the standard p bass neck is 4mm wider than the jazz bass. 42mm (1.65") nut rather than the 38mm (1.5") found on the skinny jazz bass... just to clarify :-)

Uk Awarding bodies all award up to grade 8. They stop there coz then you can tell kids that are exagerating about how good their big brother is when he's like grade 10 or summut.

I started with Sibelius 2 back in school and I loved it. Now I've left school and can't afford Sibelius 2, 3 or 4 and I miss them all.
