    Certainly not. Use it for some punch in 70's Glam band. But yes it will hang on the wall beside my other toys when not in use. Dave

    Thank you guys. I'm watching it now. Currently at £160 and i've just today sold my DMX lighting rig so could be good to go. Not much in these basses so an easy fix i reckon. Appreciate the heads upas i had given up on finding one that fitted my needs. Dave

    Just sold my full DMX lighting rig to John. Great transaction, no hassle and did exactly what he said he would do. Drove 2.5hrs each way to pick it up, in not very nice weather. Looked over the kit, instant bank transfer. Both John and Pete really nice guys and came with proper Covid gear (masks and gloves). Wish all transactions were this good. Highly recommend dealing with John anytime. Thanks again John & Pete Hope the drive home was enjoyable. Dave

    Think your post might have copied the wrong message for your comment @Steve Soar. They don't seem related. I might be wrong and just not follow your thinking ? Dave

    It doesn't make you a bad person Dave

    I didn't know that. I just make up my own little stories in my head. The voices tell me what to think Dave

    Yes standard Sandnerg pick ups in mine And i quite like them. Never heard the Black Labels but @Cuzzie swears by them and he's my font of all Sandberg knowledge and was a huge help to me when i first started looking at Sandbergs. He did also stress that its all down to personal taste. I play in a 70's Glam covers band so the VM4 covers everything from Alice Cooper thru Sweet, Mud, Slade and even Bay City Rollers and it's pretty versatile. Its also a comfortable bass to play for extended sets due to weight and neck feel. Some basses i get cramp if playing too long but not with the VM4. Bass and amp run almost flat with pick up selector mid point. Amp runs with bass just a touch boost mid a touch cut and treble a touch boost. (Mesa Mpulse 600 into Mesa 212 cab) Bass if anything during certain gigs i might give the bass a little extra nudge but not much. Turning to full P pick up it gives a good typical P sound IMO. Never compared against a Fender P bass. Think for me i would like to try a Maple fretboard version as i tend to prefer the tone from them. They have a little more zing than the rosewood type. Again that's just personal preference.. Hope that helps a bit. I'd suggest trying them in Guitar Guitar if you can. Dave

    Oddly enough that's how i listen to Yes lyrics. More as a melody than a storyline. When i was young i was able to imagine all sorts of weird and wonderful stories behind the lyrics but i guess that was Wonderous Stories Dave

    I never took to Tony's solo albums either. I couldn't really put my finger on why. Its been many years since listening to them but from memory i think i found the songs a bit samey. Might need to have another listen now that i'm a bit older and more mellow. Dave

    You'll get a VM4 but it won't have the Black Labels as standard. Can't say i've seen one fitted with them. Its the VM4 i have and its a fantastic bass to be honest. A good condition VM4 2nd hand will typically cost £1000 upwards. Mine was £1200. Not sure what you paid for your VS4 but additional £500 to get the bass exactly as you want it doesn't seem so bad. Of course you could sell the VS4 to help finance the VM4. Some hard decisions needed i think but good luck with what you decide on. Dave

    That's very nice. 👍

    I believe they based their hit songs on a Yes rhythm.

    Yep that's the door just opened. They will grow on you more and more. Dave

    Very nice Karl and at that price a super bargain. I can vouch for the quality of gear you pass on. If i was looking for a new bass i would be down for a cuppa now that you're a bit closer to me GLWTS should go soon now that Xmas is coming soon. XMAS SPECIAL maybe Dave

    Interesting. Curious to see what happens now that you've mentioned it Dave

    Have been listening to the Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited Album last few days and i'm quite enjoying it. Suppers Ready for me is a very good rendition of the original or my preferred version from Seconds Out. Worth a listen. Wasn't so keen on the 1st Revisited album. Looking at the Albert Hall live version where amazon short clips allow you to get an idea of how the album sounds Dave

    Great band and all really nice guys too I really enjoyed XXV Dave
  23. dmccombe7
    I get it now. Good explanation. I seem to do that without really thinking about it. Dave
  24. dmccombe7
    I remember those days very well. Several bands felt like i was in a Guitar and friends band. Dave

    Good description. I'm quite able to run thru songs without a drummer altho i do take some signals from him during guitar solos but i usually count the bars during them anyway. Dave
