[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1482019996' post='3197073'] I've played one or two and they were not great. [/quote] I had one and although it played well enough after a setup, the tuners were always naff and it sounded a bit cheap. Tuners and pup replacement maybe but for the extra money, a CV would be more economical. Plus the CV build quality is far superior.

Absolutely great. Some great basses there too. Wish I had access to instruments like that now, never mind when I was as young as they are!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1482012706' post='3197027'] Very much this. The CVs are a great all round guitar: build quality; hardware; finish; playability; all good. [/quote] Not played the CV Strat but the Tele's are great. I got one off Ebay for £200. Definitely worth saving a few more quid.

Have a look at Cash Converters, there's loads within that price range.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1481946923' post='3196497'] Think of something that makes you happy. Try to think about it in as much detail as you can. Enjoy it...a mug of warm milk and honey will sometimes do the trick too. [/quote] I thought about it and remembered there's a bottle of peach schnapps in the fridge. I'm not sure if I'm lucky or not? It's crap!

I've got 2 bulldogs, 2 Boston terriers and the wife snoring away next to me on the settee. Sleep is not happening. There must be some more beer somewhere...

I try but its not happening is it...

Can't do that. It's yank.

Sleep is for quitters... saying that I've no beer left.

How good is that! Welcome back!

Been through a similar scenario a few times myself with the same band (not your band!). Your "singer" is a duck. Full of himself. Do yourself a favour and dont be his puppet. Makes me wonder what the rest of the "band" think too? They are probably too fekin scared to say anything. Band? Spent a lifetime with the same sort of obnoxious click and regret most of it. Move on. Even if he and his "band" unlikely "make it", you would have been spared all the crap of uncertainty and pain. Sounds like you have "real" talent too. Move on and don't help them anymore. In my experience, a singers definition of a "band" is not what the rest of the musicians in it belive. Rant over!

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1481740927' post='3194784'] The making of documentary dvd in the deluxe edition is an eye-opener! The producer was really out there. Has to be seen. The bass tone on the title track is one of my favourite ever. The reason I bought a Dimarzio Model P! [/quote] Look on youtube for the making of the album. It's surreal!

I'm not worthy but I play many of the tracks live on a regular basis. What a fekin band!

I'm an underpaid guide dog...

I loved vinyl. Tangible, collectible, inner sleeves, coloured, different shapes etc etc, brilliant! Along came CO. I thought they were boring. The sound just seemed bland. Presentation was minimal in comparison. Took me many years to even possess a cd. I dont think I've ever bought one? Then came the download mp3 etc. Nothing but digital info. Impersonal and clinical. We can all get Mp3 and CO for free, rightly or wrongly. For me, you can't beat the buzz of spending your pocket money on something you really Want! Showing my age now I suppose! I used to look forward to amassing enough money to buy an album and then literally running to the music shop and buying what I wanted. Vinyl is the only medium that can do that in my eyes. CO etc took all the excitement out of buying a bands work for me. The sound was not and is not the same. CD technology was and still is flat and soulless in comparison. Mp3 download is just too clinical, just like digital photo's are not the same as holding a photo in your hand and being able feel it and relate to it. Hypocritically, my extesive vinyl collection is in the attic but now converted to mp3 on a small hard drive that takes up a lot less space. If I had the room though, the vinyl would be my first and only choice.

Could make a good tour bus for a three piece too! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triplet-tandem-cycle-spare-and-repairs-/272466975602?hash=item3f704c1b72:g:k~EAAOSw5cNYPIJK

Found that with a through neck, I can make do with 22 frets for the stuff I play. I can reach to the 22nd with ease. With a bolt on, I would need 24 frets as the neck/body butt prohibits my reach. With a bolt on the 23rd and 24th frets i cannot reach. Chubby little mits you see...
