    Hi all, short notice but we've been offered a support slot at the OQH in Islington a week Wednesday. Mid-week not always good for people but - as ever - would be great to see some BC'ers there [attachment=147968:1462781_10151792890269538_725434956_o.jpg]

    Lenny bought a music book off me. All good, as before

    I bought the Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny album 'Beyond the Missouri Sky' over a decade ago and loved it. I then completely forgot about it. Now that I am more DB-focused I chased it down again and wow what stunning, sensitive playing by Charlie Haden. No pyrotechnics just solid support play and some tasteful solos. Thoroughly recommended. Here's a couple of tracks (the second is the wonderful Morricone theme tune to Cinema Paradiso) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybm2AjzDYXM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwJKhdXlVTc

    Just ask him to listen to Bad Company, Bauhaus, etc etc Then tell hiim that if you don't add in slidey-ness, a fretless bass sounds just like ..... errrr ..... a bass

    Nice pics Tim. I reckon you and Waynepunkdude are vying for the biggest percentage weight loss in the time I've been on BassChat. You both look (almost) like different people. Can you share your secrets with me, haha!

    Hey Mike, there's (ahem) more than a few left! We were optimistic in our order size (doesn't everyone's debut go platinum?) Here's the link mate [url="http://allthequeensravens.com/"]http://allthequeensravens.com/[/url]

    [url="http://www.allanwilkinson.co.uk/node/3031"]http://www.allanwilk...co.uk/node/3031[/url] Bit of a thread revival with a nice review from Northern Sky [size=3]"[font=Verdana]Utterly dramatic, as their name suggests, the music of London-based sextet All The Queen's Ravens has all the theatricality of a burlesque side show, equally matched by the band's dazzling presentation. With a dozen songs written by the outfit's two enigmatic singers Laura Hillman and Charlotte Aggett, together with guitarist Luke John Wills, the band take us on a joyride through a musical landscape filled with a mixture of gospel, flamenco, jazz-tinged blues, folk stylings and Native American chants, each performed with a tight and confident delivery.[/font] [font=Verdana]The energy and flamboyance of the band's live performances is captured on this their debut album, which maintains an attention-grabbing attitude through to the end. With a particular Anglo-Spanish feel, especially of such songs as the enticing opener [i]Aura Negra[/i], the expressive [i]Las Vegas Parano[/i], inspired by Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing exploits and the Fado-esque[i] Profundo. [/i]Completing the line-up is Camilla Johns on mandolin, Clarky on bass and Rob Davies on drums and percussion. A thoroughly engaging debut."[/font][/size]

    ah, here's the thread from StingrayPete1977 in which he points out Spiros are too short for a Stagg unless you get into modification. I'd say its too much hassle for you, Gareth/smaz [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196792-spiros-too-short-l130-wasted/page__hl__stingraypete1977"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196792-spiros-too-short-l130-wasted/page__hl__stingraypete1977[/url]

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1383697365' post='2267988'] With some strings one can shave an inch or two of silk away as long as a dab of glue or nail varnish is applied to prevent further unravelling. [/quote]good point, Keith! Many thanks

    PM'd back. Since I decided to keep the cab in August it's not left my house once as my combo has been loud enough for our gigs so realistically I don't see me ever using this cab, which remains in minty condition. Hence it's back up for sale Edit: and yes I had insomnia when I wrote that post

    Try going into Edit Profile, then Manage Attachments and delete old photos. That's probably what is stopping you uploading ie you have reached the memory limit on BC

    Hi Tom, I've played Silver Slaps and they're (if anything) slightly too low in tension for my bass and I am not overly keen on the thuddy E. Most likely I will just stick with the Blues and bide my time until someone on BC or TB puts a set up for sale!
  23. Clarky
    If its a Stagg, I would drop Stingray Pete a PM to check which strings fit. I vaguely recall he had some issues swapping strings on his Stagg regarding the silk lengths at the bridge end , but I could be mistaken. Worth being on the safe side before you shell out hard-earned readies!
  24. Clarky
    Last call before I (gulp) consider paying up for a new set (they are so pricey that I may just stick with the Blues)

    I have a tiny blob of tippex on the 'far side' of my double bass neck at the octave as its so bloody far away its useful when looking down the neck to get a sense of bearing
