Oh that's not so good. Someone else told me similar and not to sell my Mpulse in case i didnt like the TT800 which is different. Maybe i need to have a rethink. Dave

Just sold my old Porsche and about to put my order in to Andertons for a TT800 amp, 210 & 115 cabs. Amp and 115 cabs are on a 3mth delay (end of June) but that's ok. Not gigging till Oct. Listened to loads of youtube clips on all of the kit and also the 215 cab but i've settled on the 210 / 115 combination which historically was always my favoured option when i bought custom cabs. Just a wee thanks to you and a few others on BC that bought Mesa gear and always give great advice. I was caught between the TT800 & WD800 amps to be honest but i like the idea of being able to switch between the 2 channels for different sounds. Dave 👍

That's nice but not sure i want an album of orchestral backing. I prefer to hear her with a band. Dave

VID unavailable ? where's it gone I've only recently listened to Joni Mitchell with the Wild Things Run Fast album. Not Jaco on bass but its an amazing album. I can see me buying more of her albums. Altho i respect and appreciate Jaco i wouldn't buy an album just because he's on it. The album needs to stand on its own merit and not because it has famous musicians. Dave

That was nice. Quite like the tone from those Xotic basses.

I'd never really noticed that before but agree no point with this one. Dave

Yep original with Gabriel was bass pedals up to Willow Farm at circa 10mins when Rutherford takes on the bass. In fact Hackett, Rutherford and Banks were all playing acoustics for a lot of the 10mins. Yep you are spot on there Rob. 1982 version was bass pedals at start as well with left hand low piano added possibly for definition. Dave

I actually have the Seconds Out music book fully autographed by Genesis at that time witha few wives as well. Its been a while since listening to it but from memory back in 80's there was a bass played thru the song but maybe it was doubled up on keys. There are def bass pedals in there but i'm pretty sure Rutherford doubled up with the bass too. Wonder if the original version might be better to distinguish bass part. I'll have a wee listen just now. If its bass pedals and keys its pointless doing it i would think. Dave

How's about Genesis Suppers Ready ? Dave

Bought my wife a pair of those for her tablet and i was more than impressed with them. Dave

There's still a few basses i'd like to have but its not the end of the world for me but more a "nice to have". I do however have severe gas for Mesa TT800 + Subway 210 & 115 bass rig and that's my main Gas at moment. Plan is underway to fund it. Dave

Oddly enough that was another VID i was going to post but i found the slap a little too much for me and went for the Aram one. This clip is borderline for me as he maintains a basic melody thru most of it. I get the feeling he's slapping as its his best style for showing off and he could probably have got the same effect with less slap. I quite like him as he uses a few different styles but still too much slap for my liking. What he's doing here works for him in this scenario where he's basically showcasing himself. Just my opinion of course

I'm not a huge fan of slap either but i like it on occasion in certain parts of songs. I have a huge respect for those bass players that can do it properly. There's no doubt it takes a lot of work to master it and at the same time make it entertaining. I dont like to hear it when its just rapid slap and pop with no tune or melody of any kind. I enjoy this style of slap. Its melodic to my ear and just easy to listen to.

Enjoyed that but do wonder if the drummers name is Rocky. 😂

I got my Sandberg VM4 from Mark at Classic & Cool and it arrived very well packed. I'd definitely buy from Mark again. Dave

Ok i see what you mean. I'll stick to my cash on collection.😀

I'm a bit naive when it comes to these things and always ask for cash on collection unless thru BC but how does the scam work with this. ? If he pays you on Paypal then his courier picks it up after payment whats the scam part ? Serious question as i dont want to be caught by it. Dave

Think originally i was looking for either a 4000 or 4001. General 4000 series. If i remember right the 4001 was generally active but there are many examples where 4000 were active and vice versa with 4001's passive. 4000 normally had the small pick up surround too. Dave

Shame i cant play it unless i take on a free Spotify subscription. I have a sneaky suspicion i might actually have an account. 😁 I did and all sorted. Dave

That's amazing @Dood. First i've seen it. Some great songs and basslines, Dave

If doing it on a general radio show i'd go for bassists that majority of people might recognise or hit songs that have amazing bass lines. Bassists like these that your audience will initially recognise the songs and you can explain who the bass player is. Pino Palladino - Wherever i Lay my Hat John Deacon - Another One Bites the Dust Bakitho Kumalo - You Can Call me Al. ( probably not a bassist most people will recognise the name but the song was a huge hit) I guess it will depend on what type of audience you have. Dave

Depends on the shop taking the trade. I've had deals that were good and others that were ridiculous and an insult. Personally i'd sell privately either on here or try Facebook Marketplace but only do cash on collection to save any issues. Also Gumtree and finally i might try ebay as a last resort. BC for sale page is the place to go as you'll get an honest interest from a fellow BC'er. Dave
