Would also be grateful for a full transcription of this. Anyone have a copy of said BP magazine they wouldn't mind scanning in please? Cheers

The bass tone on the Scala gig is immense...and the playing even more so! Some awesome lines from Mr Turner that night...

Astute observation Sir! I can only assume that having spent a good few grand on an Alleva he wanted to get the use out of it

[quote name='Mokl' post='690144' date='Dec 20 2009, 09:13 PM']I know, it's just that I don't like having my integrity or experience questioned...... lol[/quote] Yeah, but at least you have the integrity and experience in the first place, which it seems neither he, or the git in the other shop have at all

[quote name='Faithless' post='690137' date='Dec 20 2009, 09:06 PM']WTF, Paul Turner played fiver? He said, he prefers 4ers, because he can't cope with how B string sounds (too much different from E)..[/quote] Yup, uses 5's for Jamiroquai as the Low B is needed for a lot of their stuff, but prefers playing 4's. I met him through a friend and he's an absolutely lovely bloke.

Look on the bright side - He's gonna be the one having trouble playing it, not you

Had a gig on friday depping for a mate of mine (Ziggydolphinboy on here) at The Bull in Colchester. Had a wicked night, the place was rammed. Although some stupid drunken bint fell over and threw the remainder of her drink all over my Pedaltrain!! I was tempted to knock her back down to the floor once she got up!! Some quick work with a towel and all was well again, luckily nothing damaged. Last night had a gig with my own band [url="http://www.myspace.com/tornband"]Torn[/url] at the Valentine in Gants Hill. None of my mates could make it so I expected the place to be empty, but it was also rammed like the night before, we had a terrific gig and the place went wild when we went into Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody as the final number. There are photos from the gig at [url="http://www.livebandphotos.com/Torn"]http://www.livebandphotos.com/Torn[/url] If you scroll down and click the "most recent pictures" button you can see them from the beginning. I was playing my JV Squier P and my Musicman Stingray through the Aguilar rig and the sound was awesome

I don't know how to describe what I do on stage apart from "grooving"

Play the C on the E string with your index finger, then use your little finger for the for the D#, 3rd finger for the high D, index finger for the C and little finger for the A#. That's how I play it anyway

Thanks for the kind words peeps! Yup on second thought I should have shut the wardrobe door

Not the best example as the sound quality is sh*te, but you get the basic idea: Also please excuse the sync issue, the sh*te playing, and intonation issues. On second thought, why the hell did I even post this video?

[quote name='ezbass' post='686749' date='Dec 16 2009, 08:11 PM']Fretless MM played with a pick through an octave pedal (a bit of chorus won't go amiss either).[/quote] That's exactly what I do. Fretless Stingray, Boss OC-2, Analogman Chorus. I play it with fingers though cos I suck with a pick

Don't know if this counts, but I had a Lakland DJ4 and a DJ5 at the same time. Also used to have triplets in that I had a Stingray 4, a Fretless Stingray 4 and a Stingray 5 The 5 is gone now, but I still have the Fretted and Fretless 4's

Wow. Didn't expect the Phaser to be second cheapest!! Tube Phaser...sounds interesting!

That is gonna be one seriously nice bass. I'm absolutely in love with my Shuker jazz, and that orange colour is awesome. Hope it turns out to be exactly what you were after

I always try to keep all my gear in tip top condition. Whatever condition I acquire them in is how I want to keep it. For example, my Stingrays are both in immaculate condition, you'd never know they were 2nd hand. My 1982 P-Bass on the other hand has loads of knocks and dings. My Shuker is somewhere in the middle, only having a couple of very minor dings. They all receive the same amount of love and care, no matter what condition. As long as I personally haven't done any damage to them, I'm a happy bunny

[quote name='51m0n' post='679622' date='Dec 9 2009, 09:58 PM']I use a MAxon AF9 and that has buckets and buckets of low end. Also have an MXR auto-Q nice sound, just the one and very different from the Maxon, so much so that both together is also very cool.[/quote] +1. I've owned both in the past (Auto Q twice!) and they're both fantastic pedals. If I'm ever in a state where money is no object I'll probably get both, or a Prometheus as this can do everything both units can, just not at the same time.
