I was using a phaser but I'm just using a chorus at the moment.... No worries, maybe next time

Lol! It's more of a musical (vibe/feel/groove) tribute...... rather than a warts n all copy of every last word said etc....

Hey all, Just wanted to let you know that I will be playing bass in a tribute show to the classic Thin Lizzy album 'Live & Dangerous' this friday night at Redhill Harlequin Theatre..... and on Fri 20th June at Dartford Mick Jagger Centre (see reply below)! The band also features Andy Fox & Greg Hart (both ex-Limehouse Lizzy), Mike Nolan (ex-The Bohemians) & Rick Chase (ex-Graffiti/Mama's Boys). We will be performing the album in full, plus some other classic Lizzy tracks played on that tour but edited off the original album! Would be great to see any of you who can make it! Cheers!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1399928370' post='2449143'] Saw [url="https://www.facebook.com/helltopayband"]this[/url] band recently in a pub, not sure if the singer can 'smooth' his voice out to do the AOR type stuff but his voice is way too good for pub gigs (very wide range and good power too), might be worth getting in touch as I recall him saying he did extra work as a wedding singer so presumably the main band doesn't take all his time up. Maybe a long shot... Alternatively poach the guy from 'A Foreigner's Journey' [/quote] Ah yes, I'm familiar with Hell To Pay.... Re: a Foreigners Journey - their old singer was with us for a while but he couldn't hack it! lol!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1398453854' post='2434402'] A-ha! Took some time but I knew I could flush you out eventually Checked out the AOR Starz website, looks a cracking gig to get. [/quote] It would have been if we could have kept our lead singer.... Sadly noone these days seems capable of singing like Perry/Scholz/Gramm etc....

Congrats! Show it LOTS of love

Bought a bridge (not the over-river kind!) from Dave. Great communication and fast despatch. Recommended!

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1392818335' post='2373043'] Well one regular member in the past actually used to post under th name of 'cetera' so he certainly has been discussed in older posts and in 'underrated bassists' but not he most recent version, that topic has been done a number of times. [/quote] And I'm still here! Peter Cetera is/was a wonderful bassist. Just check out anything from the first 13 Chicago albums for proof.... Melody, counterpoint, groove and a musical voice all of his own. Like the best of Jameson & McCartney rolled into one... All my fave bassist are from that era - including, in particular, Tiran Porter of the Doobie Brothers

Enjoy mate! I have 5 white Spectors now (NS2, NS2A, Euro LX, NS2-JA and Bassman's Wimbish) and to my mind the most beautiful looking and best sounding basses known to man....

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1396910367' post='2418773'] I'm on a ferry to France right now but I'll check when I get home at the weekend. I can't remember if I sold it. A search through the for sale forums might reveal the answer though. Poor signal ahoy so I can't really check. [/quote] No worries. I'll PM you to remind you for when you get back mate

Sounds to me like he needs to EQ his rig a little better as Spectors punch like hell..... However, if he had a smiley face EQ set up on his amps then all punch would be lost....

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1396726585' post='2416880'] It's a world of difference. I never liked the tone pump or the US Spector preamp so I switched them out. [/quote] Sean, do you still have the US preamp? If so, please PM me as I'd be interested in buying it off you. Cheers!

I love the neck/feel/tone on the early Warwicks but haven't got on with any since Spectors on the other hand are a completely different ball game as far as I'm concerned. Superb basses at every price point. If you can afford top prices you can get a boutique-style instrument from their US workshop. If your budget is a little more modest then the Euro models are fantastic sounding and playing instruments which to my ears sound 90% as good as the US models. Below that the Korean made instruments are of excellent quality and great value for money. Spector also have superb customer service and a fantastic reputation built on 40 years of master-building. Just mho....

Bought 2 x 9th row centre stalls tickets with ease from GetToTheFront at 9.30am last Friday. I figured it best to avoid the obvious ticket sites and and also to go for a midweek date. Thankfully I figured right....! *Phew*

Looks like EMG35DC active pickups. Nice purchase & congrats!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1393185504' post='2377154'] Spector knock off by the looks of things. [/quote] Looks nothing like a Spector....

Just bought a bass from George. Regular contact, payment method sorted and superb packing of instrument. What more could you want? Thanks!
