The rubber strings on my HB Uke Bass seem quite low tension and it has a truss rod too. I guess if you notice the bridge starting to lift and the top bowing, it's too tight!...

Joss Stone recorded her album The Sole Sessions with the help of James Last and two members of Black Lace, and it was a shoo-in to sell millions.

The Sole Sessions, wasn't that Fish?
Paper Lace, The Scissor Sisters and Joss Stone are joining together to cover the Miley Cyrus song "Decisions". They have no idea or way of deciding who should take the first chorus however.

Well the MarkBass Italian vs. Indonesian test is on! If anyone has a good video camera that will do bass sounds justice it may be good to record it for Basschat posterity.

Frank Zippo was a jobbing San Diego based musician in the early 60's. In his autobiography years later, he conceded that changing his name was a necessity to get ahead in the industry.

Only a bargain if you want another Bass too!
It all started for me with Colin Hodgkinson and I literally went through the Back Door at a venue in Washington where he was playing when I was 17/18. I didn't have much to say as I wasn't on BC then....
Since then have spoken to Rhino Edwards for around 30 minutes when he was with Judie Tzuke (my Mrs used to go to school with their guitar/producer Mike Paxman).
Usually if its a fairly informal gig or I see a Bassist at the Bar, I'll do a quick hello/chat. Most recent would be Lee Sklaar x 2!

Rod Hull used to be a musician. Unfortunately he misread a vital contract, and thought he was signing to EMI.

Rod Hull's favourite song was 'Saling' and Emu was a big fan of My Chemical Romance.

I spent a good 10 minutes wondering why the bassist was not in shot. He is making a sublime noise with his left hand.
