You look awfully hairy and tatto'd for a 14 year old!
  2. Or you could buy 200 Sue Ryders ... Re: Clarky's Quest - The Movie, can I be played by Johnny Depp or the dude that played Aragorn (wearing a grey wig of course) then there might be a bit more action in the Clarky household
  3. [quote name='chris_b' post='1153530' date='Mar 8 2011, 10:44 AM']The rule should be to put SOLD alongside the post title and leave the detail for others to view.[/quote] I agree with this. It encourages trust in the BC community and helps place a value when buying/selling items
  4. I had the same with a Thunderbird. Lusted for 30 plus years, bought one last year and hated the skinny neck and ergonomics for the right hand. Sold it straight away to BCer norris who I am glad to say loves it!
  5. I will be there on Saturday. Think middle-aged, slightly chubby, long-ish grey hair and that's me. Like the avatar pic left but without the zombie make-up!
  6. If a single H was good enough for Bernard Edwards ....
  7. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1152898' date='Mar 7 2011, 08:04 PM']Hmmm ... fast and tricky? Dangerous ground. Perhaps you meant fast or tricky but not both at once?[/quote] The slash / was deliberate. I don't do simultaneous fast [i]and [/i] tricky Some would argue I am capable of neither, mainly audiences and other band members
  8. I too would be interested due to the reasonable string gauges. I had Roto Tru Bass which sounded fabulously thumpy and DB-like but the D and G strings were so fat it inhibited me playing anything fast/tricky.

    wesfinn

    Eching the above, Wes was a gent to deal with in my sale of a Fender 62RI Jazz neck and paid uber-fast
  11. Gareth bought some Fender tuners and a bridge from me. Paid super-fast and as before was a pleasure to deal with!
  12. [quote name='Johnston' post='1152040' date='Mar 6 2011, 11:12 PM']Your link didn't work for me Clarky.

Your link works
  13. FYI, our album "The life and death of ..." is out now on download. We are still debating whether to produce CDs or vinyl as the physical format. 10 songs, roughly 40 minutes, and very swampy! Its £3.99 as a download on Amazon or £7.90 (not sure why so much more) on iTunes [attachment=74107:51St_OzT...._SS500_.jpg] Amazon link: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Death-Explicit/dp/B004Q2G3OU/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Death-Explici...ef=pd_rhf_p_t_1[/url]
  14. Our album "The life and death of ..." is out now on download. We are still debating whether to produce CDs or vinyl as the physical format. 10 songs, roughly 40 minutes, and very swampy! Sadly I am not on the album as it was recorded just prior to me joining. I will be on the next one though Its £3.99 as a download on Amazon [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Death-Explicit/dp/B004Q2G3OU/ref=dm_ap_alb3?ie=UTF8&qid=1299450071&sr=8-14"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Death-Explici...071&sr=8-14[/url] or £7.90 (not sure why so much more) on iTunes [attachment=74108:51St_OzT...._SS500_.jpg]
  15. Bump. Looks much like this stock picture: [attachment=74102:BB_3410_010_2.jpg]
  16. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1151736' date='Mar 6 2011, 06:43 PM']Has anyone suggested a Sue Ryder yet?[/quote] or my Alleva-Coppolo which has a a B width neck and nails all the J, super J and P-alike sounds. Yours for £2850 or trade for your vintage P. Yes I know, wasn't really being serious Surely a Musicman Stringray is the way to go? P-type neck, does funk, does rock, classic design, cheap as chips second hand right now ....
  17. [quote name='kingofthestuntmen' post='1151733' date='Mar 6 2011, 06:42 PM']Erm, just the one and it's kinda old and not in very good nick. Can't imagine it'd be of any interest to anyone[/quote] Thats where you are wrong. I think it looks fabulous, like its played a million gigs with a million stories to tell
  18. Sold to either Gareth Hughes, if they fit his bass, or if not to derreybass
  19. I asked a similar question in a recent thread, Gareth, although focusing on replacement pickups rather than EQ. This might be of interest: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=121004&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=121004&hl=[/url]
  20. Reverse tuners from a US 62 reissue Jazz. Please note these will only go on a Fender RI (or identical) neck due to the mechanism sticking proud of the backplate (to accommodate this, there are circular holes drilled in the back of the headstock). So I think any 'ordinary' Fender headstock would have to be modified to take these. £40 posted please See here for pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=125762&pid=1151313&st=0&#entry1151313"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry1151313[/url]
  21. I have three: my Alleva-Coppolo LG4 (a super-Jazz), my '71 Fender P/J and my Fender Tony Franklin fretless. Here's pics of first two [attachment=74033:AC4_002.jpg][attachment=74034:P1040057.JPG] and my TF (not got a pic) is a more brightly-coloured twin of my '71 and looks just like this: [attachment=74035:55U_4543...dy_front.jpg]
  22. Neck is provisionally sold without tuners. So anyone for a set of ten year-old Fender tuners?
  23. PMs replied to. Prompted by these I will add the neck is quite chunky, not like a skinny 70s J neck, and so is very comfortable for a Precision player like me. Also the frets are in good condition and the truss rod turns fine. The only thing I would add though is that the truss rod is tightened to the max to get the action low on the strings I was using (Pyramid flats 45-105) so you might need to shim the truss rod screw with a nut if you wanted to use heavy gauge strings, like Jamerson flats or Steve Harris flats.
  24. Heavyweight Gotoh-alike bridge that was on my 71 P/J when I bought it (now replaced with 70s Fender bridge ). Functions perfectly well and unmolested, bar one of the five base screws is a bit stripped (can still be turned with cross head screwdriver though). How about a tenner plus say two quid to cover post costs? Paypal easiest
