[quote name='davedave' timestamp='1412454097' post='2569099'] I've always wanted a slab P since I saw an article in Bassist magazine years ago. I saw the one that belonged to T-Rex's bass player down Denmark St a good few years ago. For some stupid reason I didn't go and kick its tyres. There was a late 60s Rickenbacker 4005 and a early 50s custom colour P down there too around that time. I didn't try those either. I am a silly boy. Lovely work mate. I've seen a few of yours now and they all look stunning. [/quote] I remember that T Rex bass. It had a whacking great pickup installed by the bridge - a Guild I think. Ruined the charm a bit for me.

Nice! I had a Cheyenne once but the neck was horrendous sadly... I hear the current ones are far nicer. I sent mine back after two days and had them send me a 4003 instead so all was well.

[quote name='Toasted' timestamp='1412160075' post='2566210'] You started it. [/quote] No he didn't. Look back at Blisters' first post on this thread - pure trolling if ever I saw it!

See my sig! I also have an old Dynelectron Longhorn in need of TLC and refurbishment and, recently added (and really deserving of it's own thread), a rather magnificent Fernandes FAB 180. Again, they all do [i]very[/i] different things - aside from the two Yamahas which do exactly the same thing.

I reckon a nice vintage white or mint would look [i]fabulous[/i].

[quote name='ern500evo' timestamp='1411919517' post='2563884'] Both of those isolated tracks are different to the version I've got on a Quadrophenia soundtrack! [/quote] John was in charge of remixing the songs for the soundtrack and re-recorded his bass lines with his Alembics. It's a much grittier, treblier sound than the original but unfortunatley his playing is a lot sloppier on the soundtrack. Probably fuelled by brandy. The soundtrack album is a bit hit and miss - do yourself a favour and get the original, it makes much more sense.

The whole ahead/behind of the beat thing is something I have never been able to understand.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1411857153' post='2563402'] Anyone know what he was using on the track? [/quote] Gibson Thunderbird, probably still using Hiwatt at the time.

I am now the proud owner of Ash's Fernandes FAB 180. And fab it certainly is. Ash is an extremely honest and upfront chap, the bass is exactly as described and was delivered very quickly and very well packed. I'm off now to do some more Ox impressions. Ash - thank you for everything.

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1411755738' post='2562589'] I knew nothing about it just told Mrs2611 about it as it is one of her favourite albums... I am currently wearing one of her shoes as a hat [/quote] It was only announced 3 days ago. I never thought I'd say it but thank God for Facebook!

It's not bad. Totally lacking in excitement though. It reminds me of a cross between "Did You Steal My Money" and "Keep On Working". And we can praise Pino as much as we like, he's still wildly unsuitable for the job.

So, anybody manage to get tickets for this? It didn't quite reach Kate Bush-level mania but probably not far off! I managed to get one for the Roundhouse so I am pleased.

Flipping 'eck!

I have to ask - what's with all the seemingly random pictures?

Can you ring them back? Probably wouldn't achieve much other than getting a definite yes or no but it might make them squirm a bit!

Yep. Lee Pomeroy. He seems to get all the cool gigs - Steve Hackett, ELO... Take That I had a good old chat with him in the gents' at the last LBGS. Top chap, although he was a bit sad at having to miss the Roger Glover masterclass!

Let's not forget his early work with pioneering power trio The Big Three. I don't think they left much of a recorded legacy but their reputation as a live act was nothing less than formidable.

Surely it just means the seller is unwilling to drop the price any further. Of course they invariably do ;-)
