police squad

I've won 3 P bass bodies from the Chris Cross sale at Gardiner Holgate. These will be duly filled and sprayed in the metal flake gold and purple. I'll try and relic the sunburst body to get that beaten up P bass too

cool but actually what I've done is keep it original by mending it. Someone else would have changed the pot. They are a strange looking pot, not like a CTS or anything

why? It didnt work and now it does

I repaired a volume pot on my 1964 Hofner last week. Prized off the cover plate and the bits inside the pot looked good, they just weren't touching. A wiggle with some pliers and presto, working again put the base plate back on and instead of rivets, inserted some wire and twisted it, to hold it together

🤣

I was going to repurpose my fretless, new neck and paint job is there fretless on any of the songs in the set list I posted That means I'll need rounds and flats, I've lost count now. 6 basses to every gig?

great, we can have a beer together

When I played on the same bill at Chinnerys, he used, a strat, a 12 string Ric, Gretsch, Explorer and something else I cant remember. This was for a 70 minute set. His rig was in stereo too. 2 x Blackstar heads and two 2x12 cabs. Guitars tuned to E and Eb.

I did the taurus thing in my Police tribute, they're unique but not this time

ah yes, of course

it appears half the set is standard tuning and half is E flat. Which is brilliant because it means I have to have 2 basses in different tunings and maybe a third as a spare!!

It's a shame he didn't play one of these Ive just got it out after 3 years in its case It's amazing

sorry missed this comment. It's defo loud enough thru the 4x10 on it's own

I was going to check with the guitarist about keys etc. But again, thanks for the headsup

Much how I am these days. Thanks for the insight

nice one. I'll shout if i get stuck. Does he use many FX on his sounds?

I know some of them

Beautiful Day I will follow New years Day Until the end of the world Walk on Desire Angel of Harlem All I want is you Elevation Vertigo Even better than the real thing Mysterious ways The fly I still haven't found what I'm looking for Pride(In the name of love) Sunday bloody Sunday One Bad (+40) Where the streets have no name With or without you

love it Here I am working out what basses to play when I should really be learning the set

I thought there was a purple one too but the gold does look fab maybe do myself one in gold and one in purple

previous bass player was using a Rik. First gig in Feb 22d. The Horns St Albans march 15th somewhere in Derby march 29th The Booking Hall in Dover June14th Corn Exchange Hertford always been a bit of a fan. Had a double gatefold single with I will follow on it

again, that's epic. What colour is it? I am going down this path to start with. I have a jazz neck with those kind of block on order atm I may repurpose my Police red fretless bass with a paint job and this neck

epic

I've just found out I've got the gig

I have a mate that will spray something up for me, so if I can source the bits cheaply, it should work But I'll need a spare of course and it won't be the Sherwood green Jazz, not at that price. I could get a 2nd hand Lakland, either the 44-60 or Daryl Jones model (Skyline one) The current Warwick is ugly. I quite like the reverse Warwick, could be worth a chinese punt. As for image, Guitarist has beany and hundreds of guitars on stage, he's a U2 anorak. I supported them last friday in Southend, the guitarist really nails it.
