Thank you Mantons. Very helpful. Andy

I have a Geddy Lee Jazz which I bought from a fellow BC member some time ago. It had been painted white. A decent enough job however, the paint reacted with the foam on my guitar stand and it's gone a bit manky. Seriously thinking might get it repainted. So my questions are, is it something worth tackling myself? I'm not completely cack handed OR would you only get a pro to do it? Clearly I've never done one before so don't wanna waste time and money. Finally, any recommended painters preferably in Yorkshire and what should I expect to pay if I give it as it is unstripped. Any advice welcome. Thx. Andy

Selling my Strobo Clip. A couple of years old. Only ever used at home and kept in it's tin so in excellent condition. Here's what they say:

"T[color=#444444]he Peterson StroboClip™ (SC-1) has the same tenth-of-a-cent accuracy as its big brother models. This versatile tuner comes complete with a bright high-definition screen, 28 Sweetened™ tunings, alternate temperaments for a vast array of string and wind instruments, a stainless steel chassis to withstand life on the road, a carbon-fiber hinge/stem/clip construction to ensure you a worry-free performance, a metal carrying case for safekeeping, and soft rubber-lined jaws to protect your instrument's finish while offering a firm grip for maximum signal tracking. [/color]
[color=#444444]Also, our exclusive “Sustain Mode” feature allows longer note-on-screen viewing time when tuning short-voiced instruments. The note is captured and displayed on screen until the next time a note is sounded—perfect for instruments like banjo and other similar instruments that have percussive, brief, and transient sound signatures!"

Also at the Brudenell - Nicholas Allbrook, next Tuesday. Just trying to work out why Tav Falco is on at the same time?!

Three rooms. I've thought the same in the past. Great venue though

Ultimate Bowie tribute tomorrow night at Brudenell Social Club. Should be good.

Really enjoyed that. Sounded and looked great. I actually loved the guitar sound ob Fashion. As good as the original IMO. Am going to see Ultimate Bowie at Leeds Brudenell Club tomorrow night - that should be good then rehearsing my own new Bowie tribute, The Bewlay Brothers for the first time on Tuesday. Excited. Keep up the good work buddy

As you guys know for gigging cover bands in the US it's a 4 hour proposition.

$500.00 is the top of the scale. We won't do business unless every member walks out with at least $100.00 in their wallet.

We able to off set that scale with the higher paying festival and fair gigs in the Sumner,


Some of you in the UK will say how can you play for 4 hours. My response, " it's easy, it's fun."

In response to OP - Leeds - £300. Blue - just got back from Nashville and Memphis. Watched bands do 4 sets. All had the bucket at the front for tips. I suspect many were earning next to nothing except the kudos of playing such iconic places. Some bars had 2 and 3 bands at the same time on different floors. Have to say the levels go musicianship, especially in Memphis was AMAZING! You guise earn your money!

Subscribed to a fellow Leeds Fans thread. Lovely wood. Waiting in interest buddy

Just be on guard to stave off people coming over the front line, they trip on the monitors, reach out and often pull the mic stands over on their way down. Often end up stopping people coming over with a firm hand to their back. You'll have a ball. It's what it's all about!

Yeah - the Leeds one - always draws me in to find next to no basses. Lots of tat and at least a fiver entry. Good to see the gnarly old rockers that turn up though

My 1976 Gibson Les Paul Triumph in white. I searched for years until I found it. I play it more than any of my other basses and will never sell it.

Cheers chaps. I've gone way back and it seems to have gone. Probably for the best. You know when you don't need something but you want it? Well that. Lovely white sexiness. Cheers. Andy

Is the holder a "she?"

I saw a pair of white TKS cabs for sale I think on a FB site (like BassPlayers Market or Buy/Sell/Swap) BUT the ad seems to have disappeared. Was only last week. Anyone see it and remember where it was?

I can't get my news feed to go back to last week and searching all the sites brings up nothing

IT'S NOT THE ONES FOR SALE ON THIS FORUM - these ones are white

Ringing any bells?

Thanks
Andy

Might be able to help. Can you send me a close up pic of the bit you need? Have some old bits. Thx Andy

I use the DR Sunbeams on my short scales and DR Black Beauties on the longer ones. I really like the BBs, they seem to last ages and somehow don't seem to get as grimy as standard strings, likely the coating. They are expensive but I prefer them. Have historically bought a few cheap sets from guitar fairs and shops as I have come across them but find they lose their sound very quickly and end up dull and unresponsive. Just my opinion. Andy

Hi - I was only on here last week crowing about the new 1973 EB3 I had just purchased.

I immediately sent it off to a guitar tech pal who set it up and it now plays as good as it looks.

The only gripe I have is the rear strap button. On the back by the neck. This means that, my middle aged man body tips the bass away from me. Plus had to swap a strap lock around on the strap to fit properly without twisting the strap.

Although loathe to mess with it, I am seriously considering moving the button to allow the bass to sit better.

Has anyone done this? after a bit of googling, I have seen them fixed to the underside of the upper horn.

This seems like it would fix the issue.

What do you think? should I leave well alone and persevere until I get used to it or go for the move?

Decisions, decisions.....

Thx
Andy

My first ever bass. Loved it. Sold it for £60. Bloke never paid me for it!!

Realised that the strap button is on the back of the body. Means that when worn, the bass tips forward (probably forced by my single six pack). Would you move it? I'd rather but a. Don't wanna desecrate it and b. Not sure where to? Upper horn? Back of heel? Anyone done this? Waddya think? Andy

Ha ha. No chance!

Am embarking on a Bowie covers project and wanted a Trevor Bolder style guitar. Picked up this beauty. 1973 EB. It's brown through age but upon removing the pick guard I discovered it's original delicious red wine colour. Hope you approve. Andy

Also - when I took off the pick guard, I also discovered an early owners name and address in Edinburgh scratched in along with 1976. How nice.

Glorious - Andreas Johnson - never heard another thing from him? Proper tune

Welcome aboard buddy. Good to see more West Yorkshire bassists joining the community
