  1. A wise man once said "The man who maketh no mistakes has not played a saturday night at the dog and duck" Don`t beat yourself too much, all gigging muso`s make mistakes. Punters don`t usually notice or if they do they are usually in a band themselves and they don`t count as you are the one up there putting it on the line and they are scratching their chin with half a bitter wishing they were up there making mistakes.
  2. I ordered a set of Schaller tuners from them on monday and they arrived yesterday. Great service and communication and I got them cheaper than I could from the UK even after having to pay the 10 euro postage as it was below 199.
  3. I have 4 at the mo but had 9 at one time which was mental as I wasn`t in a band at that point! They all have their uses. Thunderbird. Was going to sell but will be used as a live backup. VMJ. Converted to fretless and used at home. P bass. Well you`ve gotta have a P please Bob! And my latest purchase, a Sterling Ray 34 ca. I have recently joined an ac/dc tribute band and not having 2000+ to buy a 79 Ray ala Cliff williams, this one looks the biz and is top notch apart from the tuners which will be replaced by a set of Schallers this week. I would relly like to be the type of guy who owns 2 basses but it ain`t gonna happen.
  4. Kenny bought my Yam through Gumtree but it turns out he is on here as well Nice guy to do biz and have a chat with.
  5. And Tom1946 has a tasty one for sale right now........ [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178705-ibanez-sr300m-maple-board-new/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/178705-ibanez-sr300m-maple-board-new/[/url]
  6. Really nice basses. I had a red/maple neck one a while back and they are exc value for money. Well finished and very comfortable to play.
  7. A Pete Way story and true.... He went out to buy some cigs and ended up on a UFO American tour for months on end.
  8. In 1985 I went out to buy a push bike and came home with a Sinclair Spectrum.
  9. Paisley, just outside of Glasgow.
  10. This has more than likely been posted before. A 79 interview with the man. [url="http://www.ricksuchow.com/press-group-248.html"]http://www.ricksuchow.com/press-group-248.html[/url]
  11. That`s right Sheldon, no one on here ever buys anything!!! Tim!!
  12. [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1339319121' post='1686666'] Indeed.I don't recall seeing JJB on the Punk Brittania programmes either,but his name was brought up earlier. [/quote] JJB was in the first program when they were disscusing the roots of punk rock broadcast the friday before. He was only in it for a quick chat.
  13. Epiphone T bird for sale. Collection only due to size/shape. £95 It is a fantastic sounding bass, this thing sounds hot for a passive bass, strap button has been moved to eliminate the dreaded neck dive. Why so cheap I hear youi say. Just after getting it I decided I was fed up with the colour and gave it a red/orange paint job. Then a satin black paint job Halfords paint. Ye canna whack it!!! Something I won`t be doing again! The paint job ain`t too bad, no runs or anything like that. I have also changed the crap plastic tone/vol control knobs for black metal ones. There are a few chips on it but overall it`s in ok condition. It is what it is. And it`s cheap!! No postage or trades but would meet somewhere close by. I also have a really nice, brand new Roksak bag made for this bass but would be looking for £30 for it as it cost me £45.

  14. I don`t think that is a head repair, just the way the neck has been manufactured. It`s a right nice looking bass. I had an Energy and although it wasn`t as nice as whatever this is, I regreted selling it as soon as I got rid of it. The neck on it was superb.
  15. Loving the spyder but it needs a few more switches and knobs!

    Gone

    Anyone want this stuff? If so pm me your addresss and I`ll post it to you. Fender owners manual. The one that comes with a new bass. Gives all the info for settings etc. A few bits from Jim Dunlop Straplock. Don`t know where they came from but they might be handy for spare parts if you use this brand. 2 Ahem, Fender transfers. Pretty crap, if I remember right you peel them off the backing and rub it and it stays on the whatever. [attachment=110007:SAM_0502.JPG][attachment=110008:SAM_0503.JPG] These bits have now gone.
  17. [quote name='TJAS92' timestamp='1339193620' post='1685345'] The only thing modified to it is it has fender jazz bas USA pick ups in it cause the other ones failed [/quote] Depending on condition and with the new pickups around £210-£220. I`m keen to know why you though the other ones might fail? The DD are decent pickups.
  18. Off the market for the moment.
  19. How could they afford Ric`s? I assume that they were as expensive then as they are now? Did they nick em? Buy them with their record advance?
  20. I recently did a deal with Simon and it was a pleasure. The guy paid the amount I asked and up front. Cheers
  21. Bloomin right it`s a shocker!! At this price it should be long gone............But what the heck. Final price drop. If it doesn`t go at this price I`m gonna keep the thing £205 collected/meet up £215 posted to your door
  22. Andy is a top man, deal with confidence. This bass is the best sounding P bass I have heard bar none. Ta for the strings Andy.
  23. Thursday bump.
  24. I have Lee playing with Rick Wakeman from a few years ago on his Grumpy old man show. Fantastic playing on Starship Trooper. Top player!
