I always quite liked 'The Clitoris Allsorts'

I'll be interested to try/hear these. I love my new GK Legacy800 and get plenty of growl from it. I can't see how these are going to sound any better for what I personally need... I'm guessing they probably just have more overdrive on tap? Regardless, being GK, they will sound excellent - of that I have no doubt!

Sold my lovely Kramer bass to Dave. Instant payment and clear communications. Enjoy, mate!

You're all forgetting the number one rule of Basschat: "Don't talk about Ba..... " Oh dammit! Now you've made me do it....." But seriously, it's generally a fine place full of fine folks with a high tolerance level for each others musical & personal tastes. A perfect example is that, although I have no love for W*rw*ck, I did play a reasonably good one.... Once.... 😁 There, point proven.

You said earlier it was 10lb 9oz

This would however sound MUCH better sung by Peter Cetera...... it's a straight songwriting rip of the Peter Cetera & David Foster style from Chicago 16 & Chicago 17 albums!

Sounds familiar. I was in (& managed) a well known tribute for 26 years and shared the social media control with my fellow founding member. We agreed many times that, when either of us decided to call it a day, the band would fold so as not to dilute our hard earned excellent reputation or confuse venues/fans etc. If the other person still wanted to continue then the band could change its name and find a replacement member. Sadly, haven given months of notice, the day after I played my final show I was ejected from the band page & blocked.... and the band continued on with the same name. 26 years of supposed friendship & loyalty gone overnight - and this guy was even Best Man at my wedding. Oh well, seems loyalty counts for nothing.... and his speech was shite tbh! lol! I'm pleased to say that the 2 other (non-founding) band members then jumped ship leaving him having to make replacements for 3 of us. The new version now play to half the audiences and gig reports suggest they aren't anywhere near as good or authentic. Karma is a beach... especially as I'm now out doing bigger and better gigs with superior musicians & singers Onwards and upwards.... living well is the best revenge!

With thanks to @EBS_freak for the advice.... I've just made my entry into the murky world of IEMs! LD MEI1000 wireless with KZ-AS10 5-driver earpieces.... all for under £280! Looking forward to trying these at our theatre gig in a fortnight's time 🙂

I saw the fantastic 'Young Gun Silver Fox' last night at Nells (formerly The Orange) in West Kensington. Sold out show, singing and dancing audience, happy & smiling band, soulful vocals & harmonies, Fender Rhodes, funky horn section, bouncy 70's/early 80's west coast grooves and a bassist with killer tone that could be heard in a great mix - wonderful!! If you like what they now term 'yacht rock' - i.e. Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald-era Doobie Bros, Steely Dan, early Chicago, E,W&F etc then check them out!

Enjoy! Got mine a few weeks ago and LOVING it!

Sadly, it sounds to me that your issue was communication with the sender and the dimensions you paid for/failed to inform them of.... :(

Yay!!! Happy NOBD! So glad you got it back...... and looks like a beauty :) Enjoy!

That's what HE was earning...

So, the Operational Assurance team I work on at PRS has just nailed one of our (now ex-)colleagues for financial fraud and sent him to prison for 2 years! Result Naughty boy.... he won't do that again, but it proves that my team do their job well 😉 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/exopera-house-horn-player-stole-185000-in-royalties-for-home-revamp-a4287026.html

Low action, fresh roundwound strings, heavy finger or pick attack and plenty of hi-mids. Don't scoop the mids - it may sound good in your bedroom but you'll disappear onstage. GK, Hartke & Darkglass are good amp choices....

Stanley Dee at Half Moon, Putney on Sunday night..... and then Corduroy at the Holroyd, Guildford on Fri 15th Nov. @Merton - you coming?

Thanks to my new GK endorsement I've just received one of the first GK Legacy800's to hit the UK! Can't wait to give this amp a good workout thru my 2x12. It sounded great when I demo'd it a few weeks back.... 😉 Also picked up an SKB 12x12 soft case to carry it in 🙂

The legendary Brian Downey (ex Thin Lizzy drummer) and his 'Live & Dangerous' show at Camden Underworld on Thursday night.

I have a large number of signature basses, but then I have an even larger number of basses!! Most of them I own because they are excellent instruments and hit the spot with me. Only one or two have I purchased for 'authenticity' because of the tribute band I was involved with or just fancied one. Used to have: Fender Geddy Lee Jazz, Washburn Pat badger and Fender Duff McKagan. Jazz was just a classic Jazz.... Washburn I bought, didn't get on with and sold for double the price.... and the Fender I bought before they brought a sig model out. Currently have: Spector 'Ian Hill' Euro, Spector 'Rachel Bolan' Euro, Jackson 'Kip Winger', Peavey 'Rudy Sarzo' & 'Randy Jackson', ESP 'Masayoshi Yamashita', Cort 'Gene Simmons AXE' & 'Gene Simmons Punisher'. A great bass is a great bass.

6ft 2" I used to be 6ft 9" in Gene Simmons monster stack heeled boots in my KISS tribute days...
