Seems like a lotta love for punk on here. Just need the guitarist and singer now. Advert and jammin time comming up. Oh joy Jez

Cheers guys for all the suggestions. I remember most of them, just makes me realise I`m gettin old! Lozz, cheers for most of your secrets! Jez

As I mentioned in another topic: when BGM were describing a Dingwall super P, "based on Leo Fender`s classic 1960`s design." There is simply no excuse for printing garbage like this in a specialst magazine. To be fair to BGM writing a review must be quite difficult due to the fact that you don`t get many "bad" basses these days. Even a £200 bass is decent enough quality to gig with. Or even £100 if you buy a Westfield. I`m a bit of a magazine junkie but I don`t buy it on a regular basis. Guitar and Bass magazine is a much better buy, imo of course. Jez

I`ve been searching for a band for a few months now but every band plays the same old crap, mustang sally, stuck in the middle, blah blah. So, the drummer in my old band has suggested a punkish covers band as he is an old punk himself. He is going to get a set list together but as his taste is up his behind sometimes, if someone on here plays in a punk covers band and can give me an idea of some songs that go down well and are not too extreme if you get my drift, I would be most grateful. Please, save me from Sweet home alabamah!!! Jez

Looks really nice. Always fancied a Sandberg and for Mexican P bass price range looks like a winner. Jez

Look at this and drool! [attachment=102607:SAM_0430.JPG] You can even strech them out. See, even my daft dog loves it! [attachment=102608:SAM_0429.JPG] Jez

I use one of those bullet cables as well and it`s white with a red stripe. It has a 44 magnum bullet casing round the end of the conector which impresses guitarists no end. It`s quite a novelty as most older guys only remember the old crappy ones whereas these ones are the dogs dangalies. And so they should be at £40 a go. Jez

At the weekend I bought a time machine from Fleabay and used it to go back in time to right after the op posted this and have bought the item. So its defo sold. And seeing as I did this, this post now occupies a redundant timeline and will soon dissapear into the ether................. Its amazing the sh*te you can buy on the net these days! Jez

You believe something in BGM? I bought the mag after giving it a miss due to it being crap basically and on page 7, they have an article about a Dingwall super P where they state that the Dingwall was based on "Leo Fenders classic 1960`s design." I rest my case. Jez

Nothing worse than a knob that won`t fit, boom boom! Jez

By the looks of the 1st pic, someone has had the "traditional black and decker" oot. Jez

Best gig I ever played? The next one I play hopefully! Jez

I am very limited technically but I can play in time and hit the right notes (most of the time anyway ). I don`t really care if I can`t paly as well as someone else, I can get by. I enjoy myself, the guys I play with think I`m ok and at the end of the day that`s what matters. Oh and I can`t slap and frankly couldn`t care less. Jez

I bought a Mex Jazz bass from E bay a couple of years ago, played it for a while and then sold it onto Donnboy before he was a member of this fine forum. About a year later I put a Tbird pro up for sale and Donny got in touch and wanted to buy it. Rather than a cash deal he asked if I wanted the Jazz back and so we agreed the swap. He came down and we exchanged them, so I had my old Jazz back. 24 hours later Donny is back on the blower asking if he could get the Jazz back and he would give me the 250 I was looking for the Tbird originally. No problem as he loved it more than I did. So all in I owned the Jazz for 48 hours after getting it back. Is this a record or can you do better? Jez
