How is that even played???? Awesome stuff, completely beyond my comprehension.......amazed!

Just measured my Jazz, 4mm at 12th fret, and I still get a bit of buzz, best tweak the neck I think. The EB3 has just under 3mm and sounds awsome!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1341150692' post='1714307'] I'm with skankdelvar on this. [/quote] Me too, gutted at no mention of the mouse organ!!!

'kinnell!! noice!

Made my evening, Gail Anne playing guitar threw me, until I figured the guy was slapping! Loved the 'live' take of Jean Genie where TB came in too early on the chorus...or rather, Bowie came in late lol!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1340189312' post='1700575'] BTW, which poster is it that lists names? The only one I got was the double-sided one with the angel on one side and the SMPTe-type blimp on the other... [/quote] I got two posters, the other one, also double sided, has a huuuge list of names on one side, and the iconic CA band shot on the other [IMG]http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l527/Mkuk0/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0135.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l527/Mkuk0/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0136.jpg[/IMG]

Yup if you do it at the start, you just learn the song once Just remember to retune back to standard after lol!

Couple of Thin Lizzy songs we do I just detune my 'E' string half a step, takes seconds, usually covered by singer waffling between songs, a lot quicker and easier than retuning whole bass, or swapping for a 2nd one.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1339960091' post='1696879'] +1. 'twas ever thus. Favourire bass line tho'.... Now that's a poser. At the moment Andy Fraser on Creepin'. But that's just cos I 'm going thru a bit of a Free phase. [/quote] mmmm Mr Big........bass solo...run for the hills!!!

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1339958690' post='1696840'] I love this track. I didn't realise that they had a Bez though. [/quote] Hahahahaaha, thats John Evan normally played keys, but not much on that song!

Indeed, went back in April, Peter, the guy who put it together is an absolute goldmine of info re the man, and lived next door to him as a child! the stuff he has collected is impressive, but to me it was talking to Peter that was the buzz, tales and memories,he sure has the Blarney!!

Jethro Tull, Living In The Past does it for me, now THERE's a bassline that holds a song together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoE5kGMUpcg

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I didn't realise my mate was looking to get one for his brother who learned to play on one back in the day, as a suprise prezzie, I think he is gonna pull the trigger

Steve Hackett/Genesis Firth of Fifth....absolutely sublime. This clip is from a solo set though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLTlAnVUx3A

A mate of mine has been offered a Westone Thunder III for just under 300 quid and is asking me if thats a good price, I HAVE NO IDEA!! In you infinite wisdom gents..waddya think? I believe it was made in Japan in the early 80's Thanks

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1339501297' post='1689299'] I find a simple "Thanks, it is easier than I make it look" followed be a chuckle or two usually works well. [/quote] I'm gonna nick that mate, great answer! looking at most of the comments it seeme we bass players are def the most self depracating member of a band.....but then.. we all knew that anyway didn't we....

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1339138925' post='1684119'] Our drummer has a volume pot glued to the bass drum. That's what passes for drummer humour. [/quote] I bet its stuck on 11 though!!! Our drummer just brings the right kit for the right gig(hopefully) Mind you he has 18 to choose from!!!!!!...starngely enough he is always skint!

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1339168557' post='1684819'] That's not a bass. It's a piano. [/quote] I Lolled!
