    You definitely need to include a few "classic line up" Motorhead songs.

    Swoon

    Too far for me unfortunately, GLWTS.

    RIP Fast Eddie, real shame. Sad day. ☹

    You just have to watch some of the performances, especially the live footage, to see that without Noel, everything would have descended into chaos very quickly with the guitar & drums going off in all directions, it was Noel that kept them "on track".

    Nothing wrong with 'cheap' strings, and the Fender 7250's & 7350's are pretty good IMO
  7. Skybone
    Typical, I just bought one.

    The other one's the Kestrel (jazz pickups & a scratchplate). They do look great.

    Nice catch.

    I can see this thread going on for ages...

    Was the Squier new or second hand? If it was new, then the strings will have been Fender brand strings. Either 7250m/ml (nickel wound) or 7350m (stainless steel). If you shop around, you can get them for less than £14 a set. I really like the 7350's, and they're reasonably priced, sound good and last well.

    IMO, horses for courses. Some basses & guitars suit gold hardware, some suit black or matt hardware, like others suit chrome hardware. Some suit solid colours, some suit natural finishes, and some even suit uber fancy furniture grade wood finishes. Some spend thousands on an instrument, others spend only hundreds. Variety is the spice of life. Must admit, I'm not a fan of gold hardware & overly fancy timbers (though I do like a nice, understated spalt/burl/flame/etc.).

    But not quite as cheap second hand
  15. Skybone
    Some would be nice

    Although the Hartke HA3500 is an old amp, it's definitely a good one to go for, as you'll find good ones on the second hand market.

    Haven't they been toeing the line for some years now, especially after some of their wood stocks were seized by the Authorities.

    Shouldn't this be in the Effects section?

    At the moment, I'm not ruling anything out! However... after many years of playing only active's of numerous brands, I realised that I was unhappy with the sound of all but 2 of them. Switched back to passive's, and have no intention to return. I did own a G&L L2000 Tribute relatively recently, lovely bass to play, but couldn't get it to sound "right" for me. Never had a hankering for a bass with more than 4 strings either.

    Thankfully, I've never had it quite as bad as the Dom, but I certainly noticed my finger tips peeling like mad when I used nickel wound strings. Changed to stainless steel, and never had a problem since.

    A couple of the narrow roller banners, either side of the stage would be pretty cool. https://www.rollerbannersuk.com/premium-roller-banner/

    One thing I did find with my last band, was that no one wanted to buy demo's, but they bought band merchandise. In fact, we made more from selling merchandise than anything else. Gigs didn't pay well (if at all), even low priced demo CD's didn't sell well (though we did shift quite a few at gigs). It is definitely worthwhile getting a batch of 100 t-shirts printed up to take to gigs, as well as a bunch of demo CD's.

    One of the main reasons IMO, is that if you're a 4 string player, you don't have to 'get used to' the extra neck width of a 5 string. Another reason is that if you have more than one bass at your disposal, then you can save yourself the expense (and hassle) of finding another bass that you need to get used to. New strings are cheaper than new basses.

    Pictures?

    Glued in necks are usually known as set necks
