  1. Stunner right there!!
  2. That's sad news. Still some great acts there though.... Dave Bickler is fantastic... my guitarist Glenn is playing with him and Dave will put on a great performance.
  3. Ooooh.... that looks lovely 🙂
  4. VERY nice! Have a free bump :)
  5. Bought a lovely Spector from Stuart. Regular communication, a great deal and willing to work with me to make the purchase happen. Recommended!
  6. Given the level of talent present in the TNMC and the successes they experienced before and after elsewhere as songwriters, musicians and producers who is to say? And, lets face it - if she WAS the principle songwriter then her output since would have been of an equal/better quality... which it isn't/hasn't been (imho)
  7. ...... and she didn't acknowledge them in her Grammy acceptance speech. Nuff said...
  8. *cough* after-game bath *cough* american football team *cough* *musical casting couch* *cough* gold-digger *cough* etc (NB: allegedly) Where's my cough syrup when I need it?
  9. ....yep..... and some much more sordid events...
  10. They're only as hot as the pre-amp they're linked with. If you have a Tonepump you can reduce the output gain. However, early Tonepump models don't have a trimpot on the side of them.... you'd need to check yours.
  11. Yes, the Tonepump with EMG PJ or DC is VERY hot. There is a trimpot on the side of the Tonepump where the output gain can be reduced. People seem to like to reduce to between 40% & 60%. The Tonepump Jr isn't as hot and the EMG Hz pickups are passive so this is less of an issue on the Far-East models...
  12. If you're not all on the same page then I'd sack the band off. Find driven, enthusiastic people and repeat...... hopefully with more success.
  13. Her first (& most famous) album was almost completely written (including bass parts) by the songwriting collective known as the Tuesday Night Music Club which featured Bill Bottrell, Kevin Gilbert (RIP) etc.... She has managed to take credit for it all and didn't even thank them on her Grammy speech. She doesn't have a great reputation thanks to this and a number of other similar events...
  14. The new Spector (now owned by Korg) line-up has been announced. Personally I'm a little disappointed that they didn't: 1) offer more Euro colour options as standard 2) offer a JJ pickup Euro 4 string 3) offer a Euro X (Spectorbird) model 4) offer a maple board Euro model Also, who the hell is Skyler Acord? And why does he deserve a signature model? However, I'm HUGELY gassing for a solid red gloss Euro classic.... and I like the new black & blue matte colour on the EuroLX. Will be interested to hear the Fishman loaded EuroLT too... https://bassmusicianmagazine.com/2020/01/spector-bass-model-updates-and-signature-models-for-namm-2020/
  15. Truth..... fantastic sounding preamp if you use it wisely/sparingly....!
  16. Add 'Stampede' in and you will have the 'awesome foursome'!
  17. I know organisations/places like the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame don't really count for anything - but it's still nice when a band who deserves more plaudits receives such worldwide recognition. Today, one of my all-time fave musical acts - 'The Doobie Brothers' were announced as 2020 inductees! Can't wait to see my good friend (and bass influence) Tiran Porter finally reunite with his old band for the induction ceremony/performance, along with other alumni including original drummer John Hartman and guitar legend Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter!
  18. The duck has to be Skin from Skunk Anansie.... and the Hedgehog could be Ed Balls....?
  19. Good bassist usually...... but not here... and utterly cringeworthy in his failed attempts to be funny.... Felt like I'd entered another weird dimension watching that.... Not sure what drug he'd been taking but he needs to lay off it...Ashdown must be..errr... thrilled at that promo... lol!
  20. Just looking at sending an amp in the UK and even with the discount applied it only comes in £1 under UPS Interparcel Premium.... so with a Euro-Sterling conversion fee likely to be added it works out approx the same.... :(
  21. Mods - Please delete
  22. Devastated. Probably the finest drummer ever and a helluva lyricist. Having read his books he'd been through so much tragedy... and now to lose his own life in such a horrible way is so shocking. RIP Neil & thanks for the wonderful music x
  23. Bass Guitar mags from 2017 issues 141 & 142-149 3 x Classic Rock magsfrom 2015 issues 212 - 216 Mesa/Boogie 2004 & 2010 catalogues Warwick catalogue (unknown year) Pick up from Woking/Guildford (Surrey) area.
  24. Not really, need to pay back a recent purchase.
  25. No idea - but being an original US made amp I'd guess at approx 10 years? It certainly hasn't had loads of use...
