Who ever would consider doing a thing like that now?

Have you checked out the Brucie Baby version of this. Not quite Northern Soul, but still good!

Here's a left bookend for you

Surprised no one's brought this one up....

What a great thread (other than the bit about Leeds...as a Londoner I went to college in Leeds because people were massively more friendly than London). Newcastle is massively friendly for a Southerner if you accept them on their terms (not hard). Grainger Town is a revelation (Looks like Bath) and the countryside is properly beautiful.

Left-Handed Fretless Basses <1000£
Piers_Williamson replied to mario_buoninfante's topic in Lefties!
Cool. I'm not in the business of promoting the Gallery (although they did a fantastic job for me recently reverting a Wal to fretless). they do appear to have a new l/h Player Jazz which I am sure they would de-fret for you and set up, all within your budget. Just talk to Martin or John. I think they would take as much pride in this as a more expensive project. -
Left-Handed Fretless Basses <1000£

An alternative suggestion....pick up something like a fretted Mexican Jazz and take it to your local friendly luthier. The Bass Gallery advertises defret and lining for £110, and they will set the bass up for you -

And to ask the nurdy question, what is that Left Handed Bass Camelle Hinds is playing in the Style Council set? -
I have a lefty version of this bass and have been playing it over Christmas (re-taught myself the Alphonso Johnson/Jeffrey Osbourne line 'Stay with me Tonight'). It's an incredibly stable bass....keeps its tuning. Quite lively pickups...much more what I imagine a 70's Jazz to sound like, despite all the early Jazz references. Great all rounder bass.

Could I have the name of your osteopath?

Nothing like that for keeping all the royalties to one's self

What a great thread! No one has actually said who had the misfortune to play the bass part on this......

Last night's gig...anyone good at Cuban Jazz Vibes out there?

Removing CITES materials from a fretboard inlay.

But my goodness, that is an incredibly beautiful guitar Jazzyvee! -
Stickers on Basses? - Show Them!
Piers_Williamson replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Gear Gallery
If bitsa bass count...these are quite famous stickers (Paul Simonon's London Calling 78 Precision) -
What a great vid. I think I have the 12" single of that somewhere. It has always sounded like a synth bass to me though. How do you get your sound?

I would just like to say that looking at the pics brought a big grin to my face. I think it is so OTT it is pretty good (but I'm a leftie, so not much use to me)
