    Not in the same class as The Goodies excellent "Funky Gibbon"....... Back to the OP; no mention yet of the endearing double-entendre of "My ding-a-ling" - Chuck Berry - and "(Don't mess with) My toot toot" - Denise LaSalle

    There are so many, really Radio 2 favourite "Hotel California" (Eagles) is supposed to be about heroin addiction, and "House of the Rising Sun" is famously risque, about a brothel (lyrics tamed down for the Animals version)

    Happy Jack is yer man for this All I know is the President was the top line model for both guitar and bass, and they don't seem to be worth as much as you think they should be (compared to Gibsons, Guilds etc) Lovely looker

    Vin bought a Jazz bass bridge ashtray off me - smooth easy deal, great communications, prompt payment - thanks fella!

    I suspect the wings were originally finished in dark lacquer and have been stripped and re-finned in "natural", but could be wrong Nice unusual bass

    That's quite amazingly impressive....... If you could print the slider caps for the TE in fluoro green, that would look so cool. And bi- amping is the way to go..... The "little white nip" slider caps seem to be ubiquitous on Brit amps - whilst looking for spares for the TE I noticed the ones on my Ashdown MK 500 were exactly the same (pic below)

    I had a set of near-new La Bella strings from Douglas via the "Recycling" forum, and as with Rick's experience posted above; he wouldn't even let me cover postage. In my years on Bass World / Talk / Chat pretty much every dealing with a forum member has been a real pleasure, but every so often you have contact with one who just goes above and beyond, and reminds you what a great community this is - Douglas is very much much one of those. Thanks fella!

    Ditto to post above, apart from the postman Pat bit! Smooth transaction; deal with Gary in complete confidence.

    PM'd re the La Bellas

    Lol! I'd keep it for a spare I was you Stew, the little sods have a habit of attempting to escape to an alternative universe.......(possibly parallel to the one that all my pens and socks go to....)

    Absolutely stunning bass.... if it's the same luthier, I understand he hand cast the ""R" tailpiece, using an original as a template

    I use Ashdown mini 4x8 and 1x15 cabs (with upgraded drivers) with either an Ashdown MK 500 or Mesa Walkabout head as my "compact" rig - they're superb and robust little cabs, and the entire rig fits in the boot of my hatchback without needing to put the rear seats down. Looking at the pic in the OP - wouldn't it work better with the 4x8 on top, or does that block ventilation slots on the combo?

    I'm glad he's still on form - he seemed to lose his way rather after the Jam split. I saw The Jam back in 1980 at Deeside (Setting Sons tour) and BF was superb; playing a P bass incidentally. Re listening to festivals from afar - I grew up only a couple of hundred yards from Cherry Hinton Hall which is where they hold the annual Cambridge Folk Festival - opening my bedroom window at night I could clearly hear the likes of Joan Baez, Taj Mahal, Don McLean, The Cheiftans etc.......happy days

    Alas out of my reach, but that's definitely how to take a set of pics of a vintage bass when selling Someone will be very lucky
  18. Shaggy
    Nice - always quite fancied one of those Shaftesburys (who made some of the more decent 1970's copies) - it's more a bass version of the Ric 330 guitar, whereas the 4005 is a bass version of the 360 guitar, with more rounded upper and lower body horns. Rick's Fine '52 has a couple of awesome custom made 4005's (non-Ric) hopefully he'll stop by and post some pics......

    Music always evolves, and the music of youth will always kick against whatever went before it. It doesn't much matter what it's labelled as NB: I have Dewalt and Bosch power drills - covers all situations......
  20. Shaggy
    Agreed!

    I bet MK gets fed up of being asked about the "thumb insurance"! (only taken out during a previous record contract apparently....)

    Genuine Fender, unused in unopened packaging. Cheapest I can see online is £25, so how about £17 posted? (Mainland UK) Edit - now SOLD, thanks
  23. Shaggy
    Selling a few parts off - Schaller 3D-4 bass bridge in satin black finish. These are about the best bass bridges there are IMHO, and I've found that Schaller parts have the best quality and most durable plating, whether it's gold, chrome, or black. Used, but in great nick. £30 posted in mainland UK. edit - now sold pending payment
  24. Shaggy
    You all know what these do - been around a while now, but great little units with some really good effects and amp models, plus a built in tuner. Has the factory patches on plus a few very useable downloaded custom ones: "Another one bites the dust", "Police rock", "Moonlight" (flanged Phil Lynot), and "Steve Harris". In good nick and fully working, with 9V power supply and a manual. Edit - as there seem to be a couple of these FS at the moment, I'll drop to £35 collected from Swansea or £40 posted

    A recent transaction with Stew - no money changing hands, but a deal is a deal! Top guy, and I always enjoy his posts - definitely one of those who make BC the great place it is
