Hi, These guys are not too far away and are a very good live band doing general covers http://boxeddy.com/ Mention Rog from Yodaclub recommended them to you

Ill thought out maybe, but I quite like it!

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4ODN1c_6ik[/media] hilarious rage against the clank stick But in the interests of restoking the GAS [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xoj1zX1_F0[/media] [/quote] So I am guessing the guy in the first clip is not a huge fan then! his comments did make me smile

The trouble seems to be nowadays we are offered increasingly poor service and if we want a better service (what would have been a standard service 10 years ago) we are now expected to pay a premium for it We are having a cooker delivered this week, if we wanted it delivering some time between 9am on Thursday 26th May and August the 15th, it was free, if I wanted to narrow it down at all it became more expensive, if I wanted to narrow it down to a specific day and during daylight hours...well that was in the ultra premium bracket! It's like the current parcel delivery options from Royal Mail, for a top premium price they will deliver next day at a specific time, for a lower price they will deliver with a couple of days and for a rock bottom price they will deliver to someone in your postcode area and you get to go and find it! In a few years time it will even cost you to go and collect it from the sender, the standard service will be you pay for it and they don't let you have it

Maybe like marmite but they work for me in any band I'm in. [/quote] Definitely Marmite, I had one of the Squier Telecaster basses, it played as well as any other Fender I have played, I just couldn't stand the muddy sound from the pickup, long since sold on now, I have replaced it with a Mike Dirnt Precision, Telecaster looks with a Precision sound....perfect!

I share your pain, I am lusting after one at the moment but I am struggling to justify spending well over a grand for a new one especially as I already have some lovely basses. I know it will happen at some point, but I am still fighting the GAS for the moment Just to add fuel to your GAS I played a couple in PMT Northampton the other year and was really impressed with them, both played far better that the copies I have owned.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1463994157' post='3055532'] Get into the habit of 'accidentally' smacking people round the back of the bonce with your headstock. You'll find that your allotted stage space will magically increase... [/quote] I had this exact discussion with our singer / guitarist at the last gig once I realised I had about 1 foot square to put me and my gear in, I had all the room I needed after clouting him round the back of the head when he decided to leap in the air mid song and promptly staggered off the front of the (fortunately un-raised) stage clutching his head...Precision bass 1 singer's head 0

I guess it depends on which way the tail piece is fitted, I would have thought the pointy bit would face backwards making it left handed...if you get my drift!

It is a Precision for me but I have finally found a bitsa Jazz that I really like and have gigged, but the Precision is always my go to bass

You can get the Nitro to check very quickly, the trouble is I am not exactly sure how or why it happened so quickly! I have just done a Candy Apple Red Precision body, the gold undercoat was done in standard Halfords aerosol cans with a Nitro red tint and Lacquer over the top, the gold had been on for a good six months or more as I had been using the bass in gold for quite a while. I did the red tint outside on a chilly but dry day and once touch dry moved the body on to the window sill upstairs in direct sunlight, then about 3 days later I did exactly the same with the lacquer coat, I then left it for a couple of weeks before assembling and noticed the finish had checked beautifully. I did another Precision body in a vintage yellow but used Nitro from start to finish, that has not checked at all, so I am wondering if it was some kind of reaction between the Halfords Gold and the Nitro top coats

How much It looks like something you might find in your local "Crack Converters" Tastefully butchered by a five year old

Unless I am looking at the picture wrong, it looks to be for a left handed bass? Quite an important omission from the description if that is the case!

Lady, you rocked!

This seems to be turning into a thread of describe the decades in a few words with maximum impact! here go's 60's birth to 4 years, great pedal car, Jimmy Young on the radio, my sister wasn't born...life was good 70's 4 to 14, She came along and spoilt everything, one hot summer and Nottingham Forest won in Europe....life was ok 80's 14 to 24 discovered punk, girls, punk girls, soft drugs, cars and playing bass...life was good...oh yeah, had child! 90's 24 to 34, music went downhill, got job, paid rent, started to have to accept responsibility....life was ok 00's 34 to 44 music and technology start passing me by, working longer, responsibility greater, mortgage payments increase....I loved the 80's 10's 44 to date, scared of technology now, everything hurts more and for longer. hoping decline doesn't continue at current rate otherwise 20's may be of no interest to me! Life don't talk to me about life

yes you will but, taking into account postage and import taxes can you get it cheaper over here? If the answer is yes then buy it over here, if the answer is no buy it from Japan and pay the taxes. I brought some pickups from the US earlier in the year, after shipping and import taxes they were still £18.00 cheaper than the cheapest price I could get in the UK, so I imported and saved myself a little cash.....then didn't use the pickups so have them sitting in a box awaiting a future project!

I also liked the Georgia entry

Might watch it tonight, we have avidly watched it every other year but I am fed up with the political voting

Now sold, back breakingly beautiful cab. I would buy another in an instant if I had roadies to move it for me!

I gave it a go, I have no formal musical knowledge so some of the scales I probably can do but I wouldn't know what they were if they smacked me in the face, same with some of the accenting questions, I quite probably know more than I think I do and can certainly play more than my musical knowledge suggests interesting survey, thanks

We used to find Mr Brightside was a great floor filler, other than that Sex on Fire, Chelsea Dagger or I predict a Riot tended to get a great response

They may be worth a go on my fretless, I love the sound of rounds on a fretless but not the damage they do to the fret board, I will give some a go

No idea but clearly good for metal!

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1462823181' post='3046074'] Ha ha it would be the least of my worries.I wonder what it sounds like [/quote] You would welcome a Hernia? Are you a crazy man

I started with an unlined fretless, it will really help you listen to what you are playing, as others have said a fretless gives you a lot more freedom than a fretted bass but with that freedom comes a trade off of it being a lot easier to sound horrible if you are not concentrating
