What do those knobs do ? Is the placing logical ? Nice woodwork though and ckearly very nice timber and work

Yes he is a bit skint I hear

If they bought out a sunburst precision with tort and a jazz maple neck and a really good heavy relic I might be tempted (at a decent price) Mike dirnt sells loads at a low price point

No it's probably just ego

[quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1433766565' post='2793726'] The chap on guitar spent most of the time with his back to everyone else farting around with a multitude of pedals. This approach appeared to work rather well. [/quote] Quite normal I hear Local OM is run by church so not quite the scam Blue describes luckily, and I am "the only bass player in this village" so I just have to get a slot I can stay late for They gave me 10:10 last time which is a non starter due to home commitments

Good call I might give it a try

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1433746374' post='2793469'] It always seems to be in the city WH Smiths when I don't want it, but never in the airport ones when I want one [/quote] Medium sized WHS have it and I even found it at Euro tunnel terminal

They're much of a muchness imho If you get on with what you have, stick with it

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1343533216' post='1751788'] So its like shimming a neck but you don't have to take the neck off? [/quote] Yes - a bolt bears on a metal plate in the neck heel to push it out

You need to consider revoicing parts too- if you keep shifting up the board you run out of bassy notes eventually

[quote name='Son of the Wear' timestamp='1330801015' post='1563259'] Thanks for the positive comments, Geoff. In case anyone was wondering, they were bass magazines......... [/quote] He keeps the goat fetish ones under lock and key... smooth and easy transaction for a bass trainer, good communication. Would happily deal again.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1433113793' post='2788034'] Can't help you regarding the authenticity of your bass but plain old white spirit is fantastic at removing sticker goo. Fine on plastic. [/quote] Wd40 might be kinder

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1433079145' post='2787584'] I think the reason that Adam Clayton's many and varied signature basses are so widely ridiculed is that none of them are what could actually be described as his signature model i.e. synonymous with the player in the way that say a black P with mirrored pickguard would be associated with Phil Lynott. His basses are signature models only in the sense that his signature is printed on them. It seems to be a case of whenever he happens to get a new bass then the manufacturer - whoever that may be - puts his name on the headstock to shift a few extra units at a premium regardless of whether he will ever actually be seen playing live or in the studio with it. Right, I'm of to scribble my name onto my Fender Jazz that I bought a few months ago despite having played Warwicks exclusively for the previous 10 years [/quote] To be fair I've seen him play the last two live

Why have just one ? They're not expensive A fender strap (the fabric/leather ones that come OE) for each regardless of make, I don't change height that I play at so it doesn't matter that the brands differ Like seashell I just can't be bothered to swap them about

Nice red tort there

Victorwooten has had a few also, as has flea I suspect part of it is ego, it must be quite flattering I do think it's a touch overpriced though !

Every one I've had, especially recent ones, has been well made.

Welcome I believe basschat member faithless is also a Lithuanian ?

Nice Heading for extreme battered with fake grain filler applied after

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1332522547' post='1589625'] Love the tone on The Jackson 5 "I want you back" - the whole riff feels sooo perfect.. "I refuse" - Hue & Cry Stanley Clarke - "We supply" Virtually everything by Ozric Tentacles What Mick Karn did everytime he picked up a bass [/quote] Telecaster bass in the first case, Wilton felder I really like the late rutger gunnarson's tone

Chain and seven nation army perchance ?
