Wow, what a result, and what a thing to be part of!! Honorary citizenship for @Clarky, I reckon.

This has all the hallmarks of a great project; It'll be a real sleeper.

Where's your hat that says "Bassssist"?!

Either would do it.

Fnarrrr!

If the bass playing doesn't work out you could always write prose for a living!

I think the only bass gear I've bought this year was a Cali76 from @Salt on your Bass?, and it's superb. Does that count for best and worst?! No, just best, I think.

I keep my subs in the basement, covered in lime jelly and naked apart from their flip flops.

I love this.

Dirty boy!

Never let it be said that you're not rock 'n' roll, Ped!

Get at it, sir!!

Essentially one of each, but there was spare in all of them except the trans red, which ran out. A shame really, as I'd have liked one more coat on it.

Well, she's done. I changed the pickups for a pair of Limelight units which are 1960's voiced with a lower, more vintage output than the ones I originally had. I bought these from our very own @Spoonman, and they sound superb. The nut has been cut by the fabulous Rob Williams (www.robwilliamsguitars.co.uk) and the action, which was high and stiff, is now lower and slinkier, to the point where it feels like another bass. I have to say that it sounds amazing, even through my PF500, which is a bit farty and clanky for my liking, so when I get it through the big Eden rig I reckon it will be even better. It plays well, too, the added width of the Precision neck giving my clumsy (and injured) fingers a bit more freedom. The wiring loom I bought pre-assembled; normally I would build my own but I found a deal I couldn't say no to, which included a great big green Russian capacitor. What effect it has on the sound I don't know, but the sound is great, so it gets my vote - the combination of CTS pots, that capacitor and those lovely pickups just works. Now all I need is my finger to finish healing (that'll take a while) and a band to play in! Cheers, JRK

This man is very nice to deal with; I sent him money for some Jazz Bass pickups on Thursday night and they are in my hand less than 48hrs later. Thanks very much, Phil.

I've got a cheapy Korean Squier Jazz that has rounds that are about four years old on it. Not a great age when compared to the average set of flats, but older than my main P bass stings, which are around two years old.

Cheers Rich - thanks for the encouraging tale. My finger is healing reasonably well but it's still feeling very fizzy where the wound is, if you see what I mean.

Ah, the lovely Joan! I made a film once with her, on the west coast of Scotland. A truly lovely lady.

Chas and Dave were as punk as hell.
