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

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 -

Thanks

After reading this, I know my pricing isnt out of the ballpark. Have a "very nice" bump on me.

Squier VMP in white (06) with RW neck. All original parts available and included,.Made by Cort in Indonesia.
Has tort plate fitted as shown, the original black item is included.
Original Seymour duncan pickups. It sounds lovely.
Unmarked except for a tiny dink, painted over, on the upper bout and shown in closeup photo.Approx 4mm long by 2mm wide and barely visible from more than a foot away, I had to look hard for it to take the picture and you can see from the scale of the photo just how close I had to get to capture it.
I think this is worth £150 plus 24 hour signed shipping at cost (10 pounds). You could arrange your own courier or collect. Its in the mansfield area in nottinghamshire, just off J28 of the M1. You are welcome to come by and try it.

I dont know if Jerry will read this, perhaps he could comment.
I actually like this from the outset and particularly the description of his time with Elvis. I really enjoyed his description of his childhood and found his description of the musical interaction in his first gig absolutely rivetting (although I'm not quite sure the word "motherf_____", used by the bartender to a very underage Jerry was common currency in the 50s, perhaps it was).
Also very interesting was his discussion of how he came to a moment of epiphany about drugs after what seems like fairly enthusiastic consumption. I also enjoyed his outlook on John Denver and his descent from Country music shining star to a very waning star and how John handled it, or perhaps didnt.
I dont think this was meant to be a bass geek book, and it isnt. It is however an enjoyable window into a working musicians life. There are dry bits, but there are enough juicy bits to lubricate them. -

Sure , but its simple enough for those of us who are a little less practiced to achieve and still think. "That sounded pretty good" .
I record my playalongs to see how I did
Like I said, you gotta start somewhere, and if mAkes you listen to the drums to make sure you're in time

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
