I did a feature on GG's guitar collection for Guitar & Bass mag in 2009 and it wasn't one he chose to exhibit. In fact he said he much preferred Jazz Basses.

Bloody marvellous!

I used to work on the History of Rock! 1981 to 1984 so you are nearly right. Who these days would publish a partwork that took three years to complete? We had Charles Shaar Murray and all queueing up to write for it!

Hey Felix! Apart from you having the name of a musical hero of mine, I too play a Seventies sunburst Pre (71)... Whereabouts do you operate and does your band have a website? Regards Mick

Not my cup o' tea but she and her band were/are good at what they do and there's musicianship involved. Which will do for me. If you aren't interested, scroll on...

I got a bog standard Samson bug. Does the job, Precision sounds fine. [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=145&brandID=1"]http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...5&brandID=1[/url]

[quote name='bumnote' post='1043512' date='Dec 1 2010, 10:59 AM']I sold my Japanese 51 reissue because I found the lack of forearm chamfer uncomfortable.[/quote] I had one of those too Nigel, and found a similar problem. Mind you my waistline is bigger than yours! Enjoying the Squier CV 50s P, which fits in all the right places. But rehearsal tonite called off due to snow - damn it!

I bought the bass the pickup was once in (I think!). Again, a top man and someone who knows his basses. A pleasure to meet.

I've got a 1215 and it's fantastic!

Drummer Pugwash (John Weathers) is a mate. Needs a zimmer to get around now due to degenerated spine but still cheerful.

Last night we played a long, 2 1/4 hour set in a very cramped pub. I was more or less on top of the kit, not very comfortable for a six footer. About half an hour from the end I thought my drink had been spiked! The whole band sound seemed to get louder and less distinct at the same time. I could no longer pick out my bass lines from this noise and basically played 'by feel'. It was a really disorienting experience. My ears now (next day) feel quite tender but no ringing sound, thank god. Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? I know for sure I'll be taking earplugs to my next one next Saturday.

Hello mate! You'll have fun here. I'd not take advice from ol' Rossi - he kicked out the bass player early doors!

As per my sig, I have played medium size venues and not needed to go thru the PA, nor turn up over half. V heavy to transport, but really do a job.

Sorry Chris, no 'experience' but a NR story. I had to interview him (by phone from Ireland) a few years before his passing and asked him what he thought of the 'new' (ie latest) Hendrix box set to have come out. It's all right, he said. So you've got one? Yeah - I called up the record company and it arrived yesterday. The postman charged me £20 COD...
