Very similar to Klause Floride's bass. I think his was a different colour but I like the matching headstock.

Just think what the final value fee will be.

I was f***ing shocked £750 I sold the ray for, got stung £25 ish by paypal then today I find £30 ebay final value fee what a bunch of c**ts. Now I don't like using that word but thats what they are, I will not be selling anything but tat on there from now on.

Hmmm nice bass. I had an old 78 P that was similar in colour, perhaps more banana yellow.

Have you tried looking for a new active circuit for the bass? I don't know what the controls are on a P'bass special so can't really suggest any. It also depends on how much you have/want to spend.

My GAS has disapeared since buying the Warwick. It feels great to play and has sutch a variety of tone. I also have a bit of a Jazz bass project going on which is keeping me occupied.

Nice bass, I used to have a metallic pink BC in about 92, I didn't know which model it was though.

The D'addario myth probably comes from the coloured ball ends.

I have a leather strap that is about 3 inches wide I got off ebay for about a tenner. Best strap I have ever had, I'll be getting another soon.

Is the active circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB), if it is you can have another one made and either transfer the components over yourself or get it done for you. A quick google or look in your phone book should find something. How bad is it broken?

I'm glad no one has mentioned my bass or I would get paranoid and have to start sleeping with it handcuffed to my right leg (again).

My problem is that I like too many styles/era's of music and want to play them all. I would either have to play in about 20 bands or find other musicians who have the same idea or are very understanding. I won't bore everyone with a long list but lets say it ranges from Buddy Holly to The Dead Kennedys and beyond.

There is a cd set you can get, a friend of mine has it but I can't remember what it's called. It has studio tracks on it, before they were all mixed. Some sound better than the final mixes IMO.

Wolverhampton, ah Bostin

The 5 string sets I bought for my Yamaha (now sold on) were fine. I can't remember which ebay member I bought them off but they took nearly a month to get to me. I will probably end up getting some 4 string sets.

I have some ER20's, they are loads better than the disposable ones which seem to block out everything. I can still hear the snare and vocals and can feel the bass through the floor. I went to a AC/DC tribute gig a few months ago and came away with a ringing in my right ear (forgot to take the plugs).

Here is me and the Granddaughter taken last christmas.

Thin Lizzy had the right Idea with 2 guitarists with one playing off the other. Any more that 2 and your off into folk territory, and thats only so you can't tell who's pissed.

And this drove me nuts. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G55eY8oD730"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G55eY8oD730[/url] It reminds me of the time I gave my son a harmonica and he just breathed in and out through it all day.

See how long you can listen to this for [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLhRB4dJJI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdLhRB4dJJI[/url] I rest my case m'lud

And in response to "can I call for the bass and pay cash when it arrives"

"unfortunately not as the one in the pic is mine,once i recieve your payment via paypal i then order yours from my supplier in the us which accounts for the 14-21 days delivery! but you can pick it up once it is here but your payment must be paid first within 3 days after auction ends"

Seaham is just up the road from me (well up the A19). If I could be arsed (which I can't), I could suggest to the seller that I go and see their bass (if they really have it) and buy their's and they have the other one when/if it arrives.

I've got a whole set of blues to learn (about 20 songs, maybe more). Last night I worked out Catwalk Woman the Chris Rea version (if there is any other version?).

Guitarists are a funny breed, some of them expect other band members to be mind readres. Have you asked them what exactly it is they want?

Oddly enough the guitarist /singer in the band I'm in came out with something similar a few weeks ago. It was directed at me and the drummer, we asked him what we were doing wrong to which he answered "I don't know" hence we got nowhere.

I think I've seen it before a few months back.

I like the Rimini and the maranello basses. I havn't actually played one yet so can't comment on sound etc. I didn't think Nicky Wire sounded too bad all things considered. As for trying stuff in shops I tried a Jet King at a local shop and it sounded pants, that said they only had little 20w practice amps to try stuff through.

Similar body shape as the Lakland or the Ibanez RD.

Nice, I like natural finish basses.
