    Precision body 1960?

    in eBay - Weird and Wonderful

    Serial # wouldn't be duplicated in the neck pocket, and anything from that era, if marked at all, would usually have pencil date in p/up route or neck pocket until mid 1960.

    Exactly. This is no way a 1960 P Bass body. Just another internet scammer trying his luck.

    I've never seen this before - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mKm9BZU3n8"]live footage of James Jamerson with Martha & The Vandellas[/url]

    Previously I was only aware of the Marvin Gaye concert footage - I'm pretty sure that this is the only other footage available!

    I was at last nights Jazz Cafe gig, Norman was on great form and sounding good despite the awful house rig they insist on using at the venue.

    Yep - the in-house pa is atrocious at the Jazz Cafe...ruined the Daniel Lanois/Black Dub gig I went to.

    "Darren Thompson contracted so violently when he was electrocuted at San Cornelius prison, in 1967, that the arms of the chair broke. The pieces were used by William Muldover to repair an old bass electric guitar he played in the prison church ensemble "The Caged Angels" . . . Might explain the odd, but pleasant, tone."

    Would the scratchplate not have been the 'mint-green' seeing at it's a custom colour!?
    Beautiful bass :)

    Lovely looking bass!
    :)
    But as Si says...the original pickguard would have been white on a CAR Fender in '65...maybe worth clarifying this for potential buyers? Best of luck with the sale!

    Pete The Fish (Wal) RIP

    Damn that's sad news... What a legend he was.
    Been thinking of selling my Wal Custom recently - bought new by me in 1987... But this news has brought back loads of memories - so I can see me holding on it to for many years more. Peter re-fretted it only a few years ago (must have been one of the very last jobs he did) & was kind enough to sign the neck butt for me. He'll be greatly missed I'm sure...

    On the verge of a major record deal/publishing deal - realising that the guitard had no concept of what an advance was...he had (no joke) assumed that ALL the money from the advance would be split 5 ways & we'd each get a huge cheque to do whatever we wanted with. Me: "So you've basically promised your wife a new kitchen and a new car then?" Guitard: "Errr...yeah, something like that."
    The look on his face when I explained what would actually happen with the advance & the fact that he'd have to survive on a very small weekly wage (i.e. much less than he was currently earning) was priceless. The best bit was imagining how he would explain it all to his wife & family - who he'd obviously told were all on the verge of getting a big share of an instant lottery win style 'payout' when he became a rock star.

    I too am boggled by the lack of recognition Jim Lea gets as a bass player, he's an absolute demon.
    The same goes for Slade as a band really, I think most folk tag them as a good time party band but they were [i]so[/i] much more than that.

    Slade Alive is mandatory listening.
