The one in the ebay link looks good - I've had stuff from Pappa-D's on ebay before - honest seller. Best to measure up the holes etc on your P see if it looks like it will fit.

How did you find the paint "setting"? Had right issues with my purple build.

My mate had one of these he used as a guitar rig. Put my bass through it and loved it to bits. He sold it on but the guy who has it doesnt use it much. If I ever have the cash... Fairly hefty weight wise but sounds lovely. -
Definately has some commercial potential buddy. Just had a second listen, and it's really growing on me.

Is that an Upright on there? Another one of those cases where its not my usual bag, (though i do like a bit of oldschool hip-hop on the quiet!) but I quite like it. Shades of "The Streets" meets "Dizzy Rascal" meets early "Fun Lovin Criminals".

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1327409555' post='1510650'] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLjMmZ8D0E4[/media] Works just fine - suits the song [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2E_RSJAhYU&feature=related[/media] and this sounds great without [/quote] I think the point I'm making is, Waiting for an Alibi would'nt sound as good without the modulation on the bass, and by the same measure Tears of a clown would sound awful with it. Personally I have an EHX Small Stone and a Big muff because I wanted them. The only pedal I think I've ever used live was a flanger. Iove messing around with effects on Amplitube3 or Guitar Rig4 but live apart from maybe a Flanger or Phaser wouldnt bother.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1327243559' post='1508214'] I have a Gold Tone tenor in Irish tuning and a Windsor Premier 5-string old-time banjo. I also have a Cammeyer zither banjo which is currently for sale in the London branch of Hobgoblin. [/quote] Oh is that you'rs? I saw that one when I was trying to find info about my Cammeyer. do you have any Pics of it? Mine is in pretty poor cosmetic condition - plays though. At some point in the past the back of the bowl has been removed, couple of the dot inlays are missing.

I would probably have gone for a 3ply Black/White/Black pickguard meself. I'd also sand down that headstock.

When I started playing, there were no "bass" tutors around. Everyone wanted to be a six-string god. Had about 3 lessons from a guy who taught my kid brother guitar. He was a propper "LA Sleaze wannabe" and in the end I gave up as he really wasnt much help - he actually admitted this, which was honest of him. I ended up teaching myself, a combination of ear and occasionaly Tab (No youtube in my day, or Tab websites. Had to buy a Tab Book for £7 to get ONE song that you actually needed to play!). I guess I do have "flaws" in my technique in fact I'm sure of it - but I play how I play. Can't sight read, cant slap, just starting to re-learn plectrum usage after 20 years of fingerstyle because I fancy it. Slap just leaves me cold - I can appreciate the skill it takes to do it effectively, but the only uses I've seen for it is to either be a member of RHCP, show off in a music shop, or demo a bass on youtube (because we all care what it sounds like slapped...)

Pretty nifty and very pro looking.

I've been umming and Ahing about this for a while, but as the wife pointed out the bass collection in the living room has grown exponentialy since I started playing again. I've decided I MAY part company with my Thunderbird The Tbird was bought as new for me by my wife, after following a redundancy I sold 99% of my gear including my beloved 1976 Precision. I do like her, I just have a lot of basses now (Mostly P's and a J) so to make space something has to go and I play this the least. Info based on the serial says it was built in July 2003 and was no. 182 to run off the production line at the Un Sung plant in Inchon, Korea. Bad points first. There is a small scratch on the back, and a couple of small ones next tothe jack socket. There is a ding in the underside of the lower horn that has broken through the finnish on the underside of the lower horn (this was caused when after having decided to take it to a practice, having swapped out the straplocks, it parted company with the strap on a concrete floor (See pic below). There is also a small scuff at the end of the headstock. (there were some other marks, but I found these were paint transfer from leaning it against the wall/door, and these have cleaned off!) The good points are it has hardly been used in the last 9 years or so. Frets and neck are fine, no wear to the neck, and it is still wearing the strings it left the factory with! Due to the dink and the scuff (though both are not visible when playing it) I'm looking for £100 ono. Prefer collection from Tamworth, Staffs.

2 very nice sets of slightly used strings, free of charge - not even postage. Cheers mate, they will be gracing my two projects when my neck and replacement nut turn up. Small donation bunged in the BC kitty.

If I ever DO go down the luthier build route, I'll use my guitarists cousin Wez Venables.. as the guitarist assists him with the finishing its not to far to go to break some kneecaps!! He has the first bass wez knocked out as a prototype, and he wont part with it though he lets me have a bash on it now and then. Headstock is a bit naff and it has "generic" hardware but the neck and body are gorgeous

Now that makes me moist!
