five lower notes gained waaay more useful than the five highest notes lost.
  11. Had the same issue last rehearsal with a new combo. Solved it by switching the tweeter completely off.
  12. Jesca Hoop - Memories Are Now
  13. Thisnthatocaster
  14. The black Ricky is in the Burning Wheel vid - Vanishing Point era:
  15. That sounds amazing Blue, well done you! Out of interest, what does your diet consist of? Whatever it is it seems to be working. I'll have some of what you're having!
  16. I'd work weddings every weekend if I could. Best money I've earnt as a musician and always a good laugh if you have the right bandmates.
  17. Nice one Blue I enjoyed that. Not seen that footage before. Talking about being there.. I wasn't, but in July 1962 when The Beatles played the Regent Dansette in Rhyl, North Wales, Pete Best was, shall we say, a bit out of order with an amorous advance on my mum as they were loading out after the show. My mum actually put her stiletto heel through his bass drum as she told him to .... Off! A couple of weeks later Ringo replaced Best. There are actually living witnesses to this story as I heard about it from one of my mum's friends first. Quite a legend my ma.
  18. Tort with maple fingerboards = NO (unless it's a natural finish body) Tort on black bodies = No Parchment (cream) looks best to me. Sets off the black nicely and is in harmony with the maple. Looks classy.
  19. I really enjoyed that, thank you!
  20. Ta-da! http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/fender_50s_precision_bass_maple_fretboard_2-color_sunburst.asp?gclid=CjwKCAjw7MDPBRAFEiwAppdF9CndBCmCFfYuj4WQSQGQX_Gm4Z6XmvjV86FTB2IAm0AhhpHmMFnp-hoCELIQAvD_BwE
  21. F**k that for a game of soldiers.
