[quote name='ead' timestamp='1437050463' post='2823143'] Not a song, but a moment in a song. And more hair on back of neck than asphyxiation...but in Firth of Fifth by Genesis there is a moment about a third of the way through when Steve Hackett comes in with the main guitar solo...just wonderful (ymmv, imho and other caveats apply). [/quote] Yes and Yes again! In fact thinking about it, the Seconds Out album still gets me with Afterglow, Firth of Fifth AND the Finale of Los Endos. A session listening to the whole album reduces me to a blubbering wreck!! And has done since 1977. And I must say, Wirebirds version of White rabbit tingled my spine also, nice work there Dave!

Oooooh a scandal! Do tell Kev. Saw Slade back in 74.....feck me they were loud!! Utterly brilliant too. Also saw Dave 'n' Don last year, still bashing out the good stuff I would have loved to meet Jim Lea too, was my earliest Bass hero, especially when I try to play Slade songs now and find out some of those bass lines weren't as simple as I thought!

And yes..silly hats [i]were[/i] the order of the day!!

Got the opening slot at local mini festival this afternoon http://cranfestuk.weebly.com/line-up.html Stage was a couple of flatbed trailers planked over, but the backline was all Marshall (just up the road) and the sound guys were def on the ball, making us sound great apparently. Had a whale of a time, and being 1st on even had the chance to soundcheck!

I'm a huge PF and Gilmour fan, but I wouldn't pay £1200 for any bass, not when I get my best sound out of a hundred quid Yamaha!

I've got mine on a P with flatwounds which seem to be higher tension than the rounds on my Squier, so no issues with floppiness for me either. I personally find it a handy piece of kit that hold both E and D tuning very well, instant flick between the two, sometimes even mid song!

Corner of the bed in the spare room where my practice gear is set up, can't sit in computer chairs as the arms get in the way! Talking of computers, what do you guys use to connect a bass into a PC, I have an iRig connector, but no software for a PC.

Liking the colour I have to say.

I watched a vid on youtube last night of Jon Anderson on a solo tour, he introduced 'Time and a Word' as a reggae tune he wrote in the 60's that the rest of the band point blank refused to do in that style! Makes you wonder what else has changed.......

Yup, watching The Who at Glasto last night, all the songs our band plays I spent listening to see what Pino was playing, the songs I didn't 'know' I enjoyed far more because I was just listening to the whole package.

Skank you are...as ever... my absolute hero!

Huge Yes fan as I am, I have to agree that the last 2 albums have been weak, and as noted in another thread, which included a Youtube clip from early this year, live they appeared to be struggling a bit. Please guys stop now, you have the best reason to with the loss of Chris.

Heard this yesterday, still a bit stunned, can't really express how I feel. Love my Yes music, love the way he made the bass stand out, never just a root note player, just the best. He may be gone, but we still have his legacy, excellent music.

Sort of a mute effect to stop open strings ringing out too much maybe?

Aye our rhythm guitarist has a tele tuned open G for Stones songs, still uses all 6 strings though, he hasn't removed to low E like wot Keef did!

Great band name....or maybe just an instruction to singer/lead guitar?

I think it must be a very localised MK thing, was playing in Buckingham last night.....not a dicky bird

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1434757663' post='2802688'] Not playing in Milton Keynes are you, Weststarx? That`s a popular heckle up there. [/quote] Yup to be honest, if no one said it at least once during any gig round this way, I'd miss it....probably end up shouting it meself!!
