[quote name='martthebass' post='312518' date='Oct 22 2008, 09:26 PM']+1, being an eighties reject meself. I guess you had to be there to understand it?[/quote] +2 then . One of my fave bands (who got lumped in with the New Romantics, but weren't) was The Thompson Twins.

Yep.

Anyone remember the Cro-Mags? They were a hardcore band from the 80's, the vocalist was Harley Flannigan and they were Hare Krishna's.

I used to quite like Stryper. does that count?

Bass players in hats rule!

Lovely! what made you decide to add the scratch plate? Looks good both ways though.

The ramp between the pup thing looks cool, but I'm only having 1 pup. The all in one thing, is as much to keep the aesthetic, as it is practical. I think scalloping the ramp at the neck is the answer?

Salisbury Arms, pub in Luton but miles out from the centre. New landlord wants to make a go of it as a music venue and has bands booked every week past New Year. We had our usual Polish contingent among the fans (due to our Polish drummer) and as the support band we had more people watching us than the headlining band. Belted out our usual medley of old school heavy metal and covers of Iron Maiden, Accept, and Venom. Went down well

Wasn't it Yorkshire TV who made 3-2-1? I'm not sure of the copy-right issues, but it might be worth contacting them & Challenge TV? Also I think a version of 5 Star is still doing the rounds. Could be worth contacting them?

a slight bend in your hand, and use the top (near wrist) part of the palm to mute - for me it's the fleshy part of the thumb joint - as you move across and up following the floating thumb. Also don't forget about muting with your fretting hand. And if your hands are big enough, use your thumb to mute the E string. Find your own way and whatever works (that doesn't cause you injury!) works!

You want to be going for a UHF system rather that a VHF. VHF are cheaper, and for a reason! There are always deals and bargains to be had, it's just a case of being lucky and finding them. The above is IMO and experience, I'm sure others may disagree.

[quote name='Gridlad' post='306793' date='Oct 15 2008, 12:43 AM']A big band arrangement of Spain.[/quote] ooh! good luck, the stops and changes IIRC from my younger days, are quite challenging. Having a horn section will help. But back to the OP, for me Back to Black by Amy Winehouse. I did it tonight at an acoustic night on guitar, but the first thing I learned (even though I didn't play it) was the bass line. I am a bassist after all

[quote name='NancyJohnson' post='304145' date='Oct 10 2008, 07:59 PM']...but do you not get my point? You said as much in your post (and I quote): [i]My build is unlike anything Jon has ever built before[/i]. Jon is building your bass, not [i]you[/i]. I understand the talent these luthiers have, I really do, but my point here is what quantifies a build diary - it's Jon building your bass, so shouldn't he be blowing his own trumpet maybe? I don't know. At the end of the day, you're paying the guy for his talent and ability to provide you with your dream bass; credit to you for putting your trust and money into someone you believe in, I salute you, but, irrespective of your dreams or desires it's really not so different than placing an order with the Warwick or Fender custom shops (albeit you're dealing on a more personal basis), or getting someone to build you a car part or a computer and taking the credit for it as [i]your [/i]build.. I'm not trying to piss anyone off here, but there are a lot of projects creeping into this part of the forum that in my opinion should be elsewhere. P[/quote] I think I get your point, but the way I look at it, the build thread wouldn't be happening if it wasn't for me. If I had the talent and ability to make my own bass from scratch, that would have happened. But I don't. Like other Shuker threads, Jon isn't running blind with my bass, but what he is doing, is what I can't. Every step of the way I am in charge, so have to disagree because this is definitely [i]my [/i]bass, and not Jon's - although he is building it - but the bottom line is if it wasn't for me he would not be building a bass like this. BTW not p1553d 0ff!
