[quote name='bilbo230763' post='351928' date='Dec 11 2008, 04:49 PM']My point was that the suggestion that a handful of high profile female pop bassists are carrying a flag for feminism in contemporary music fails to acknowledge the dozens of classical and jazz players out there who have been solid working professionals for decades. I know of one female friend who wanted to play the double bass but was told by a male d/b player that women couldn't play it because it was too physical - I'd like to meet the guy who told her that . Of course some of these players that are being discussed are perfectly credible bass players and are probably very capable but my point was simply that the 'phenonmenon' of a female bass player should not be seen as a novelty anymore than a female doctor, dentist, solicitor, judge..... For the record, I think discussions about 'female' anything are chauvanistic and indicative of a patriarchal attitude to women and to what they can achieve. PS Jazz is superior - its not my fault![/quote] I would hate you to meet my dad. he's 87. fought the Japanes in the 2nd world war and has medals and he's a lovley person. yet without realising it he's a Fascst, racsist. dislikes gays. and thinks women belong in the kitchen.he's from a generation thats slowly dissapearing. but those views are always going to be around. my post was'nt to belittle women bass players. the one in the youtube vid is a better player than me ans she can also sing as well.

Maybe not the best, but worth watching.

Thats nice. to near xmas for me or the mrs would sever an appendage, one of mine that is. Its always the case when you have the dosh there's nothing around.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='347897' date='Dec 7 2008, 02:52 PM']Yeh, a Hayman 4040. I had one of these in the early '70s and it was a very nice bass as I recall. Bought brand new for £155 (I think I still have the receipt somewhere!!) That's me with the Hayman at the East London Festival (c.1973/4). My bass rig behind me was an HH IC100 head and a HiWatt 2x15 bass bin (a big old bugger! ). Incidentally, can anyone recognise the bit of backdrop in the left of the picture and what (Prog rock) album cover it comes from? [/quote] I think it might be the cover from Emerson lake and Palmer. but i could be wrong.

He looks like he could sell me some life insurance. i now feel a righr scruff playing in jeans and a tshirt.

We played a pub called the Beehive in Chester. They seemed to like it loud so we obliged. had a great night and a few compliments and promise of a return gig. we had an odd character who plonked himself down on a chair a few feet from the band and stayed there all through the two sets, and the end of the night he got up and went. odd. Now with some pics. there was more than two people, honest!

Unless i'm reading it wrong, its the actual bass that used to belong to Mark King thats for sale.

After our final gig this year which is the the twentieth of Dec we are collectivley going to ask our singer to leave. i'm not looking forward to it but it has to be done. we are constantly being told when our guitarist sings we are a good band but the sings is s..t. we/i are always looking to improve musically so i guess i'm always going to move stuff on and buy something else. when, really as a pub band the stuff i had a while back was all i needed.

Not a bad price And look where it is, thats the way my lucks going at the moment.

Rockinbetter's are made by Tokai then. i wondered who made them.

20Ft wooden Ladder. not too bad a condition, no rungs. pick up only. could be antique.

To me the back of the neck and headstock dont look nearly fifty years old, but i could be wrong.

Blimey. Victor Brox. he's still going!. he must be about ninety odd now.

Sound Control and Music ground in Manchester are it seems Warwick retailers. [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/distribution/distribution.php?katID=14556&&cl=EN"]http://www.warwick.de/modules/distribution...&&cl=EN[/url]

There's plenty of stuff about Neil Landon on the Net. doubt wether he's going to make much selling those pics. maybe he's the one who never made it. and then again maybe i'm a cynic.
