My first purchase in a few years. I've always wanted a block and bound lpb jazz with matching headstock and now have one. Price wise I couldnt resist as it seemed a bargain. Starting to wonder whether it would be more suitable for a funk band and a bit flashy for me! Not seen many of these around, serial number suggests 2004-05, possibly seen one on this site before so maybe the same one.

I love a bit of sillieness when miming. must be loads out there. this is eels with mini instruments or are they giants?

Some guitarist named Andy McKee. Nice enough acoustic stuff but all very samey and no real oomph. It was a sit down gig and I was pretty near the front so for fear of offence I stayed until the interval. Nme tour when the datsuns headlined. Very underwhelming as polyphonic spree played just before them. corrosion of conformity with clutch as support. Bought the tickets to see clutch and had Never heard the headliners before so was willing to given them a chance, 2 songs was enough.

I've been looking for an age to get one. I managed to buy a budget one second hand that turned out to be a gibson copy except its long scale for not a lot of money. Im in the process of gradually getting it fixed up but the longscale neck makes it not so nice to play. I live in hope of a new rivoli to be released. Revelation guitars have a good rep I believe, there is this model that caught my eye but havent seen one in the flesh. https://thebassgallery.com/products/revelation-rgb

I saw someone else picked a smog song. this one from Dongs of Sevotion would be my choice. self explanatory title

cheers john. I think it would be a shame if I lost the grain as it does look quite nice in certain light. If i was going for a solid colour I'd probably want to go for something completely different. going to have a look at some vintage cherry red colours.

Not seen it all this year as its the same time as my sons' bed time but I worked on it between 2011 and 2014. Always seriously impressed by the musicianship.

I thought I'd reopen this thread. I tried various stripping products including acetone and got off most of the yucky paint. so much of the body had been badly sanded that any hope of patching it up just seemed pretty pointless. As I had some time on my hands I went in and sanded the front and back with a low grit. I've left the sides and neck (the sides have been badly sanded but only roughly. Not sure I can face doing them! here's a pic of it, managed to stop going through original sealant, the white patches are where the previous owner and probably me sanded through. any ideas what I should do next? I figure I need to go through a few grits to make it nice and smooth. I was thinking maybe stain it a vintage red and lacquer it. or stain and oil? I have ideas of maybe changing the decal to chibson also.

Did a gig with an house 90s carlsbro combo and it was quite possibly my favourite sound I have played with. it seems to have been the room that did me favours and generally I sound pretty much the same through whatever I play

I wish it had a matching painted headstock!

Mine would be Barafundle Bloc.

I’ve been put off by pmt as the few things I have tried have been straight from the box and needed quite a bit of adjusting. This puts me of buying completely.

I was going to say chris cornell. similar kind of phrasing. reminiscent of cave in as well. I like it.

I gave up with Dr who when the story arcs seemed bigger than the stories. hoping the new one reignites my interest. Some good box sets on bbc Iplayer at the moment which they are promoting Loads of louis theroux, tonnes of comedy ( I reccomend man like mobeen and flat tv.) My fave prog recently has been the secret life of Landfill and the five billion pound super sewer.

thanks for the replies. I managed to actually peel some of the paint by picking it! will look out for some pure acetone. It really does need to come off. I dont intend to do much afterwards. I should add its a chinese gibson copy. I think I'd prefer if it didnt say gibson on the headstock really! playing wise its really nice, the intonation is good without any adjustment and no bad parts neck wise. I'd always intended buying an epi rivoli or guild starfire but this was just too much of a bargain

Glad to see this is still being shown. I worked on it. A few people on here hated it but meh. We were so close to interviewing sly ...

Hello. Picked this up today. It's my dream bass bar the finish. Looks like someone has had a go with their airfix painting kit and sander. I have some bio ethanol and some nail polish remover that managed to move some of this paint with some elbow grease but any tips on how to remove it all with a bit of ease would be great. Ideally I'd like to see what it looks like with the original paint and maybe just polish up rather than do a refin at the mo.

thanks everyone for the replies! Just trying to figure out what to do with it now. its not really weighty or particularly light.

Hello I bought this body about 12 years ago on eBay for not much- it was sold as pine so assumed that's what it was. The intention was to use it to practice on with painted my/ sanding finishing and then eventually turn it into a little table. i found it in my attic the other week and offered it to a carpenter friend to make a something with- he thinks it isn't pine. Anyways what do you think? I'm tempted to think about turning it into some sort of guitar now or perhaps gifting it to someone and then buying it back once they finished !

Thanks Pete. It does. Will take a look

Hello, anyone found a decent alternative to the line 6 Px-2 supply?Its for my DL-4. I believe the same plug is used for other line 6 items like the bass pod so thought I'd ask here. The reason I am asking for an alternative plug is that I've had two that have broken on me. neither lasted long and neither were used much either. I am a little wary of buying a cheap one from amazon so just wondered if anyone had any thoughts? thanks

Ozzy also sang on was not was' shake your head with Kim basinger . Originally recorded with pre famous madonna but was vetoed.

Popped into a strings just after Christmas. They had some nice stock bass wise and quite possibly the best selection of bass strings I've ever seen. Nice bunch as well. Re: cranes, they have a shop in Swansea still which was a shadow of its former self. Not much bass wise and plenty of budget stuff. Lots of super strat pointy stuff but not to my taste. Gamlins can be really hit and miss- if it's the fella who does set ups you are into a winner or the the other younger guy- or the blonde fella- if it's the guy in his late 40s sitting at the computer at the back, you'll be lucky to be acknowledged

Remember, cash is tax free!

thanks for this. probably the closest I'll get to hearing one! I've just been doing some searching online and there appears to be a hutchins chandler model in sea foam green also. maybe named after chas chandler? the revelation seems to have a gibson style bridge compared to the richwood or hutchins though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hutchins-Chandler-Semi-Acoustic-Bass-Guitar/263308618294?hash=item3d4e6aaa36:g:xk4AAOSwkepZjFCs I'm regretting not buying one secondhand recently. Tis a shame there isnt an epiphone version.
