Painting the headstock face and obscuring the the Fender logo will not ruin the neck.It will likely devalue it,but that's a different isue.

[quote name='Ninja_Baby' timestamp='1360595758' post='1972972'] I ruptured a disc in my lower back last Sunday putting on a sock. Which now makes standing with a 11lbs guitar strapped to me pretty much impossible. [/quote] I had to take 10 years off with a similar non sock related injury.

Aha.

It's a SKANK of bassists.

But it's not black any more......

His taste in trousers is awesome.

I believe the OP deleted it.Can't think why..

It's funny because it's true.

Do I get a cake?

[quote name='Stan_da_man' timestamp='1360516635' post='1971576'] Simple solution - don't listen to [b]rock[/b] music. [/quote] That doesn't work - listening to previously unexplored genres of music soon leads to the whole "I've heard this all before" syndrome.

One of my colleagues - Basschat's very own DOOMCHILD - has many 4 string basses with a low B.Not sure I'd like to start filing the nut on a 1978 Rick,though.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1360002980' post='1963391'] Mine too. Should I remove it..? [/quote] No,it's kept me occupied for hours.

I've not had one,however my Soundcloud page is dedicated to my electronic Harsh Noise output,that may have something to do with it?

Discharge's WHY, Strangler's Black and White.

[quote name='Chrismanbass' timestamp='1359768092' post='1960240'] ok so i've just come in from a covers gig which was pretty un eventful really good audience, nice tight band, etc.. however as i was playing on stage i noticed a group of young guys sat down beside the stage making a w**ker sign at the band (not sure if it was me or the band in general) at first i was a bit bemused has anyone encountered this kind of behaviour before? i mean fair enough i'm putting myself up on stage to be judged and they're entitled to their opinion of me or the band but seriously? in the end my solution was to drop in some tasty fills, enjoy myself more than before and casually remind them as i left the stage they by drinking they were paying my wages just wanted peoples thoughts really? [/quote] Not that I would ever advocate violence ( no,really..) there are advantages to 14 lb Precisions.

[quote name='mxm' timestamp='1357740903' post='1927563'] My '76 freshly restrung (I know) with cover on. [/quote] Finally,one the right way round!

Nostalgia is big business,but I think I'll be sticking with my MS 10.

Alas,I'm only allowed a Trace Elliot 4 x 10 150w combo in the lounge...

Smacking people over the head with a Fender Precision,got that one from Sid Vicious.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1358629163' post='1942628'] OH DAMN! It's just my luck that i happened to be trying to change my profile picture to a silhouette of me. It definitely must have worked then, i just didn't realise. *tsk* [/quote] Seperated at birth...

I have,in my distant past,played many gigs whilst absolutely ratarsed,and more than a few whilst under the influence of more exotic and illegal substances.I have no regrets,other than the singer developing a fairly damaging drug problem,and I certainly wouldn't do it now.( nor would the singer).

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1358424883' post='1938821'] Well judging by the number of people on a recent thread who were struggling to work out exactly how "Love Will Tear Us Apart" was played, quite a lot. [/quote] I must have missed that one,it's not exactly difficult to play....

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1358388550' post='1938455'] Does the colour of the bass have a bearing on this..? [/quote] It does if it's Jean Jaques Burnel's.

Plug it into an Ampeg SVT with an 8 x 10 and you'll have a LOT more fun.
