[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1459165546' post='3013977'] Me too, got one CD by them, Getaway and it`s excellent. [/quote] Lozz check out Replenish- great, heavy soulful riff rock.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1459163316' post='3013943'] I was 18 when Replenish came out and it was near life-changing. This was the band I'd been looking for, killer riffs, grooves, Gary Stringer's awesome, soulful vocals...and that album had an awesome vibe. Gary's vocals changed and became a bit more West Country and a bit less soulful after the first album and they were never quite the same for me after that. Seen them live about a dozen times and they are easily one of the best live bands I've seen. Sadly Kenwyn House has gone and been replaced by a different axeman, but big Jack holds the groove nicely. There might still be a video on YouTube of them performing Good Feeling on The Word, about 20 years ago, and Jack's rocking a sweet Stingray. Brilliant band, who sadly had their cred somewhat damaged, unfairly, by It's Your bleedin' Letters. (They HATED that - Chris Evans said it was only going to be used once, and proceeded to use it every week for about two years, much to the band's dismay). [/quote] Replenish is an incredible album, and yes Reef were a different band altogether back then. Far better when they played in Drop-D tuning as most of that album is! I followed them for a while, being from t'westcountry and all. Didn't really like Glow although there are a couple cool tracks on it, Rides was better in my opinion. Getaway kinda felt like Glow all over again. I really rated Ken House as a guitarist as well, great chops. Their new guitarist is Ronnie Wood's son.

Was this the charity event thingy in their home town? I've seen Reef several times live, they are a very solid live band.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1459068990' post='3013204'] I am so far off being one of the forum's Fender experts, but I'm pretty sure that isn't a pre CBS Precision logo. Anyone verify or correct this? [/quote] CBS era not pre-CBS. Still, I think I'll stick with my D'addarios thanks

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1458172644' post='3005390'] I like it, in its way. I'm not sure about the bridge though - is it on straight? [/quote] Yeah the bridge looks out of place. I think the neck could also be a bit more adventurous!

He's obviously had a look at Bravewood relics and thought he'd have a go. Totally realistic, especially with the as-new condition neck and hardware.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1457879496' post='3002576'] My dad has been in the motor trade for 40 years. The very first thing he does when buying any new vehicle, and something I've heard him tell others dozens on times, is check when/if the cam belt has been changed. If there's nothing to say it has been, then change it straight away. It's a relatively minor and cheap thing that can save you msmy hundreds of pounds. [/quote] Needless to say, I've followed this rule ever since.

Like above, I think this would be a hard thing to conceal for a month and the seller probably had no knowledge. How many times have you had a vehicle break down with a major fault? How many times were you aware this was going to happen 4 weeks in advance? I bought a car a few years back, and within 2 weeks the cambelt snapped costing me over £1000 to repair the top end of the engine. Absolutely no way the seller could have known this would happen. If you're confident he did know, you'd have to prove it had been concealed somehow for the sale. Hoping it gets sorted.

[quote name='Pestie' timestamp='1457530705' post='2999400'] Hello Everyone Has anybody had one of these MIM Jazz's? I have been looking at one elsewhere but don't know what they are like. Any views or suggestions will be gratefully received. It's part of my ongoing search for a Jazz that I can get on with. Cheers Mike (Pestie) [/quote] Pestie, What didn't you like about the Road Worn? The Classic 50's/ 60's series are a premium Mexican range, but will differ slightly from the RW in that they will have a Poly finish and be unrelic'ed. Anecdotally, I've heard the RW series use different woods, which would back up my experience of lighter, more resonant woods. I'm pretty sure the RW might have had deeper contours too, however I've only compared the P basses, and this was a few years back. What I'm trying to get at, is whether you'll find what you are looking for in a Classic 60's that you didn't find in the RW.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1457483126' post='2999058'] Yeah, you know it's a quality gig when someones shoe goes sailing pass your head. True story 😃 Blue [/quote] We had a bit of crowd surfing at a beer festival a few years ago. One young lad fell face-first onto a floor monitor and knocked himself clean out. Crowd carried on dancing around him!

I bet you look good on the dance floor- Artic Monkeys. What happened to that Hard-Fi band from a few years back? They seemed to make a few pub fight songs. It's basically any post 90's upbeat rock song, without the benefit of self-awareness, that seems to do it.

If you try and download it again, it will usually tell you you've paid for this app previously and download it for free. It has for me before with other apps anyway!

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1456511149' post='2989913'] I had a 'I ought to have a fender' phase a while ago, the upshot being a trip to Bristol and a good look round pmt, virtually every mexican jazz they had on display had a pocket gap big enough to slip a pick in either side, leading me to think they're very hit and miss. The usa models were no better built than my old Tokai, I left with a smile on my face and my money still in my pocket 😊. (The phase has passed) [/quote] Go MIJ for craftsmanship. I've always felt (from my experience) the USA's use the better quality materials whereas the MIJ's use cheaper components but put them together far better. Post 2012 USA's are supposedly much improved but I've never played one!!

Nonsense the lot of you! It'll polish out. Bit of T-cut and elbow grease she'll be as good as new.

In halfords you can buy a set of sanding pads in grey, green and red of various grits. In the body work aisle IIRC. These work great for jobs such as this. Use the finest one and run over the back of the neck. If you want it to go back to gloss in the future, a high-grade wet 'n dry and a polish will bring the shine back. I had to do this to my '83 JV, if it makes you feel better. 😊

[quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1455860463' post='2983002'] I've done my 20 years on a four string and am now really enjoying 6ers! [/quote] After 20 on a 4-string, you need 30 on a 5. No cheating!

Skank raises a very important point here: What has happened to white dog sh1t?

Stephen bought a couple of pre-amp valves off me. Communication was great and a no-nonsense deal throughout. Happy days. 😊
