So many to choose from. These will do for starters. [media]http://youtu.be/T8qoTE5AULM[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/ekcc2L9E_hc[/media]

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1460822049' post='3029106'] This is my bitsa, I started off as wanting a cheap jazz ended up with Wizard 84`s, Hipshot bridge, Fender tuners and a John East preamp off Neil Murray! I can honestly say I will never part with it. It needs a better plate though.

This is my bitsa P. A solid no-name body with a Squier Jazz neck, Wilko pickup and EMG 2 band eq. And a slightly incorrect decal The decal isn't an issue as I won't be selling it -- as has been said by others, it's worth tuppence-ha'penny to anyone except me really.

IIRC Bunny Brunel uses piccolo tuning on his hex-equipped basses.

Ohh yes, an absolute cracker that. [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1461001489' post='3030550'] Lovely bass, Ibanez are on point right now. [/quote]Ain't that the truth. The SRF705 Portamento is the best off-the-peg fretless I've ever played. Bah. GAS.

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1461337308' post='3033847'] I believe the threat wasn't over the music but the use of the word Eagles in the band name. They didn't have to pay any money out in the end. I was told it was Don Henley who instigated it. [/quote] Presumably he'll be having a word with the Eagles Of Death Metal too then

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1461327024' post='3033706'] A pub I gig at now and again has reworked their menu as a tribute: The lamb koftas in a wrap are now Prince Of Persia The Southern fried chicken brioche is When Doves Fry The shared platter is Party Like It's ...£19.99 The 12oz rump steak is The Most Beautiful Grill In The World and the vegetarian special is Little Red Courgette [/quote] Brilliant

He died on 14th April last year.

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1461267272' post='3033215'] Alternatively, you could do a show on Inner City Sumo. [/quote] Or Monkey Tennis.

The credits on his early albums say it all about the man's incredible talent: "All songs produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince". I'm utterly knocked for six by this. His music is a large part of the soundtrack to my younger days... seeing Purple Rain at the flicks several times, buying the vinyl album and taping it for the car and then wearing that tape out... listening to Dirty Mind in my bedroom at home and hoping my mum wouldn't be able to hear what the lyrics were... watching Lovesexy 88 on the telly, openmouthed at the spectacle of it all. I never had a chance to see that spectacle for myself -- always hoped I would one day, but now it's gone forever. Heartbroken.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1461190804' post='3032402'] I also say anyone standing verticle playing an electric bass guitar in a rock band has been influenced by McCartney at some level whether they know it or not. Even if they've never heard of Paul McCartney.That's my take on it. [/quote] Yes we know that's your take on it, we've heard it a million times and we are NOT going down that road again. Any attempts to restart that argument, by anyone, will be removed. Also: *Rainey *Kaye *Clarke *Jaco Who on earth is 'Joco'?

My two main leads are a pair of Klotz cables I bought in 1986. Still going strong.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1461149342' post='3031827'] You're all crazy! The only possible answer is http://www.mpamp.com/products/red-cables/ [color=#ff0000][i][b]"SpinX[/b] is based on a nano treatment that can bring up nano-particles on the leading material with a very special process. After the treatment process the magnetic field caused by the signal flow starts to re-organize electrons. When the electrons are re-lined so called spin-wave is achieved, which partly participates to carry the signal with the normal charge current. The effect will spread and optimize the whole signal chain – in this case from instrument to speaker output."[/i][/color] I mean, c'mon guys, it's a [i][b]nano [/b][/i]treatment! [/quote] Exactly, it's a no-brainer really. I mean, sure, OBBM's cables might be superbly made and extremely good value, but do they [i]re-organise the electrons[/i]? Do they [i]partly participate[/i]? I think not. C'mon people, get some snake-oil in your signal chain!

[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1461136530' post='3031671'] Now that this is a porn thread... Here's my Modulus Flea - just don't mention the star bangled banner [/quote] At one time, Kiwi had a Modulus Sonic Hammer -- which I believe was the bass on which the Flea model was based. It was an absolute monster. He brought it to my place once and we tried it at some considerable volume through my rig in the garage. If I recall correctly, a shelf fell off the wall.

Always had a soft spot for the Fender Urge 1 too.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1461135465' post='3031658'] And the last one I saw sell on FEEBay (pushing 3 years ago?) went for $11,000 You can buy [s]a house in[/s] Wigan for that [/quote] Fixed

Probably my favourite signature bass... Peavey B Quad 4 Brian Bromberg sig.

Here 'tis. 1964 Höfner Artist II, cost me 20 quid off my metalwork teacher. Plays like a dog but I could never sell it. Yes those are Strat knobs and the decal should be a plastic badge... but have you seen the prices of old Höf parts on fleabay lately???

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1460741820' post='3028429'] If your really "in this" compromise comes into the picture. If I restricted myself to only the music like, I'd be broke and bandless. Blue [/quote] Thankfully, the 99% of us who only do this for sh*ts and giggles rather than cash can afford to be a little choosier. 😉

Fretless?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1460902292' post='3029633'] Back to back. It's pronounced doh-cee-doh. [/quote] Erm yes, I realise that. I'm not as thick as I look. Perhaps I should have added 'ps. JOKE' to my original post.
