A couple of bits arrived this morning.

If Fender stuck Jazz necks on Precision bodies I'd be more inclined to get one. That's why I built a Warmoth instead.

Played Forte La Carnale in Salerno, Italy on Saturday. 350-400 paying punters @ €15 a pop - not bad This is a very live room - we had trouble with guitar feedback and onstage mixes........ We went out with the promoter on Friday night and turned in around 2.30am.....Saturday, soundchecked at 6.00pm and on stage at around 12.20am on Saturday night, played for over 2 hours and got back to the hotel around 4.30-5.00am....then flew home last night....still knackered tonight Back to normal life tomorrow.

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1336086352' post='1640858'] it’s coming back that’s dangerous, ................................... If you consciously intervene you play a bum note [/quote] Oh yes Been there Have T shirt as proof......

I paid $35 delivery (insured trackable USPS) for some Fender RI Vintage reverse tuners (much cheaper in US than here) , a PBass pickup (much cheaper in US than here) , a neck plate and various bits of other small hardware. Currently the package is in Chicago

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1335963561' post='1638674'] Happen to know what the amp is in the pic? Looks kinda like the Thor I sold to Rose Kemp. Kinda wished I'd had a look inside it first, they are very rare. [/quote] Just spoken to Jack. It is a Thor that he bought from a chap in Brighton that apparently came from a bunch that were discovered in an industrial unit in Milton Keynes a while ago. The cab is a Soundcity

WTF???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

This chap gets us the odd UK gig - he's an indie kinda chap: [url="http://www.flagpromotions.com/"]http://www.flagpromotions.com/[/url]

I generally only go to my own gigs these days!! So I'll plug my gig this Saturday - trouble is it is in Italy in Salerno at forte L Carnale which apparently is a 15th century castle

My GAS got the better of me so much cash has now been spent: P Bass Alder body finished in Graffitti Yellow !!!! J Bass Birdseye Maple neck with Rosewood board and mother of pearl dot inlays Slim taper contour 20 6150 frets White graphtec TUSQ nut Satin Nitro finish Expected arrival 4-5 weeks Already arrived or ordered elsewhere:- Fender Vintage reverse nickel tuners Fender 62 4 ply tort plate Fender Original P bass pickup - ditched the idea of Nordstrand on account that I love the Original pup Strap buttons, string tree, neck plate, screws and shielding Still to order:- John East P retro with vintage knobs. Strings A bridge - Looking at Babicz full contact - shame they don't do a nickel finish one - I know you used to be able to get a nickel finished Badass2 but cannot find one anywhere...so still umming and aahing over a bridge Any ideas for nickel bridges that are not BBOT but can get low action? This is gonna be a nice P - at least I think so....

[quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1335871743' post='1637206'] Why do people go on about upper fret access. I can get to 1-12 un hindered. Thats me covered. [/quote] I sometimes need to go to 14 on the G

Order now placed....

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1335876458' post='1637347'] Depending on what you order there may be taxes levied by customs so factor that into your prices.... [/quote] I understand that and have done it before with US suppliers just never dealt with this lot.

Service from strings direct is top notch. Ordered some EB3flats and got a set with 2 D strings and no A string. After 1 email the A string arrived next day. Exemplary.

I am GASing for another bass build and this site [url="http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/middle_bass.htm"]http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/middle_bass.htm[/url] seems to have quite a few parts in stock cheaper than I can get in UK/EU (even if I add 20% VAT). Obviously ordering parts from Ohio and shipping to UK is something I don't do every day so was wondering if others have dealt with this firm and whether anyone can vouch for their service? TIA

My guess 1 58 - it sounds like new strings - it is very clean but obviously played on a comfortable well setup player 2 MIM - dull sound lifeless yes old strings but sounds more than just a function of the strings - it sounds difficult to play on this bass 3 71 - has the 70s punch and pop befitting of the style of music being played - this clip sounds 'proper'
