Warwick..... the Behringer of basses That's why he's universally nicknamed Hans Peter PILFER!

It wouldn't bother me tbh. If it was so important to them they would be welcome to do a whip round and raise the funds to cover my bass should it get damaged....

Unless I know you well and it was a genuinely unfortunate and unexpected occurrence.....Just "no...." You didn't bring a spare bass or spare strings. Not my problem.

Yep, They've definitely been on form over the last few years. The Mission was excellent and they've followed it up with another solid release....!

The Styx album 'Crash Of The Crown' : and the new Finally George album 'Icy Skies':

The quite excellent and hugely underrated British act Charlie from the late 70's....

NX appear to be made in the USA?

Cheers! That 2nd link isn't a multipack though - just a normal 4-string nickel pack?

A Top 5 album of all time for me!

Another request for a link. I used to buy their multipacks. Great strings for the price!

Sadly not..... otherwise I'd be in there with a dep offer, like a rat up a drainpipe! lol!

It's spelt 'Redick'..... Yes, he plays with 'Asylum Affair' and he also plays in the Lee Aaron Band around Surrey/Berks etc

Got it as a B-stock bargain from Thomann. Love it.........!

Almost definitely Hugh McDonald who played on that..... and almost everything else too...

Another name for the rack kit that you connect to the sides of an amp in order to rack it into an e.g. SKB rack case.....

Does anyone here make rack ears.... or know a metal fabricator who can make some cheaply? I want to rack a Tech21 VT 500 Head but the amp/accessories are no longer made so I can't seem to find a set of the ears for it. Tech21 have been kind enough to send me the original plans/drawings for the ears with all measurements etc so I just need to find someone who can make me a pair up! Cheers muchly in advance for any help/pointers...

A bass is either a good one/one that suits your style, feel etc or it isn't. I have many sig basses I love. I also have many non-sig basses I love. One does not negate the other....

Pretty ugly tbh and I don't like the cabs either....... sorry.... ymmv, imho etc....

For the rest of this year I just have: Steely Dan tribute 'Stanley Dee' at the Half Moon, Putney Yacht Rock sensation 'Young Gun Silver Fox' at the Jazz Cafe, London and will probably go to either 'Dizzy Lizzy' or 'Wrong Jovi' at The Tropic in Ruislip.

Best tribute band ever..... they play Chicago material SO well.... and when they branch out into E,W&F, Ides Of March, Blood Sweat & Tears etc they nail them too... LOVE them!

Maybe he was commanding you to "Play something you know!!" ?

I HATE anyone coming uninvited into the stage area. My worst one was back in my KISS tribute days at a gig in South Shields where a couple of drunken idiots got on a stage full of pyro and tried to sing along in the choruses. When they wouldn't leave, I stopped playing and left the stage, refusing to return until venue security did their job. We'd put up "Warning, pyro!" notices either side of the stage but you can just bet that if one of those drunks blew their leg off it would be OUR fault.... Shame, really..... would have served them right.... I love a bit of Darwinism....

I imagine there were quite a few other such/even more momentous days in the late 60's/70's but I'm buggered if I'm gonna go trawling through every release date of every album to see which ones marry up! lol!

Thanks! Why a Euro X? Well because I want some more , and more affordable versions of this bass in other colours lol!
