Name of the Game - ABBA Saturday Night - Whigfield 'Boots' - Nancy Sinatra 'Killing an Arab' - The Cure

I love playing this. I like to use the open A string and double stop the keyboard part too. Always wanted to play it live, but never have done.

I absolutely love the look and sound of a Ric, they're iconic on both counts. I once borrowed a mid '70s Ric 4001 to record a song for an EP that I'd written - "Ric into an Ampeg half stack" I thought, that'll sound superb! And it did. Everything I wanted from both the bass and the amp. Couldn't get through a verse without fluffing it. Awful playability. I did it with a Jazz in the end, and have played them ever since. Them still purty, purty basses though.

I ran my freeze out of the '9V outlet' on my Boss TU3 - silent. Everything else was daisy-chained.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!

I played it years ago in a functions band, had a stab at it the other night on my fretless. Hmm, might need just a leeeeetle bit of work...

I'm not a guardian reader, and neither is my wife.

purty bass!

I love ABBA, but predominantly work in rock/prog styles. I've also got the first S-Club 7 album, it's actually pretty good, not as good as Erasure though...

I've fitted a bridge cover on my "bitsa" Jazz bass and I love it. I use it as a cowbell!

Dave Hall VT1EQ, bass in one end, iPod into the line input and headphones at my kitchen table. Simples

yeah, we've already apologised for Mick Hucknall, can we move on now?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1342558817' post='1737171'] I just fiddle about until I like what I hear but there must be a more methodical way of doing it? [/quote] Nope, whenever I'm building a bit of kit with knobs on I never put number values on the cover - just the knobs; if it sounds right, it is right.

What do you mean "at the moment"? It's always been good!

[quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1342554350' post='1737079'] Sounds like someone running a stick up and down some railings [/quote] LOL, it's funny 'cos it's true.

[quote name='pnefc42' timestamp='1342555046' post='1737094'] I'm really enjoying playing 'Sledgehammer' @ the mo with my 80s band - it's a great grooving line, simple but really tight. Our Singer really nails the vocal too. Always goes down well since being put in the set [/quote] A song composed almost entirely of 'win'. I assume by PNEFC you're in the North West? Any gigs anytime soon?

I might still have the dots somewhere if you fancy a look?

I used to enjoy "I Wish" and "Sir Duke", but not played them live for a good long while.
