  1. Dan is a top man, you'll have no bother whatsoever dealing with him. My only suprise is that this has not sold yet, £400 is a steal!
  2. Bugger! I semed to have missed out here! I ONLY use Rotosound strings 105 - 45 as listed on my profile page. I'd just like to say what a lovely gesture from Jason How and congrats to all who recieved a set (if ever so slightly begrudgingly)
  3. [quote name='Cairobill' timestamp='1319618225' post='1416338'] Neither, Burgundyglo! [/quote] I would totally agree with this.....mind you I do use one! From the choice i'd say fireglo.
  4. I don't think it should have those thumb rest holes or cover holes based on other precisions i've seen. It looks original to me and it dates to 1979. Here's a couple, note there's no holes on these: [url="http://www.normansrareguitars.com/fender-1979-precision-bass.html"]http://www.normansra...ision-bass.html[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/1979-fender-precision-bass-transparent-blue-824201/"]http://www.talkbass....nt-blue-824201/[/url] I hope this helps?
  5. [quote name='Randy_Marsh' timestamp='1325468280' post='1483493'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amzp7W0RkPA[/media] Pretty sure this is Freddy Washington playing a P [/quote] Yep one of my fave bass lines, love it ! and...... anything by BUDGIE! ok i'm ever so slightly biased.......
  6. That serial number 597517 indicates that it was made in 1975. They went from 4 bolt to 3 bolt late 1972 to early 1973 as stated here: [font=verdana,arial,helvetica,helv][size=1][b]F-Series (late 1965 to mid-1976)[/b] Big script "F" on neckplate below serial number. Known as the [b]CBS era[/b]. [/size][/font] 100000 to 110000 = late 1965 110000 to 200000 = 1966 180000 to 210000 = 1967 210000 to 250000 = 1968 250000 to 280000 = 1969 280000 to 300000 = 1970 300000 to 330000 = 1971 330000 to 370000 = 1972 370000 to 520000 = 1973 500000 to 580000 = 1974 [u]580000 to 690000 = 1975[/u] * 690000 to 750000 = 1976 [b]Neck Bolt Numbers (3 or 4).[/b][list] [*]4 bolt neck plates: all models used 4 bolt neck plates from 1950 to early 1971. [*]3 bolt neck plates: starting in early 1971, the Stratocaster, Telecaster Thinline, Custom Telecaster, Telecaster Bass used 3 bolt neck plate (the Telecaster and Precision Bass always used 4 bolt neck plates). In 1972 the Telecaster Deluxe (from introduction) also used the 3 bolt neck plate. **[u] By late 1972/early 1973, the Jazz Bass went to a 3 bolt neck plate.[/u] ** [*]In 1979 the 4 bolt neck plate came back to the Anniversary strat. By 1980 all Stratocaster models were again 4 bolt. And by 1981, all Fender models converted back to the 4 bolt neck [/list] In fact in mid 1976 the serial number went to the headstock. I am NOT trying to cause any issues here, i'm just stating what it say's from this site and it's pretty acurate.

  7. Hey Kev, how did this gig go? Could it be a possible venue for our Budgie tribute band? (classic rock style). We have yet to play in Long Eaton. Cheers Tony.
  8. I thought it might be Scorpions, then realised it can't be because the bass player didn't use a Thunderbird......So I reckon it's Cheap Trick? c'mon own up!
  9. Sounds like a Scorpions tribute to me? For old style how about Acoustic Corp or orange? or newer and lighter Genz Benz or Tecamp (like my rig)?
  10. Try a secondhand Laney AOR head......valve, cheap for what they are, and they rock!
  11. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1327573998' post='1513461'] The built-in amp is rated at 200W RMS. Manual here: [url="http://audio.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/wharfedale_international/evp-12pm.html?idRes=640656"]http://audio.manuals...ml?idRes=640656[/url] I bought one from another BCer last year and am very pleased with it. In fact, if I was closer to Paisley then I'd be very interested in buying this one as well. [/quote] That's right, it was from me! I'm glad you are happy with it.
  12. Only one's of any note I can think of are: Pete Boot (ex- Budgie), Simon Lees (ex- Budgie), Ray Hatfield (Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash), Keith Buck (ex- MTWA currently withTalon (Eagles tribute)), Rob Hewins (ex- MTWA currently with Showwaddywaddy), George Lynch (ex-Dokken currently with Lynch Mob).

  14. [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1326574218' post='1499126'] "During a break between numbers she exclaimed "I was trying to give you a B%$wjob!". Having never encountered this situation before, and not knowing what else to say, I shouted back "Well done!" and cracked on with the next song!" [/quote] How very nice of the lady to offer you a job!
  15. [quote name='Huwberry' timestamp='1326451139' post='1497305'] I'd barely even heard anything by them until a couple of weeks ago either! On a mission to find some more now. [/quote] I am quite suprised i've not heard of them before as I really love funky stuff, but this band seemed to have passed me somehow, by so i've been checking out some of their stuff. I can recommend the track "Glide" (great bass) and also "Future Now" (great bass and guitar solo) Both of those tracks plus "Universal" are all from the album Future Now found here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miXLsd1QXNU&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rojuE68QGj8&feature=related
  16. [quote name='Huwberry' timestamp='1325804414' post='1488207'] Did videos for these two this afternoon. It was only when I was uploading them I realised they were both recorded in 1979. Neato. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWTz_vuWAWo[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToQ_BCgAuCo[/media] [/quote] Wow i've never heard "Pleasure" before, I must check them out, what a wicked bass line! Great playing as usual Huw, you seem to cover tracks i've loved for years and you nail em' great! Excellent stuff.
  17. [quote name='WHUFC BASS' timestamp='1326236529' post='1494443'] Little story here about him. He went to the same school as me (a few years above me) and we used to have a Geography teacher who was a bit eccentric to say the least. Anyway, Budgie fell foul of him one day and he was made to stand in the corridor in just his underpants. After some tears he was allowed to come back into the classroom. Never really liked the Banshees and I agree with the above poster on the "other" Budgie: [media]http://youtu.be/Ov7-_XIrOkc[/media] [/quote] Double YES!!!! Anyone would think I played in a BUDGIE tribute band wouldn't they? As a foot-note, an old school friend of mine used to roadie for Siouxsie and the Banshees and I bought a Telecaster that supposedly belonged to the guitarist.
  18. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1326183147' post='1493294'] Alternatively, there's always [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al0ecN3biR4[/media] [/quote] YES!!!!!
  19. I would get in touch with Champ amps if I were you regardless of what it say's on his site as the site does not get updated like it should. I can highly recommend John (Chambers) he has done some great work for me in the past, he lives locally to me.
  20. Hello! Merry Xmas to you and welcome to the forum. You'll have no bother finding the bass you'll need here plus great advice on all things bass related....etc.....
