I think it looks cool. I sometime take a fretless to my rock band gigs. It just looks great

my Fender Flea jazz bass. So it was about 800 quid. I grew up lusting after Herbie Flowers Jazz, stack pots, blue etc. But I have a thing for shell pink too. shell pink, stack knobs (but I love P basses right) It's still my number one after 2 years

I don't change anything. I set it for one sound, manually. Think the intro to Don't stand so close to me. I didn't think it would store different patches but I'm not very techy. Now pass me my mobile phone so I can see what my settings are!! I Photographed the minitaur settings and look at the picture when I use it

yes and it's what I use.

pedaltrain two . 31 x 32 x 5 cm

my wife had one of those, it was great but she preferred her Precisions

I use a Mcmillan 12 step with a minitaur, all mounted on a pedal train. works well, when I can be bothered to take it with me unused for a couple of years now

I paid £110 for my music master in 1983. Sold it a year later for £70. I'd love it back, it was my first fender bass

FWIW, I think you did the right thing. Good people do the right thing. He sounds like a derrière (french for behind lol, I used the word that rhymes with grass)

I'm in a Police tribute. We take the whole thing seriously. I look quite a bit like Sting, I try and copy how he moves on stage and play replicas of his basses, matched with the outfit he mainly wore with whatever bass I'm using. Guitarist has a Telecaster that has been 'Andy Summers' by 'The Painted Player' guitar company Drummer has old Tama kit, in one of the colours that Stewart used, octobans too. Live, we play the studio versions but sometimes make them longer, depending on the length of the show. One of our first gigs was at a festival in Crete. Matala. We played to thousands of people with a back drop of caves. I've included a few pics, it was THE most amazing gig of my life. We went on at 1.30am just after some big Greek star. Obviously the guitarist is playing the Red Strat (like Andy's) but not the Tele.

That's me at the front. The guy with the tats ended up drumming with Bernie Torme. This is 1990 and that's Dover Castle at the back

tell them that you knew 5 already, so learnt another 5. It'll show you're keen

My Flea has been my number 1 since I got it. It was from the first batch, nearly 2 years ago. I love it

ha ha. Excellent. I can hear the difference between maple and rosewood boards, maple is more glassy.

#3 for me. pray tell, was it the vintage with the maple neck?

Pretty much this for me. The band I've inherited are very good but I'm sick of one of the 'personalilties' and am thinking of chucking in the towel. For me, it is about entertaining the audience. I play a lot of songs that I wouldn't really listen too because they go down REALLY well. But it's difficult getting like minded people together

Gibson..........Saab. always on the brink of going bust!!!!!! oh, hang on.............................. I always wondered why anyone would buy a Saab. What is the point of them,..................Then I understood and nearly bought one. A bit like Gibson basses but I've bought Gibson basses but not a Saab. Remember folks, I'm only joshing here because I'm gassing for a gold top L/P bass and Saab convertible in cerrulian blue

I'm in south east kent. Most of her band are here but she isn't.

yes. still married to Robert. Her band are friends of mine. All local to me. Her guitar player that was ill was/is in China Crisis. She has a great live band and they are playing in a pub, near me, soon. Looking forward to it.

yep, no pedals here, not even a tuner. That clips onto the headstock

yep great shop and very friendly
