[quote name='theosd' post='781669' date='Mar 21 2010, 02:24 PM']I have drawn comparisons with John Entiwstle[/quote] Is that John Entiwstle of the How? Don't worry I do it all the item...

Worked with Charlie in the Eighties. Charming man, and so knowledgeable. If you're interested go to www.cherryred.tv where there's a lengthy and recent interview with him.

I'm interested in the 1989 Fender signature thing as I have an '89 L-1000 with Leo Fender signature on. Anyone know more about this controversy?

Don't mod your Precision - no need to mess with a classic. And do you play Message In A Bottle in the recorded key? I'm having trouble getting up to the high notes! Good luck Mick

Can't help. Bobby but since I have a similar and reliable piece of kit I am struck with terror! Will be looking at the conclusions of others with interest. Good luck!

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='758912' date='Feb 27 2010, 10:14 AM']I would go and see the CBB again anytime. fantastic band.[/quote] Sadly Colin Cooper, the sax player/deep singer is no longer with us - passed away about a year ago. What a band, though...ta for the clip

I prefer the udder one.

Wouldn't he prefer a nice Paisley Telebass?

I have never had a nut break on me, but my son's Stagg (bought for Xmas) is suffering. How difficult is it to get a replacement nut, and fit it? Do these things come in standard sizes or are they unique to each bass? He's been to a music shop but they are umming and ah-ing. Any help welcome - I can't believe I'm not better informed! Mick

My last departure was at the end of a good gig. Handed back my bits of band-supplied gear and said 'I'll deputise until you've got a replacement but that's it'. Amazingly the singer, who'd started firing off abusive emails to me, was the most surprised! Anyhow, it was the best move I ever made as I am now in two far better bands.

Danny Thompson offered me outside once. Mistaken identity, but I wouldn't want to cross him, jovial though he may be!

Yes, snow is appalling. Hope it will be gone for my next gig in a week - but I don't bank on it! Ta for the pics, the dark duo are certainly something.

Hello Simon from Bordon (15 snowy miles down the road). This is a great forum. Glad you found it. Did you keep the 76 Precision? if so, you qualify to join the 70s Precision club (president Water of Tyne, vice pres Clarky). The Mustang looks good too - lord knows what the colour's called. ATB Mick

Any friend of Pete's is a friend of mine.

+1 Much better scouring the ads for a secondhand bass that's playable.
