Thumbs up there :good:

and .... ?

That was also my thoughts when reading this thread

tell them you'll see them in[b] your local[/b] small claims court. Hampshire is quite a step from their northern (burnley?) base and they'll have to pay a local solicitor to attend. It will be very expensive for them, win or lose.

Precision bass into whatever amp there is it's that simple

Why not try ed friedkands jazz book?

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1389139212' post='2330667'] Satellites were nothing to do with Teisco, Matsumoku didn't build Columbus Js, end of. There's a lot of out-of-date erroneous information floating around on the web, most of it (including the Japanese manufacturer list I'm sure Fleabag's referring to) has been picked apart & discredited on the various specialist JapCrap boards where there are people who have been living & breathing this stuff since 1972. Because most of the factories & importers are long-gone, the few that aren't kept no records, and these were irrelevant budget instruments at the time, the study of JapCrap is an odd cross between archaeology & detective work. Some manufacturers (Matsumoku, for example) have easily-identified features, while others are much more generic. Often the only way to define the origin of an instrument is to compare a no-brand or off-brand with an example of one with a known provenance. Eg - there are no confirmed Matsumoku Jazz copies which are the same as Columbus J clones, therefore Matsumoku didn't make Columbus Js. On the other hand, a particular Maya J copy looks to be identical in every way, apart from the logo, so it's quite likely that Rokkomann (brand owner/possible manufacturer of Maya) were responsible for these Columbus instruments. I'll stop now because one of the rules of BC is that one should not post material which is "tortuous" and I think I possibly am. But you get the gist. Hopefully. J. [/quote] I found it very informative - please set your tortuousness filter up by one notch so you dont bail out so soon next time.

Keep the sandberg You'll grow into it

i still watch his performances in the Blues Brothers movies (particularly Funky Nassau) and hope one day to be halfways as capable. And to be able to "[i]turn goats p1ss into gasoline[/i]" of course.

Ditto Did you read the amazon review ? Some muppet complains that there is insufficient biography and too much transcription

No, like an app that lets you choose beats and tests you, gives feedback etc

i'll try it, thanks

Can anyone suggest a good one? Thanks

[quote name='IainS' timestamp='1480020790' post='3181149'] Listening to Woodface right now. It's so good. What did he play? Was it a Spector? [/quote] Ive mostly seen him with a Fender - sometimes they play Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire. He is totally underrated. Very tasteful.
