Kenny Passarelli first to use fretless bass?
Mr Fudge replied to Annoying Twit's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1279415' date='Jun 23 2011, 10:01 AM']Was Kenny wearing the same trousers as he had on at the Newcastle City Hall gig? What a pair of troosers. Magnificent.[/quote] The answer to this question is definately YES! They were indeed a magnificent pair of trousers. The inside leg measurement ia 18 inches I believe. -

Mr Fudge replied to Annoying Twit's topic in General Discussion
I saw KP play bass for Stephen Stills a few years ago. I shook Stills' hand at the end of the gig. A very memorable night. Kenny did mention that his knob was as big as Heathrow Airport. -
Never had fret less GAS ... until now.

Oh, and Mr Fudge, I would enjoy your whole show, I would shout for more, and then you would play ELO at me, and I would get huffy and walk out. [/quote] I know what you mean. ELO/ Queen/ Eagles et al ... fantastic songs, musicians, production but I really would not be bothered if I never heard or played anything by them ever again. Hopefully our "Vision On" Outro would negate too much huffyness.

I am no expert but there is some great general info here ithat you probably already know. I have a 62RI neck on one of my jazzes and I just used a screwdriver. Con't know how faithful the RI necks are though tbh. [url="http://garywillis.com/pages/bass/bassmanual/setupmanual.html"]http://garywillis.com/pages/bass/bassmanual/setupmanual.html[/url]

[quote name='Beedster' post='1263982' date='Jun 10 2011, 02:48 PM']Not sure if I'm meant to, but I'm going to have a damn good laugh at that [/quote] I think I know what i meant ... but couldn't say it. I think what I meant to say is this looks such a great bass I would shelve my Jazz gas to pick up this P bargain, if it's as great as other Jap stuff I have played. Please remember I am from West Bromwich ...

After years of only playing Jazzes I bit the bullet and bought a 2010 Jetglo from Paulie (fantastic bloke to deal with) in January. I had played 3/4 in Guitar Guitar in Brum in the preceding months, sometimes loving them and sometimes not. Paulie assured me that his immaculate 2010 Jetglo was a real pick of the litter and boy was he right. This bass is fantastically well built. 6 months into my ric I am still struggling with the balance a little bit and it is not as fast as my skinny neck Jazz basses (not that that matters) but it is a fantastic bass and has changed my approach to playing again, which I feel is a positive. It is great for more melodic stuff and the tone sits great within a band to "add to that wall of sound" with tracks with strings etc.. Previously I decided I hated P basses. Tone too bland, neck too wide. I tried a Lakland the other day and loved it. I think I now get it about the P and as a result have major gas for one, possibly vintage As a result I take my Jazz and Ric to gigs and give both of them a rum out.

Not a Jazz .. but this looks a cracker for a first bass/ serious quality upgrade. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127715&st=0&gopid=1263751&#entry1263751"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;#entry1263751[/url]

The Band were magnificent. I have some footage of Danko playing "Unfaithful Servant" on acoustic guitar, spine chilling. Garth is God. I have Classic Albums, the band on video. I have rewound the sections where Garth is interviewed countless times. WoT, I'm not sure which of those lovely ladies is your missus but I would defo have a cropped picture of just me and Garth had I had such pleasure in meeting the great man himself. The Last Waltz is a must watch. I look forward to reading through the links. Thanks for posting

Anybody going to see Geddy and friends next month??
Mr Fudge replied to Bobby K's topic in General Discussion
Saw them in Brum last Sunday. Fantastic as always. I think the fretted Jaco bass would be my dream bass.
