Did this ever go to the tip?

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1434490895' post='2800220'] Anyone tried Lonnie Liston Smith's Expansions? Never dared give it a try - sounds terrifying. [/quote] It's one riff. It's fairly easy and a nice one to play around with. Give it a go!

'1960 What?' by Gregory Porter. 4 notes. Repeated for 6 minutes.

Our Trombonist is in Northampton...... £45 eh?

Pretty sure this is a Satellite, though the bridge is the same used on Yamaki-made basses (were Satellites made there?) 2 Hours to go and £50 - might make a good doer-upper!

Might make a really nice bass!

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1431304734' post='2769858'] I still have a hard time dealing with the fact that you guys in the UK play 2 hour bar gigs and for us here in the States it's 4 hours. Blue [/quote] We do 3 1/2 to 4 hours hour sets at some of our residencies but it's treated mostly as background music and we throw in some loooooooooong instrumentals.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1429312576' post='2750456'] This topic reminds me of gloomy Sunday by Billie holiday. Ot got banned from several countries as hundreds of people were commuting suicide. Quite an interesting but sad story behind it [/quote] Bit of an urban legend that one.

Gig went pretty well, though it had promised to be a car crash, with no time for us to rehearse the set together. Anyway, afterwards I was asked to join a Snarky Puppy tribute band! Yes!

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1388629518' post='2324266'] I was a fan of the '96 production at the Lyceum. Steve Pearce on the soundtrack (poss in the live show too)- the cast were phenomenal. Google may prove otherwise but Steve Balsamo was Jesus (great rock voice- superb head voice) and Zubin Varla was an epic Judas- completely disturbed and uncomfortable with himself. Brilliant show in its opening weeks. Loved the show ever since I played a semi-pro production in my late teens. [/quote] I was in college with Steve Balsamo and was in a production of JCSS with him - great singer!
