    Really sad news. Never met him but I always remember the photo of him and a dep drummer at a gig where they were both wearing hats and OG was grinning like a madman. RIP. Jez

    I picked up a tidy Energy four string yesterday. Really like the sounds but daft question time: What do the controls do? I know the middle knob is the volume but what is the balance one and the tone/terble/bass one. Jez

    The 3 bass rule was invented by me to try and keep GAS at bay. Having said that , it will never last!! Re Aberdeen. Sorry AC my visa has expired for that part o` the country. Why dont you come doon to the populated end of the country and I`ll meet ya!! Jez [attachment=56625:DSC01630.JPG]

    And on the 7th day God rested and said to Steven, "isn`t it about time you got shot of that Stingray!" Re the Rick. I was over at Absolutpepper`s place yesterday doing a deal, as they say, and he showed his Rickenbacker. Beautiful guitar but a heavy bugger and the top of the body cuts into his arm so much he has to wear a wrist gaurd whilst playing it, as mentioned above. Also the sound ain`t for eveyone. And on the 8th day God said to Steven, "isn`t it about time you got shot of that Ricky!" :wacko: Jez

    Yamaha BB414 for sale. Familiar to most people but it has a P and J pickup, 3 way switch volume and tone control. Fitted with fresh Ernie Ball Super Slinkys. Overall in good condition but it has a few dings round the edge of the body and some scratches on the rear of the body but nothing serious or through to the bare wood. Really versatile bass with a good spread of sounds available. The only reason for getting rid of it is I got a Status tody and I am trying to stick to a 3 bass rule . Collection only or meet up close to Glasgow. Cheers.

    Jings, some of the dosh you guys get for NYE is fantastic! Want to become our agent? We usually get about £60 each doing pubs, so if I was offered £150 for a NYE gig, I`d take it. But then again, I don`t drink much and it`s better to be gigging than sitting in the house. I`d rather do a charity gig than sit in on a saturday night. Jez

    Well Merello, there`s one way to find oot. Go and see him at the Fringe and ask him. I was a bit doubtful myself at first but what the heck, I am now a believer!! Jez

    Mr Death, these would be better off in the other musical items for sale bit. Love the name by the way. Jez Flippin heck, that was quick!! Good pickups by the way. Had one of the P`s in a Squire before and it`s a good price. Jez

    Nice collection Pete. I really like the Jazz. You can`t beat a bass that has been modified to hell and back! Especially when you stick a Fender transfer on a Squier Jez

    Ah, so it`s a funk band your joining I stood in for a guy one time with a band who played the songs "exactly as they were recorded" and learned them as such, only to discover when I had a play with them that, guess what they didn`t! I got the "well we do this bit slightly different than the record". For nearly every song!!! I think taking a recorder along to a gig is a good shout. If you know what your doing, it will be a piece of cake! Good luck!! Jez

    I always take 2, one for playing the gig the other for a back up. I have never had too use a back up bass but I would hate for the main bass to go down whilst playing a gig. Back up bass is a P bass made from parts of Fenders and Squires I had lying around, that way if anything happens too it, no big deal. Jez

    I might have the answer for you. Check your Pm`s. Jez

    Anytime I have read about the guy or when I have seen him on interviews, he always comes across as a right decent guy. Really good of him to give you a shot of a piece of bass history. Jez

    [quote name='bassatnight' date='Aug 5 2010, 11:53 AM' post='915773'] I seriously think that these basses give not only the Mexican standards a run for thier money but also if set-up well the standard American versions, sadly their is a lot of Bass snobbery about the squier models even today people even go to the extent of losing the Squier decals, all very sad. You could not be more wrong about the snobbery angle. I put a Fender decal on mine so I could sell it at a grossly inflated price to an unsuspecting punter!! Nah, only did it as I like the look of the early 70`s decal. Not sad at all really :brow: Jez AKA the Forger

    Well Guy, thanks for clearing up the "I am not in Roxy anymore debate" but how do you feel about a Guy clone being your replacement? You do realise that by "coming out of the closet" to use a expression, that when you do the Edinburgh gig, you are going to be mobbed by all the guys on this site who attend the gig demanding autographs, photo`s, bass guitars etc....

    [quote name='Sibob' post='915177' date='Aug 4 2010, 05:23 PM']Ibanez.....BLEUUGGGHH that is all . How about the Ibanez ATK's? (think they're called something else now)....basically Ibanez' answer to MM's Si[/quote] Yep the ATK is a decent bass for the price but it has a P bass size neck and feels chunky compared to Ibby`s usual slender necks.

    [quote name='cocco' post='915313' date='Aug 4 2010, 07:58 PM']Don't worry guy. I got 3 copies of your book for Christmas last year. Having already bought it myself [/quote] Cocco, I bow down at your feet. You have taken crawling to a higher level (or lower level) than I could ever hope to reach Jez

    [quote name='douggie' post='914501' date='Aug 4 2010, 01:53 AM']hello everyone...Aren't you nice...Apart from all sharing that one book! I'm not playing for Roxy because I upset Bryan by smashing a Bass on the last night of his 2007 tour in New Zealand.. Cheers[/quote] Ah ha!! If this is Guy and the above statement is true, why are you on the Story of Roxy Music released in 2009, saying you are the bass player in Roxy? See us, we`re no daft!! This aint Talkbass ya know!! :wacko: :wacko: Just in case it is you, I bought your book and have not leant it to a soul. Yes I am a crawler Jez
