the first few series were incredible. I don't really watch TV now but any time I've seen the show there has been one band that I've really enjoyed and often that I've never heard of before.

The space between the bridge saddle and the end of the fingerboard is your playground. Use it all.

I am often plucking over the fretboard too. A soft run of the open E string and it's a wonderful far cushion for the guuraist to lay on.

I'm not sure that's true. The EQ on a bass amp or preamp is designed for a bass guitar whereas the desk EQ is very much general purpose.

It is being operated by someone sitting in a good position to be able to judge what is needed and hopefully with the experience to make it work. If not you are screwed anyway. Give yourself a sound on stage that will make you play well and leave the thinking to the other bloke :-D
Just thought of this one.
Left to right in the picture. Steve White (Style Council,Paul Weller), Damon Minchella (Ocean Colour Scene, Paul Weller, The Who), Ant Lockyer (who????).

As I may have mentioned before on here ....... we had Lee Pomeroy, Donavan Hepburn and a couple
more guys from Jeff Lynne's ELO come to see our ELO tribute band last year. They came up to meet us as we
were packing down after the gig. Lee had a go on my Precision Lyte, and was a top fella.
Glad I hadn't seen him until the end of the gig or else would have freaked.

My drum teacher some years back was Gregg Bissonette and one night we went to see a Van Halen tribute and he sat in for a couple (hot for teacher being one IIRC).
People I've played with recently include Dennis Greaves of Nine Below Zero and....
wait for it...
Charlie Grima the drummer in Wizzard who was on holiday the day they recorded "I wish it could be Christmas everyday"
