Is the Roland GK-3B any good? It looks OK in the demos and is certainly more affordable.

I wasn't specifically aware of their drummer but Can were always a super creative band. Sorry to hear that.

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1485116667' post='3221298'] It is even worse, it seems to be relying on the crowd looking at the girls and ignoring the utter pap being played. Very sad. [/quote] Girls? I can't say I noticed.

If it were playable and I had the dosh to spare, I'd buy it just to mess with other bassplayers' heads 😄

Nice. Very maddening intro, tasty bass fillness with (typical on live stuff) two guitarists on camera 'cos the bass player's tucked away at the back where no one can see him 🙄😄😄

For taking itself wayyy too seriously and getting right on my 'nads Music (Was My First Love) by John Miles is pretty much THE yardstick.

I haven't bought from them personally, but they have a good reputation here in Germany.

In band situations, there is a limit to how loud I feel I should be. The actual volume varies of course depending on the situation, indoor/outdoor, size of stage/venue, music genre etc. If the others are so loud that my volume is insufficient, I actually turn down a bit. When they complain, I suggest that they try turning down a bit. I adamantly refuse to partake in an onstage volume battle.

62 quid, someone got a bargain. You by any chance?

[/quote] Strictly speaking yes. The original was knocked down ages ago and made into a car park. The current one is the near the old site (maybe even next door?)and hence the same style of archictecture. So, it does look very much like the original.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1484053815' post='3212222'] I remember standing in the old Wembley Stadium, watching Simon and Garfunkel playing "Sound of Silence". Man, when that dark day comes that we say our fond farewell to Mr Simon. I know I'm going to cry buckets for someone I never met, for the first time in my life. Assuming I'm fortunate enough to still be here. (Note to self: stop being sloppy!! Pull yourself together, man!) [/quote] Was that by any chance in 81/82? The same tour as the Concert in Central Park album? If so, I was there too. What a night. I saw him about 5 years ago, just as he'd turned 70, I think. Still very excellent.

I love my Sire V7 but would live it more with jumbo frets instead of those skinny little ones it has.

And here's to many more happy years. You lucky man 😄

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1483274414' post='3205771'] They're consecutive rather than concurrent. [/quote] Probably better that way, I suppose.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1483262247' post='3205657'] My wife doesn't care if I buy a new bass, to the point that if I say I am selling one shes always asks 'Are you sure? You know you will regret it'. [/quote] This can only mean one thing. The plans for your bumping-off are all in place and she now feels released from all need to care what happens to you. Either that or she's just really nice. Well, what do you think? 😉

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1483227513' post='3205594'] I have about 15 basses and 13 motorbikes and just the one wife. Admittedly she is number 3, but she's put up with me for 12 years now. [/quote] Crikey, now that is ballsy! Where do you keep the other two hidden?

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1483203494' post='3205409'] Which wife?? [/quote] There, fixed.

Here's a nice Bruce Springsteen story... http://youtu.be/Kkf9n-WQ5Ik

Like many others said, a good composition well played and resisting the temptation to descend into typewriter-like pud-pulling. Good on ya!

Yuwall jus don understand cuase yuwall haiders.

Obviously I'm aware of Sadowskys, but not necessarily a fan.... then I heard that warm, thick sustain....Oh my word... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJPaXhApBhA

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1482605239' post='3201859'] Would love a fretless Precision - but one with a maple fingerboard... Bitsa or a real Fender would do the job. [/quote] Wishing you a merry GASmas! 😉 http://basschat.co.uk/topic/288789-197778-fretless-fender-precision-bass-now-l1000/

Merry Christmas BCers and here's to more fun'n'games in the new year.
