Not a gig but yesterday DefunkT auditioned for the Ware in Herts, Rock in the Priory festival. I actually felt nervous Considering that we hadn't gigged since New Year's Eve, we did good Don't know if it was good enough though.

That's good of them, it all goes towards making it a really enjoyable day. Well done Mick. Drop me a pm if you want any help with this years event.

Not trying to make excuses but obviously there are fluffs and my timing isn't properly solid again yet following a decade off bass. I'm working hard to get back. On a good day I can pull it off cleanly - this wasn't one of them as you can see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6Gufm4vx-I [/quote] pretty impressive effort I would say, no need to feel nervous about showing us that.

You certainly need patience, perseverance and the ability to recognise the delusional

No worries, I was just being a bit of an anorak

Rich maybe you should be a sad loser like me and have a spread sheet on Excell, that details all your bass specifications, service dates and string changes etc.

Great to see these eloquent, well written threads on BC.

Like it, looks great How do those pups compare to Fender ones?

Handsome looking bass and it looks so right stood in front of that Marshall rig

I've finally sorted a very irritating buzzing when playing the E string. It was a real mystery and had me checking screws, springs, bridge, tuners, truss rod etc. Turned out to be a duff Rotosound E string Problem solved with a set of DR Highbeams that I had in my box.

Looks great. Love that look

Welcome to the site Boo. Enjoy yourself and be warned, you can easily spend plenty of dosh right here.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1458203436' post='3005463'] Hey Gary, that looks great. The bridge position is frustrating, when it only moving such a small amount. It'll be interesting to hear the tone. Let's hope this is "the one" for you after the long search you've gone through.. The journey's fun though. [/quote] Yes it is a nuisance rich. It only needs moving a knats, quite a lot of faffing involved but it's got to be right.

[quote name='Basszilla' timestamp='1458199860' post='3005433'] Thanks for the info Gary, I shall look into upgrading my pbass with one of the looms. [/quote] No worries and I'm sure it will be money well spent.

Good luck with it all Lozz.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1458116746' post='3004766'] That's a real looker Gary, some sound clips would be nice. [/quote] Thanks Al. The best I could do at the moment is a video clip but not sure that the sound would be captured and/or reproduced accurately. I'll have a try tomorrow.
