I get it when I think too hard about what I'm playing. Normally muscle memory takes over and I'm fine, but sometimes, if the gig isn't exactly going down a storm, I drift off and go into autopilot, thinking about what I'm doing the next day or whatever, then I suddenly remember I'm playing a gig with people watching me, and I go totally blank and forget where I am in the song.

I'd come and see that, I like a bit of the Mac. Nice one, always good when it goes to plan, or even better than the plan. SW is a bit far for me though, maybe when I'm down there on hols.

I loved my H1 Jazz, but I modded it a lot, and never really did get the action down very low at all. It was a pub gig workhorse, and not the easiest player ever. My Schecter Model T was fab. A bass I wish I still had. Lovely finger funk over the bridge pup, nice and poppy, and a nice thump from the neck pup. Good bass. L2000, fantastic basses, end of. If [i]I[/i] was spending £700, and actually I might be, I also would think about another Stingray, although I've had two before, and sold them, so I have to ask myself why. Mainly down to the missing G on both of them.

My ESP Horizon has a beautiful ebony board, and my Ibanez Gary Willis has an ebanol board. I love the look, feel and tone from ebony, it's by far my favourite fretboard timber.

Smart. I fancied one of those Hofners myself.

Big fan here too. She has a very fluid style, and makes it look effortless. One of the grooviest players alive IMO, Plantation lullabies is always in my car. Click on "Expensive sh*t" from this link: [url="http://www.freemyheart.com/we_funk.html"]http://www.freemyheart.com/we_funk.html[/url]

It [i]did[/i] happen, pics will follow at some point here and on finnbass.com

Me....I don't give a monkey's what any artist writes about themselves in any way shape or form. I judge music with my ears not with my eyes. Having seen Jeff play and speak live, I enjoyed his music and I enjoyed what he had to say on the night. The same [i]for me[/i] goes for anyone. I don't have to know anything about them as a person, if I like the music, that's all I need to know.

That's awesome, the cake [i]and[/i] the bass. Happy birthday sir.

Buy with confidence.

That's beautiful.

Colin Moulding......and JJ Burnel of course.
