Looks like a beautiful neck! Shame about that inlay! Si

[quote name='The Funk' post='39577' date='Jul 31 2007, 04:12 PM']The sad thing is that I'd buy it if it was a bass/guitar twin neck.[/quote] Lame (this thread is probabely much more humorous to me because i'm hearing Cartman saying my responses lol)

It happens! Believe me! Si

Bunny are at Fringe Festival Meadows on 12th August if anyone's interested. If you see them, say Hi to Miles the guitarist from Simon, his bass player lol [url="http://www.myspace.com/bunnymusicuk"]http://www.myspace.com/bunnymusicuk[/url] Si

GAS UPDATE : '69-'73 Sunburst Jazz .......still Lakland DJ 4 Maple Neck Spare amp head, A Markbass perhaps Ashdown 8x10 or Ampeg 6x10 HLF + Plus the car space/roadies! Si

[quote name='Hamster' post='39451' date='Jul 31 2007, 11:55 AM']Why stop there? - there's clearly room for another neck between the other two! Hamster[/quote] super gay

Looks like great stuff to me! I remember seeing the adverts in Bass Player A read of their History is a positive step as well. I quite like the look actually, a bit different, but not too 'Boutique'. The JT400-M and JT400-JJ interest me! Si

Like some other members, i go to great lengths to keep my strings bright, PA's and Rooms always deaden your sound. Make sure my hands are clean before i play, rub down my strings after each gig/set......... Just don't do any of that! :-D Si

I'm not sure about this double thumbing, its kinda cool as a solo device i guess, but in the context of a band, its kinda pointless, just makes the drums sound to busy! I'm not a fan of Bill Dickens! The start of that video isn't, IMHO, music. And his 'practice regime' kinda highlights that, "you can't hear any notes but you're strengthening your hands", i dunno just isn't for me. Marcus Miller on the other hand, quality! Like was mentioned above, tasteful with a real sense of melody! Si

I've had my EVO II ABM 500 for 4 years now and it hasn't let me down once!!! The worst problems I've had are the mute button falling off, (Ashdown sent me a loada spares FOC), and recently the VU meter bulb went (again Ashdown sent me two replacement bulbs FOC), not bad for 3 - 4 gigs a week!! Si

Good call!!! :-D Si

A very good guitarist friend of mine is playing with a band called 'Bunny' at the festival.......i got no details lol. But if you see posters/adverts for it, go along, great guitarist, and really good songs!! Si

Mine is straight from Fender, i was working for a music shop at the time so managed to blag it for free. For some reason Fender spares/accessories are over the top expensive, i ordered the '62 Tort scratchplate and on the invoice it said something like £45. But yeah....free lol I had to shave it a tiny bit to fit around the control plate, my bass obviously not being a '62, apart from that its perfect. Si

The Bass Gallery in Camden did a de-fret on a 5 string i had a few years ago for £50 with maple slip fret lines. Not sure what they're prices are now, check their website, but you shouldn't pay anything more then that i reckon. If you want an unlined fretless fingerboard then you would have to have a replacement fingerboard built, i had a quote from a luthier of £250 for a new fingerboard, but that was fretted, so unlined fretless would probly be less. Having said that, i guess you could just get the Luthier to put the same wood fret lines as the fingerboard and the lines would be less obvious. Si

Well, just remember...Equal Rights! :-D haha i jest of course! or do i?? yeah i do.!!!!!!!! ..... but do i really?? DUH DUH DUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH Si

Heres an action pic of the Tort s'plate Looks much nicer then the white plate, IMO white only looks good when its aged and 'vintage', so basically not white haha [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] Would look cool with a black s'plate to i reckon! Si

I can't recommend the USA Standards with S1 enough, mine is fantastic and a lot of people seem to be loving them at the moment! You can pick them up second hand for under £600 easily!!! Strangely i've never tried a Lakland but look forward to giving OBBM's a go at the SouthEast BassBash Cool Si p.s. and yeah, warwickhunt's Re-Issue is particually sexy!!

Fantastic Jazz, basically the same as mine but i added a tort s'plate. Wouldn't swap it for anything at the moment . Fender seem to have hit the mark with that particular line! Just got a Jazz Deluxe, but already i'm thinking that one of these Standards with a J-retro would whip its ass! Good call! Si
