Great part, one of my favourite MK fingerstyle lines, the kind of line that people generally don't give him kudos for. Don't know about tab, but I'm pretty sure there's some live versions on YouTube.

Got a 310 for sale but they're four string, not five...

[quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1406532813' post='2512095'] 'The New Mastersounds' are doing it for me [/quote]Thank you. Now slightly obsessed with this band already. The Bear Creek 2011 gig on YouTube is excellent.

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1406405747' post='2511315'] Modern UK Jazz Funk is better for me. [/quote] Point me in the direction of some!

Jamiroquai's "The Return Of The Space Cowboy". Their best by a mile, and Stuart Zender's masterpiece. That intro to "Manifest Destiny".....

[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1406234758' post='2509712'] I had exactly the same problem, and resolved it with a Tonerider from Amazon - £35 delivered. Much better tone and responds well to the tone control. Flatwound strings are also a must for a proper pre-CBS tone. [/quote]+1 for the Toneriders. Adding a J pup to my P-bass plus a KiOgon loom. Watch this space...

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1405706372' post='2504592'] They may well be in a function band and getting £1500-2000 for a wedding and if they do that pretty regularly, they are possibly on course for £15-20k p.a... [/quote] £1500 for a wedding gig?? I wish...

So who here does? I would imagine that those of you that are professional musicians are earning by playing originals/sessions/both (if I'm not being too presumptious..) but does anyone make a living playing covers exclusively? Or is it just not possible?

10/10 for me. Guessed the Warpaint one and only got The Kinks coz I recognised the drummer and not the bassist...

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1404998527' post='2497707'] I used to know their sister, she would always be trying to get me drunk. True story. [/quote]You really need to elaborate on this...

For any recent converts check out Interstate Love Song, Atlanta, Ride The Cliché and Art School Girl. Impeccable.

Yep, that's the one, thanks for putting that up. I think it's my laptop stopping me from pasting links. As you were...

The vid is Stone Temple Pilots - Trippin' On A Hole In A Paper Heart (isolated rhythm section) but for some reason my effing laptop is not allowing me to post it from youtube (nor can I paste links into my posts...) Whatever - youtube it and enjoy guys.

What's happened to the video then? Ahh forget it, delete thread please...

Found this earlier, what a tight player. Always loved his playing and tone, great melodic lines and sense of space. If I could be half as inventive as him I'd be happy. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8yrUo3wliw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8yrUo3wliw[/url]

+1 for Our Lady Peace. Naveed is in my top 10.

He did me a 4-ply tort P guard for £20 a couple of years back.

Just been browsing, saw this: [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOD-FX62-Bass-Stereo-Chorus-Vintage-Bass-Pedal-/170727370622"]http://www.ebay.com/...l-/170727370622[/url] $140 is equivalent to about £82. Mine is now for sale, if anyone is prepared to pay that much for one...

I'd have one like a shot. Schecter have an excellent reputation for their QC, and I'd choose this over a MIM Fender any day.

I have a MK1 MB210 combo with a metal grille but I want to replace the grille with one from a MK2 combo (cloth) to match my 210 extension cab. Can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where to source these from? GK themselves don't sell them as a replacement item, although I would have thought they'd be one of the things that gets damaged frequently... Anyone got any ideas?

Beautiful, as always.

Thanks chaps. There are no luthiers as such down here (I'm on the Isle of Wight) but there are a number of repairers/techs who should be able to do the routing for me - that's something I'm not going to attempt, not even on a VM Squier.

I have someone to do the routing for me, it's more a question of which parts to buy. I already have a pickup, just need to choose the pot and jack socket.

Hi all, I'm going to get a jazz pickup (bridge) installed on my P-bass and was just wondering if anyone had any advice/recommendations for a pot and (side-mount) jack socket with plate. I know nothing about these things, so feel free to fill my head with info... Fanx.

What happens to your basses once you've finished them? Are you making them for clients or do you keep them for yourself? You've said before that you're not a luthier by profession so I'm assuming you have a stash of these beautiful instruments at home....
