[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1351357085' post='1850520'] Just went out and got one. Definitely worth £2.99. Let's just hope the bottle of vino tinto I picked up for £3.99 is equally serviceable. [/quote] now you're dreaming!

You wont go wrong with the Legacy's, Remember to get some isoproyl (?) cleaner as well, they'll last much longer with a wipe down after every session

sound to light = school disco =bad! slow to fade = classy = good!

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1350821875' post='1843788'] It went for £488! I think they played a shrewd auction with this one, I hope whoever gets it isn't disappointed. I bought a mint one last year for less than that which I sold on.....for less than that. [/quote] Pls let me know when that happens again!

[list] [*]still £205, 22 hours to go! [/list]

[quote name='4StringFortress' timestamp='1350721301' post='1842590'] That's cool man how long do they normally last you? [/quote] , i change em every three months or so when we're gigging once a week and rehersing once a week plus a few hours tooling about at home. I guess they last as long as you want them to (ie some people like thier stringers a bit duller) but i reckon every 3 months is about right for me (i also wipe em down after every sesh with Isoproanol - this deffo helps!)

Some red wines really make me talk a lot of sh*t. ah.. a fellow bullsh*tter after too much vino, I salute you brother!

i use strings direct's own brand (Legacy) nickels cos a) theyre 8 quid a set not as harsh (some say zingy) as steels c) some say they're actually unbranded roto's d) they sound fine and can be replaced regularly without breaking the bank.

great but since when was using flats taking the piss? seriously keep it going, next thing you'll be getting paid for it!

its sooo tempting but Ricks fine 59 isnt sure about the body......?

barefaced and thunderfunk, simples!

thats cos it aint balck and it aint graphite!

would be quite interesting if anyone on BC actually [b]wasn't [/b]watching it

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1350654691' post='1841849'] Oooooh I have a pair of early 80's Precision pickups that would sound real dandy in this little honey. [/quote] PERV !!!!!

well i got my JV P from Ash and an amazing bass it is too, however i have taken out the pots and replaced them with something from John (cant remember his basschat name! - Kilogon?) and also the origional P pup and put in SD quarter pounders. So I have the origional 82/3 pups and electrics sitting in the back of a drawer somewhere! So, forgetting about value, it might be worth a punt for the neck and body and poping in my gear? Really fancy a "sort of" genuine JV...

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1350585721' post='1840971'] the plonker says it's worth 900-1000... with no pups or electrics.... having tried to sell one of these.... but a first edition, with all the parts.... I think that may be a bit high a guess! [/quote] yeah be interesting to see how high it goes, 400 would be my guess, and thats overpriced IMO. Out of interest, would putting in origional pups and electrics (guess who has some! make a difference to the value?

no lectrics or pups mind....

Some plonker told the seller what this was! Could have been the bargain of the year! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300795572455#description"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...455#description[/url]

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1350236841' post='1836145'] As I said a few pages ago. It isn't. It's not a free competitive market. There are some bands out there whose members earn enough doing other things that they have no intention of ever getting paid. You can't compete with that, no matter how you try. When a guy earning £30k+ in his office job 9-5 can afford to buy whatever PA, lighting, drum, guitar he wants. What can you do as a musician that's better? That the public will notice. Some of these guys are incredibly good. [/quote] ive yet to meet a "free" band thats sh*t hot, week in, week out and if they were trhat good, wouldn't realise it and start demanding a fee for thier services, thats just fantasy IMO

Last Night 3 hours driving 2 hours set up, take down 2 hours playing £80 each £20 petrol £60 for 7 hours on a saturday night £8.57 per hour Bar staff? Prob 6/7 per hour (depending on age) Better than playing for free or working behind a bar but wouldnt give up the day job!!

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1350044663' post='1833922'] i am a zeppelin nut!! but I am glad they did not reform for a tour. Why?, because Bonzo's not around of course. That's why they split up in the first place, no Bonzo-no Zeppelin. looking forward to the DVD. I have seen a bootleg version and though Jason does a good job, He's no Bonzo. I reckon Plant would struggle with a full blown tour, as his voice is not what it used to be (just ask Ian Gillan). So IMO leave well enough alone and protect the legacy. [/quote] This exactly. When i hear Plants voice on (the first 5 albums especially) and when i hear it now, it would be heartbreaking to hear him try those songs at this point in time. His voice is nothing like it used to be (like Gillans - terrible), leave well alone, and remember them in their prime.

Hi i was wondering if you could be a little more specific about the painting? thanks... couldnt resist asking the question....
