  1. Also don't forget to reassure the facebog critics that it "plays like buttah.."
  2. I'll have them please ! If you pm me your email add for PayPal I'll get the dosh to you, i can do it F&F so you don't get fees if you wish..
  3. ^..nah..you'd never find a packet of Embassy in a fag machine in California....
  4. Like the man alluded to, it's people talking bollocks on fizzbok...fk 'em, ignore them, no doubt your bass is a good 'un and is most certainly a P bass as described. I'm putting together a P bass with Jazz neck myself at the mo, tho it's a junk-parts-caster I'd 100% call that a P bass too.
  5. Sounds like they're spouting a load of hogwash to me.... it's a P bass with a Jazz neck, that's what it is... end of !
  6. I had a phase of playing seated, I'd hunt round the venue for a tall bar stool type thing, it was ok but tbh it was more of a gimmick than anything.
  7. I too only flog stuff when it's "£1 max selling fees". I've only flogged one thing since they did this new malarkey, ditched paypal and put it straight into your bank, I'll be interested to see how it pans out. I believe the idea is they take the fees out before you actually get the dosh or some such, and you don't get a demand for fees later on... Luckily I only sell the odd thing very occasionally, I'll be less likely to in future I'd think, the original thing with paypal worked fine really for what it was.
  8. Not really sure at this "concept" stage, I rather fancy the wrecked look though, plus it would save a lot of fiddly finicky business too !
  9. Good to know !... I'm not overly fussy with this kind of stuff so im sure they'll be perfect, as you say, at that price you can't go wrong.
  10. Superglue is a great dodge 👍...wasn't it originally developed as a combat medic type thing for sticking wounds together ?
  11. Good to know someone else has used scaff boards, 👍 ...I've been happy with it for on numerous non musical instrument things I've knocked together and thought it might do nicely. Will be a case of being selective & find some bits that aren't cracked or otherwise dodgy !
  12. Scarily prescient... I was enquiring about scaff board this very morning !!
  13. I'd probably not use a rick type bridge tbh, they're bluddy expensive for one thing, this will be Budgetsville, Bodge City.!.. This "creation" I'd prob carve the body from a chunk or rather several chunks of timber, scaff board is quite a decent spec timber I believe. I've somewhere got a rick shape template I drew on a bit of brown paper for just such a purpose.... A Rick shape would work quite well for this madness as it's a skinny flat thing anyway
  14. I did a few (down tuned) gigs with one of those "Jack" headless basses quite a few years back, it was pretty good as I recall, somewhat different to the Rickenbacker 4001 I was slinging at that time... At the time the perverse thought occurred of doing a Rick shape headless.
  15. Just make sure you get someone who agrees with you on all matters !....
  16. Some would no doubt say "Hammer wielding thug = Bass Player" ... I'd have to confess they're probably spot on there.. !
  17. Nice !...I had the desire to do a headless thing a while back, having seen yours I may well revisit the idea.. is the dramatically named overlord kit any good btw ? I fancied doing a Rickenfaker shape version, though it'd be minus the binding as I wouldn't have the patience to do that, plus I'm basically a hammer wielding thug anyway so wouldn't end well.
  18. You should turn up with a Squier Bronco....
  19. If you're going to be an "80s band", as I would understand it, with popular appeal to dear old Joe and Jo Public, its the way of the world that you'll have to have a good generous slice of "cheese" on the table...
  20. I'd say "you fkg buy it and I'll fkg play it matey "...
  21. How much theory do you actually NEED for what you do ?... In my case over the years very little, life's too short to waste chunks of it on stuff that's not going to help you... Steel helmet now secured, incoming flak barrage awaited....!
  22. When they arrive I'll bung a few CDs in the laptop etc and see what they sound like for general music too ! ...It'll be a joy to have a set of headphones that just work without a load of fiddling for a change ! I did get a real cheapo pair named JVC a while back, I literally threw them straight in the bin after one listen, the sound was utter rubbish, I just soldiered on with the old dodgy wiring set...
  23. All that being said, I like to think I'm quite a nice bloke in general, and if a lad came up to me and asked nicely to use my amp etc, my natural reaction is to say OK.....experience tells me to use caution however, and clearly some people just take the living p1ss....
