It has a touch of the "who are you" about it.[/quote] There's a thought, matching shirt and scratchplate Karl.

I'm still smirking about the J.Arthur Rank. Thought I was the only one old enough to remember that one. Karl. PS, Mart. Thanks very much for the full version of God gave Rock and Roll to you. Argent In Deep, fantastic album, sadly long gone the with 300 plus other big bits of vinyl. How could I have been so stupid?

Sheehan for me. I will get one, I will get one........................... Karl.

Insane then. Thanks for the vote of confidence chaps Karl. I am the bastard offspring of Gok and Betty (yeah, allright they would have had to travel back in time, don't get picky!)

Well, am I? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190477741175&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Karl.

[quote name='Soloshchenko' post='1056258' date='Dec 12 2010, 05:56 PM']Christmas is always a great time to buy bass stuff of t'bay. I got a cool precision bass body for £6.50 yesterday. £6.50! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230560469826&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123"]body[/url][/quote] Now that's a result, nice one Karl.

Thanks for all that lads. Went to my ma's yesterday am, just got back. Missed all this, the student stuff, the swearing stuff. Can't miss a day here can you The Aria member Ash has up is very tempting, but even at £300 cash picked up, I would have to spend somewhere £20/£50 to get the electrics sorted. Cos I'm thick and even the drummer won't let me near anything technical! As has been pointed out, it's a bolt on and it seems a lot of things are proving hard to sell, so I might give it some time. Ebay in last couple days, virtually perfect 2008 (latest model) USA P, case and candy, £500 start, no bids at end. 6 string Petrucci Yamaha sig bass, immaculate, sold for £500. Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1054409' date='Dec 10 2010, 07:22 PM']Have we seen this one before? At this price? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Lawsuit-4000-Bass-Guitar-70s-MIJ-Matumoku-Rare-/140488774911?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item20b5c894ff"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aria-Lawsuit-4000-Ba...=item20b5c894ff[/url] I'm impressed to see that it's a "law-suit" model, so presumably they've also managed to infringe Gibson's copyright ...[/quote] I would have a go for this as it's only 30 ish miles from me, and I have the gig money saved,however; 1. It's more than I am prepared to pay for a bolt on (£350 max). 2. It needs electrical work doing. I am stupid and would need to get that done professionally. Nice looking bass though. Karl.

I have a Non Export 70's re-issue P, which I assume to be basswood. Superb thump(especially with flats) and very light. Semi hollow body things (Ibby, Aria, Godin, Epiphone etc, extremely light). Sure some of the guys close would let you try their light basses (have I spelt "their" right?, I'm getting paranoid now). Good luck, Karl.

Had one or two nice comments over the years, most memorable? Supporting King Crabs, 1979, their bass player came over after our set and said, "wey ye play a lotta notes ye bonny lad", which I took as a complement. Big, slightly scary guy called Jimmy Nail! Vic Reeves (Rod Moir to me) in his auto-biography, page 243 or 247 I think " probably the best bass player in Darlington was Karl Altdorfer with his Red Indian looks and raw Rickenbacker (er, Kasuga actually). Don't actually have the book, but my mother has. What was really nicefor me was firstly he remembered me, and amazingly my name was spelt correctly. I have trouble with it at times Karl.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='1051390' date='Dec 8 2010, 10:00 AM']There's a short (only 10 minutes!) compilation of excerpts on my band's [url="http://www.myspace.com/maya29band"]Myspace[/url]. Technically the album's not finished yet - my programming & cack-handed 6-stringery need to be replaced by a proper drummer & guitarist, and there are still some song-linking narrative/atmospheric parts to be finalised. But hell might freeze over before that happens - which appears to be the nature of relying on other people. J.[/quote] Nice, and the photo's are nowt like the one's of you on Crime Watch Karl.

Ye Gods, just scared mesel (sorry, my self). Had a flashback, stairs, half way up from groundfloor, on the landing. Fire extinguisher set off at Captain Beefheart gig. Accident, honest. City Hall, heartbreaking yet joyous site for an exile. Cheers WoT, turned a sh***y Monday round Karl.

Cheers again J, getting my annual 'Faker withdrawal symptoms. Karl.

Late again. I was going to suggest you shake him warmly by the throat whilst explaining your concerns. Looks liked you've lobbed him into the canal anyway, so, enjoy. Karl.

Nice one WoT. As a kid in the early 70's watching the likes of Sabbath, Heap,Zepp, Purple, Lindisfarne, 10cc etc on that stage, always dreamed of playing it. Never did, although played Middlesbrough Town Hall, Hartlepool Town Hall amongst many other gigs. Power to you for just gracing that mystical stage. All the best mate, Karl.

Seem to remember the review in Bassist was quite good although they did seem to think they were pricey. Karl.

Comments gentlemen please? I feel a weakness coming on. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270675481604&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] Cheers, Karl.

I hope the Futurama basses are better than the original 60's ones. My 1st bass (Christmas '74) was a 2nd hand Futurama loosely based on a Jazz. Cost £10. Pure sh*te! Karl. Ah, that's how the naughty word editor works

I used to do it and worked around this as the basis; DD (Octave)D A CC (Octave)C G GG (Octave)G D CDFGFDC repeat backed it off for the quieter bits. Good luck with your interpretation, Karl.
