[quote name='paulconnolly' timestamp='1360413919' post='1969966'] Listening to Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited 2. Love the guitar work and the songs but I'm struggling to like the singers and I don't think that the songs from The Lamb work out of context and track order from the original. [/quote] I agree about most of the singers, though Steven Wilson does a good job on Can-Utility and the Coastliners IMO. Currently listening to this

That works!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1359976622' post='1962652'] My first ever bass, built by the late Jim Cairnes. It's a 4 string and I play only 5 strings nowadays so it doesn't get a look in. It's probably not worth a great deal from a monetary point of view but it sounds great and I played some of my most memorable gigs on that bass. I will never sell it. Jim was the guy that really kicked off my bass playing career and built me this bass when a shop screwed me over by selling a bass that I had put a deposit down on. That was his nature - he couldn't believe that a shop would do that to a youngster who had saved hard, had gone back the next day to pick it up only to be handed back his deposit... so he built me one better. All my other basses get played on rotation and the only bass that I have moved on in recent times was my Status and Lakland DJ5. I'm ok with all the basses that I have moved on... but I do miss my Yammy BBNE2. [/quote] Agreed Jim was a great bloke, he sorted my Hondo II P (my first bass) out for me when I was young and clueless. Back in the early 80's he made instruments for a few of my old mates (a couple of Explorers, a Strat and two BC Rich Mockingbird basses, one being fretless) In 96' he replaced the missaligned BBOT on my old Silver series Squier P with a Schaller 3D bridge and did a full set up inc fret dress, all for £40. When I reminded him about mates guitars he'd made, he asked, "Wot were they?" When I told him, he said, "Not me, I've never made copyrighted designs" he said. "oh yes you did Jim" I said, he just winked. The shop that sold your bass wasn't Guitarzan/Bong Bill's was it?

Shafesbury Rickenbacker Copy. It looked great but was totally sh*te!

[quote name='Martin Gordon' timestamp='1359721832' post='1959308'] I wish I DID have a black Rick, but no - only a red one and a blonde one. Next life, perhaps. And I certainly did not throw plectrums around willy nilly, given the wages at the time... Since we are on the topic: [url="http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/includemeout"]http://www.pledgemus...ts/includemeout[/url] And now I'm off to be obscure again. [url="http://www.martingordon.de"]Martin Gordon[/url] [/quote] Red? It look Black to me! Oh well can't argue with the bloke who owned it, and that's me colourblindess definitely confirmed then lol

I saw The Radio Stars at Middlesbrough Town Hall Crypt, back in the day. Martin was playing a Natural finish Precision, he also had a Black Ric which he never used. Good pop band, Though they, like many other bands jumped on the punk bandwagon. I still have Songs For Swinging Lovers.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1359623028' post='1957581'] I'd love to be able to play the guitar bloody brilliantly, to the point people turn to jelly when I played. [/quote] +1

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1359331627' post='1953285'] I really hope this guy picks up the bass one day, so I can vote for him. [b]Rude language ahoy![/b] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DbUPjEbIvA[/media] [/quote] Love it! It's a great reminder on off days that things aren't as bad as they could be. His scouse accent gives it great comedy appeal too!

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1359203965' post='1951481'] What's wrong with it? "It makes me squirm" isn't even justifying why you think it's wrong. There's nothing wrong with referring to inanimate objects as "she" or even naming them IMO. Posting publically on a forum that (I assume) will contain a lot of people that do what you don't like accusing them of not being in touch of reality or asking them to stop really makes you look very judgemental without any kind of justification. [/quote] +1. Well said that man!

Marillion - Clutching At Straws.

There's a thread that's been going a few years follow the link [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/23966-what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/23966-what-are-you-listening-to-right-now/page__fromsearch__1[/url]

IMO The album where they became a credible band.

Well it's getting round to that time of year again! [url="http://youtu.be/oLwBQWplTaY"]http://youtu.be/oLwBQWplTaY[/url]

Not a trustworthy bloke at all

I don't think you've insulted anyone matey! I don't find them very endearing to look at either, though they do sound nice. The Gibson version looks slightly better as the headstock is the other way round, dunno wot Epiphone were thinking when they reversed it.

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1352229211' post='1860502'] Nope its a real Epiphone Thunderbird, non reverse model.[/quote] +1

£227? Hahaha

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1351045105' post='1846636'] Are you sure? it looks remarkably like my JV 62P pickguard which i know is genuine cozI've oewned mine from new.[/quote] I was thinking the same thing, it looks exactly the same as my old JV did. Apparently the way to tell is to see if the neck heel has been re-drilled, I read years ago that the JV neck heel holes don't match up with later Squier Korean or Chinese bodies.

Acoustic Guitars, Keyboards & a poppy Prog-type tune, who'd av eva fort it? [url="http://youtu.be/qYHj-W2pxTE"]http://youtu.be/qYHj-W2pxTE[/url]

It went for £488

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1350337555' post='1837624'] Cheers Pete, I had beedy eye on this one. Now it seems every bass player in the country is bidding on it. Lol. [/quote] Sorry mate, but I'm guessing someone else woulda pointed it out sooner or later if I hadn't.

....that he has no idea wot he's selling? lol [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300795572455"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=300795572455[/url]
