[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1448369338' post='2914770'] The Sex Pistols in 76 (would have been 10/11 so little chance of that), The Jam, the original Hanoi Rocks, Guns N Roses. [/quote] I first saw the Jam in the Red Cow in Hammersmith 30p to get in , was late for school the next day and got detension.. Just missed the Pistols the end of 77. But did go to school with Viv Westwoods son. Hanoi Rocks a few times at the Lyceum. Edit, for the wrong venue.

Well, I saw him a good few times under different incarnations.. But when Joe Strummer played Province Rock here in Finland in 99 with the Mescalaros, would of been the last time I got to see him alive Regret not going.

And they said that the music in the 80's was carp! I'll add a couple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kzk1xZCiv8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKRJfIPiJGY

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1447959855' post='2911893'] I had been into Purple, Zeppelin, Sabbath and the usual mega bands until the night I saw the Pistols. I suppose my judgement was coloured by what I had seen before that night. The overall impression was one of chaos, which we had never seen before, but we all new this was it..... It's difficult to imagine now what it was like for a bunch 19 year old kids,40 years ago, to witness something that did not exist in their minds before that night.....it really cannot be explained... [/quote] Cool. I just missed them. Too young but started going to gigs in 78 at 14 years old

[quote name='jonnythenotes' timestamp='1447958832' post='2911880'] Sex Pistols..... Ability.... Zero..... Life changing.....overnight.... The most exiting thing I have ever seen, but still the worst band in terms of musicianship. Nothing was ever the same again after seeing them... [/quote] Really? I thought Jonesy and Matlock weilded a decent axe. Cook not bad at keeping time as well.

The Jesus and Mary Chain, played half a song threw down their instruments and strormed off for no apparent reason! (just to be cool or weird) Never understood it. I wasn't a fan but went with a girlfriend that was, I paid the entrance for both of us so felt cheated. Edit to say that was about 84-85 .

For the rock thing as well, Cliff Williams (AC/DC) is and always has been a strictly flats man on his Ray.

[quote name='hookys6stringbass' timestamp='1447354816' post='2907051'] The Yamaha BB range....vintage or modern you can't go wrong. [/quote] I'll agree with that as I just picked up my first BB (PJ) last week.. and I'm normally a P man

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1447352423' post='2907014'] I just sent this message to a Local mod: [i]It might be nice to have an 'In Memoriam' subforum. Known bass players and other sundry musicians have been dying quite a lot lately and neither General Discussion or Off Topic quite seem to do them justice.[/i] [i]Regards, Ben.[/i] [/quote] Good idea.

RIP Animal.

I know Forbes gets mentioned on here once in a while Just came across this with Big Country.. I enjoyed his awesomeness and thought I'd share. Not the greatest quality vid, but you get the Ampeg P- bass glory.. and flanger/phaser? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvOL3LPOPhY[/media]

Bought a pedal off Jordan. Good comms, arrived quickly well packed, safe and sound. Thanks.

Nice that you posted and congrats on all of those. I just joined the club and picked up my first ever Yami today in the form of a BB1025X.. Been playing it 7 hours straight and love it.

I bought a Yamaha BB bass off Luke. He was even kind enough to post it overseas. Great job on the parcel and wrapping. He sent the bass off the same day I paid. Outstanding. Great bass chatter. Thanks.

Just buy a crate of beer, 2 birds with one stone. Even the classiest places I have played use them to get the amps up

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1446729887' post='2901807'] Very interesting. Thank you. [/quote] Yes interesting, placebo in affect here, love my Gramma pad. Admitedly it just sits under the cab at rehearsal most of the time

Just hope your cabinet doesn't decide to do a dance. Nice idea but hate to be fumbling around on a dark stage trying to find them each time.

If Ididn't already have one I'd be joining in with the GAS. I don't use mine that much, but learned after selling one I need a Ray in my life.

Just caught this off SBL. Enjoyed the interview, I have a lot of time for Ed and the work he puts in for bassplayers. Was hoping Geoff would snatch the bass off him and show him how it's done [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns3U4z0VY-Q[/media]

Had Gas for A Yamaha BB1024/5 .. not anymore One day searching and luckily one came up on here.

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1446492985' post='2899831'] Can't say about the round wounds bu I put Fender Flats on my peavey as the shop was out of Picatos. The low E went "soggy" in a week. [/quote] If it's a decent place you bought them from they should change them if that's the case. In my experience the string companies are pretty good when you get a duff set. and the 7350's are ok imo.

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1446369830' post='2898769'] Same here. I love the thought of an extension cab, but can't think of any situation where I'd actually *need* one [/quote] You might be surprised how much more fill it gives to your sound, even at lowish volumes. A big plus is that it's also closer to ear height when stacked. In fact, I feel I miss something if I only take the combo, could be psudeo in play.
