Maybe they just got tired of our sh*t For whatever the reason I hope they're happy, healthy and still playing Bass.

The new US Stingray Specials really are something else and as much as I like mid- late 80's Rays, I think the new ones are well worth trying out if you can find one. The build quality is superb, the new beefed up electronics are brilliant and they now weigh around (if not under) 8lbs so are really comfortable too.

I don't blame you. Bloody exploding flat wounds, they really mess with my typing

I've been pondering this thread for quite a while now and I'm pretty certain Level 42 is before Level 43. Following the same logic it's after Level 41.

I'm wondering where the Jack socket is...

I went and saw Ray Sawyer with my Mum at the London Palladium at least 30 years ago now. It was a good night. I've missed out on seeing Dennis playing but he still tours with a band apparently. There were a couple of gig videos he recorded while on tour over here a few years back and he still sounds ace.

I still use a Fender P Bass for funk. Admittedly I didn't realise it was funk until several of my band mates asked "what the funk are you playing?"

I appreciate the offers but I'm not looking for trades thanks -
Influential albums that passed you by...
Old Horse Murphy replied to Nicko's topic in General Discussion
A brother from another mother. This just about sums up my recollection of 30 years ago, right down to the purchases you made and the reaction towards Nevermind which left me cold. -
This has to be the law. I'm in the same boat!
-
Thanks chaps. It's a real looker and a fabulous bass
-
Ah, crystal clear. Thanks for clarifying!
-
Was this an influence as well? Sorry....

It's like reading Under Milkwood without the Welsh names.... I'm waiting for the Brodie's Notes to come out. I have no idea what's going on.

For sale is my immaculate 2021 Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom PJ Ice Blue Metallic. It's a limited edition finish and is stunning. The neck is one of the best necks I've ever played. It has a lovely low action and weighs in at 9lbs 9oz (doesn't feel like it on the strap). It didn't come with a gigbag but I have a Fender deluxe gigbag I'll post it in.

I went rather overboard in 2021 and am determined 2022 is going to be a year of not buying any more kit; instead a year for actually using the gear I've got far more than I did in 2020 and 2021 due to circumstances largely outside of my control (well, most of the population's control). I'm still on the lookout for a Hohner B2A or Jack bass but other than that (and any strings I may need although in all the years I've been playing I've yet to break one and I'm sure I have enough spares lying around) I need to be strong and stuck to my guns for once. Please think of me in your prayers.

I've asked Guitar Guitar to weigh items for me before and to be fair, each store where they've had stock has come back with a weight relatively quickly.

A Warwick Gnome I Pro amp and a decent gig bag for my Guild Bass.

Jaw droppingly good albums for bass players to hear
Old Horse Murphy replied to Bilbo's topic in General Discussion
Any of the live Marillion albums are worth a listen to to hear Pete Trewavas at his best. John Mayer's Try is great for hearing Pino in his pomp -
NOOOO! I can change....my Basses. Again.... -
Does this mean Tiny Tim doesn't die? Please say yes....

I wonder what would happen if Meatloaf or Kevin Bacon applied

Does this work? - P Bass Pickguard quandary
Old Horse Murphy replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
Thanks for all your advice. I thought I'd fully fit it and see how it grows on me. It looks a bit bette to me now it's on. I've ordered a black one too. I'll see if I can borrow an aged Pearl one to try as well. -
Does this work? - P Bass Pickguard quandary
Old Horse Murphy replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in Bass Guitars
It's similar Dave, but nowhere near as blue as the DJ4. It's really a dark turquoise but really difficult to capture in camera. -
I recently acquired a Miami Blue Fender P Bass and wondered if a tortoise shell pickguard goes with it cue evil tortoise haters...) The colour of the bass is more turquoise than on the photos and the last pick is probably the closest to the actual colour. The pickguard is a bit duller than it really is as it still has the protective film on it. Does the tortoise shell work? If not I'm going to put a black one in it.
