Love the look, especially in red!

I found that out in 1972. Being lefthanded I couldn't try before I bought and had to order one, but, it's Fender, it's going to be fantastic. It wasn't, it was total rubbish. Still being lefthanded, I still can't try before I buy so I shall remain Fenderless forever.

The luminous dots do last all night, I think the led lights charge them. You can feel them on the edge of the neck but I don't notice them in the centre of the neck. They do slide about and fall off when they get warm. I like them though as the normal dots disappear under different colours, red mostly. I was thinking of clear nail varnish over the top of the dots but that seems a bit drastic and permanent. Still thinking about it though.

Wouldn't get a lot of wee in a hip flask I'd of thought.

Thanks for the clip. I don't know. Singers good but it just doesn't look right without the stacks, more of a Rainbow tribute than Rainbow. They're a bit static as well, not much of a show.

Coffee, cheese sandwiches and watch the F1 qualifying for me.

Mine arrived this morning as well as the £1 digital credit from Amazon.

Worked for me!

No Brian or Steve but a brilliant gig. Wish I'd been there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bghtzail-5E

They only carried their guitars, easy! They should try Hastings caves and carry all the gear in and out!

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1463734915' post='3053659'] The original bass player from The Hollies played one of those, [/quote] He still plays it but it seems to play out of tune or perhaps that was Eric Haydock not hitting the right notes. Most noticeable on Hollies tunes actually.

My first bass as well in 1965. Bought off a mate for £5. Red and with a Burns pickup fitted but not very well. The pickup being thicker than the bass, someone had made a bowl shaped circle of wood and glued it to the back to cover up the new pickup. Do I remember it fondly? No, it was a heap of c**p. Also for £5, I bought an amp and cab from him. A linear 30 with a home made 2x12 but with only one of the 12s working.

Could form a band just doing the hits of dead people.

The sound that you hear while playing is not the sound that everyone else hears, it only when you become 'everyone else' that you actually hear the sound that your gear makes. I'm sure that the sound that the guy who bought your cabs made is the sound that you make. It's like singing. The sound in your ears is nothing like the sound in another persons ears. It's only when you hear your singing, or even just your normal voice recorded, that you hear what others hear and that is normally frightening the first time.

I use a Shure wh30 headset mic. More than happy with it.
