Small bar in Rugby called London's Calling. Very hot. Steps down to cellar to store flights cases etc, steps back up. Get the picture? We stepped in to replace a Buzzcocks tribute band. Very last minute so not exactly what people were expecting. Played an hour's set of soundscapey all original progressive rock sounds which worked in some parts with the audience and not in others. Came off thinking it was 'one of them', but the gaffer asked us to do another 20 minutes - probs wanted his money's worth [size=4] [/size][size=4] We decided to christen our newest tune, a 20 minute semi-improvised classic called 'He Is The King Of The Tenuous Link'[/size] [size=4] :PGot the best reception of the night. Perhaps we'd convinced them by then that we really weren't a Buzzcocks tribute band. [/size][size=4] [/size][size=4]Gigged a 5 string for the first time - altho realised just adapting songs written on a 4 string is a bit pointless. Need to use it from scratch on new stuff and incorporate it that way.[/size] [size=4]Liverpool tonight at The Lomax.[/size]

Bryan is a top man! I bought a bass completely with his trust in me - as I was driving back from the South West and passing his manor, he was happy for me to pop in - take the bass, and pay him via Paypal later. What a pleasure to deal with, (and of course I paid him!! )[size=4] [/size] Thanks Bryan

You can hear my fretted Pro on track four of my band's ep here: thoseamongstusarewolves.bandcamp.com [i](also why not purchase a download now you know where it is)[/i] [size=4] [/size] Pick up setting selection is in Series, DI to desk, and then re-amped through TC rig No idea if that's a 'typical' Wal sound, but it's beefy and growly.

[color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=4]This is a used Made in Mexico Fender P bass - it's from the California series they did some years ago. Altho there is some snobbery, there are some excellent instruments made outside the US. This is one of them. It has a sweet and straight neck with no sharp fret edges. All the wiring works good and it has a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pick up in it - which is a result! It's great for rocking out, or softer stuff. It sounds both thumpy, as a P does, but you also can play nice grooves on it.

Please note, I DON'T mean damage to the headstock, just the decal - where a previous owner had scratched away at it. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=4]A fetching mint green against a white pickguard makes it a handsome thing [/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=4]You are welcome to come and try it out.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Will post at buyer's cost.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#666666][font=verdana, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Edited to add SD pick up info.[/size][/font][/color]

The abridged version : Situationists[color=#37281C] believed that advanced capitalism bred dissatisfaction and thus human desire needed to be fulfilled by finding alternatives to capitalist society. They suggested for this the construction of situations, through the avant-garde, art, psychogeography and urbanism"...and music I guess [/color] [color=#37281C]I'm just saying. Dunno I'm that convinced [/color]

A socio-political angle also perhaps. Aside from its obvious DIY three chord attack on indulgence, complacency and bandstanding, punk has often been connected to the Situationists movement. See here for Situationism http://louderthanwar.com/situationism-explained-affect-punk-pop-culture/

Jigster replied to customstocker's topic in Basses For Sale
What makes you think it's been overhauled? Do you mean altered, re-finished, in some way? -
Hollyoaks is where it's at for new music! Period.
Jigster replied to Jigster's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the thanks. Now for Corrie.... -
Okay listen up, so Channel 4's Hollyoaks is the new epi centre of cutting edge post rock soundtracking. The first track of my band's new ep [url="http://thoseamongstusarewolves.bandcamp.com/"]http://thoseamongstu...s.bandcamp.com/[/url] was used in tonight's[size=4] opening sequence.[/size] [size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size]

Thanks guys

A quicky - (ooh er [size=4] )....Am I right to assume that the Badass suits a Fender P as a direct replacement?[/size] [size=4]Don't know why, but I've only ever seen them on Jazz basses[/size] [size=4]#Sheltered life?[/size] Thanks

I always have a post gig snack ritual - on the drive home, load up with crisps, chocs, radio on, and scoff out. Me time [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Is that one of the jazzes made with the all inone pick guard as opposed to the seperate pickguard/chrome control panel?[/size]
-
I believe Nordstrand's are pretty much a direct replacement? Have seen a few 55-01's on the forum modded with with Big Splits, or were they Big Singles ? Have a look at their site http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pickups/index.shtml

How's the neck dive? If any? [size=4] [/size] -
[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1369673328' post='2091455'] Very roughly - £500 for the bass, £100 for express delivery and £140 for VAT and Duty. That's against £1,200 for a new USA standard - absolutely no contest to me. [/quote] Thanks Steve - very interesting *strokes chin*
-
Lovely thing. Be interested to know what the import duties and shipping costs add to the price.

Clarky - STOP posting this, I can't play fretless for God's sake but the voice in my head tells me I need it! BUMP

About 48 minutes in, lovely jazz bass tone. I really like this band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0O5YgTFE68
