    Right now I couldn't care less for presents...so I'd like it to snow. Or at the very least be frosty. P

    I'm hoping that with my mortgage paid by April (hopefully), with the spare swag I'd like to pick up a Lakland DJ5, a Geddy Lee signature, Bongo 5HH. I'd like to cobble together a Spector/Thunderbird from parts. While I doubt I'd throw (much) money at my amp setup - I can see myself buying something small for home use and keep my main amp in my garage so I can load/unload easier. Totally unmusical, I see us having a couple of holidays next year too. P

    [quote name='Jebo1' post='99785' date='Dec 5 2007, 07:04 PM']Hi everyone I'm having a few issues financially, so I've had to sell up tons of stuff I've got around the house, And I've got a big house. Pics are here, let me know if you're interested. Prices are negotiable and all of it is here in my lovely house in Bristol! PMs if you want it. Also, apologies to a couple of people who I've not been clear with, and I'm sorry! 1974 Fender Precision Pickups - these are the complete pickups and pots from a 1974 Fender Precision. Pots are dates, pickups too, and the solder has never ever been touched. You know you want them! £200 2006 Fender Jazz Bass body in Candy Apple Red. Beautiful, with the pots. Great 62 Reissue. £200 1963 Danelector Dolphin Bass. Great item, all original apart from the changed tuners. the scratchplate is missing. It's a 60's garage rock classic and it's a steal for £400 1983 Fender Precision Elite Bass body, sunburst, beautiful, and ready for your project! Great price £200 Early Geddy Lee Jazz Bass. Great,, great guitar. With hard case! One of the first, so it's heavy but it's perfect. I've got another so this is spare... £400 PMs and other stuff dudes.

    [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='96388' date='Nov 29 2007, 10:17 PM']And Crowthorne being so close too... I'm in no real rush to sell, so you never know. It could still work out [/quote] Well let's see what happens...I want to add several basses to my armory once we get this mortgage paid off. I'm psyched that it's happening soon and I'm gonna have a serious amount of swag to consider throwing at basses. A pair of Lakky DJ5's, a Musicman Sub5 (I like that the Stingray4 look has been used on the Sub5), ummm a Geddy Lee (might even consider going the custom shop route and getting a red one), a white Gibson Thunderbird [i]and[/i] a Bongo 5HH are on my list. I'm being serious here. I'd also like to get something built, maybe in a Jazz style, that I can bastardise and trash about a bit...have the opportunity to try out some different guts in it...you know like a pair of Stingray or Rickenbacker pickups. Anyhow it's my birthday today, so I'm cutting loose and gonna watch Chelsea on Sky and enjoy my day. Maybe we'll speak later! P

    Damn, if this was only in a few months time when the mortgage is paid off for good. I want a pair - a black sparkle and a white one. Did I say damn? Have a bump. P

    Used to borrow a Jedson Telecaster bass - much like the one on sale in this very site. 1st proper one was a white Arbiter SG bass - £35.00. P
  10. NancyJohnson
    Jeepers! A Jedson Tele was my first bass...then an Arbiter SG...then a Columbus Jazz. Then it got all serious with a Travis Bean. Fond memories. P
  11. NancyJohnson
    Amy also uses a Waterstone Tom Petersson 12-string bass...I've one of those babies. Monster tone. P

    Have a looksie at this link: [url="http://www.gibson.com/robotguitar/index.html"]Gibson Les Paul 'Robot' Guitar[/url]. Scroll to the video page and down to the instructions button. Christ! Soon to be appearing on a bass or are guitarists just too anal? P

    [quote name='The Burpster' post='86196' date='Nov 9 2007, 07:55 PM']P, Jeeeeaaaysus, is that for real? does it have pics? Some breat suggestions bud, "Walk this way" is on the short list, as is "beyond the bass clef" [/quote] A couple of years back I bought a few books at Gatwick just before flying out to Skiathos for a week - the JJ book was one of them. It was so quiet I was literally bored shitless. I read a book a day and the JJ one twice. Yes, there's pictures. That said, The Dirt is the best music bio I've ever read. P

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='85782' date='Nov 9 2007, 08:46 AM']Ta for the link! Hmm... I find it a bit hard to believe that any member of Rush's crew would be allowed to post willy-nilly on a forum. I'd like to be proved wrong, though..[/quote] That was my thought exactly. I was a little surprised that this guy didn't know some of the most basic details of the signature model (ie the neckplate) and even with a nod from his employer would actually have the audacity to post saying 'Hi. I'm Geddy Lee's tech and I'm searching for a '72.'. <sound of cash registers chinging!> I mean, let's face it, Mr Lee probably isn't short of a few bob, so why would he instruct anyone on his staff to go searching so publicly on a forum like that? Surely if there was any urgency, he'd have his channels for obtaining an instrument - I'm also sure that Fender would have a few stock models from that period kicking around for a high-profile endorsee. Plus, there's always Gmall or Elderly, eBay etc. P

    [quote name='El_JimBob' post='85626' date='Nov 8 2007, 07:34 PM']That's funny - I see a lake of blood with the fire of death approaching from the left - do i have to go to therapy??[/quote] Yes...yes, I think you do.

