TYpe REM live into YouTube and there are tons of great vids with his P-bass Ampeg rig. Great basic sound.

Willie Nelson's bass player at Glasto last year was using an epiphone les paul heavy metal sig model! Epiphone Vinnie Hornsby Signature Les Paul

You are going to take a financial hit anyway so why not just play it?

The story I recall reading was that he was about to do a video in New York & sent someone out to buy the most beaten up bass they could get and that's what they came back with.[/quote] Sent his tech out for a video shoot (demolition man?) and he came back with the P-bass....his plan was to discard it but curiously he loved it and it became his go-to bass!

CD Dave...... [quote name='cd_david' post='1078448' date='Jan 5 2011, 12:18 PM']Bored, post Christmas/January blues prompted pics [/quote] ...I honestly hate you! Throw in a MM maple neck double buck and I'd give up Friday nights with Angelina Jolie for that collection!

Is it still fashionable to look down on Sting? I think he's great and has some great bass lines. Love his old P-bass and he still has the 2-barrel bridge whereas many would swap it out! So - big up for Gordie and his beat up bass! I'd love a shot of one - any info on how the sound?

[quote name='edster' post='1091578' date='Jan 16 2011, 05:08 PM']It went to a guitarist from the dark lands at the east of the country who wanted to start a wedding band. As with all guitarists bass must have been too hard for him. Last I saw it was for sale on Gumtree.[/quote] Thought I spotted it!

[quote name='edster' post='1091420' date='Jan 16 2011, 02:57 PM']I imagine most of you will already be aware of Mark (7 string on here) who carries out repairs and set ups in Glasgow. I had my Lakland 55-01 set up by him and I'm stunned by how much better and easier to play the bass is. He's done a fantastic job at a very cheap price. I'd definately recommend him if you need anything done.[/quote] Haw you! Get up to speed! He's great! What happened to my pride and joy Jazz! ps - x 2 for the big-up!

Enjoying the MM bass?

[quote name='Lysdexia' post='1089235' date='Jan 14 2011, 12:44 PM']Hi Guys, I'll cut a long story short here - in December last year I sold what I believed to be a genuine Gibson Les Paul. The buyer has now come back to me and is claiming the serial is a fake. Before I refund his money and take back possession of the guitar I'd like to check as best I can that he is at least, in turn, being honest with me. The serial number in question is as follow: 80645481 Is there anyway to learn conclusively if this is indeed the genuine article or a fake as he claims? In the email I received, he goes on to list a number issues with the guitar suggesting that the serial number is far being the only thing fake about it. Any information about the number and other things to watch for would be very helpful indeed. Not least because I sent the guitar to the guy in London and he has now returned to Argentina - I'm assuming he would like me to refund his money to a bank in Argentina and then he will ship the guitar to me. Should I use an escrow service? Jings - my head is done in! Many thanks - Andy.[/quote] pm me his name cos I had a lot of trouble last year from an Argentinian in London who was leaving soon and could you do this, that etc until I told him to either pay or f*** off. He chose the latter. ps - He may have swapped your genuine Gibbo for a fake - that way he gets the guitar for nothing other than the price of a fake.
