[quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1349945056' post='1832452'] I did change the white scratch plate for a grey tort one, the tone , response, intonation, sustain, output, coolness were all much improved.

My last band: bass, drums, singer, keyboards (no gtr, mind) I fondly remember: Mother's Finest: Baby Love Sting: Set Them Free best, bert

Enter Norwegian bassist Maya Vik: [attachment=120626:Maya Vik m bass 978x550.jpg] or is it better without the bass? [attachment=120627:Maya_Vik_84726216x9.jpg] best, bert

Hi Skinnyman, You made the right choice indeed, and I mean BC, not EB, SG or unmentionable RB, though of course those are right choices in their own right. Boy I need to learn to put things into words differently. I can confirm Telecaster enemas do not last, and are counterindicated as well. In expensive private clinics, one uses pointy things like Dean guitars or the occasional Cort Gene Simmons Axe. You're welcome. Anyway, enjoy! best, bert

Veronica Maggio: "Jag kommer". Swedish pop the way I like it. Also music I'd love to play the bass to in my own band, simple as it may be. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjZwz3yxS9I[/media]

Hi Bassmoof, Welcome to the site! I like the idea of another Grabber being rescued. Good luck with that. Enjoy! best, bert

Hi Kai, Stay around and you'll learn a lot. I know I do. best, bert

[quote name='sime17' timestamp='1349548836' post='1827679'] back to the original one and then going - 'yeah that's it - perfect!' [/quote] Oh yeah! That's a classic, that one. I find it especially funny with classicalish singers who get parts that are written for the standard ranges, and thusly normally should fit them. best, bert

Yup! In the column to the left of the listing, under the Location heading, you can check the "UK only" box. best, bert

Oh, and learning a keyboard instrument. Main instrument, keyboard, and drums. BLISS! best, bert

Yes, it is. I will be doing it myself in some thirty years from now. Watch this space. I seriously believe playing the drums as well as you can in addition to a musical instrument (couldn't hold myself) is one of the best things to do. At any rate, one normally won't play the main instrument any more than 5 or 6 hours a day, so that leaves a lot of time for learning to play drums. Don't gimme no crap about jobs and kids, please. You've only got one lif Sorry, kids shouting BRB

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1349398420' post='1825941'] A good swipe (or two, for stubborn cases...) should get the hint across..? Better still with a long-scale; more leverage...[/quote] Sigh... I'm sick and tired of these hateful postings. You should know very well that it's rather low life to give the bassist all the disadvantages of the leverage, and the keyboardist the advantages: The nerve! best, bert

Wow. What a story, and how telling it is. I'm sorry for your loss, Pete, and can relate somewhat. As to Gareth, what can one say? Pure class, though not D. Thanks for sharing, both. best, bert

Thanks, boys! Great stuff, and inspiring at that. One of these days I'm gonna learn to play bass. BTW, in my book, Dusty has great timing. best, bert

Last 40 years (as in totally): mostly originals Last 20 years: mostly covers Last year: home only, so that's what i voted.
