  1. I bought a fretless neck from these guys, 10 years ago. It was fine and is still holding up today https://eyparts.com/ having just looked, the necks are hard to find but they are there
  2. I think that would have been Jonathan Noyce
  3. lol, yeah I did a few shows with my guitar amps in 2007/08. The noise!! Fun though
  4. Well it works I have no idea what I'm going to do with it Yet😂
  5. Agreed. Such a gentleman
  6. just turned up. Off work early today so should get a chance to have a play after I've walked the pooch
  7. ordered yesterday. fingers crossed
  8. Hi Brad, welcome. I love the ABC stuff. Chris T was a friend of mine, really great working with him. You've played some great stuff, on some great stuff
  9. my 80s duo has about a hundred songs. I switch them about a fair bit but since the keys player has been on shifts, we haven't learned anything new for about a year The 80s band though has the same set from its conception 4 years ago. We've added 3 or 4 more since then and can leave or add them in. Police tribute is pretty much the same songs learned when I started it 17 years ago. But it's more than 2 x 45 minuts sets, so can switch numbers in and out
  10. I have an almost immaculate P bass special from about 1981, I had this as my lounge bass but realised that I was starting to gouge ths one as well, so put it away. Good band name Gouged Out!!
  11. I wonder if the custom shop could replicate this bass of mine The wear under the G string is casued by my third finger digging in when I play with a pick (mostly I play with a pick) This bass has done a lot of gigs in its 34 years with me. The wood is actually gouged out, not just the finish It's actually a '73 not a'75 (I have the original bridge with the long screw for the G string intonation)
  12. when I was making guitar amps, I had a trade account with them. When testing new things on the amps, always put a fresh set on roto yellows on which ever guitars I was using. Had many sets of RS66 too. that was 18 ish years ago. Great strings
  13. I had a set but they were too stiff for me, switched to Fender flats 45-100
  14. I worked with a bloke who was going to buy the 'First Class' monika. luckily it didn't happen
  15. most useful purchase was the MI-PRO 58 wireless IEM system Most not used, Ashdown preamp pedal, it's a great bit of kit but not used in anger (yet) Most interesting must be my early 1964 Hofner 500/1 beatle bass and not bass related, my Brain May 'Super' red special
  16. 30 to 40 per year for me these days. Used to be about a hundred for many years but over the last 15 years down to about 50 a year, but I'm finding more time off is better
  17. I'm sending my show reel in, thanks for the heads up😀
  18. yes I did pay duty and vat. It was still a good solution at the time. I read somewhere that they were still active, so maybe their website does need updating
  19. Hi Ian my wife put these on her Precision, 11 years ago https://fretfx.com/ they worked very well but we had to get a replacement as one LED went out. It was replaced under warranty but the glue pulled the nitro laquer from the neck. It didnt matter because the new one covered it over hope you're ok matey
  20. also Meet Loaf on his 'farewell tour' as few years ago His voice was shocking but the backing singer carried him through and the band were on fire. This was at the o2 and the second set was Bat out of hell in its entirity
  21. no same bassist, he's excellent I went the year before and it was tune after tune, slick as hell. But this year just was a bit disappointing. I'm a huge It Bites fan too. Too much waffling between songs, as funny as Frank can be though, I just wanted songs
  22. it's so nice to hear that I'm not the only one We are a team, best freinds etc. She also plays bass and we've done two bands together. Our house is full of gear too. The support she gave me when I slipped a disc was heroic She was also right by my side when I was learning the Bucks Fizz stuff for my audition. Helping me with dance moves etc Lockdown was fabulous
  23. i saw the searchers last year and they were fabulous, weird isn't it Dr and the Medics, in the 80s. awful Francis Dunnery recently in Islington. Band wern't very slick as the line up had changed, Chad Wakkerman on drums was good though
  24. For sale is my P bass Lyte. In pretty good nick actually. One nasty bruise down by the jack socket. Slim neck, strung with a set of Roto swing bass. I bought this 22 years ago, gigged it a bit then lent it to my brother in Italy. I got it back about 5 years ago but it just hangs on my wall so it's time to move it on. No trades on this one and would rather meet than courier but I can courier if wanted Pictures for you and any more please ask
  25. fabulous basses these. Great neck on them but sadly too heavy for me these days
