[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1434724510' post='2802242'] Thanks guys, I'll maybe give D'Addarios a try. I would give flats a spin but I play a lot of slap and I hear they're not ideal for slap, is that correct? [/quote] You are correct, not the ideal choice for slap.

Super glue would work if you can get it in. A little masking tape either side for protection and to keep the glue in place. Once set, file down. You could use some white plastic dust mixed in with the glue.

I tend to think it's an over used and not quite correct term. All in the technique would be more appropriate

Indeed, that is rather lovely.

It's not normally something covered in amp reviews, so I've got to be the first to ask, what is the amazing smell?

Lovely grainy piece of timber.

Always a pleasure, dealing with Nick. Just taken delivery of a well packaged, rather lovely, exactly as described, vintage style case.

Hi Alex and welcome. Don't think we got to chat at the bass bash but hopefully we'll catch up next time.

[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1434450680' post='2799621'] I went from kickass bad girl growl to dull beardy geography teacher in corduroys mush. Not very punk. [/quote] This is a sad day on Bass Chat. You have just insulted all the beardy, geography teaching bass chatters, particularly the corduroy wearers.

That's just showing off Lovely collection though and certainly worth showing off.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1434527197' post='2800349'] Well an update - I`ve gone and bought a couple (one for regular use, one as backup), and used one at gigs over the weekend (with provided rigs) and finally at rehearsal last night with my own rig. And am soooooo pleased - the sound was excellent, exactly what I`ve been trying to get, absolutely spot-on, sits really aggressively in the mix but without a harsh top end. Playability is great, build quality is great, it just shows that sometimes you have to trust your instincts, or in this case, ears. [/quote] But haven't they both got those rotten old maple boards? You should have got Rosewood

Oh Lordy .

Tort will look splendid.

Don't forget the battery

That's better, equilibrium is restored Looks great.

I don't see how break angle can alter the tension. I tend to consider it as just a different option. I've tried both options on my P Deluxe and could not hear or feel any difference.

I don't think a Fender P is extravagant for a learner. If you can afford it, it's good to learn on a quality instrument.

That's a looker and should ensure that ou keep your enthusiasm for bass playing

Great job. Never heard of those pick ups, will have to check them out.

[quote name='such' timestamp='1434399947' post='2799285'] I cannot get over how gorgeous it is, Gary. A dot&bound 66 is my lifelong dream. [/quote] Well I'm always chopping and changing my basses, so will keep you in mind if I decide to sell.

[quote name='such' timestamp='1434366921' post='2798899'] but this is a worn sunburst from the sixties, how can I not vote for it?", [/quote] Exactly what I thought plus it was mine.
