What happened to my reply yesterday to this topic?? There seems little point in taking the time to reply to threads like this to offer advice in good faith only for them to disappear. This place is really going downhill.

[quote name='4 candles' timestamp='1377805655' post='2192219'] my question........ have we reached the pinnacle of instrumental/solo/technique bass playing????? [/quote] No...the instrument is in it's infancy

I am no expert, however I would hazard a guess that a good example would be around the £1000 range. Wonderful era for Warwick basses.

I played a graphite necked Vigier Arpege during the 80's and really liked the advantages of perpetual stability, tight sound and tuning consistency. I do however prefer wood in general because I feel that it is infinitely more organic and tactile.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1436195921' post='2815834'] Ive had a fair amount of good experiences on here and taken 2 what I consider "risks" , where posts / feedback was not in abundance, and all was well. Having said that even in the best places, where there are humans, there will be issues [/quote] similar here, all has went very well after rolling the dice a couple of times.

Really cool bass, my advice would be to contact Mr Diggins direct

Congrats, thats a beautiful instrument. Warwick Pro series are great basses

It's just an impossible question really... there are just so many masters of their craft out there nowadays. I love Carl Thompson and Pete Hilton's work, however in real terms I wouldn't say that they are better at crafting instruments from wood than a plethora of others. For example I am super impressed with ACG's work here in Scotland - his work is among some of the UK's absolute finest

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1435571910' post='2810036'] That looks like a proper bass!! I have a spare Dimarzio Model One lying around... *starts plotting* I hope The Who's set appears on iplayer at some point... [/quote] I will refer you to my previous comment......it has begun!

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1435577076' post='2810106'] And, of course, they'll see the avatar and refuse your visa on the basis you're a possible terrorist threat. [/quote] Lol.

Time to respectfully wind Yes up now in my opinion.

He cant quit, it's what he was born to do. He will rock til he drops...it's in his DNA

I expect to see a bit of mudbucker + P bass GAS right here on basschat due to that performance. Loved it.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1435531649' post='2809847'] I liked Pete Townsend's quip about the biggest rock star. [/quote] Me too. The Who actually did smash it

Loved it warts n all. Absolutely superb. Real...very real! Loved the dig at Mr West too lol. Sunday was THE day to be at Glasto.

[quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1435512518' post='2809554'] What do folk think of the Lemmy documentary that was on telly... [/quote] I loved the movie, but take your point about boasting of banging his band mates other halves. Not big, not clever... but hey, it's rock n roll dude!

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1435526343' post='2809769'] Deeply tragic; Close to the Edge was the first LP I ever bought. Goodness know how many Yes gigs I've been to. [/quote] Close to the edge blew me away and still does....Chris was a living legend and is now an immortal.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1435523390' post='2809711'] He seems to have made an impression! [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-33305940"]http://www.bbc.co.uk...t-arts-33305940[/url] [/quote] The organisers screwed up the headline acts BIG time this year (The Who pending) - Lionel should have topped the bill last night, and anyone other than FATM on Friday.

Well done Lionel...a true legend.

Oh my god.....no......

Really excellent!

It's all subjective. If you loved it you loved it. If you hated it you hated it. I would rather visit the dentist for an extraction than watch it again.
