[quote name='Bilbo' post='1152283' date='Mar 7 2011, 10:28 AM']I struggle to get past the idea that playing other people's stuff the way they played it is just pretending - one step up from a tennis racquet in front of the mirror. Tribute bands are just like taking the tennis racquet out in [b]public[/b] - [/quote] As opposed to jazz gigs where you just take the tennis raquet 'out' in 'person'....

GREAT band and incredibly tight as a live act! As has been mentioned above - Chris Leslie is a lovely guy, as is my good friend Ric Sanders - a gentler, more sincere person you'd be hard-pressed to find.

Excellent! I have the same set up..... and it's a monster! Be careful not to lose the all important mids from your sound though P.S. Hey Gary (Grunge!) good to see you here mate!

[quote name='Roland Rock' post='1151010' date='Mar 5 2011, 10:46 PM']Hey - we played a gig recently at the Vic Bikers Pub, Coalville, and saw one of your posters on the wall, I'm guessing from a while back. It was a good fun place to play. Any plans to return there?[/quote] Hi mate, Sorry, no.... too small for us and we can't use our 'effects' there... You can catch us a junction or two further up the M1 at Sutton In Ashfield 'Diamond'on Sat 15th October though!

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1150653' date='Mar 5 2011, 03:43 PM']Lanark - great night. 2 supporting bands with Dressed to Kill on top form. Flames, blood, make up and smoking guitars. What more do you need. ? 35yrs watching live bands and it doesn't get any better than this. What a show. Absolute entertainment. The guys all came into the audience at the end of the night for photos and generally making friends. Great bunch of guys. Everyone seemed to have a great night - well done !!! If you like Kiss then go see these guys - you won't be disappointed. Will be back for their return gig ? Cheers and thanks Dave [/quote] Wow.... thanks SOOO much Dave It was great to meet you afterwards too mate! We had a wonderful time... such welcoming people, two great support bands, a cool venue and 400+ new friends We hope to return early in 2012... so see you then... unless you fancy joining us at the Glasgow 'Garage' on Sat 12th November?!

Thanks chaps! Yes Nik, this is the one you played at Walfest! Now, I've had a fair few people make contact about this bass already, but obviously with an instrument of this value (and the tough current financial climate) people are finding it hard to be the first to get the full amount together.... [i]*finance arrangements deleted now SOLD*[/i] Hope that helps?! Please see my extensive feedback (link below) for assurances of my honesty and trading/selling reputation on these boards.

[quote name='Macklaud' post='1147056' date='Mar 2 2011, 01:15 PM']Well i love the tone from the spectors. I have tried a Spector rebop and love the sound of it, thats why i'm asking about the spector performer, i dont have any idea if the sound is near the sound of a rebop...[/quote] It's similar but not quite the same. Why don't you keep your eyes open for a 'used' Rebop?

Sadly I need to part with my beautiful Nov 1983 Wal Mk1 Custom (W2205) from the original/classic Ian Waller & Pete Stevens era. The bass has a Mahogany core with Wenge facings, Indian Rosewood fingerboard with inlaid m.o.p. dot markers, Schaller machineheads and black/chrome custom Wal bridge. The neck is 34" scale/21 frets and of a six-piece laminate construction of Rock Maple, Hornbeam and Amazonian Hardwood. Electronics are the standard x2 Wal pickups with Volume, Blend and two parametric EQ Tone Control pots. There is extra 'pick attack' with the pull up Volume pot and extra focus on selected frequencies with the two pull up Tone pots. The bass also has ¼" and an integrated XLR balanced output, which allows for direct connection to a desk or other balanced input. It is currently strung with 45 - 105 strings. As we all know, Wal basses are hand made, beautifully constructed and individually unique instruments and this particular bass is surely one of the best. Indeed, when I had this fully serviced by Pete about 3 or 4 years ago, he told me that it was one of the [i][b]finest[/b][/i] examples he’d ever seen of this model. Condition is 'excellent' with just a few very light dings/surface scratches - to be expected from an almost 28 year old instrument. I have barely used it outside the house since owning it and a case will be included. The weight (according to my bathroom scales) is approx 8 lbs... I'm very sad to move it on but, as the owner of an incredibly rare 'Geddy Lee' Mk1 and a beautiful fretless Mk1 as well, I feel it is time to offer this classic up to someone else to enjoy to the max! So, without much more ado.... here she is: Now, to the price: I'm looking for [b]*SOLD*[/b] cash, cheque or bank transfer/IBAN. No Paypal or trades, thanks. Pickup is preferred (from Central London or Guildford/Surrey) but I WILL meet within a reasonable distance for petrol money. I WILL ship within the UK or Internationally but obviously, with a bass of this value, all shipping/insurance costs and any import taxes must be met by the buyer. Please see my superb feedback (link in sig below) for assurances of a clean/honest transaction.

This: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=123391"]Spector NS2A[/url] Far superior to the, admittedly very good, Spector Performer..... and will hold it's value should you wish to move it on in the future....