    Over on Talkbass there's a Geddy Lee for sale (LINK: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=376764"]Talkbass[/url] It looks like a poster called Russ Ryan (purportedly Geddy Lee's tech) chipped in on the thread about his involvement with the signature Jazz and how 'Geddy asked me to source him another '72'. I would point out I haven't a clue whether this guy Russ is the genuine article or not (take it on face value...he's only been a Talkbass member for four days), but it would be interesting if he was as he's largely ignorant about the 'limited edition' neck plate etc. and he comes across as dumb as a box of hair.

    Now listen up, I know a lot of shots here are all basses reclining on feather quilts and things that look like furniture on expensive stands, but this shot was taken of me (well more specifically my bass...a 1979 Precision, black/rosewood board) at a gig a couple of weeks back. 'The camera didn't feel like it had fired', my mate said on his e-mail, 'but I realised I had [it] set to the B(ulb) setting, so it was a long exposure.' Personally, I love it. It's a weird picture, and so anti anything that's posted here, but it's great porn. I can't stop looking at it. P

    OK reading into this, the M-Audio PCI card looks ideal...remember this is just for very basic recording. I can achieve an awful lot in Audition, which I know backwards. P
  20. NancyJohnson
    In answer to one question here, I just want to keep it as basic and as simple as possible...I neither have the money nor inclination to throw loads of money at this (my guitarist co-owns a studio so go figure), I just want to be able to put ideas down on the PC, play around with them in Audition and then cut a CD of any end product mixdown. P

    Nice article in todays Daily Telegraph about buying from the US. One interesting piece in the article made an instant connection with me about buying stuff from US sellers (a la Talkbass) who will only ship to 'the lower 48 states', or, more to the point, sellers who offer free-shipping to the lower 48. You can now register a US mailto address through [url="http://www.myus.com"]'My US'[/url], who are based in Bradenton, which is south of Tampa on the gulf coast of Florida. [i]My US[/i] will then forward the package to anywhere worldwide. Prices? A 20kg box costs $177.50 to forward the the UK...30kg is $212.50, so roughly £80-£100. Obviously you're gonna be responsible to pay duties. Hope this helps! P

    I want to set up a very basic (cheap - heh) recording set up on a PC running XP Home...I want to throw as little money at this as possible...this is just for track building and ideas. Additionally, if I have to buy any external hardware, I need to be able to break it down easily. I've got, and am adept at, Adobe Audition 2.0 (I have a friend who works for Adobe...); I generally use this for editing of existing tracks recorded elsewhere, so I'd like to keep using this. Gearwise, I have an Alessis SR16 drum machine - which for the purpose of this, I will fire fills and stop it via a footswitches...I don't want to program it - and a Line 6 bass POD, Line 6 guitar POD which I will DI and guitars. All I want to do is plug something into my PC (preferably via the USB), and play along with the drum machine, then add bass and vocals later. Can someone let me know what I need to do (or buy) and what I need to set the PC to do. Keep it simple! Cheers P

    Some years back I spoke with a guy called Mark Plunkett (no pun) who was the bass player for Little Angels (remember them?) - who had just had a #1 album 'Jam' - about the Fender Precision. I asked why it was that he was using a Fender Precision over the Spectors and other furniture that he had in backup. He simply answered that they don't go wrong and a million buyers couldn't all be wrong. That stayed with me. A short time later I got my '79 in a trade deal and I've used it ever since. Aside from the original pickup failing a couple of years back and then one of the pots going, I've never done anything to it - it's a very reliable machine. Doesn't need adjusting or tweaking, it looks better the older it gets and it sounds just beautiful - I gigged with it Friday and two guys in the crowd remarked after how [i]clanky[/i] it sounded. I play it every day and have jammed/gigged with it maybe 500 times since I got it. With this in mind the only thing it lacks is a low-B...hopefully a Lakland DJ5 will be mine in the new year and my Precision can go off and have a well-earned semi-retirement. P
