police squad

and they made it left handed for him, which was unusual. He also started playing bass in Germany I think, when Stuart left

I've seen her using a Status and a JayDee in the past

As a life long John Taylor fan I simply had to get myself one of these Dingwalls. I don't really do more than one pickup and volume, tone knob. This was b stock from Thomann. It had been used in their photos and has a slight ding on the back An amazing set up, action as low as Ive ever played and the pre-amp is amazing too. If only I had some gigs booked that weren't tribute gigs. Fanned frets. My word, just don't look at them. It does sound quite P bass like on the neck pickup I'll bring the Ampeg into my music room over the christmas break and see how it really sounds

how does it sound thru an amp, neck pickup turned all the way up and bridge pickup turned all the way down?

I paid 600 quid for mine, when I auditioned for The Fizz. Sang live, they edited it and I was very happy It got me my audition I'm thinking about doing one for my Police tribute too but that would be more money as it's a band set up I've lost a bit of weight since that was filmed, crikey

I've recently had 2 violin basses, a contemporary union jack bass and a 1964 bass. both are marvellous instruments but the '64 is just amazing. recently sold the union jack bass but the '64 is going nowhere. It is so easy to play

I've recently rediscovered 'Trouser Flapping' with my V4B 'tis a wonderful thing even with IEMs A mate of mine gigs (in pubs) with an Ampeg SVT 300 and 8x10 It's not just trouser flapping, it's insane looks great and if was was younger I'd be doing it, like I did 35 years ago

those fret ends must be finished like that before installaion, otherwise how could it be done I think I'd be tempted to roll the fingerboard edges too

sad news indeed. hopefully someone will step in and save them

@BigRedX did a version of I believe in father christmass with his old band that is superb, hopefully he'll post a link to it

nice score

makes me laugh every year

I had a WHUFC one. It had its own sound maple body. Massive difference in sound to alder or ash I prefer alder to ash. It's worth a listen.........................but too heavy for me now

yep in my diary too.
