There's 14 pages of great funk here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70165"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70165[/url] A lot of these won't fall into the easy category but loads of material to check out for some inspiration

Here's more of a 'groove' than 'funk' track from William De Vaughn - killer song: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDTXljIqxRE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDTXljIqxRE[/url]

Umm, not enough Sly here Let's remedy that: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YXPJOUD7G0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YXPJOUD7G0[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IPEQNYD6oI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IPEQNYD6oI[/url] And this one as much for the costumes as anything else

I see the Tone Hammer has a Switching mode power supply (SMPS) - does that mean it'll run anywhere in the world without the need for step up/down transformers? I also see they are now officially listed all over the place in the US at $699 - that's about £450 UK price (obviously taxes & stuff will whack this up though!).

I've recently been using a DB750 into a GS112 for a couple of rehearsals in a large, acoustically 'dead' room against a drummer who's not desperately loud. It coped really well and didn't need a lot of driving to get to some pretty serious volumes. It was backed right up against a wall & raised about 2-3 feet off the ground. Had to boost mids on the amp to about 3 o'clock but everything else flat.

[quote name='Chunks' post='1084123' date='Jan 10 2011, 12:35 PM']Bought an Eden WTX360 from Barrie he even approached me with the offer from another thread. very helpful and put up with my uming and ahing cheers[/quote] Thanks Fred - it was a pleasure Just to explain (in case ayone thinks I tried to hijack someone else's thread) - I'd seen an identical amp up for sale to the one I had so I waited for it to be sold before listing mine as I didn't want to 'flood' the market with two amps at the same time. When the other one sold I spotted that Chunks had been looking for one via the other thread so I offered him mine at the same price the other one sold at

Tell him to get it listed internationally. The Ramones are an institution in the States, there's even a street named after Joey Ramone in New York (well, if not a whole street then a 'corner' anyway, lol). I saw the Ramones at the Roundhouse, supported by Talking Heads & The Saints I think. They played there a few times though so probably a different gig, lol.

[quote name='Gwilym' post='1083383' date='Jan 9 2011, 06:14 PM']hi Barrie, how's it going? As far as I know the chambered bodies weren't developed as a weight loss tool, rather an experiment with creating a more resonant instrument. I seem to recall recently reading (probably on TB) that MT was going to phase out making these models, I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm sure it would probably always be available as a custom option anyway. This is around 8.5 lbs, probably about a pound lighter than the others I've played, and on the light side for a 5-er I imagine. Cheers G[/quote] Hope it sounds as good as it looks Reason for asking is that I read an interview with Roger Sadowsky and he said that he started working with chambers because he simply couldn't find wood of the quality he wanted that didn't weigh a ton. I saw Mike T (along with Joey Lauricella, Jimmy Coppolo & Jens Ritter) speaking at Bass Player Live last year. Seemed a really nice guy and, unsurprisingly had a huge amount of knowledge about luthiery. I've shown the event below purely because it's the only official pic from Bass Player that I managed to sneak into - it shows the back of my head, lol :
