Got to be this if it has been released by then: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-P-C-Chambers-Popular-History/dp/1845536363/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354823408&sr=1-9"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-P-C-Chambers-Popular-History/dp/1845536363/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354823408&sr=1-9[/url] (just keeping in with the Mods)

[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1354784837' post='1890243'] The man on the Clapham omnibus would probably only notice if the missing bass player was the frontman or the main song writer. The hard core fanboy is a different matter. [/quote] Got to agree entirely. I was with a work experience pupil from the Brit school a few years back who was surprised to learn that Eric Clapton played guitar!! -
Just did a great swap with Keith, I'm now the proud owner of Lozz196's old GS1 and my Epiphone Joe Pass is on its way to play some jazz standards in La Belle France. Keith bent over backwards to make sure the swap between here and there was completely painless. Now I just hope he loves the Epi as much as I love the GS1! Thanks Keith.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1354308859' post='1884775'] One with this on the fingerboard [/quote] So that counts out fretless necks then

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1354192645' post='1883308'] Now you've reminded me I've got Carvin GAS. D'oh. [/quote] Not a bad type of GAS to have considering the price - I'm still loving mine! Go on - join the club

I can't decide. Jimmy Page, orJeff beck.

Neither of them would win the X Factor just proving that music should never be a competition. (very minor rant over) -
[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1353692385' post='1877601'] Could be, of course, that our hero doesn't give feedback. [/quote] He's left 784 so far - adds to your theory.....

I heard the SM58 and SM58 Beta AB'ed at a soundcheck in a decent theatre and was very surprised how much better the Beta was.

Traynor - their valve heads look like great value for Canadian built gear and have brilliant user reviews on Harmony Central. The only "UK" dealer is Thomann

Aah, why not..... -
Yes, big +1 to Flyfisher - take a listen to Brian Matthews "Sounds of the 60's" one Saturday morning just to realise what is now regarded as a golden era of popular music had dross by the bucketload!

[quote name='jonno1981' timestamp='1352596347' post='1865108'] It's a fantastic shop with fantastic people, well worth the trip! [/quote] +1 Now bought a cab and a head from Phil and Vic - brilliant service and will be my first choice for anything else I need.

Any oddball swaps/trades out there for a very lovely but now unused jazzer?

Traded with Leschirons for a Gordon Smith GS1 - Selling my old Jazz Guitar - it is a very nice 90's Samick Korean Epiphone Emperor Joe Pass with replacement Seymour Duncan in the neck position and Schaller locking machineheads (to replace the originals that tarnished really quickly). Very nicely set up with 012 D'addario Chromes and original hard case. Looking for around £300 which is what the last one went for on Ebay (without the upgrades) or will consider all sorts of weird and wonderful trades/swaps - solid 6 string, 15" bass cab, small guitar valve combo, Peavey T40 Bass (yes, long shot I know), decent microphone etc. Pics up here: [url="http://s1137.beta.photobucket.com/user/Mykesbass/library/Epiphone%20Joe%20Pass"]http://s1137.beta.ph...ne%20Joe%20Pass[/url]

Was gigging last night with my gorgeous Shuker 5 string fretless tele style bass and kept looking down hallucinating that I had a T40 in my hands - never played one but remember them as a kid when they and the T60's came out and always loved them. Now that's what I call GAS Now if anyone fancies swapping one for an Epiphone Jazz guitar......
-
May sound a bit silly but I like the fact that these guitars don't try too hard to be an acoustic guitar and, at least the early ones, have a distinctive sound of their own, unlike the modern breed of electro's which chase the holy grail of acoustic tone and never quite get there.

Precision style with a Jazz pick-up should get the alarm bells ringing.

What is '..a microbe of relief' ??
Mykesbass replied to Stacker's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Mmmm, a whole £2 less than a new one, but then of course a new one wouldn't be master bodged I guess! -
[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1349214937' post='1823561'] I wouldn't want to be in a band with anyone who uses [i]there [/i]where they should be using [i]their[/i]. P [/quote] Or a band with a 2nd guitar come to that!

Pretty sure it is not dumb at all Pinball. In my opinion it is one of those where the science and theory don't equate to reality - a bit like the fact that bumble bees can't fly! Hopefully someone will be able to give a definitive answer but I've only ever seen opinion on here when this question has been asked before.

I only play fretless but don't really play in a fretless style - yes, odd I know. I use pressurewound strings so halfway between round and flats and play fairly rocky versions of Dylan songs. Don't know why but just feel more comfortable with fretless.

219 Kensington High Street comes up as a solicitors office. Anyone live/work that way and can take a look in good old BC style?
