i stuck a Gotoh 201 on my old MIM P bass & had no problem getting a pretty low action,no shims req'

you lucky bar-steward you-- a new Precision + a set of La Bella medium flats & you're sorted,you'll bloody love it. have fun.

just get in there & record them,you'll be fine. when we recorded our first CD we laid down 12 tracks on day one,added some vocals & mixed it on day too,all done while consuming loads of beer & having a rite laugh.

i really liked your black jazz,it played very nice indeed & as mentioned above the scratch plate is a tad ugly but hey for £200 it's a bloody bargain.

check out the Roland cube,i had mine at the Harrogate bass bash yesterday & most people who played though it were very impressed with the tone & amount of bottom it chucks out.

i've got Dimazzio ultra jazz pups in my jazz & they sound fab' imho.

a big thank you to all involved in organising a great sunday afternoon's bassness,it's nice to meet a few of you all at long last --roll on the next one.

i'm going to bring all 3 of my basses, 'cos they don't get out much, & i was going to bring my Ampeg rig but being a fat lazy bastard i'm planning on bringing my Roland bass cube instead. if anyone wants me to bring the Ampeg i will, but it'll cost you a pint of lager

i'll buy a ticket at the do,so it'd better be a winner-----or else........

my Jazz has a pair of Dimazzio ultra jazz pups fitted & it sounds ace,like a jazz just more & a hell of a lot punchier. i'd strongly recommend them.

13 is the norm' i think. at lease that's what all my P's had.

Steve Earl is country and I think He's great!! Only Martians [b]hate[/b] country![/quote] WE COME IN PEACE.............................TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER

[quote name='Linus27' post='406467' date='Feb 11 2009, 04:34 PM']Why thank you kind sir. Certainly has more of a ring to it that Blues [/quote]

[quote name='RayFW' post='406508' date='Feb 11 2009, 04:55 PM']I LOVE Country. But only if played backwards. Cos then you get your wife, dog and job back.[/quote] pure genius

[quote name='Linus27' post='406456' date='Feb 11 2009, 04:31 PM']Oh please, not Blues. All that pissing about bending 1 single note for about half an hour, looking like your in total pain and ripping the note from deep within your heart. Not to mention some old goat singing over it about breaking up with his sisters aunties, cousins dog. Then there is the bass playing. Does anyone do anything different apart from root, 3rd and 5th. Oh yeah, root, 1st, 3rd and 5th. Woohoo, genius. [/quote] sh*t you've seen me play then. you just described my whole bass reportoire you bounder you

i should hope not,it's f*****g crap.

i love metal too,especially brass it looks really nice once its polished up a tad &............................... uuugghhh sorry

[quote name='josh3184' post='406434' date='Feb 11 2009, 05:22 PM']SRV is kindof a god...[/quote] damn wright................(i got the blues from my head down to my shoes)

[quote name='Eight' post='406436' date='Feb 11 2009, 05:24 PM']If by kindof you mean "not at all" or by god you mean "jumped up w***er". If you wanna talk blues, you've got be talking Howlin' Wolf, Otis Spann, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon or Ma Rainey. Maybe Bessie Smith but that's getting dangerously close to j*zz.[/quote] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH DON'T MENTION THE J*** WORD PLEASE

fantastic thread title,i take my hat of to you mate

and anyone who doesn't is obviously a lesser person than me & lacks personality or depth of character if you don't like the blues it's just because you haven't learnt to listern to it properly or you are just one of the "great unwashed" who listerns to mindless "thuggish" music sorry couldn't help meself.
