My Pitchblack has worked fine for ages. Now of it is irrecoverably jinxed.

Very easy on the eye indeed, congrats.

Yes, in short. We have been together for around 7 years now. The drummer and singer both had a short time out of the band for personal reasons, but are now back in the fold. We enjoy what we do; we like each others company and are tollerant of things like schedules sometimes being difficult to sort out. It probably helps that the average age of the band is late 30s / early 40s.

Not on the list, but how about one of these? Obviously we'd need to find ACG owners near you. [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/g-033u-uber-graft-j-type-5/"]http://www.acguitars...graft-j-type-5/[/url]

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1413972969' post='2584160'] One of my favourite films - when I saw it again recently after many years, I realised how much of the dialog has sunk into my common lexicon. (ditto Tom Hanks' 'Bachelor Party') Katy: I think l'm in love with a retard Boon: is he bigger than me?

I've alway been curious about the BB1500A basses, they seem to tick a lot of boxes in the Super Jazz category.

I've had a couple of BBN5s, nice basses, well put together I think. [attachment=174345:BBN5 06.JPG] [attachment=174346:Yamaha BBN5 01.JPG] [attachment=174347:BBN5 07.JPG] [attachment=174348:Yamaha BBN5 02.JPG]

Yup, it's a question of fitting in with schedules.

Scott is a top bloke. I am having some lessons from him atm.

What do all the controls do? Couldn't find anything much on t'interweb, but I may not have been searching for the right thing.

I've just bought a book of Yes transcriptions as I felt that I needed to push myself a bit. Starship Trooper here I come...

That all seems to be the concensus Carl.

As somebody who really doesn't get on with Fenders, I think it would be a tragedy if they did disappear as they are no doubt an iconic brand and responsible for a lot of good things generally. I agree with most of the above on the confusing model line-up, and the Fender logo being on the USA instruments only. FWIW I would also say that having set the benchmark for playable basses, they seem to just be trading off that without any real innovation. The number of Super Jazzes and the like that the boutique guys build must surely have been noticed at FMIC. Why don't they do some proper R&D and develop the next icon?
