I don't know who anton Newcombe is , but after that remark I know what he is and that's a first class ****.

I loved the Punk era for the music , so that's what it meant to me - more great music to listen to . I was 17 at the time into Quo , Lizzy , SAHB , Sabbath , Zeppelin etc etc . I still had fairly long hair , wore jeans & t- shirts , trainers , the whole safety pin biz / bondage gear meant nothing to me , it just seemed like fancy dress !

Aha ! Thanks everybody , checking out yon't cables 'n' wires as we speak .....

This may warrant me a clip round the ear but who is OBBM ?

One of my faves is definitely is the solo at the end of Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers ( Ernie Isley I think ) . Superb .

Chris Glen / Ted McKenna - SAHB

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1358534503' post='1941110'] This is my very modified Squier VM Jaguar. At some stage I'll upgrade the electrics to match the looks Underneath all the pazzaz is a modest, starter bass but, stripped and veneered, it looks a million dollars and is great to play. Trimming the carbon fibre on the pickguard was challenging - thousands of tiny, highly conductive fibres just where the electrics are... ...one lives and learns [/quote] That is a thing of beauty , well done mate !

I don't know if it's my favourite , but I've loved Eight Line Poem from Bowies Hunky Dory album since I first heard it in 1973 . It's Mick Ronson at his absolute beautiful , tasteful best ....unfortunately I don't know how to upload any vid that there might be around ...if some kind soul could do the honours , I'd be eternally grateful ...plus you'd be doing a public service !

Wizard Pickups have just started selling a pickup for a Musicmaster , might be worth a shot ?

[quote name='Minty' timestamp='1364403138' post='2026029'] Here's my '61 Jazz replica I made out of Fender parts... 80's Japanese Fender E-series body, routed for P-bass pickup in the neck. Fender MIM Jazz neck refinished in nitro. Wizard Big P/J pickups. Tuning pegs and control plate from a '62 American Reissue. Gotoh 201b bridge plate and Gotoh 203b saddles. [/quote] That's bloody lovely . I don't have a Jazz Bass , but I want a beaten up Bass and that wee beauty would definitely fit the bill ! Very nice indeed !

I love short scales , even though I sold both my 65 reissue Jap Mustang and my white SG (pics still on here somewhere ) in order to buy a Shuker . I still have a hankering for the new White , Pawn Shop Mustang ! I'm sure I've recently seen the Jap on sale for about £760 ! Mine cost me £400 (I think) in 2006 . Just checked £739 at Thomann !!!!!

Cheers for your input everyone , I'll get looking !

Anyone know where the best place for Bass tabs is or are please . Short , sharp rock songs are the order of the day ! Cheers in advance !

I've just checked Warwickhunt ,you're right it is a Star bass 2 . Absolutely beautiful striped wood , semi hollow , limited edition I think .

I've just got my copy of BGM and there's a shot of Guy Pratt with a beautiful Warwick bass , does anyone know what model it is ?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1360269189' post='1967911'] I haven't heard those words for a while! a couple of my bandmates are into wrestling and one does jiu jitsu... and I nearly convinced them to try judo, so that I'd have an excuse to go back to it. [/quote] It's a great sport , very addictive and my 1st love really , but after nearly 30 years (25 as a coach ) I gave it up last year . And if it it comes to handbags with you know who , I know where my money's going ! Superb post by the way .

Mcnach gets my vote cos he's a judo man ! Me too - rei ... ! And soon it could well be - Hajime !

The Royal Scam - Steely Dan One of my favourite albums by anyone ever ! Paranoid - Black Sabbath Fire & Water - Free It's what I aspire to anyway ....
