Absolute pleasure to deal with you Jamie, enjoy the P. Thanks for everything, deal with utmost confidence folks.

You could measure up and get Roqsolid to do you one. I've used them for years and they are very good. Mind, they are getting a little less competetive price wise, despite their current "sale". Good luck.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1450202762' post='2930519'] I don`t think the sound on some of the clips did you justice. It was good though [/quote] That's really kind timmo, cheers Don't actually know who or how it was recorded, it just kinda appeared. Only sound I could hear on the day was them 4 cabs behind me. Monitors? What monitors

Somebody recorded all our Troyen set at Northumbria Uni, earlier on this year. This track, Futures Friend, although a bit cheesy is my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JicTQrRWlVM Crazy Lady went down really well. Shame, cos I hate it

Good question, to which he replied he liked black

[quote name='Painy' timestamp='1450133949' post='2929994'] Brilliant synopsis of the key eras of the Fender P! It's only in the last couple of years that I've come to appreciate the humble p-bass having spent the best part of 20 years before that deriding them as boring and unsophisticated (even referring to them as scaffolding planks with wires nailed on)! Loving precisions these days of course but a bit late to the party so a reference like this, all in one place, is really interesting and useful, thanks!

You know he's (^^^^) 75 now don't you!

Jaco, to me, did open up a vision of what was possible to achieve on a bass guitar. Perhaps forgotten areas due respect; He must have worked very hard to achieve his dexterity and technique. He must have thought a lot about how he developed that dexterity and technique. There will be yays and nays obviously, but, that is also part of his legacy. One of the two bands I'm in is a covers band. I use the first minute or so of Blackbird as a bass intro to Doctor Doctor . Don't really know what that says, but personally I am hugely grateful that I HAD THE CHOICE to listen to Jaco.

Many thanks for that Superb 8 string you built there

Unfortunately Eternashine recommend not to use on nitro Anybody recommend a body shop in Wigan/surrounds that can do this sort of stuff?

Others have said it as well. Lovely bass but I couldn't live with that headstock.

Thanks guys, more food for thought

That is brilliant Gary, many many thanks Looking at that, it's sandpaper that is causing the issue on the finish. Going to get some order. Thanks so much fella cheers, Karl.

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1449749014' post='2926439'] I was gonna say that you could turn it into one of them comic book basses. The basschattts who did them did a good job , for not much cash iirc;) Have a bump anyway [/quote] I don't know, you Syrian refugees with your free coffees and radical ideas (Calm down, it's a reference to another post RATM made )

Thanks for looking folks. I recently bought an AV57RI for £730 plus deliv, cheap because; A. Raised A pole pick up had been replaced with one of them EMG Geezer Butler non solder jobs. B. The guy had "refinished" it black. By his own comment, it wasn't great. Now, the A pole job, well quite a few folk have replaced them pups for different reasons, so, no biggie. The paint job, however, he said he'd intended T cut then lacquer over the top. After one gig I decided it wasn't for me so I put it up for sale at a slight loss. Needless to say, it isn't selling, neither is the other bass I have up. SO.................... Thought I'd ask for some advice on here, as if no basses go, I can't really afford £300+ for a pro strip/refin. It looks a little matt black where it's had some fore arm wear, the nitro black is not covered and has myriads of sort of scratches. The two pictures are about as good as somebody with my photographic skills (none) will get. Thanks in advance for any advice, cheers, Karl.
