Grace and Danger from John Martyn. John Giblin plays so tasteful and so beautiful on that album.

Just started with a Billy Joel Tribute Band. Three rehearsals and yesterday evening our first concert and it has been an amazing pleasure playing all these great basslines.

Thickness at 1st fret and 12th fret: BB424 22mm 25mm BB734A 21mm 23mm

Played at a wedding many many years ago. The groom was in a wheelchair. All was going well and we play our rock&roll medley including a Dutch song which has a chorus going "hey get off that roof, I'm not gonna warn you again". We get a lot of weird/angry looks from the audience, during our break we hear that the groom had fallen off a roof and was partially paralysed because of that.

Fantastic and very kind gesture. Definitely interested.

Nice one. And a lot of bass for the price. Here you can see I like them too, I now have four Yamaha's. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/105826-yamaha-appreciation-thread/page__view__findpost__p__3284199"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__3284199[/url]

Fender 50's Roadworn TTS Don't know what it is but it has an allparts neck, a mexican P-pickup, unknown lightweight body with carpaint on it and anonymous hardware. Neck is really great so maybe I will try to find a good body and a different pickup and see what that brings.

My Yamaha BB1024 Vintage White.

And then last week another second hand buy. BB414 Black Sparkle, a lot of bass for € 150,- including a case.

Then came an offer I couldn't refuse when a shop had a massive discount on their Yamaha's. BB1024 TBS

Then this one came, second hand. BB415 Orange Sparkle

Bought my first Yamaha new last year. BB1024 Vintage White

Hey The Greek, Thank you so much, I think I got them. Went over to the first link you send and I think they are LaBella [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]760FX (Extra Light .039 .056 .077 .096) = [/size][/font][/color][b][color=red]Almost Red Orange[/color][/b][color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] Silk [/size][/font][/color] [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Colour kinda looks the same I think (picture from the internet and no daylight here anymore to really compare) but the string gauges also are the same so I think it must be them.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Never expected this to sort itself out so quickly.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Once again thank you very much.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#191919][font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]MGB[/size][/font][/color]

I have a question. Installed some flats on one of my basses today and they sound absolutely great. Problem is I don't know which brand they are. They came on a bass I bought second hand long time ago and first thing I did was remove them. I'm older and wiser now and I would like to experiment with flats. So... does anybody know which brand uses an orange/red winding at the headstock part of the string? At the ball-end there's no colour at all. I hope somebody can help. MGB
