police squad

I had a scarab once. It played really nice but I never got on with the sound. I'd love to try it again now, now I understand things better (I'd only been playing about 7 years, I was gigging 4 times a week in those days but didn't really understand what made things sound different)

I think you're wrong here. It was damaged during shipping. They cant be expected to unpack everything and check it, then put it back imto the box.

yep good experience for me too. Bought a Korg electric piano. A piece was broken, I sent them a photo and the new piece was sent out from Korg.

In the 90s i was in a band (classic rock covers mainly) with my older brother. We did 6 years and just over 600 gigs together. We had a right laugh (most of the time). We've reformed for a few special events over the years (namely important birthdays, a stag night) and always have fun

The black one with dots came from Livewire. I bought it in the summer of 1983

I've had two. A black one with dots on the pointy bits (also owned by someone else on here at some point) and one with an Inlayed tiger on the top horn (also owned by someone else on here) Great basses, a bit heavy I dont have a handy picture of the tiger bass

I loved my Flea bass. Superb pickups and I loved how the finish was wearing but I moved it on eventually, as the band I used it for finally disolved

PM sent

the ignition basses are hollow and do have THAT sound. I have a contempory 500/1 (violin) and they sound slightly different because they have a solid bit running through them. But with the La Bella flat on it, it goes thud (very nicely) The Clubs do look cool though

Looks great

you do yes, and at 105 quid, simply rude not to get one

I have La Bella deep talking bass on my hofner and they make my fingers sore, when I dont use a pick I have Fender 9050L on my mustang and one of my P basses and I love them, the sound and the feel

they look good those QSC speakers

ten years ago I ditched my Wharfedale stuff for 2 x QSC K12s and 2 x Ksub. awesome they are and fantastically reliable. I would always recommend them. I haven't tried or even seen the new updated versions

yep, did my back 20 years ago. Lower down and now I have a disc sitting slightly out, which I can feel. I am just very careful these days. I dont leap about like I used to (think Sting, jumnping out and down) and I sure don't carry heavy stuff these days All bass gear is class D, I don't use any backline on duo gigs and no monitors now as I have gone IEM I do still lug the PA about but thats as light as it can be, QSC K12s and Ksubs

looks cracking

I'm afraid that interviewer isn't very good,

I would say, some Ed Shearan and that Uptown funk song, also Marry you by Bruno Mars

the Precision at the very back there, That looks to have the same neck profile as my '73. What year is it please

what colour did you go for?

I didnt take any, which is unlike me I'm afraid

I took my HB P bass to its first Policed gig on Saturday. I rolled the fingerboard edges and cut the nut a little deeper, so the action was nice. My word, what an amazing bass. It sounded wonderful, the big neck sat lovely in my hand. The band commented on what a great bass sound I had. I couldn't recomend this bass enough, yes it needed a little set up and the rolled edges are amazing but it's just a great instrument.

you need to charge at least £200 per band member, then add a mileage and hotel charge

My wife went for an audition and took my RM. She has the same problem but didnt know about the switch (it hadn't happened to me at that point so I couldn't warn her about it
