  1. If a band is a main course dinner, we are the gravy. It's still edible but there's something missing....
  2. Strung Out Guitars sold our red version for about the same two months ago. Best of luck.
  3. We just sold a 1963/3 version of the Hofner in red!
  4. I've seen inside his box.....not pretty but good value for about £35! :ph34r:
  5. [quote name='peted' post='841749' date='May 19 2010, 09:48 AM']I play this with my cover band. I use an EH Big Muff with my bass tuned at concert pitch EADG. All I do is play octaves and our keyboard player also doubles up what I'm playing on his synth. I start on the D - 10th fret on the E string. Does that help? I could record myself playing the riff once through tonight if it helps?[/quote] Basically that's what I do when I play it. In an ideal world you would split the signal with a 'normal' and 'fuzz/octaver effect being switched off and on when it suited. In reality, I used an EHX Big Muff when the rest of the band were 'not in' and turned it off as the 2nd verse started up. If you watch live in Teignmouth, I then fuzzed up the mimic the guitar when he played the 'pentatonic with passing notes' riff at the end. Because of the lack of shifting, I found my muscle groups crying in pain, so I played it like a classical guitar (like Sting) with a thumb downstroke and a middle finger upstroke! (Sounds well-dodgy!)
  6. Get searching on here! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88247"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88247[/url] £350!
  7. Buy from here and it will retain value. To Joe Public, anything Fender in the £300-350 is a safe bet for a MIM. £325: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88458"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88458[/url]

  9. [quote name='Philboyo' post='840581' date='May 18 2010, 10:09 AM']Price dropppppped.[/quote] That's an astonishing buy!
  10. I'd really like to get rid of my knob(s) and put black metal/tele/P-bass type knobs on instead. Any ideas or links to possibilities?
  11. Lads - I can't let you stay in suspense! It's an inflatable Jaco-in-the-Box!
  12. If I hadn't seen it on Saturday, I'd have said a new pair of slippers...
  13. [quote name='Golchen' post='833450' date='May 10 2010, 06:55 PM']Damn that Avatar! I was just thinking what's CrazyKiwi doing in Glasgowshire when the penny dropped. Can I suggest you getting an Avatar that hasn't been used extensively before! Anyway, I assume that i[b]t's a MIM[/b]? I'm kind of half thinking about a Tele at the moment, but I'm a bit short of readies right now as I was underpaid last month! Still not sure about a Tele, but I'm thinkin ........[/quote] Yes.
  14. Never knew the avatar was used before - I've always used it elsewhere! If I change it will you buy?........
  15. [quote name='TheDisparities' post='833277' date='May 10 2010, 05:17 PM']I'm trying to adjust my action but cant figure how low to go. I like it vaguly low, what mm from the fretboard would you call this? and at what fret would you expect to start to get fret buzz? Quick replies needed please, gig on wednesday. Thankyou, Chris[/quote] What type of bass?Most makers have a resources section where it tells you the recommended heights.

Very good condition. White pickguard and black pickguard. Looking for defects I can only find the tiniest 'mini-/micro-ding behind the neck at about the 7th fret.
