i had a laney aor 50 watt head and 2x12 cab brilliant setup had to sell due to space money issues sadly

that neck was probably hewn from the same tree as fender custom shop used in fact i recall a story of Trevor one of the custom shop employees clocking off for work one evening and as we all know Trevor in the custom shop was a forgetful old soul well on this particular evening Trev left his kebab in the oven in the custom shop canteen jumped on his moped got home blissfully unaware of his timebomb kebab he retired for a nap! he awoke to the sound of sirens but thought nothing of it and tucked into a bottle of bourbon and retired for the evening next morning Trev arose ate some waffles or some such and returned to his job at Fender custom shop when he arrived the place was still smoldering yes you guessed it the great fender custom shop fire of 1993 was all Trevs fault anyhow this smoke damaged relic was all that could be saved so you could say it is even rarer for it !! i did read leo Fender or at least the ghost of leo fender himself saved this neck himself hence the reason it turned up in a bin in Bracknell with no explanation spooky id say so there you have it possibly the rarest of the rare touched by the ghostly hand of Leo Fender if you look close enough you can make out a faint breath mark possibly Leo's last breath

I saw that as well, cant work out whats going on with the pickup though

there are quite a few different types but i managed to get some to fit my old dynacord on ebay so sourcing the part shouldnt be too hard

graham oliver of Saxon fame had a white SG too [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QClH8HvxStA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QClH8HvxStA[/url]

and if your amps crap you might end up with a farty jack & danny

ive been through many basses but i always have a Precision of some description ive been through many precisions too a 1975,1977 two japanese E serial number versions, a precision lite 1998 hot rod precision and many copies maya,marlin, encore, sunn my two at the moment are a squier silver series fitted with an onlymusic.com pickup sounds great and the neck is really nice and a Cheri korean p bass copy fitted with a dimarzio pickup i think its a maple body with a really nice slender neck great bass

Too late! ive already found the bass of my dreams [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/unique-2-string-bass-and-amp-50/1029253701"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/unique-2-string-bass-and-amp-50/1029253701[/url] perfect for a rocket roll band! or a sigue sigue sputnik tribute!

as long as its as described your ok and if it isnt just decline it and say to them its not as the description

I think the sb elite I is the same bass

I have bass centre stadium bass which is a rebadged MTD grendel, nice and light but very well put together has a bartolini active circuit and pickups,its my favourite bass at the moment

yes my old hot rod precision hat a little semi circle cut out so you could access it with the truss rod tool but if you dont have the cut out you just remove the neck its a bit of a worry if they didnt think to remove the neck they should have least asked what you wanted first

i remember when i first started playing at my mates house through there stereo which i think involved plugging into an input then putting the casstte player to record then hearing our our marlins crackle to life his marlin superstrat and my marlin bass it really was terrible then later recording our band practices through a mono cassette player,i had an ampeg cab and a selmer pa valve head i didnt think much of it at the time but when i listened back to the tapes it sounded pretty good sadly i left the selmer at the rehearsal space and lost the tapes my first taste of the high life was when my friend met a keyboard player with a fostex 4 track and to top it all he had a little bar in his house i cant remember what we recorded was a bit soft rock for my liking but the beer was good my only recording stuff i personally owned was a roland 840ex zip disc 8 track and now im using my computer with an emu 0404 which i have to say is nice and easy to use so far although ive not mastered the midi keyboard and adding drums sadly

his voice is something........just something!

they have softened the old image these days mind!

yeah they never do that anymore when all the bands wanted to claim the title of loudest band in the world and the like

the last time i had my bass set up i got it back and there was a bit of fret buzz so i learnt to do it myself everyone has personal preferences regarding setup, so i found its easier for me to do it to my own liking

shame the birthday girl didnt appreciate all your efforts my worst memories are turning up to play a gig and the venue had shut down doh!

i think the czech made basses are real quality, wenge fretboard, mine has a proper flame maple cap combined with the schaller tuners hipshot bridge and bartolini electronics for the price i got mine for it was a bargain and ive never been a fan of jazz basses as such but it just feels and plays so nicely

ive still got my manowar blow your speakers 12" with free poster had to borrow a £1 off a schoolmate to grab it out the bargain bin in Our Price

i love that song i play it onto the G#m and it works for me
