Pickup routing done......... [attachment=101627:Clem8a.jpg]

Very pleased to have done business with our roon. Excellent comms and extra quick payment. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending him as good bod to have bass dealings with. Enjoy all those strings dude !

Talking of pickup placement - how does this look ? I've asked for the bridge pickup to be 3-5mm closer to the bridge by the way [attachment=101396:Clem7.jpg]

Sold pending the usual........ -
Folks, I have an HK 7-string bass that is not getting played as often as it should. Bought from new about 18 months ago and in excellent condition. Have had the back of the neck sanded and oiled as well as a good set up - both by Eltham Jones in Bristol - so plays very well indeed. Have replaced original strings with Rotosounds (much much better !) and some new batteries. Looking for £240 plus shipping. If you'd like to try before you by drop me a line - based in Newport South Wales. [attachment=100630:HK71.jpg] [attachment=100631:HK72.jpg] [attachment=100632:HK73.jpg] [attachment=100633:HK74.jpg]

Well, I went a bit mad last December and ordered a 6-string fretless from Tom Clement in Florida - a Singlecut bolt-on with neck and body both made from white limba, spalted maple top and diamondwood (unlined) fingerboard - 28 position as Tom would put it - that's 28 frets - if it had any) He's just started building it so I will put up piccies as they happen....... Body being glued together first - looks a bit Bo Diddley at the moment but I'm sure things will change in the next few weeks ! [attachment=100619:Clement1.jpg]

I love this colour - and the Montezuma brown. If got hold of one of these I'd pimp it with a gold pickguard and trussrod cover - oh, and throw in a toaster too............nice !

Just spotted one of the above at the Bass Gallery in Camden http://www.thebassgallery.com/BassProductListingTemplate.cfm?Brand=Wal&type=Bass%20Guitar&Cat_ID=1 Not cheap ! Didn't know there was a signature bass - or did this actually belong to the man himself ? Possibly not as it has a lined fingerboard. Any Wal experts out there know about these ? Would love to hear Percy spanking his Wal again .....mind you if Percy were to pick up any bass he would make sound like PJ that's for sure....

I love the PW bass tones - well, that and what he's playing on the album ! All time favourite bass tone for me is Hemispheres - the album that got me into the band - about '79 I think Back then I thought Squire and Burnel were bass gods - then I heard Geddy...... Sheesh ! Then came Percy, Jaco, Stanley etc etc.....

55-01 and 55-02 are identical - the only Lakland 5-string necks that aren't interchangeable with the 55-01/2 would be the Darryl Jones necks. I'm sure you could swap a 55-60/Joe Osbourne 5 or 55-64/Glaub 5 with a 55-01 or 55-02 neck. In fact at some point I'd like to swap a 55-64 neck with a 55-60/JO5 at some point - we'll see !

We'll at the moment it is the Raven album - good grief he's all over this disc - I love the groove, the melody, the tone on things like The Raven, Ice and Nuclear Device. Not to mention the outrageousness of Genetix...... A much overlooked album I would say [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLNacLOIaVw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLNacLOIaVw[/url]

....how about Alan Thomson.......who came to fame with John Martyn.........saw him first in a covers band in Strathclyde Uni just before he joined JM's band (1981?) ..........fantastic fretless sound live and in the studio....... Great recording quality here with John Martyn and some other guitarist (!) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmdKT4SShDY&feature=related[/media]

Feelin' the good feelin' surrounding Percy Jones ! What about this one from Steve Hillage - great simple line - even better groove - can't believe it's from 1979 ! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpLuX1kjYVw[/media]

I remember flying back to the UK from the States with a Hohner Steinberger clone just after the Lockerbie bombing. The case looked just like a rifle - drew lots of funny looks ! Very easily stored in the overheads though !
