  1. chrome on white for me
  2. me too, I know a drummer who plays with Steve Bolton and I've asked him if Steve is doing it but not heard yet
  3. I can't find out who is in his touring band for this tour. Any ideas
  4. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  5. REALLY? ARE YOU SERIOUS? This is as bad as people that think the wood doesn't make any difference to the tone. Pickguard on the 51 totally flips up the sound. It messes with the resonance, this is why Sting's bass tech (Danny) removes them. (er... just joshing. When new, pickguard all the way. When beat up, n pickguard)
  6. I've actually just shared this to my facebook page, you never know, some of my FB friends may donate. They are mostly musos and it may touch their hearts too
  7. I'm a bit late to the party, but I've chucked in too. Good luck guys
  8. you just haven't played the right one. I have been a P bass user since 1988. Love em, all shapes and sizes. I've had a '62 with its wide shallow neck, my '73 is chunky(ish) and I've had old Squiers and my Bravewood. All slightly different necks but all still lovely. Now, 2 years ago I bought the Fender Flea bass. Finally a jazz bass that works for me. I've never been a fan of the slim neck or the pickups, but the Flea packs a punch in all departments Worth trying one (it's all I play in my pub rock band)
  9. where are you Gargouill?
  10. the pickups in the Flea jazz are very good. '64 re issue from fender IIRC
  11. I remember John at Bravewood building that bass. He (like me) is a big fan of Sting. I also have the jap version, its very good but that Bravewood will be awesome good luck with the sale
  12. are they DC built? They look fab
  13. police squad

    PRicky?

    he was trying to get a precision sound from his Ricks. He loved the rick shape but wanted a P bass sound. However, they still sounded like ricks
  14. I think it looks cool. I sometime take a fretless to my rock band gigs. It just looks great
  15. my Fender Flea jazz bass. So it was about 800 quid. I grew up lusting after Herbie Flowers Jazz, stack pots, blue etc. But I have a thing for shell pink too. shell pink, stack knobs (but I love P basses right) It's still my number one after 2 years
  16. I don't change anything. I set it for one sound, manually. Think the intro to Don't stand so close to me. I didn't think it would store different patches but I'm not very techy. Now pass me my mobile phone so I can see what my settings are!! I Photographed the minitaur settings and look at the picture when I use it
  17. That's another fine job Rick
  18. pedaltrain two . 31 x 32 x 5 cm
  19. my wife had one of those, it was great but she preferred her Precisions
  20. I use a Mcmillan 12 step with a minitaur, all mounted on a pedal train. works well, when I can be bothered to take it with me unused for a couple of years now
  21. I paid £110 for my music master in 1983. Sold it a year later for £70. I'd love it back, it was my first fender bass
  22. For sale is a pair of EY guitar parts Thunderbird pickups and surround rings in nickel Cost new now just over $100 (US Dollars) plus duty and VAT. I bought these to put into a USA Thunderbird as they are quite well respected on Talkbass. They have sat on my desk unopened since I bought them. In fact I have only just unwrapped them to photograph them. The bridge pickup is slightly hotter than the neck. I can post or you can collect and have a cup of tea in the seaside town that is Deal, Kent any questions, fire away
  23. It looks stunning. Bravewoods are absolutely amazing. I have one (Sting Replica), my wife has one ('63 replica) and my bro has a '68 strat replica GLWTS
  24. FWIW, I think you did the right thing. Good people do the right thing. He sounds like a derrière (french for behind lol, I used the word that rhymes with grass)
