Thanks DarkHeart. What was the finish on it and where did you find it, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi all, I'm looking for a p bass neck for a project. Allparts and Warmoth are out of my budget, so I'm weighing up the merits of Mighty Mite and Mexican Fender. Where does opinion stand on these? Are there any others worth considering? I prefer maple fretboards and satin-type finishes and I'm not keen on vintage tints. Cheers, Tobie

Cheers ikay

I'm thinking of putting one of these into a pbass project and would be interested to hear from anyone who's done the same. Does the battery fit easily? How have you wired it up and with what components? Is it worth getting a loom made?

The Flecktones, Keb Mo - Victor Wooten is a true great!

Love it! Slick. Cheers for the clips.

Hi Owen, My church is NTCG Brooks Bar (20 Upper Chorlton Road). There are also COGOP congregations in Manchester: Moss Side (300 Moss Lane East) and Firswood (Restoration House, Great Stone Road) are a couple. Cheers, Tobie

Always loved them - great band. I think I might just have to put Replenish on when I get home. I saw them as a teenager in the Oxford St HMV and lined up afterwards to get albums signed. I remember the satisfaction and inspiration of realising how normal and gracious they were, especially in the face of a star-struck, overly-keen teenager.

Have you still got the Tokai, Rik?

Great stuff - thanks Tim!

Hi Owen, The only specific congregations that I know outside of Manchester are New Testament Church of God (NTCG) churches. NTCG Handsworth (240-244 Lozells Road) is a large church, NTCG Harvest Temple, Wolverhampton (173 Wednesfield Road) and Dudley (Holly Hall Road) are smaller. NTCG Willesden (179 High Road) and NTCG St Judes, Elephant and Castle (Bickels Yard, 151-153 Bermondsey Street) are two in London, but there are many more. There's a list here: [url="http://www.2chaseprojects.co.uk/2C176/about-us/find-a-church/"]http://www.2chaseprojects.co.uk/2C176/about-us/find-a-church/[/url] Hope they're useful, Tobie

Hi Owen, Where are you based? Tobie

Nice!

Hi James, As Bubinga5 rightly says, it is a different story here in the UK. There is a 'scene', but simply not the market to support many recording artists. Also, unlike in the US, here there is less of a culture of gospel musicians playing secular music professionally, so the 'exposure' for church-based players is limited. There are exceptions, but this is the trend. Nevertheless, there is a wealth of talent here. There are thriving Pentecostal churches in most cities and even some small towns, where congregations worship through both traditional and contemporary gospel styles and musicianship is consistently outstanding. New Testament Church of God and Church of God of Prophecy are two such churches with congregations throughout England. I hope that helps a bit! Tobie

Hi James, I primarily play gospel. You've already had some great suggestions, but a few others to check out would be: Contemporary Artists: Marvin Sapp, Kurt Carr and The McClurkin Project (all busy and American) Bassists: Justin Raines, Maurice Fitzgerald and Fred Hammond (also a writer, singer and producer) Trad. Artists: Andrae Crouch, Walter and Edwin Hawkins and Rev. James Cleveland (all American) There are of course many more, but you should find useful info and links from these names as you peruse YouTube, Wikipedia and the like. There is also a British 'scene' which is heavily influenced by American styles. Enjoy the search! Tobie

This looks brilliant! I think you've done a fantastic job. Personally, I'd keep the gold - it does set it off with the brass saddles... Tobie

Came across this on YouTube and really enjoyed it - inspiring stuff. Well worthy of a bump, I reckon! Tobie

Just a great, great player.
