My influences bass YES Gibson EB-3,Andy Fraser - Free,do i have one no.

I've not really got on with active basses,or ones with switches on.(exceptions being Alembic/JD/Wal)

Thanks,just the single pickup that threw me.Ibanez Artcore.

Any idea what make this is ?

Not getting "arsey" just stating my own opinion.

I didnt say that you said to me they would.

No reason not to do it.I would make sure that the hole centers are the same distance from the straight edge at the top of the headstock though.I would imagine that it's a fairly common mod.

With todays technology there is no excuse for a sloppy neck joint,i could,and,have done it with a car boot sale router.

Roto's rock,had mine on my Jazz for about 10 years,and they are still as dead as they were a month after i got them.

I think you'll find that the "big name" brands wont cost the factory significantly more to construct,labour costs will be a big factor.

If only there was a cheap Alembic or Wal copy. delberthot,that was unreal.

I'll play.

The Stagg gig bag is probably the best thing they sell,i've had mine 5 years or so and it's used almost daily £35.

Cack pic.

I cant watch it again,but does he throw it round the back of his head ?

A tasty fish ?

Apparently it was bought from the Bass Place in Newcastle before it shut, but didn't Chris have something to do with them? [/quote] Howard (Bass Doc)owned Bass Place in Newcastle.

[quote name='TheRockinRoadie' post='1163332' date='Mar 15 2011, 05:02 PM']I cant really give a valid oppinion, as i only had it for three weeks. It was a great bass. It felt nice to play, it was simple and effective. The neck pickup was incredibly warm, and the bridge pickup was rounded and defined. I have recommended this bass to people since. The guy who bought it from me seemed fairly chuffed with it, he played it live on the radio a week later! But as you will know - Go try one yourself, its the only way to know![/quote] Thanks,i never buy anything without trying it first,and have played a couple,but it seems im stuck in a traditional shape bass rut.

When i hit 40, i still had very long hair no grey and no bass man gut! It's unfair now that im 49,32 yr old wife,3 kids under12 and a Harley,still no bassman gut,cant now afford all the toys i had when i was 40,or anything really! Im off the radar kids came along and still love playing "Free" songs .And im going grey/bald.And im joining a band of much less tallented numpties soon. I think i might have f****d up,but i give less of a toss about it now than i did then.
