    Remembering John Glascock (once more)

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    In light of the recent re-release of the Songs from the Wood album - 40 years ! - I'd like to put some love out there for the work of John Glascock - melodic, adventurous and a sheer bloody joy to listen to. Some good footage of them live in the accompanying dvd. He plays a lovely natural Stingray with white pickup cover.........

    Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses were the albums that drew me into Tulls music - a lot of that due to JG !

    Just heard this album in Tidal recently -

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxOIY-2OTWE

    Well worth a listen - I'd describe it as well written poppy prog - if that appeals

    Lee Pomeroy on bass and Trevor Horn produced so that may give you an insight into what it sounds like - elements of Buggles, Police, Tears for Fears, Trevor Rabin era Yes Id say.

    Fender Japan Precision Fretless??

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I've had a few over the years and all have been excellent. My current - see avatar - has the body of a PB62FL and the neck of a PB70USFL (sometimes PB70US-84FL - linked to price in Japan) - It's a colour/neck combo I've always wanted.

    If you prefer Jazz basses then there is of course the JB62FL.

    Best place to try apart from this forum would of course be e-bay, preferably from a seller in Japan - usually great to deal with - read, honest about condition and will pack and ship well.

    I got my basses new from Ishibashi - just before they got stopped by Fender from selling new basses. You can get used basses from their "U-box" [url="http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/e/"]http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/e/[/url]

    Nothing fretless there at present but you could fire an e-mail to them - they might have a "contact" that can get one from B)

    I always enjoy the hunt - wouldn't mind bagging a PB70US-TL (Phil Lynott) P-Bass - from somewhere tbh - might fire them an e-mail myself.....

    Good luck !

    RIP Rico

    Sad to hear of Ricos passing - his playing brought delight to many over the years.

    He played with Linton Kwesi Johnson amongst many others - I just adore this album and can recommend it to anyone - some great bass playing too !

    Bought an Aguilar Agro distortion box from Freddie. Couldn't have been easier and arrived super quick. So, highly recommended to y'all out there !

    Gasp!... New Rickenbacker basses!!

    I must admit...as being a lapsed Rick user I find these new 4003S bases are very tempting. Just hope they've managed to get the QC sorted out. Imagine one of these - mapleglo of course - with a toaster and a horseshoe........ :gas:

    I'm sure I've read of someone converting one of these into a 4000 replica already. Loved the picks of the picks of the 4000 a few posts ago btw.

    Some more soundings from people who've bought or tried one out would be great and very much appreciated...........

    I sold a Fender Modern Player 5 to Vic and found him to be a credit to this forum. Funds arrived quickly and he kept regular comms throughout the transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to everyone !

    Cheers Vic !

    Fender Tony Franklin fretless - any in shops anywhere?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    Stick a J pickup in one of these ?

    [url="http://www.theguitaremporium.com/Fender-Japan-PB62FL-FJ-PB62-FL.htm"]http://www.theguitar...-FJ-PB62-FL.htm[/url]

    I bought one of these from Ishibashi in about 2006 for oh about half the price above and stuck a neck from another Japanese P Bass - (PB70US ?) with an unlined maple fingerboard - see below.

    Could look out on e-bay or "nearly new" from Japan I guess.

    I prefer my fretless P Basses to have the "TV" decal on them - don't know if that would be a biggie with you ?
