I'm pretty much a H/H fan, think they made some great bass amps in their time. Though I think they can be an acquired taste More info here: [url="http://www.hhamplification.co.uk/"]H/H Amplification[/url]

Good newish site on Mick Karn here, looks promising.... [url="http://www.sonsofpioneers.net/"]Sons of Pioneers[/url]

Probably fuzz - my DIY Maestro Brassmaster clone.

I'm having fun with this '78 Antoria (with EMG fitted), bought from Liam (Leeroybass) on here a short while ago.

Hi, echoing other's comments, it is pretty easy. Done it myself on my basses, though at the moment prefering no cover over the pickup, as I found that's the sweetspot for me on a P-Bass. I've done it with the strings still on, electrics in etc.... Would suggest having a few goes with your drill on an old piece of wood first though, just to get the feel of the drill if you haven't used one before. Alternatively, shouldn't think a tech would charge any more than a tenner for drilling four holes, and shouldn't be any chance of messing it up! However, they do look cool IMHO Good luck!

Wouldn't go near it myself

Hi All, A friend of mine's band (Bristol based) are after a bass player. Nice bunch of people, good players. Pub gigs & the odd festival, biker rally etc... Material is rock covers... Another Girl, Another Planet, Paranoid, Ace of Spades, Keep on Running, Purple Haze, Psycokiller, Dock of the Bay, Venus, Kings of Leon & many more..... If you're interested please PM me & I'll pass his details on to you for contact. Cheers Nick

I've got a relatively high action (about 3-4mm) on my Fender CIJ P-Bass which is strung with 49-109 La Bella flats. Use this bass for Motown, soul etc... like the feel of extra tension & resistance, better for ghost notes,double stops etc.... Plus it gives that tone IMHO. All my other basses are strung with lower actions & lighter gauge strings.

Seems like a Fender answer to Lakland's 'Duck Dunn' bass.

I hope whoever's bid on this understands it's not a Fender! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fender-jazz-bass-made-japan-copy-/260791080181?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D278833606352594645"]Columbus Jazz copy[/url]

[quote name='Dave Vader' post='1234047' date='May 17 2011, 10:33 AM']Yeah, all of that, and of course the dread 5 words... "We do it our way..." Which of course means "we don't know how to play it so we made some bits up that are in fact very wrong"[/quote]

+1 Great live band.
