i play this in my band...i can quite safely say i play it differently every time.

Most of the Songs off of 'And out come the wolves' by Rancid. In particular 'Journey To the End Of Eastbay' and 'Old Friend'. Love Matt Freemans bass playing.

I love playing in the band im in. It's a covers band and we do a mix of Pop/rock/Soul/Indie/Motown. Im normally a bit of a rocker when it comes to playing but i am relishing the new bass styles im learning. 3 years in this band now and we are doing really well as far as cover bands go. Also, 2 of my best mates are in the band (we've played together in many different bands).

Ok, Ive just had some new PUPs installed on my CIJ 70s RI Precision and i was wondering what the stock pickups are? I vaguely remember reading that they came stock with 62 vintage PUPs but i could be mistaken. any help would be greatly appreaciated as i'd like to put the stock ones up for sale but i cant until i know exactly what they are?

Ok, here are my 2 basses. My 70s RI Olympic White PBass and my Geddy Lee Jazz. [attachment=33049:Boys.jpg] [attachment=33050:PBody.jpg] [attachment=33051:Pall.jpg] [attachment=33052:JBody.jpg] [attachment=33053:Jall.jpg]

Kings of Leon stopped being good when they cut their hair. Fact.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='599045' date='Sep 15 2009, 10:59 AM']Hat's off to you sir for keeping it real. [/quote] It's the truth though. none of this other 'it helps me express my self through my playing' bollocks. When none bass players (and some bass players) go to a show they expect to see Fender and ampeg. all im doing is enhancing their gig going experience hahahahahahah

Ok, Why buy expensive gear? well, i buy expensive (for me) gear for a number of reasons. 1 - Cos i can. I have a decent job and earn a decent wage. I try to buy the best stuff no matter what i am doing. 2 - Cos i know the chances of getting high quality gear when spending a good wad of cash is higher than going for a cheaper alternative. 3 - Cos ive always wanted Fender/ampeg. All my favourite bass players use them and ever since i started playing i always wanted to play Fender basses through Ampeg amplification. Now i do and i love it. 4 - Cos i want people to look at my stuff and think 'that's a nice bass/amp, wish i had that' that is honestly why i buy expensive stuff.

White Jazz...cos it's bloody lovely...that or the P

Ive got a set of pickup/bridge covers on their way to me now. I bought them predominantly because i love how they look.

perhaps you are applying to the wrong type of bands?

i find that people who call others 'noobs' based purely on the length of their strap usually means that in fact 'they' are the noobs

Ok, well, here is me from friday nights gig. Taken by a photographer friend of mine. (Chris Sutherland) Dan

I want it to be the same shade as this: It doesnt nescesseraly need to be the fender one, however it does need to be that colour and have the same amount of holes.

still looking for this just incase

Given we've the Badass thing going on sure we can sort something [/quote] mate, that sounds spot on. drop my a PM and we'll get it sorted

Im having a bit of trouble locating somewhere that sells fender parts. In particular a Precision bass 62 Tortoise Shell Scratchplate. (the dark tortoise shell with the pickup cover holes and the thumb rest holes). the part number is: 0992021000 Link to the fender website is: [url="http://www.fender.co.uk/products//search.php?partno=0992021000"]http://www.fender.co.uk/products//search.p...rtno=0992021000[/url] Ive had one price from a local music store of £53. was hoping to find one cheaper. It MUST be the dark brownish Tortoise shell one.
