Ok, so this is getting resurrected.....why? COS IT'S FINISHED! I kept it quiet, but since the unfortunate troubles with the original neck that Ian (Chopthebass) built for me, I commisioned Mr Shuker to build me a neck. I guess this was around 2 months ago, and I went to pick it up it up yesterday. Jon was very helpful and I'm so grateful that he could finish it in time for my tour that starts this weekend! Here's the spec: One piece Rock Maple neck 2 Carbon reinforcement bars 21 frets Birdseye Maple fingerboard Black fingerboard binding No inlays on fingerboard facing I'll get some photos up ASAP It has its first rehearsal tomorrow, and then straight out on tour on saturday!! Gonna be immense! Si

Am quite interested in how the LG1000 performs at 4ohms!? Si

Hi all, am posting this for a very good friend of mine, so if you're interested, PM me and I'll send you his contact details! "[b]Bassist Wanted Established musicians require bassist for newly formed function / covers band Committed and competent bass player required with all relevant playing / live experience to cover a wide variety of songs / artists and genres for private parties / clubs / weddings and other corporate events. Singing abilities advantageous. Own gear and transport a must. For more information please email[/b]" Again, this is for Nottingham and the surrounding areas, I don't think there's an age limit, although I believe that the other guys in the band are around 22-28. Thanks all! Si

Yup, out playing covers in Ealing tonight! And a lovely band meal before hand, perfec! Si

How much would postage be on one or both of them mate? Cheers Si

I've just gotten hold of one and will use it heavily live and in the studio! My choice was based on getting a very enjoyable sound from the 3 channel programmable version on my bands album, but not needing the 3 channels, plumped for the standard DI. Live it also means I can send the exact sound I used on the album pretty much, to the FOH, and my onstage EQ is just from my rig. Oh and it means I'm still sending a signal to FOH if my head breaks down Si

I've just got hold of a sansamp and am wanting to purchase a mains power supply for it. Seeing as there is no Tech 21 uk power supplies, what are you guys using to power your sansamps? Cheers Si

Still loving this!! And the new tuners look buff! My bronco is gonna be my new years project, Although I'm also thinking I might refinish it, Red isn't the easiest colour to work with when you're trying to get something looking classy lol Si

Could well have been a Japanese Squier! Hmmm, hope it's still in the BC fold, rather liked it! Si

Well, a few months back, 6 maybe, someone was selling a fretless jazz bass.....pretty sure it was fretless! IIRC it was a fender...possibly Japanese, but had a refinished body, in BLUE BURST..yum So thats blue on the outside going to white in the middle! I'm pretty sure it was in the 'for sale' section! I just really liked it and wouldn't mind seeing it again haha, and who knows, if it were to come up for sale again..... :-P Thanks Si

I like those hipshot o-rings! Great work so far mate! Si

[quote name='99ster' post='352836' date='Dec 12 2008, 03:51 PM']'I'm living in Aberdeen at the moment - but if you send me payment by Western Union I'll send the bass to you straight away - with free shipping' [/quote] Is that something he emailed you? I haven't heard anything back! Si

I've been playing around 9 years now I think, and I started going 'back' to fenders about 3 years ago. Then I stepped up about 6 months ago and purchased my 1973 Jazz, tis a beauty of a bass and did what I thought was the impossible and knocked my standard US jazz off it's number one slot! Warwicks, Laklands (44-02D), Yamaha have all come and gone. I wouldn't rule out Lakland again though, but one of the more simpler Fender copies, so that still counts lol, didn't get on with their active stuff......too polite! So now I've got 2 Jazzes, a parts Precision and my active 'ThingRay' bass is soon being replaced by another custom/parts passive Jazz Lovely stuff! Si

Ultralites only take one screw to affix! So it's safe to say that they won't lineup with the current tuner screw holes! Four more holes won't hurt though, go for it! Remember to get the normal peg sizes though, as you can get Ultralites in a smaller peg size that will be too small for your headstock Si

Ummm, how about everyone playing because they enjoy playing and the interaction with others? I play originals and covers, bot bands I enjoy immensely! I've played in covers and originals bands before that I didn't enjoy at all, so I stopped, but those instances are few and far between, and live situation is generally fun and challenging, its what you make it! If music isn't paying your rent, but you're enjoying what you're doing......get a job! If music is paying, but you hate it.....you'll just end up resenting it Si

I've asked for photos, including neck stamps and pickup cavity etc etc We'll see what turns up! Si
