    [quote name='Big_Stu' post='906140' date='Jul 26 2010, 06:12 PM']Jan Akkerman left Focus a long time ago, I believe it's just Thijs van leer + A N Others these days. Jan Akkerman does an annual solo tour, he's played The Robin in Bilston (EXC venue! I go there a lot!) and The Ferry in Glasgow a few times.[/quote] Hey there Big Stu!! Akkerman left in 76 on the eve of a British tour as he couldn`t get along with Van Leer. He was replaced by a guy called Phillip Catrine (pretty sure that was his name) who was quite a decent player. The people who bought tickets for the tour were offered their money back when Akkerman left. I went and seen Akkerman at the Ferry about 2002 and a guitarist friend who was with me was so impressed by his playing that he was nearly suicidal that he would never be that good. Strange man.... :wacko: Focus are still kicking about and are still a good band . Jez

    Had this in the freebie section a while ago but had no takers. Mabye people don`t read that bit. It`s quite old but in its day was the biz! It has the remote control with it and works perfectly. I would rather someone on here had it rather than sticking it on gumtree, so if you want to come and collect it, drop me a pm and you can have it!! [attachment=55012:DSC01590.JPG] Jez

    The Jag bass is on the Soundslive website at £259. [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Squier-Vintage-Modified-Jaguar-Bass-Guitar~ID~13833.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~S...ar~ID~13833.asp[/url] Jez

    The above is all true! I picked up one of these s/hand last weekend and after a set of flats and a wee tweak, I am well impressed. The amount of sounds you can get from the pickups and 3 position switch is really good. Honestly, this bass punches well above it`s price. Jez

    Why???? Do most of us on this site ask ourselves why do we need another bass? No!! You need another one because that`s just the type of wild, crazy dudes we are!!! Go and get it bought and to hell with what the wife says. Are you a man or a mouse? (Cheese anyone?) Jez

    Just did a deal with lawrie and he`s a top bloke to deal with. He gave me the price I was looking for and the deal went as smooth as a baby buttock! Jez

    Gotta add that the staff are always nice people to deal with and up for a chat! And they always have a good selection and some intresting gear as well. Jez

    What numpty paid 385 quid for that! Goes to show, there`s always a sucker about. Like the bit about not knowing where the volume and tone knobs were. Lemmy`s got them in his back pocket I imagine. You can ask the next time you are having a chat with him. Jez

    I, like Clarky, have a love of T birds due to Lord Pete of the Way. I have owned 3- 2 Epi bolt on and 1 Epi pro. They are one of the coolest looking basses on the planet but you need a left arm 4 foot long to play an F on the E string or the body down at your knees and the neck around your left shoulder. This is the reason that me and Tbirds just don`t get along. Jez

    [attachment=53878:bump1.jpg] Remember folks, if you don`t have the full dosh, you can part exchange your G&L , Ibanez or Yamaha basses, anything really. Try me. Jez

    [quote name='dougie' post='887783' date='Jul 6 2010, 09:07 PM']Update on this guys,meeting up with Bassassin this weekend,had good offers from a few of you(and appreciate it)but Assassins minutes down the road saving posting etc...plus his Ibanez is the same colour as my bike lol (Yam R1)[/quote] Ah Bassassin you old desert fox! Using the old "the bass matches the colour of your motorbike" ruse. No wonder we beat Jerry in 45. Jez

    That will sound better than some of the crap basses I have owned. Jez

    [quote name='bartelby' post='890513' date='Jul 9 2010, 03:32 PM']Finally tracked down the image: [url="http://www.bassemporium.com/item.php?sku=0131810340"]http://www.bassemporium.com/item.php?sku=0131810340[/url][/quote] Well done Detective Inspector Bartelby. Go get some do`nuts. Jez
  18. jezzaboy
    Thanks for the offer but it ain`t what I`m looking for. To tell the truth, I had to google it as I have`nt heard of it. Jez
  19. jezzaboy
    Why are there some many great basses around the now that just arent shifting? EG this one! C`mon, get yer cash or cash plus trade out! Don`t be shy. Jez
  20. jezzaboy
    It sure ain`t no Fender Jazz Steven. But they have a sound all of their own and nothing (and I don`t care what anyone else says regarding ATK`s AND G&L`s) sounds the same as them. Great basses. Had one for a while but after having it slung over my shoulder for 3 hours, it was starting to give my shoulder jip due to the weight. But it sounded great and looked the biz! I think that you will enjoy it. Are you gonna see sense and stop buying Epiphones now? Jez

    [quote name='merello' post='887564' date='Jul 6 2010, 05:34 PM']Nut width? (The bass - not yours!)[/quote] Spookilly I just measured this and it`s 40mm. Nah talking mince, it`s 44mm. But it doesn`t feel like that as the neck is not very large in your hands. You would need to come round and see it. I have a Jap 57 reissue p bass neck and it feels like a club next to Bob. Jez

    C`mon noo. No love for Bob? Here is some new photo`s. [attachment=53691:DSC01576.JPG] [attachment=53692:DSC01579.JPG] [attachment=53693:DSC01584.JPG] [attachment=53694:DSC01585.JPG] Jez

    C`mon Paul, come round and see your uncle Jez and swap it for a real bass! Jez

    Just a wee extra. I read an interview with Rod a few years ago and he mentioned that the guy who co wrote Maggie May, Michael Quittenton, went slightly nutty and lost the plot..... Jez
