    Heard 'Ball And Chain', the new single by The Who, a couple of times over the weekend (on Radio Caroline). Very disappointing - and I've been a fan of the Who since 1965 when I first heard 'Can't Explain''. Chris

    Favourite Yes Album? 'Yes' from 1969 - Love Pete Banks guitar work and his interplay with Chris Squire, Tony Kaye and Bill Bruford. 'Every Little Thing' and 'I See You' still give me goose-bumps. Runners-up would be 'Time And A Word' and 'The Yes Album'. Nothing else worked for me until 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart' Chris

    Radio Caroline (648 Medium Wave) - "Don't Believe A Word" by Thin Lizzy. Caroline played "One Thing Leads To Another" by Fixx earlier today. Can't get it out of my head now. Chris

    John Entwistle - my inspiration, and my bass muse. 'My Generation' and 'Call Me Lightning' - contain the definitive bass solos. That sums it up for me. Chris (Chezz55)

    Absolutely.

    I agree 100% with Loz196. I've been playing 'ham-fisted' bass in bands since 1968. Had a few 'Bouquets and Brickbats' over the years ....... but more importantly I thoroughly enjoy playing bass guitar, and that's good enough for me. Chris

    Just taken delivery of an EHX NanoPOG from Stu (bluepigbass). Seamless transaction, prompt communications and goods were very well packed. No problems here. Chris

    I was there as well - and I've still got an unused Deep Purple sticker from the event. IIRC the support band were called 'Highway'

    Been using a Draper collapsible sack truck for over 10 years - it's moved Trace Elliot combos, Ampeg 4x10s, TC cabs, Barefaced cabs, Mesa PowerHouse cabs, MarkBass combo and cab together, various PAs and keyboard amps. Had casters and tried dollies - the sack truck wins everytime for me. Chris

    +1 for Little Feat, just add Bill Payne's piano and there's not many other rhythm sections that come close And of course there'sJohn Entwistle and Keith Moon. Chris

    Sorted now - thanks to all who read the post and responded. Chris Hi - I have a question about the StageClix JackV2 system - can any BC members out there offer advice suggestions please Receiver powers-up (power LED only, faint glow from bat and signal LEDs). Transmitter power indicator lights-up (fast blinking which reduces to approx 3 flashes per second - Fast Charge ???) - still flashing at same rate after 4 hours. Tried connecting receiver output to amp/speaker with high quality mono jack to jack lead, transmitter plugged into guitar and switched on (tried active and passive instruments) - strummed strings, no audio output from amp/speaker and no change at all to indicator lights on receiver. several electrical 'clicks' from amp/speaker. Tried both guitars with cable to amp/speaker - both work fine. Cheers Chris

    Sounds good to me. Hope to be there (subject to the infinite perversities of life, the universe and everything). Chris

    Just taken delivery of a Boss AB-2 AB-Y from Will (Attackbass). Exactly as described and in very good condition. Smooth transaction, good communication, prompt delivery and exceptionally well packaged. Thanks Will - a pleasure doing business with you. Chris (Chezz55)

    I'll be glad when this is sorted out. The small Rotosound/Elixir etc.type banners at the top of the screen were fine but I don't like the new system - I'm getting ads popping up every time I open a new topic / change forums etc.. In some cases taking up the whole screen. Infuriating and very annoying Chris

    I've PM'd as well

    Mornin' all. Just had a few days break in Southsea - wandering around on Thursday afternoon I heard somebody playing a bass guitar. Immediate thought was 'there might be a music shop nearby'. WRONG. Outside Debenhams was a young lady busker with a light blue MM Stingray (I think), playing along to AWB's 'Let's Go Round Again'. Of course I stopped to watch and listen and witnessed some fine playing - very melodic and fluid with some delightful fills. I put some coins in the hat, complimented the young lady on her playing. If anyone in the Southsea area knows this young lady bass busker, please let her know that her playing was appreciated. Thanks. Chris

    My Status Stealth - which I left at one of our regular gig venues in Hampshire. I put that down to a senior moment, as I realised about 100 yards from the venue. Turned round, tried all the doors but the venue was locked up. Rang the next morning and they confirmed that the bass had been picked up by the manager and was in locked storage, and that I could pick it up on presentation of Photo ID. The return journey to collect the bass cost more than the gig paid but significantly less than the cost of a new Stealth. Credit to the manager and his staff. Chris

    FIRST GIG: November-ish 1968 (Aged 16)- Catholic Church Hall in Clacton-on-Sea - Prototype Power Trio (called PowerHouse IIRC) - Played songs by Creation (Making Time, Try And Stop Me), Zombies (She's Not There), Chuck Berry (Johnny B Goods etc), Byrds (Hey Mr Spaceman, Fifth Dimension, Eight Miles High). SECOND GIG: April-ish 1969 - St Christopher's Hall, Jaywick Sands - Same band and songs
  23. Chezz55
    Oh yes: Good Organist + Hammond + Leslie = Something Very Special - A few nominations: Jimmy McGriff - Pullin' Out The Stops Jimmy Smith - The Cat The Nice - Ars Longa Vita Brevis (and America) And an honourable mention to Oxford's late, and much missed - Tony Jezzard (A Gentleman and a Gentle Man with a great sense of humour). Chris

    The Doors didn't have a bass guitarist - Ray Manzarek (keyboards) used a Fender 'Piano Bass', which IIRC was about 1.5 octaves. And they recorded some pretty good music ! ! Chris
  25. Chezz55
    My suggestions for your consideration - all original album versions: Stanley Clarke - Schooldays Martin Turner (Wishbone Ash) - The Pilgrim / FUBB Kenny Gradney (Little Feat) - Lafayette Railroad Chris
