I Have a 66 J. If it had a B string I would not play or own any other bass guitars. As it is, I hardly ever play it but cannot bring myself to move it on. I am respecting Beedster's attitude to moving his 64P. I am a sentimental old fool.

I sold BB a Status Streamline. It was easy (see above). He then sold it back to me again. Most excellent.

My brother has this in his garage. It is obv old and rusty. He is guessing Carlsboro, but is resigned to being wrong. Can anyone throw any info at us?

It does not really matter how it plays, it sounds like it looks DA BOMB.

That D-stop is superb. So simple, but so obvious. It is one of the major gripes I have with my NS5.

He's a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar + bass + drums, but his approach to all three instruments is the same. [size=5][b]LOOK AT ME! ME!! ME!!![/b][/size] Doesn't matter what else is happening on stage, who else is (supposed to be) soloing, what sort of song is being played. It's just incessant widdling and fills and fast runs and ... oh, you get the picture. I'm sure that he's technically very clever, but musically he's a complete dickhead.[/quote] "Yeah man, that's great. But what's your story? What are you saying?" - Lester Young

If so could you PM me? I have an outstanding Paypal dispute going on and I hope someone might give me some info. I am not going to ask anyone to do anything, don't worry. I am just wondering if anyone gigs down there and might have noticed a new cymbal being used that I am yet to be paid for. Thanks.

Harland & Wollf shipyard on top of my own 30ft scaff tower which was part of a circle of 8 such towers each with it's own dedicated PA stack all rigged to an 8 way joy-stick on the PA. The dancers came down from the ceiling and threw chalk and earth at the audience. We were fearsomely loud and we got paid well. You have to love groundbreaking theatre

I live in a music shop desert. Has anyone plugged a bass into one of these yet? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNk9akSRy_Q"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNk9akSRy_Q[/url]

I do not know much about your EUB, but in my LONG journey in trying to get decent tone out of piezo pickups there are a couple of things I have learnt. 1. The pickup has to have a decent amount of pressure on it. 2. It needs a good pre-amp. If a piezo is not being buffered properly it will be scratchy and horrible and horrible. Did I mention horrible? I suspect (but am ready to be corrected) that one piezo pickup is the same as any other. I don't think that they differ like alnico, steel etc etc etc. I am almost certain that it the present pick up is mounted properly and it is seeing a pretty hefty impedance from a new preamp then you will be happy.

The whole 1234 thing is pretty do-able. The only time I struggled through years of doing classical stuff is one of the Enigma Variations (I forget which one, but it was the one which was kind of mirroring the ocean going liner engine) which was a much repeated slurred F to G sharp on the E string (I did it with 1 to 4 without shifting because otherwise there would have been a kind of sickly lurch!). Other than that it has never been an issue. My hands are fairly large, but not bonkersly so. I do not do as much classical stuff these days and will lapse into 1+4 for octaves (that is just laziness) but my intonation has never been an issue, or one for my pupils.
