[quote name='doc40hz' timestamp='1477906901' post='3165100'] I thinking of making a Steve Harris replica out of a cheap P-Bass. Anyone have any idea of what paint to use to achieve the blue sparkle finish. Is there a spray paint that would do the job? Cheers! [/quote] I'd save up and buy a second hand one. You won't regret it. I picked up one on here.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1482510019' post='3201216'] I've got welding tools from the wife for Christmas but I've a few more things in my watch list including a big bottle of gas which can't be posted so I might see if I can collect it while I'm off. We had a new car this year so that has wiped us out, jam sandwiches for Christmas at our house [/quote] Laughing gas?

I do every year. I've just ordered a bass pedal 😁

Being stubborn and continuing to play Steve Harris style!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.

Fell asleep on the sofa and went back upstairs at 7. Then suddenly massive noise coming fron the chimney breast. Wife says it's a trapped bird. I said an anorexic Santa. Any ideas?

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1481946923' post='3196497'] Think of something that makes you happy. Try to think about it in as much detail as you can. Enjoy it...a mug of warm milk and honey will sometimes do the trick too. [/quote] It's exactly what I did

Anyone up? Hopefully I'll be fast asleep by the time anyone replies.

Helloween- Halloween Does this count?

I gigged in my late teens and early 20's. My 300 w Peavey combo weighed a ton. My current 100w Fender rumble is feather weight and gives out lots of power but for a gig I'd choose something beefy. I would go to a war driving a tank not waving a feather duster.😂

Sure tapping was used by violin players centuries ago x

Be careful, She might blow your low end!

I'm bored with advent calendar.Everytime I open a window, another chocolate. Don't get me wrong I love chocolate. Bur how about an advent calendar filled with basses, amps and effects. Just sayin'...😊

If I ever gig I won't care about having a heavy rig. It probably takes 5 mins longer and more effort to unload etc. So be it. If you like the design and sound buy it. Don't let others to influence you. If I had spare cash I'd get Ampeg svt vintage and two 4x10 cabs.I wouldn't care about the weight.

Cheers

What make are you zebra pick ups in the electric guitar?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1481291146' post='3191277'] Agree re the Matt Freeman, I`ve jus picked one up and it`s a very nice bass. I`ve heard plenty being played and they`ve always sounded great to me. Was amazed at how nicely if plays though. [/quote] This

It's unique. If someone steals it, it can be easily identified 😉

Never owned one. Once I master the four string one I may get one.

[quote name='grandad' timestamp='1481176719' post='3190214'] Thank you for that. After listening several times on headphones my old ears could only hear a very slight difference between them. How to describe the subtle variations I don't know. I'd say the D'Addario sounded brightest but not bright. The Fender and Rotosound were even/balanced. La Bella deep/soft. Thomastik were growly. Anyone else care to post a quick impression? [/quote] My old ears suffer too. I think rotosounds were the brightest sounding flats.

I've found this, hope it helps to flatwound lovers. https://youtu.be/6R2LOXMqyg8

[quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1481058848' post='3189426'] Do you support West Ham? [/quote] No but I've played the bass twice and it sounds great. Saw Steve Harris playing last week and the bass looks awesome dispite the WH logo.
