    Yep - I came up through Britpop and the level of obsession over the way The Beatles wrote, recorded and lived their lives through their many phases of evolution was something to witness.

    Ha ha - ditto - in a service station on the way out of London in north Kent I was about to use the facilities when McCartney appears and asks if his wife (Heather) could use the bog as the ladies was bust. As any gentleman would, I let her use the cubicle then I went on to use the stand up facilities. McCartney went as well saying thank you very much for the help... There should be a thread on toilet conversations with bass legends...

    Allo, I have a virtually unused axiom pro 49 midi controller that I would like to to swap for a straight synth. I bought it to use as a logic controller and soft synth tweaking platform but never really got round to using it. Right now I would rather a straight all in one synth that I can tweak in the keyboard. Any thoughts drop me a pm... Cheers, Nick

    I love his playing on Rain - one of his first tracks cut with his Rickenbacker. Amazing sound. One of the most musical bass players... [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aOJGJD-SQc"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcsM4Ku9kKE[/url] And another vote for Silly Love Songs - more than a little Jamerson in there…Rickenbackers are totally different basses with flats on. Defined, tight low mids, a great sound... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwKUaYBUYNc

    Top flight colour there old chap, have a bump...
  6. Cairobill
    Yup - it's the best production fretless out there in my opinion. Sounds amazing and is built for comfort and playability...
  7. Cairobill
    Cheers - it's a lovely bass...
  8. Cairobill
    Yes, they are absolutely insane basses for the price. They sound huge and prove that you don't need a chunky neck and boat anchor body to get a big tone.

    Yup, Bass Gallery is the place. Denmark st is doomed, despite Wunjo doing their best to create a shopping atmosphere that wasn't repellent. I'll miss it though - I spent a lot of time lurking in andy's in the 90s...

    And a bump and a crafty price drop for my berg cab that has pretty much only been used in my home studio!

    I can assure you I am very across which Celinders are on the board
  13. Cairobill
    Indeed - lovely basses Mikkel btw I'm on the lookout for a Celinder jazz so if you have one that's sitting under the bed unloved, drop me line! Has to be four strings and less than 9.5lbs in weight preferably.

    I'm still searching for the perfect J…and I will find it one day...

    Thomastiks! Love love love thomastiks...

    Ah the XL2, a fantastic bass. One of the greatest basses ever designed…have a bump for a bargain.
  17. Cairobill
    Yup - had two, sold them both and miss them both...need another one soon!
  18. Cairobill
    My first bass was a 1983 Japanese replica of the ash/maple/black blocks jazz bass variety under the Morris trade name. It was a shocking, shocking bass. Worse than your worst nightmares!
  19. Cairobill
    Yup - Jamiroquai...odd band. Saw them at their height in around 95/96 at the Notting Hill Carnival and there was a charisma bypass happening on stage. Weird, given that he's a crafty mover. It sounded like terrible pastiche to me.
  20. Cairobill
    Oooo, very nice indeed!
  21. Cairobill
    Very smooth transaction. Thanks Steve!
  22. Cairobill
    Indeed Kiwi - regarding rarity, load up the Steinberger database and search for XL25...doesn't occur much... http://www.steinbergerworld.com/serial-L.html
  23. Cairobill
    Interesting bass. Do you find the thicker neck give this jazz a heavier sound? I love jazz basses but suspect that the thinner the neck, the weedier the tone?
  24. Cairobill
    I wouldn't sell it
  25. Cairobill
    Indeed - these are so eye wateringly rare. One of the great bass designs and unlike it's peers - Jazzes, Ps, Rics, Stingrays etc - they will NEVER be made again. Gold dust, hen's teeth, finite resource etc
