Usually mrs Clarky saying "you were really good tonight. Maybe next time there will be a few more in the audience" I'm not joking

I play my 72 Precision at punk gigs. Does that count me in?

Very Geddy. Nice! In fact best looking of the three IMHO. Congrats Chris

I have the best of both worlds - a heavy Orange valve amp (though at c.50 lb nothing like as heavy as an SVT!) and a TC450 Classic, which does a really good impersonation of a tube amp (and I doubt any audience member would be able to tell the difference). If its a small gig or practice there's no way I'm lugging the Orange along - the TC450 does the trick nicely.

Echo. Echo. Echo.

I have been debating this with regard to my 72 Fender P and my Alleva-Coppollo in another thread and its a desperately tough call between inspiration (AC a better bass to play) and aspiration (vintage Fender gives me a warm rosy glow). If I won the lottery I would have a custom Alembic made, however, in answer to the OP's question, as for me Alembics cross the divide between 'classic bass' and superb materials/playability/construction boutique bass.

[quote name='Rich' post='943431' date='Sep 2 2010, 02:38 PM']Care to explain to me exactly how that is a bad thing? [/quote] You got there before me Rich - I was also googling images of Fiona in a swimsuit before I got some funny looks in the office!

[quote name='Beedster' post='943391' date='Sep 2 2010, 02:00 PM']Come on you guys, I've seen you both play and you're both as good as I am so stop putting yourselves down (cos if you put yourselves down you put me down as well) [/quote] Yeah, you're sh*t as well

[quote name='BigRedX' post='943373' date='Sep 2 2010, 01:48 PM']AFAIAC not links to your music mean that as a musician you simply don't exist.[/quote] Doesn't always hold true - I provide links to my music and this unfortunately proves that I am no musician!

Shockingly Voluminous Trousers?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='943017' date='Sep 2 2010, 09:12 AM']I have an SVT and a Fender Jazz with a Badass, so I obviously have superior tone to everyone here, sometimes I don't know why I bother with you lot.[/quote] We're not worthy [attachment=57931:27429478...89938a89.jpg]

[quote name='Beedster' post='942979' date='Sep 2 2010, 08:23 AM']Do I need to spend more time in Off Topic and get used to this type of thread?[/quote] Think he just wanted a virtual fight. Like a number of OT threads in fact which is why I tend not to dwell there - when I have done I tend to find a large part of my day disappears with little to show for it, other than a greater understanding of small number of people's prejudices

[quote name='Beedster' post='942969' date='Sep 2 2010, 08:09 AM']But in the spirit of self analysis and personal development, can someone please explain why I did it, it's all such a blur.......[/quote] Its all that DB playing. Next you will start wearing a beret
