[quote name='Bigwan' timestamp='1403210685' post='2480885'] These appeared in the '84 ESP catalogue - looked it up while researching the two that have been on eBay recently (this looks like one of them - marks on the lower bit look the same, missing knows, same flaming pattern, same neck pocket gap on treble side). Jealous - I should have bid a little higher on it! Really nice looking bass.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1403205101' post='2480836'] I've no info, but I always liked the look of these. Interested to hear how you get on with it. [/quote] The only problem with it is that there is about a 2-3 mm gap either side of the neck pocket. But so far, it's all grand. Probably going to add a thumb rest just above the pickup, just as an anchoring point for playing.

Got this bass in a trade, the previous owner has no info about it, other than it possibly came from the 80's. Anyone know more about it?

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1396127629' post='2410300'] Not fitting a bands image to get the gig has nothing to do with being a session player. You do sessions on a track.... and you may not even need to play outside a studio. If you don't get a gig for visual reasons, then that is down to who is doing the hiring but sessions were traditionally studio dates [/quote] Sorry, should have been clearer, meant a session player in a live context. The studio still accepts me. It doesn't judge me, it accepts me for who I am!

Hey guys. I've auditioned for a few bands recently, and all of them have said I was 'too tall' to fit in with the image. Does anyone else have any experience with this. I know there's nothing I can do about it, but still, feeling a little bitter about it all.

Probably my old Carvin R600 Combo. Very lifeless. Tried it with a separate cab, and it only got worse :/

Hey guys, the rough streets of London have taken their toll on the casters of my cab, and 2 of them have broken. Any ideas if they are standard sized casters, or would I have to buy Aguilar's official wheels, and if so, anywhere I can buy them in the UK? Cheers

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1385073944' post='2284307'] It amazes me that a whole new generation are hearing songs from my youth without even knowing it and thinking it's something new. It really is a strange old world. [/quote] Some people will hear Ain't no mountain and wonder why they stole Amy's bassline. Sad times.

[sup]Hey guys, wondering if you could settle my mind today[/sup] [sup]A piece of music came on the radio today, and the bass line sounded really similar to the intro/verse line in 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' but can't think for the life of me what it is. [/sup] [sup]Any ideas anyone?[/sup]
