That's very nice indeed and I'm not a relic fan

I enjoyed dealing with Andy and would do so again.

thanks - SOLD to a man from Shieffield who said it was a keeper.

I know a singer soungwriter who regularly comes up with original material as well as interpreting existing songs. I've never tried, or thought I'd be able to do it.

I was surprised as anything when an almost fully formed set of lyrics and hooks popped into my head whilst I was washing up. Damned if I can remember more than the skeleton of it though.

I think I used to own this - its a good one. Battery box is on the rear face and very easy to operate

"Long time listing blues" bump. Nice looking bass for the money folks - snap his hand off

Sorry to be picky, but surely this is better described as a squier rather than a fender ?

Nice though

Yes you're right - ed does say that. I'll look up the clown page and give you a reference - I only read it a couple of nights ago

@pobrien_ie

Possibly the recorded version [b]is[/b] Babbitt, doesnt mean that the book is wrong about Jamerson doing lots of takes. Smokey and Norman, Whitfield were such control freaks that hey may have put a Babbitt track on after jamerson did those takes because they didnt like what he did.. He did have a free hand but he did also have a serious temper and the drink didnt help it.

Babbitt said he went to question the residuals he was getting and found contracts for tracks that he knew he had played on, but made out to other people, so I dont think even the players themselves know for certain. The residuals wer paid on the basis of these contracts, many of which were written out after the fact. They were known as "mock contracts"

Not quite - read "standing in the shadows of Motown" Babbitt himself said that people's work was often replaced after they thought they were finished and had left. Read what he say bout mock contracts and getting paid

Babbitt tells a story of listening to a jukebox and arguing with Jamerson about who was playing the bassline

Apparently he had to do about 60 takes of years of a clown, in order to satisfy the producers

bump for special offer price

I have the hydrive 210 combo and its excellent in every way. Only thing i would add is a headphone socket.

The strings are cheap and cheerful and they work well enough

Ugh - he's joined the dark side. Acoustic is ok for rattling along with people, but its not <i>a bass </i>is it

I got hum cancelling pickups for mine and its much improved

Didn't know about the cap, thanks
Never sold anything high value there

thanks -was just wondering if its different for higher ticket items

Does anyone know what the eBay final value fees on instruments are ? Sale likely to be around £700, I know cars are subject to a different final value fee

Thanks

Bump - this is too lovely a thing not to be being played

Sounds as good as it looks. You're fairly local mr highway one, if you fancy if ?
