  1. 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.

    Power Supply

    I ran my freeze out of the '9V outlet' on my Boss TU3 - silent. Everything else was daisy-chained.
  4. [quote name='Ruck' timestamp='1342718701' post='1739978'] hahaha love the FARTKE signature! thats exactly how i feel about Hartke [/quote] Erm, it's supposed to be a joke - I really like their kit, currently running an LH500 into a Hydrive 410 - brilliant.
  5. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!
  6. 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...
  7. I'm not a guardian reader, and neither is my wife.
  8. Currently on the 'bay, but it's cheaper on here.
  9. purty bass!
  10. 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...
  11. I've fitted a bridge cover on my "bitsa" Jazz bass and I love it. I use it as a cowbell!
  12. Dave Hall VT1EQ, bass in one end, iPod into the line input and headphones at my kitchen table. Simples
  13. [quote name='Walker' timestamp='1342619116' post='1737978'] God, I want this back so much... must resist [/quote] why? these things are ace balls!
  14. yeah, we've already apologised for Mick Hucknall, can we move on now?
  15. [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.
  16. What do you mean "at the moment"? It's always been good!
  17. [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.
  18. [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?
  19. I might still have the dots somewhere if you fancy a look?
  20. I used to enjoy "I Wish" and "Sir Duke", but not played them live for a good long while.
  21. [quote name='Kiv41' timestamp='1342357279' post='1733642'] Just back after a week away and no interest at all? [/quote] Loads of interest, but no money. I played a Wal Fretless (might have been a MkII) years ago and it was simply stunning. If I had the money I'd have this by now. Sadly it's way over my budget. Impoverished bump.
  22. Not been mentioned fora while, so here goes: "Moondance" (stands well back).
  23. tip for festival playing? tune up before you hit the stage, trust the sound engineer(s) to get it right, don't play when you're not supposed to - time is generally of the essence during change over between bands, so do it as quickly as you can. Be nice (sound man has probably got a much more difficult job than you) and polite, and have fun.
  24. [quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342498912' post='1736120'] How's the Weather? [/quote] typical English summer (rain) with scattered showers. Welcome on board Eljay.
