  1. Eye contact with your band members, relax and BREATHE.
  2. I had a P bass tuned to BEAD. Played and sounded excellent. Ernie Ball Slinky singles: .135 .100 .075 .055 for a well balanced set.
  3. He smart enough to create a top team around him, listen to working musicians and give them what they wanted. With visual appeal in spades.
  4. Yes, yes and yes to all of the above! Limelight PJ + Roadworn Jazz - I totally get that now. 😉
  5. I reckon you'd regret swapping that for a jazz mate. It reminds me of Norman Watt-Roy's original rhythm stick converted 70s P bass. I can vouch for Dave Dearnaley's craftsmanship - he sets up all my basses and built one for me a few years ago! The guy's a genius imo. The guitars he builds from scratch are incredible!
  6. I was in Wunjo's a couple of weeks ago and finally got my hands on a special. F**k me I was impressed! It was an all black, roasted maple board bass with fingerprints all over it. My No.1 bass is a 62 relic Custom shop P but if they had offered me a straight swap I would have. It was so light and easy to play... and that neck! Plugged in it was so versatile and punchy - the new pickup (single H version) and pre were amazing. So much so that I didn't want to try any other bass in there. Every slight of turn of the eq was valid plus finger placement really made such a difference. As a purely p bass guy these days I was sold! I used to play an 86 Stingray for many years but these specials are in a different league. The only negative - for want of a better word - was that acoustically the ray was not as vibrant or 'alive' sounding as my custom shop, but the new eq is the bomb and more than compensates. Imho the specials have lost nothing of the Stingray sound but gained so much more. Smitten!
  7. Just received a nice leather strap off Dave. Great comms and although I said there was no rush, it was delivered promptly anyway. Thank you Dave, much appreciated! 👍
  8. Simply stunning! The perfect size and shape P neck imho. Bet it resonates like a MoFo. GLWTS 😎
  9. Beautiful 'burst there. Looks like a good un, especially for that price. GLWTS although I doubt you'll need it! 😗
  10. Thanks for the heads up regarding all of the above. Sounds like he's the perfect new vein I need to mine! 👍
  11. I read that as Has Anyone Seen The Pogues? I really should stop drinking and get some sleep..
  12. Price dropped to £300. Killer tone and volume for trouser-flapping peanuts!
  13. I've got a good new one that I'm going to sell. I'll PM you at lunch time. I'm paid up btw mods! 🙂
  14. Oh I like this.. a lot! Love what you've done here👍 I'm sorted for a decent P sorry but someone is going to be very happy! You, hopefully when you come to your senses. 😉✌️
  15. Nice bass, but that's 60's configuration not 70's. Glwts.
  16. A leather-clad Kate Moss ragging a Dodge Challenger. What's not to love?
  17. Selling my lovely Hartke 5210 Hydrive combo and it is in lovely condition. I used it for the grand total of one rehearsal and a gig two years ago and it has lived safely in my wardrobe ever since. I bought it for a project that died a (very) quick death and seeing as I'm not going to be in a band again anytime soon, I have to unfortunately let it go. The amp itself is a LH500 👌 Killer tone and kicks out a massively versatile trouser flapping punch! Pick up in person, Cardiff area. Can meet up somewhere within a reasonable distance if that suits. Cheers.
