Mate you're never too old!!! No age range.... I'm 47, the drummer is early thirties. Rest of the band is 50-ish. Multiple bands shouldn't be a problem, I've been in four bands at the same time, just keep a good diary . Rehearsals, usually thursday nights. Don't worry about five strings, mate, I use a precision to good effect. Go for it!!! Nige

As I'm giving up live music next year, my band Heartbreaker, require a new bass player. We currently play two sets. The first is based largely on Free, and the second more Bad Co, and Queen. The band is based in the West Mids, rehearsals are weekly at Robannas. The current lineup has been together for three years and have played many venues up and down the country, with gigs for next year already being booked. Anyone interested can contact Kev, the singer on 0775 2064010. Tell him Nige put you on to him. Or, you can PM me on here. Here's a link to the bands' website. It has some recordings on which will give an idea of the band. [url="http://heartbreakerpaulrodgerstribute.co.uk/"]http://heartbreakerp...stribute.co.uk/[/url] Nige Position filled....

I've always used lemon oil on rosewood and ebony fretboards with no adverse effects.

Had a lefty explorer bass back in the late eighties, but it wasn't a Gibbo. Jaydee made it for the bass player in Tobruk (remember them?), and the guitarist had a matching six string. I got it second hand, and sold it a few years later.

I've got an "audition" for this in a week or so. I'm not convinced, but the singer wants to do it.

[quote name='S9_S12_Bass' timestamp='1349872567' post='1831552'] surely they can't all be plugged in at the same time? [/quote] Nah, just for showing off...... the OBC115 has now got a new home

Used to have one of the two pick up passive ones. Quite heavy and a very jazz like neck. Ended up whacking an MEC active circuit in it. Sounded great, but still too heavy for longer sets

Try CH Guitars on ebay. They have a lot of that sort of gubbins.

Give Joe at Guitar Spares and Repairs a ring on 0121 236 4488. He's done refrets and set-ups for me in the past. Excellent work at a good price. Nige

Have a word with Phil Gowers the amp tech at PMT in Birmingham. He's done some work for me and was great. Also, Steve Parry, the in-house repair guy at Madhouse studios, also in Brum.

She can afford to fund a world tour, so what's happening to the money from ticket sales? Assuming people have bought any......

Don't know whether the seller is optimistic or genuinely barking. Could be a very nice rig.......

[quote name='pietruszka' timestamp='1346930668' post='1794900'] What, two pick guards? [/quote] Funny you should say that, but yeah, as well

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1346878863' post='1794513'] That pickguard design is so elegant. And they support lefty players. [/quote] Yep.... I have two

Mike Levine of Triumph, Dan Roberts of Crash Test Dummies, Gord Sinclair of The Tragically Hip, Steve Fossen, the original bass player in Heart.

Alain Caron

Other than that, it looks like one of the new Rock basses..........

Looks like it's covered in lichen.

In one persona i'm Nitrous JJ Hotrod................

The technique is sloppy on this vid, but pretty accurate [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDrQIcKFFs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GDrQIcKFFs[/url]

I'm giving up live music next year, so I can have my life back. After 32 years in bands, no holidays etc, losing girlfriends. Time for a break.

Looks good, almost Sadowsky-ish, any idea of a guesstimate on the retail? And what is the bridge?
