[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1387676766' post='2314532'] Due to timing cock-ups with the support act, got chopped! Oh well, another time, maybe! [/quote] What a disappointment for you. Still gives you time to polish up in prep for next time. We have just added "So Lonely" to our set. I have an enjoyable time with it, not on fretless though.

Last nights gear, the last one for us this year, was ultimately a bit of a depressing one. The perfect end to the evening came during the pack down, when I used my head to break the fall of a lighting rig. This resulted in an impressive lump arising from the top of my head, in true Tom & Jerry style The gig the night before was a good un though. P.S. My head hurts.

I've seen uglier mate can't recall where though. Just joking, I think it has a certain appeal, is different and interesting. Can't wait to see the results of your work.

We got through unscathed, all friendly, happy and mucho dancing. Hope tonight's is a good one as well. Last of the year and then a period of rest and relaxation until our next one on Feb 1st.

Welcome. Good first post but too early in the day for me to formulate any sort of answer. The most I can come up with at the moment is, my G&L is very loud

We are playing a pub gig tonight. It was fairly hectic last time we played there, drunken herberts falling over the monitors and crashing into our space. Guess it will be even worse tonight. A night to be using one of my more roadworn instruments I think. Thanks for the warning Doc

I'm listening and playing along to this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhDUuEWgMcA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhDUuEWgMcA[/url] Mrs Mac is out and I'm enjoying an afternoon of Yes and a bit of Ozric

Strings, I can't believe the difference!

I think the DR's sound nice 'n' growly, they are the ones you've heard at DefunkT gigs on my G&L SB1. -
You'll just make space for the next batch, when the GAS strikes later in the year

I love the sound of flats on my P basses when playing along to northern soul and motown, at home and yet when playing with the band I much prefer DR Highbeam rounds. -
[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387541014' post='2313085'] Yours is exactly what I had in mind looks wise when I was telling BD what I wanted. [/quote] Mine is here and waiting for you. Go on, you're worth it -
[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387403736' post='2311689'] It's like the real version of what I asked the bass doc to build, Grangur has seen the bass doc version at my house; this is what I had in mind when specifying it. But more reliced of course [/quote] Yes, my one certainly wouldn't be classed as roadworn. Did the Doc do the relicing on yours?
-
Indeed Clarky. Used it at a rehearsal the other night and it seemed very fitting when we played Brick in the Wall.
-
Looking good, did you do the customising
-
I internalized it mate Typical of me, seething inside but didn't say a word.
-
So what have you got to show for you debt then?

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1387457085' post='2312140'] Ooh, tasty! Love that track, in fact, off to play it on vinyl NOW!! [/quote] A bit more challenging than Wizard, I'm guessing
-
[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1387054755' post='2307889'] OMFG that 74 is gorgeous Gary and it has the perfect colour and neck combination .......stunning mate [/quote] Thanks Thunderbird, I'm really enjoying it.

Spent a lot of monday playing along to Wizards Wish It Could be Christmas Everyday. I don't like chrimbo songs but we were due to rehearse it on monday evening. After having suffered for my art and played it probably a dozen times and getting it nailed, Upon setting up at the studio, our BL says, "Don't think we'll bother with the Wizard one"

Lemonrock, Join my band.

It's still available and still very lovely

My recently acquired 74. I did post this up in the P bass thread but it belongs here as well. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/11357465273/][/url]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1387133982' post='2308547'] It really would - but I don't deserve it. I've been a bad boy this year. you still deserve a treat Mark [/quote][quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1387133878' post='2308544'] It isn't. No way. Actually it's awful. I'm saving you from yourself really. In fact I've gone round Gary's a couple of times and I'm working on getting it road-worn. But it's a slow job. It's going to take a long time. Give me a few years ad we might just get there. [/quote]

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1387236994' post='2309857'] I was totally unaware that there were supposed to be any shielding issues. [/quote] Same here. I've had my one from new, back in the 90's and no issues at all.

Sunday bump.
