  1. Make sure you pop into the Neptune in Whitstable
  2. Agreed, think I got carried away
  3. Just giving this thread a poke, everyone seems to have gone off grid
  4. PS no idea re gigs, will ask around the usual suspects
  5. Enjoy our fine city mate
  6. To this point it was a load of bull
  7. And we don’t want to get into a beef with him
  8. I think we should respect the builder, from his POV there’s a lot at steak
  9. Folks, this thread made my Friday morning, thank you. Cow references were amusing, strangling a giraffe singled handed even more so. Mwah not moo however finished me off. Thanks again
  10. Nice isn’t it, will probably be for sale soon however, as I like a Precision to have a Precision neck, it’s a bit thin for me
  11. I’m too jealous to look at this thread for more than one minute per week
  12. Going on eBay at the weekend
  13. That’s about right. Signage not necessary I suspect
  14. Time for a bigger house
  15. Some amps please the head, others please the heart. I prefer those that please the heart. I suspect Mr Kilmister was of similar view
  16. I suspect that Fender did that with an old bass of mine
  17. Old school heft, Marshall heft, the kind of heft that has a direct linear relationship with only one variable: not watts, impedance or size, but mass
  18. I imagine there was PA support Imagine standing in front or a 4x15 and - at head height - a 4x12. Even 100w is going to be pretty impressive. And these were proper old money watts of course
  19. As a Motorhead fan in the early 80's imagine my sheer joy to find myself, at a friend's gig at a club in Holland Park in London, next to Lemmy at the bar. We sat there for an hour or so, chewed the fat, he bought us a drink, we I think were skint so didn't return the favour but IIRC he didn't seem to mind. A really nice, calm, intelligent guy. Don't think he said one thing that suggested he was a famous musician. I do remember that I spent the whole night with my leather jacket zipped up desperate for him not to see my Motorhead t-shirt! One of rock's great characters. The story of how he 'left' Hawkwind is a classic
  20. I miss that dude
  21. As above, the stacked knob feature is nothing more than a circuit configuration. With Jazz Basses, circuits are so easy to change and so varied that I’ve always seen them as being like a bridge or PUPs, that is part of the Bass with which you experiment until you get it right, more than a defining feature of the instrument itself. For example I’ve tried active versus passive, series versus/and parallel, VVT versus VTP versus VT/VT etc. Best advice I can give us to find the Jazz you like best and install the circuit.
