Chris, great photo's mate. If they cost you nothing its even better. If you only use them to promote the band on venue flyers they are bound to draw interest.

Kiwi Just read you comments about the sound of you bass. I know you liked mine which is very similar to your's when you played it and mine has EMG's. Might be an option ? John

I decided not to renew my subscription this time. I'm happy with the gear I have and didn't find enough in it to keep me interested in the mag. Just my opinion though !

Phil Lynott Glenn Hughes Roger Glover But the daddy is Geddy. He's played a miriad of basses over the years and had different bass sounds, and none have been sh*te, and his bass lines have always been impeccable

Should be there this time. Gear list will include. Shuker 6 string headless Status S2 Classic 6 string headless Fender Jazz MIJ 75 re-issue Hartke HA 350 head Hartke 2.5 XL Cab Hartke 1x15 XL Cab

You can have all the theory you want, but if havnt got the ability to put it into practice, its a waste of time to a degree.

Another one to try is partysounds.co.uk I know they have listings of bands looking for bass players in that area

Geddy and Geezer. Geddy never plays anything simple, good innit !

I was at Jon's on the 22nd of December to pick my Fender Jazz that he'd worked on for me. I was dying to ask him for a look at Lil' Doodle and also Kiwi's bass, but I decided against it, if he'd offered though I would have taken him up on it. Can't wait to see these two. I played my Shuker 6er headless yesterday, it is sooooo sweet and by far the best Bass I have ever owned.

It was Phil Lynott and Glenn Hughes that inspired me to take up Bass ages ago. He was a good songwriter as well. I really need to get over the water to visit his grave and pay my respects. Thanks for the great tunes Phil.

Hi Jon I'm from Derbyshire as well. I think you can't go far wrong with a Squire Jazz, and a nice little practice combo for starters. Check out the Basses for sale section on the forum though, there are some decent bargains to be had there. Cheers John

[quote name='molan' post='360098' date='Dec 21 2008, 10:49 AM']Well worth a look on Sky if you like the Lizzy or are even intrigued as to what they were like live. Sound isn't the best and looks a bit out of synch (but my Sky+ sometimes does that anyway!). Also fun to see the opening few minutes with the truck arriving at the Rainbow & getting the gear set up. My favourite London large venue for many years. Saw loads of great gigs there. I go past it frequently and always feel that it seems such a waste to have it sitting there as a venue for a pretty obscure religious movement![/quote] Lizzy were the absolute best, Lynott was one of the best showmen ever and always had the crowd eating out of his hand whenever I saw them. Lynott and Glenn Hughes were the two most influential peole that got me to take up bass way back when. Nothing wrong with UCKG though !

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='358589' date='Dec 19 2008, 09:46 AM']But I lack the maturity to just say "not my cup of tea". When I heard that clip I honestly thought it was one of those comedy vids where its overdubbed by someone making random noise. It's so self-indulgent it makes me want to climb a bell tower with a high-powered rifle.[/quote] Not climb a bell tower and holler "Esmerelda"

[quote name='Tinman' post='356229' date='Dec 16 2008, 05:44 PM']Great stuff. Me and the clown are looking forward to it. [/quote] Thats you not getting anything for Xmas

[quote name='budget bassist' post='354266' date='Dec 14 2008, 03:03 PM']Cool, any particular day (sat or sun) or weekend good for you?[/quote] Saturdays the best for me, but I can do a Sunday if that's how it has to be.

I'm gonna try my best to make his one as well

I've never had any bother from anyone on Basschat. But I do have some general golden rules. 1 is I never buy anything if I can't try it. 2 No bass gear I buy is sent to me through the post, I always collect, or if needed meet up with the seller half way between their home and mine, it only normally costs a little more in fuel that the post cost would be anyway, and I get my new purchase NOW !. 3 I don't buy ANYTHING from e bay over £50, too many rip off tales. Also if I'm selling anything I will offer to meet halfway with the buyer so that he can see the goods. All this restricts me a bit in terms of what I can buy / sell, but it works for me.

I've got to say that my Shuker 6 is unbelievable in terms of build quality, playability and wow factor, its got side LED's and totally exceeded my expectations. Jon built it exactly as I wanted it. It was a long wait but well worth it. For the spec, it was very cheap as well.

I've got a S2 headless 6 if thats any good, you are welcome to try that.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='321911' date='Nov 4 2008, 04:23 PM']The bass to the far left in JohnGH's pic is a Status-Graphite S2-Classic bolt-on six in satin cocobolo. I've loved that bass ever since he got it! May get a similar one next year.[/quote] You are absolutely bang on, I had it made earlier this year. Sorry for not getting back Fumps, I've been away a couple of days. The Status with the green LED's has been sold.

Just found a photo of my Headless wonders.

I have 2 - 6 string headless basses and they are brilliant, one Shuker, the other Status. They both look and sound great.
