New lease of life for under a tenner !!! I like the way you think Burrito :-)

Half man half biscuit springs to mind but because after repeated listening in the works van the young fellas wanted mix tapes,mix CDs really it was 2007. Yet to meet anyone else but with the Serious Drinking ep "Country Girl became drug & sex Punk "

Well in my case I dismiss stupid ones.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1487192144' post='3238003'] For The Win. [/quote] You lost me there I'm afraid. edit Just googled that. Lucky for me that's not the common meaning with folks I know,would get strange looks having " For the win " tattooed across the back of my hand.

What do you think "FTW" means ? It's been on some bikers leathers since the 60s

I should probably regret selling my Wal JG custom with the leather scratchplate but it was much more bass than I needed. Also it's been gone 27 year. The bass I do regret was my Thompson P-bass,the Thompson here were Glasgow piano & organ sellers. Easy 12lb and a real baseball bat neck,after learning on that I could play anything. First real bass as the 3 string semi-hollow with nailed on pickup and Kay Tulip bass don't count. Sold to ???? Music Exchange in London after a trip there ended in poverty.

La Bellas "F**k the World" ?? Great strings but bit extreme don't you think.

Changing from TI's to the La B's I got a bit of a shock with the tension but no doubt great sounding strings.

Not unless they break.

Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction would be first. Anti-Nowhere League,Screeching Weasel or The Queers close seconds.

Very interesting read.

Cuzzie The Sandberg will be no slouch. Plus if you still have it in 20 year time it'll look good as new

It's a bloody stupid fad IMO. Imagine trying to sell that strat shown above in the sales section !! Instant mojo ?? instant ar$3hole more like

I've saw some blues,reds and yellows used for thumb rests on eBay. Mostly from Chinese sellers but I've dealt with a few and no problems. About halfway down they start to appear. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R4.TR4.TRC0.A0.H0.Xthumb+res.TRS0&_nkw=bass+guitar+thumb+rest&_sacat=0 or in Tyneside CH Guitars sell them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Thumb-Rest-For-Bass-Guitar-R3-/131792666528?var=&hash=item1eaf747fa0:m:mT4dkepXnLStUw8-sJ8Tr_g

That's a cracker. I owned the Harley Benton semi hollow,discontinued white version, and it was a decent bass. All maple too,very nice with flats or rounds. I much prefer the layout on the G4M San Francisco,controls are in a sensible place. £40 cheaper,gigbag included Would be sorely tempted by it if I was looking for another semi hollow. edit Just saw that's the Sale price, don't take too long deciding Yay or Nay.

Not the Harley Benton PJ, it's 42mm

Peavey did quite a few PJ basses but most are long discontinued. The Milestone IV is a decent bass,set one up for a workmate last summer and think he got a good deal ( 2nd hand £80). There's 2 Zodiac models are PJ. The BXP and Zodiac DE Scorpio, Scorpio comes with Duncan Basslines. Sorry Mark76 didn't think to mention them with them no longer available.

Had the Harley Benton one. It was a nice bass,scratchplate didn't bother me. I'm playing bass not entering a fashion parade The HTR PJ play nicely,was good with both flats and RWs and lightweight. If you buy from Thomann but it's not for you then just send it back. Bit of a win/win situation.

Could get the Warwick prototype link to work so used the search and saw this ??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-WARWICK-BRASS-JUST-A-NUT-III-4-STRING-BASS-THUMB-CORVETTE-STREAMER-ALIEN-/361384649514?hash=item542434232a:g:7vIAAOSwu4BV6ia- £140 !! It's £44 from Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_just_a_nut_iii_brass_4str_385.htm Still the seller's in America so he's got the right market

What about a thin slice of Corian ? Synthetic marble type stuff. I fitted counters and worktops made from it. Plenty colours available too. http://www.cdukltd.co.uk/colours.php?p=colours&s=corian

Only ever bought stuff from there online, the prices are good,products up to scratch and it's always prompt delivery. Certainly gets my recommendation.

3rd or 4th time in recent weeks I've saw Doug's name come up I'd take that as an omen and phone him !!
