Play less notes.

An IBAN transfer directly through my bank is £4, and the money lands in Adrian's account within 24 hours.

Random observation: [url="http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart/19621011/7501/"]Here's the UK chart the first time the Beatles appeared in it[/url]. 'Love Me Do' must have sounded like something from outer space. As for their early songs being 'boy loves girl' - absolutely right. But as someone who was there when it all happened pointed out to me - the knowing swagger in the first line of 'Saw Her Standing There' was new, and also marked a culture shift. 'Well she was just seventeen / You know what I mean...?' I wasn't around when it happened, but I can totally see Blue's POV. That's not an endorsement of your approach, BTW :-)

Aren't they great? We need a Little Feat appreciation thread on BC. So here it is. Get involved. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dXxZNsg8ew

Them keyboards, man... eeeurgh!

What's the outstanding issue at the moment?

This is the P I had with a Bartolini in it. Loads of life... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEyjx9sUyYQ

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1455832211' post='2982899'] I'm hearing a lot about this manufacturer on BC, but I don't personally know anyone who has one. I assume that as there are 23 pages devoted to them that they are the real deal? I have to say their website is littered with eye candy at good prices. There are three or four I would have a hard time choosing between. Someone please tell me it's too good to be true [/quote] I've been banging on about them to the point where I've probably sounded a bit obsessed. I feel a bit better now a few people have them - at least I know I haven't been imagining it. :-)

If the monitors are 'proper' pro standard, you can rely on those. Also, don't let the band's volume spiral out of control just because it's a big venue. Keep it controlled.

p.s. I love the Beatles :-)

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1455790858' post='2982400'] What are you going for? I take it your white one sold? (I didn't see if you mentioned it in the thread or not!) [/quote] Yep, it's in-transit to its new owner. I'm trying to be adventurous with the new spec, but I know what I like so the apple might not fall far from the tree. We'll see.

I'm about ready to order - I just need to man-up and commit to a couple of tweaks in the spec. I CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE!

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1455726987' post='2981878'] I would echo this, the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Haeussel Precision pickup in mine is warm and vintagy, very much like my '71 Precision. The Humbucker is hotttttt, but sounds brilliant.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Si[/font][/color] [/quote] Is your humbucker a Haussell too, Si..?

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1455727773' post='2981885'] As for Adrian's shop, I've never seen so much bass stock! Wow, just wow! [/quote] Aye... I wonder how the WoT family would feel about a holiday in Germany this year...?

Beautiful.

My Haussel-laden PJ is warm and vintagey, exactly as Adrian said it would be. My Maruszczyk-wearing Oly (which has just been put in a postbox, on its way to its lucky new owner) is hotter and more aggressive. And the bridge humbucker burps like a monster.

Beautiful. I want that neck flame on my new one.

My word. I have to go there... And that J is beautiful. Congrats!

[quote name='Davebassics' timestamp='1455650437' post='2981184'] I'm in the market for a fretless and these are beautiful! Only seem to have fretted on the website though? Incredibly silly question .... How do you pronounce Maruszczyk?!

I picked up a '71 a while ago that had a Bart P pickup in it. It was scrumptious - so woody, with loads of character. I shouldn't have sold the bass, really.

[quote name='AREA' timestamp='1455615920' post='2980624'] Today Afternoon, I'll go to Aldenhoven, to visit Adrian in his Showroom. Maybe I'll take my Camera with me, and to be prepared an empty Basscase. [/quote] Great! Send my regards, and - if you do requests - can you take pics of some Lake Placid Blue basses, please? Thank you!

[quote name='jazzyvee' timestamp='1455526354' post='2979730'] Here is one based in the USA.

Do people actually wear this stuff?

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1455385054' post='2978699'] No such thing! [/quote] Correct (apart from BC tees, of course).
