Are those Rickys quite weighty? I,ve never played one, but got the impression they are.

must be true then, you cant lie on ebay about things like that!!

Iron Maiden, Thompson Twins, UFO, Robert Palmer? All have songs called Doctor Doctor yer know

Youre not going to eat that are you??

He doesnt want to sell it? just as well, as none wants to buy it!!

Just recieved the Boss 4 Track recorder from Pete via recorded delivery. Very quick!! Kept me informed all the time cheers Pete, you cant go wrong with this bloke!!

It would have gone for a lot more if the seller offered to post it!

Original contour body I thought that was Jazz Basses??

I bought a strat copy from them about a couple of years ago, absolute bollocks!! the guitar was unplayable, the fretwire was so bad it cut my hands, and the strings wouldnt stay on the bridge saddles, let alone stay in tune!! I flogged it on ebay as an unplayable guitar with loaded body- good for parts!!

Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles from the album Revolver just has Sir Paul playing a high C note throughout the song!

Anyone remember the video to [b]you can call me al[/b] he was pretending to play bass to Chevy Chase IIRC

Yay! We need more bass players everyone wants to be a lead guitarist and stand at the front playing a 100 notes a second, but bass players are hard to find these days!!

I can sympathise coz I,ve been in the same boat! Having said that, Xmas was only two and a half weeks ago, so I wouldnt worry yet! Maybe you can text them again or maybe ring them. Give it another week or so and maybe text them saying something along the lines of "I havent heard anything from you guys so I assume you no longer need me?"

When I first started playing bass, I was emulating the Bruce Foxton - Jam sound as he was my hero at 17 years old, so I used a pick from day one. However, these days mainly play fingerstyle, but can still use a pick when the need arises. On the original version of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, John Mc Vie uses a pick on the bass on the famous F1 bit, but plays fingerstyle on everything else. If you ever get the chance to hear the live version, he plays it fingerstyle and TBH it sounds terrible It just doesnt cut through like the album version.
