  1. Don`t take this the wrong way but if you liked the Geddy so much why not try one of those? Be sure you want a T bird as they sit totally different on your body to any other bass I have had. To me, the end of the neck seemed very far away. I have had 3, 2 epi`s and a pro and although they sounded fine, I found that I couldn`t get used to the shape. I`m not running the bass down, just not right for me. Jez
  2. No wonder some guys in guitar shops get a bad name. May I recomend Status flats. Great strings and very good value as well. Just go to the online shop bit and the strings are in there.

  3. It seems to fit the Jazz belonging to the guy in your pic Geofio, it will fit no prob! I believe his is a 72? Although his may have the 60`s spacing? I have fitted a BA to a Classic 60`s Jazz, it cost me about 70 quid and after puting it through the amp cranked up, it made no differance to my ears. But we have had this argument many times before on here: Baddass v BBOT. Jez
  4. Gotta agree, top bass player and a top band. Try and hear "gudbye t`Jane" and "one eyed jacks with moustaches" from Alive. Very unusual for a mega popular band to be so kick a*s. Jez
  5. That`s shocking that is, no straplocks on Sid`s bass! Does anyone know where this bass ended up? Jez
  6. [quote name='casapete' timestamp='1322212501' post='1447894'] And probably a 1 in 5 chance of getting a good Precision around that time too......... (runs for cover) [/quote] This can`t be right as EVERY 70`s P bass that pops up for sale sounds fantastic and is quite light as well Jez
  7. If you ain`t enjoying it, don`t do it. I was that man and walked recently. If you can get the most suited guys from the 2 bands and form it into 1 decent band that you can live with, fandabidozy!! Either that or you and I form a 2 man bass playing super group! Jez
  8. I recently left the band I started 4 years ago as the singer was behaving like an ar*e and constantlly moaning about everything. So I buggered in the direction of off. Then the guitarist had the cheek to send me a text saying how they were dissapointed that I had left along with the pa cables and mikes that I had paid for myself. That was after I told them that they could keep the mixer and the speakers that I had a third share in. Some people. I think that most bands need a social worker attached to them. Jez
  9. They do take a bit longer on delivery sometimes but they are great strings and seriously good value for money. Jez
  10. Gig wise I have played about 20 gigs, bought one bass as I have been skint most of the year and last week left the band I started in 2008 as the singer was acting like a complete tosser, always moaning about something or other. Still, I`m enjoying my saturdays off and am currently looking for a gig. Gotta be positive!! Jez
  11. I`m not really a Stingray lover but that is really nice and at a decent price as well. Jez
  12. Gonna get shot of it another way.
  13. I got a Jazz neck from CH and was impressed with it for the money I paid, around 60 if I remember. I have it fitted to my VMJ and apart from a slight gap of around 1 mm at the neck pocket, it`s fine. And the gap is no worse than on some 70`s Fenders I have seen The frets are nicley done, no sharp edges and it comes with the nut fitted and cut. I will try one of their bodies in the future as the one`s from Allparts are shockinly expensive. Jez

  15. [quote name='Shawman' timestamp='1317056652' post='1386137'] wish i could justify having 2! [/quote] You can! I`ll even meet you in Perth!!!! Jez
  16. Jesso, I`d rather note post for the reasons in the 1st post but if I do decide to post, I`ll give you a shout. Jez
  17. [quote name='Jesso' timestamp='1317038607' post='1385712'] Any idea about the weight? They usually weigh a bit, which has always stopped me from owning one. Shame cos that's a beaut. [/quote] I don`t own a set of scales Jesso but it`s not a heavy bass. It`s nowhere near as heavy as my VMJ with the maple body. A few guys local to me on here have had a play of it and they didn`t mention the weight. Looking at previous sales, Tom1946 sold a couple recently and they were around the 9lb mark so that shouldn`t be too far away. Jez

  19. I wouldn`t bother with how they compare against a "real" Overwater. It`s a fantastic looking bass and you seem well happy with it, so, result!!!! Jez
  20. Is SUNN not one of those Jap o crapo , or mabye not so crapo, 70`s brand. I think someone has a Sunn Mustang bass on here The parts cbs take over sounds a bit far fetched to me. Jez
  21. I have 4 at the mo and I play them all. I tend to rotate the ones I play in the house or at rehersals but gig with either the Jazz or the g & l. My problem is I love the neck on the Jazz but love the pickups/sound from the g & l. I really wish I could be the guy who plays one bass all the time and is happy to do so. Jez
  22. [quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1316073781' post='1374052'] If it's based in Paisley, don't ask too many questions! [/quote] Donny the next time your in Paisley, me and the lads are gonna break all 6 fingers on your right hand. Let`s see ya play then!! Jez
  23. What are you basing the "ranking" on M? Is it for the number of posts, amount of friends on here, talent or lack of, biggest wind up merchant, most notorious....? Jez
  24. Good work guys. Like the new format. Jez
  25. There was a guy on Gumtree up here selling a "vintage" Tanglewood P bass copy from 1983 for 150 pounds. So 1983 is now vintage?? Jez
