I really like the grain on that wood. Good result! Jez

Ho bloomin ho I dunno, try and do someone a favour........... Jez

For me, I can compromise on the type of music I will play (Shangalang anyone?) but I cannot play with people I don`t like/have some sort of bond with. I am jammin with 3 guys just now and the guitarist is a great player and all round good guy but the other 2, I`m not sure about. I would rather play cheesy covers than sit around the house bemoaning the fact I ain`t playing. But that just me, a gig tart. Jez

[quote name='rk7' timestamp='1333454369' post='1601845'] Plug it in. If it bangs - not good. If it doesn't - good. thank you please RK [/quote] From now on this will be know as the bass players mantra!! Jez

At one time to share the pa gear about, the drummer had the 3 mike stands to transport. First gig with this arrangement he forgets to bring the mike stands. Have you ever tried gaffer taping a microphone to a brush handle and a cymbol stand. I have! That was the last time he was trusted with any pa gear. Jez

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1333357508' post='1600346'] I think it would look better with some stickers on it, to make it unique and sound louder. It's a pity the 1st April has passed off - surely someone has a cheap(er) pink Jazz, and we could have had some royal fun with Talkbass [/quote] Now that would have been childish and imature. So count me right in Jez

Cardboard box suitable for shipping a bass in. Long shot I know but if anyone wants to collect it from me in Paisley give me a shout. Will keep until it does the wife`s head in!! Jez

The link is for an e bay sale D Where`s the link man???? I was wondering why the Epi Tbird pro`s seem to be dissapearing from shops. Jez Beat me to it!

I`m sorry, they most likely love the sound of the basses they use but nothing looks more wrong than an upside bass guitar. Jez

Here`s a recent thread to give you some ideas. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/169384-what-strings-do-you-use/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/169384-what-strings-do-you-use/[/url] Jez

Or Out to play Jazz. The man spoke wisdom. No not Norman before anyone says! Jez

Bargin!! Well done. Jez

Don`t forget if you buy from the net you have 7 days to return it due to the distance selling regs. I think with Thomann it`s 30 days. Jez

There are quite a few well know members that have dissapeared within the last year. Mabye it`s aliens? Or mabye they got fed up reading/chating about basses and decide to play the things instead. What a novel concept-must try it sometime. Jez

For £350???? They usually go for around the 400 to 430 mark on here. That bloody awful scratchplate would cost about 50 to buy on it`s own I have heard nothing but good things about these and I played one a while back in a shop and was impressed. But I would say that with a 700 budget you could get a used US 2008+ model for around the same money. Jez

Status half rounds on all my basses. Not as zingy as rounds, not as dull as flats and nice and smooth to the touch Sounds like an ad for fairy liquid. Jez

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It`s returned to haunt us once again!! It`s a genuine as a £14 note. Jez

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1332790726' post='1593220'] Oops. [attachment=103444:Cardinal Headstock.jpg] [/quote] The things you see when you ain`t got a gun!! Jez

Re winding the string the wrong way. It`s almost as annoying as people who leave the un-trimmed ends of the string hanging out, mostly on guitars but I have seen it on a few basses. Or people who don`t put the end of the string down into the hole on the tuner peg Jez

[quote name='nick' timestamp='1332755857' post='1592455'] I'd personally recommend going for a CIJ/MIJ P-Bass, or if you come across one, an old (MIJ) Tokai Hardpuncher. [/quote] And Lozz has a Tokai for sale right now!! Just in case Lozz didn`t want to plug his own for sale thread. I would rather buy off of someone on here than take a chance on buying something blind off the internet. I wouldn`t write off all Mexican Fenders either. Some people on here have had some cracking MIM`s. The Mexican Mike Dirnt and Classic 50`s P bass are in your price range second hand and they are superb basses for the money. Jez

Wasn`t a Ibby Blazer his main back up bass? Sure I read something about it a couple of years ago. I suppose with a touring "name band" there could be a number of back ups. Would be nice to own something Phil played though. Jez

Don`t know if this has been posted already. 66 P bass body restored. The seller admits there are no date stamps on the body so we have no way of telling if it`s a genuine 66 body. The seller states that the body alone is worth 600 quid. Until you look at his recent buying feedback where you find a 66 body bought for £65 plus shipping and taxes so around £120? Fair enough he has done quite a lot of work to it. If I were anal enough I would work out how much it cost to put together as it`s all in his buying feedback. I`m not trying to say the guy is dishonet or anything, it just seems like a lot of cash for something that is made from parts.

I had a look on TB and in the US there ain`t a lot of love for Ashdown as they don`t seem to have a large presence over there but they do seem to love their Ampegs. Are they still made in the US or is most of the gear now made in China? Jez

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1332678071' post='1591452'] Also see what they think about putting a Fender decal on your custom build. [/quote] Discreet you will go to the bad fire. Jez
