  1. That candy apple Jazz is mine I tell you!!! I`ll get me crowbar called Mable...... Jez
  2. Words of wisdom on bass. From me? Wrong guy!!! You are quite welcome to come down and have a blast on mine on saturday. It`s a Highway 1 but it`s near enough! We are playing in Elderslie. Jez
  3. Ah Steve, you are finally seein sense!! Some people say that they have only one sound but in a live setting, I find that they cut through like nothing else. As for value about, £300 sounds about right for one in good nick and no issues but bear in mind that you can get one of the new ones, which are supposed to be excellent, from Soundslive mail order for £389. Jez
  4. I`ve got a set of Status flats on mine and they sound like....well flats! Bit dull but nice and fat and at about £19 a set worth a go. I prefer the tone I get with the flats to the D`arrios I had on the jazz before. You get them direct from their website. Jez
  5. Do you mean a Hercules Grabbit? The one that grabs the bass when you put it into it? Jez
  6. Definatley a bass guitar problem, which I can resolve by giving you £50 for your Rickenbacker! That`s my biggest downfall, always thinking of other people. Jez
  7. Cheers for all the input guys. I have picked up a bass pod as part of a deal and am gonna use the chorus on this if I need it. Jez
  8. Souns like a scam. A couple of months ago I was selling a bass on gumtree and got an e mail from someone saying that they were in Canada working but wanted to buy the bass for someone in Scotland. They wanted me to send em a paypal bill of some kind. Told em to fluck off. I reported them to Gumtree and they agreed. Scamming ba**ards!! Jez

  10. [quote name='Musicman20' post='723277' date='Jan 24 2010, 04:49 PM']Brilliant Clarky...two vintage Fenders now Whats next on the list?[/quote] A week in the doghouse when the missus finds out that he`s punted the JJ! Really nice Clarky. I`m glad that you seem to have found your holy grail. I am still looking for mine! Jez
  11. Had another play of this yesterday as I thought I was being a bit hasty. Nah, still cant get on with it so if anyone wants to swap for cash, a Jazz or an Ibby of some kind, 4 string only, gives a shout. Local only or within driving distance. Cheers Jez
  12. That looks tasty! Like the colour of the body, a very good contrast to the board. Jez
  13. Jim Mine`s a bit of a heavy bugger as well but not as heavy as the poxy Jaguar I owned! It`s also quite a nice looking bit of wood for the price. Jez
  14. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='722123' date='Jan 23 2010, 01:03 PM']Here's 'that bass' [/quote] Nowt wrong with that lad, a bit of gaffer tape and it`ll be ok! The only one I have seen him play live is his signiture model. [attachment=40889:lemmy_431x300.jpg] Jez
  15. Aye, play it note for note. The basslines are a doddle but if the crowd get into it, your havin it large! Jez
  16. C`mon dish the dirt! What band are youz paying tribute to? Don`t be shy! Jez
  17. In his book White line fever, Lemmy said that his roadie damaged his favourite Rickinbacker bass and although it could be repaired, his roadie went mad, smashed the thing to pieces and was promptly sacked! I`m not sure which one but he said it was his favourite at the time. I don`t think it was his famoue Rickenb*stard. [attachment=40860:lemmyy.gif] Jez
  18. On a sort of similsr vein, who is the guy who plays bass with Robbie Williams? He plays a cracking looking black P bass. Anyone know anything about him? Jez
  19. No thanks mate. It`s a sale I`m looking for . Cheers Jez
  20. Rodney, you plonker!! Well I`m a plonker. Having owned a thunderbird in the past, I thought I could live with it and gave into GAS and bought a Pro in black. It`s a cracking bass and looks the biz but having gave it a good workout at a rehersal last night, it`s not for me. I just can`t get it to sit comftorably. As much as I want to keep it, I know that it will sit there doing nothing. The bass is as new, not a mark on it. I have fitted a strap button on the back and as anyone with one will tell you, it cures the neckdive. It has a set of Rotosound Jazz flatwounds fitted and I will throw in the oriiginal strings. I got the bass from Thomann and payed £300 for it and the strings cost £27 so I reckon that £240 is a fair price for an as new, only been out to one rehersal bass. It`s collection from Paisley or I could meet you somewhere not too far away. Photo is stock as camera is goosed. [attachment=40833:xl__ebtptbbh1_1_.jpg] Right, I`m away to sit in the corner! Jez
  21. Sorry to hear of this HJ. Just shows how fragile this thing called life can be. Jez
  22. Love it man! Have you still got the jeans and shirt combo as well? Jez
  23. Too late Munk.... Sold on gumtree within 10 mins! So you can keep yer swaps too yourself! Too bloody cheap!! I`m crap at selling things! Jez

    Aggghhh!! You mentioned the Ashdown word!! You`ll have all the Ashdown haters on this site (and there`s a few of em!) awakened from their hole in the ground. Good choice man, I`ve had one for about 4 years and they are a decent bit of kit. Agree with you on the octave thing. I`ve punted my Eden and am going back to using my Mag. Jez
  25. Our drummer cant keep time to save his life! Sometimes I wonder if it`s me that`s slowing or speeding up but the only virtue I have is good timekeeping. Sometimes he will play a song at the right tempo and the next time he drags it out. Or else he starts a song at one speed and speeds up as the song goes along! Does ma heid right in. If it wasn`t for the fact that he`s a nice guy......But being a nice guy can only work for so long. Jez
