There's nothing wrong with aiming high ...

$500 was a lot of money in 1978 - £2,800 in 2009 is as well -

[quote name='lowdown' post='673904' date='Dec 4 2009, 08:29 AM']A guy called William Robinson played on a some of their tracks - might be him? Good stuff. Garry[/quote] Thanks Garry - yes, only credits I can find are for William Robinson (although I doubt it was my late Father in Law)! or group leader, Eugene Record. It's a real shame when, in this age of having everything at your fingertips, you can't find out more on someone like this with obviously a huge talent. Mike

Just heard this on the radio and thought I'd share it - lovely old school bass line and really great sound (to my ageing ears). Can't find out who the player is yet but will carry on looking - anyone out there know? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWFLKj4CyyY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWFLKj4CyyY[/url]

Just listened to the start of Paul Jones Radio 2 Blues show - what are these people on - every cliche in the book, string bends way, way out of tune, ego pouring out of the radio. I loved playing guitar but just couldn't stand the idea of music as competition! So happy being at the lower end so to speak.

Just seen something I REALLY want, so another price reduction to see if this will go part fund the new BC acquisition. I have this lovely Aria, it's the discontinued 303/5, Korean built, bolt on, ash top on alder body. About 2003/4. Original retail £549. Great bass, great neck, but I'm a bit of a big girls blouse and found it got heavy towards the end of the night - it's not really heavy (think about 9lb (4.4Kg)), just didn't sit right with me balance wise. Small amount of "imperfections" - Battery compartment lid missing, 5 way selector only works in 4 positions, some strange buckle rash on the back which I have tried to illustrate, and a very small dink on the edge of the neck at 4th fret. Missed out on the Yamaha I had my heart set on, but now something else has really caught my eye. Cash price now just £180 Trade - Lightweight fretless possibly? Mike

Enjoying having your Pumas here at the moment - they sure gave us (England) a run for our money!

Is This Actually An MIJ/CIJ Fender?
Mykesbass replied to Lew-Bass's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Notice that none of his feedback is as a seller. I'd ask lots of questions - date, serial number - is it CIJ or MIJ etc. I'm sure there's usually more on the headstock than the Fender logo but I'm sure there are others out there with better knowledge than me. -
Hi Sam, Just found this via another thread: [url="http://www.playjazznow.com/bassist.html"]http://www.playjazznow.com/bassist.html[/url] Where the Abersold series fell down for me was that it was for lead instruments - this looks like it's going to break you in gently into the rhythm section. I'm definitely going to try some. Mike

I had a good experience with Wunjo in Denmark Street with a Yamaha SG 3000. Their communication wasn't great but they got the sale quickly and got top dollar for it. Since then my brother used them to sell his junk shop bargain - a 64 Rivoli - again, got a really good price. I think they have standardised their commission to 20%. They also like slightly different stuff.

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='659872' date='Nov 20 2009, 09:04 AM']I heard Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick was speeded up quite substantially taking it up from E to F. Common practice in the 70s to do this to give songs more punch.[/quote] Dave Robinson at Stiff was notorious for this - anyone see Tracey Ullman on the Stiff documentary on BBC 4 recently - she said it gave her real problems on TOTP.

Amazed that no-one has come up with Band of Gold or Young Hearts Run Free - the classic faux pas that we used to get all the time when I worked in a record shop (remember them - that's one for the Fook, I'm old thread)!

Hope this isn't breaking forum etiquette but, I've got one of these: [url="http://www.dv247.com/assets/products/56718_l.jpg"]http://www.dv247.com/assets/products/56718_l.jpg[/url] and one of these: [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/81945"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/81945[/url] which are both amazing but were from my 6 string days, not much call for them with an EUB! Let me know if they are of interest as I'm having a bit of a clear out and open to offers.

I'm loving Peacock Blue strings - are they DR's? Welcome to the forum from another relatively newbie.
