Would you let them tell you where to live, who to marry or what car to drive ? Tell them to get stuffed

I keep trying them but find them a bit thin sounding, I always go back to precision basses for the full-on sound I hear in my head

[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1478861532' post='3172166'] Good point regarding the silver lining! Hadn't thought of it that way. [/quote] yep -think how ticked off you would be if you had invested time and money and [b][i]then [/i][/b]found out that they were inconsiderate merchant bankers

[quote name='Surrpaul' timestamp='1478730630' post='3171326'] Some absolute gold here, thanks all for contributing. [/quote] thinking about it, I did add a little something that you could use (maybe) . Its basic root and fifth,two to the bar, as you know, but every fourth bar I changed the riff to eighth/quarter notes and played I-V-[color=#0000ff]II[/color]-[color=#00ffff]II-II[/color]-I - the two light blue notes are half the length of the dark blue one, to sound a bit like a train passing through points. Where I is E, V is B, II is F# etc ([i]such is my truly overwhelming talent level[/i]) Marshall Grant adds some eighth note lead ups just before a chord change, I dont think it needs more.

Thank you

Does anyone know if it's a standard fender sized neck pocket ? Toying with replacing the neck on one with a blocked rosewood

[/quote] Add some dead notes perhaps to mimic the percussive sound of a double bass ? That'll keep it interesting for you

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1478714784' post='3171169'] There is country and country and Johnny Cash isn't it, tbh. He only got away with it because it was his definitive style... [/quote] No, he was Western .

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1478689472' post='3170906'] When playing Fulsom Prison and the harmony moves from C to F - play C, D, E, F. Knocks them dead every time. [/quote] I played this for the second time ever, doing it even more basic than that and it totally got people clapping along. I don't think you need to embellish -simple has its virtues

Or get one 3D printed -which would be light

There's another signature than 4/4? Wow

i did see him playing a natural / maple / tort precision a while back

Agree Was very nervous of buyers listing 63 precisions (mint) who are in single digit post counts

Biblical is the word I would use

My eyes, my eyes ! Ugh! Sorry but I really don't like that

Well, you'd think "it's in a city, the buildings are old and poorly insulated, they leave the doors wide open - how can snow even settle?" But it does - it's like flipping Narnia there sometimes

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1478008098' post='3165929'] I'll reduce my post down to just the FO then [/quote] Yes absolutely

Tell him To get stuffed - if i buy something from here the first thing I do is look it over. If it looks okay and plays as well as one can expect for its age / stated condition then the sellers duty is at an end. Two months is way out of the ball park Caveat : unless police are later involved in any ownership issues

Suggest a forum search as they get talked about a lot

Take a warm coat - four feet of snow is not unusual this time of year

No not in the slightest - they live in gig bags but if the get dinged then so be it. Nice to have some genuine relic on them!

You're welcome
