Go for it! Sounds like a blast.

I was selling a bass through Gumtree and Dub Junkie bought it from me and recommended the site.

No. What channel?

Jimmy Copley. Didnt he play in M3 with Bernie Marsden and Micky Moody? If it is the same guy, he is a top skinsman!!

I will buy this genuine Fender with my genuine £18 notes!

Andy Rourke: great player, end of. And for all you people who missed Mr Marr on Jools... http://youtu.be/u6INUp_uxMk

Welcome Yolanda. So nice to have another professional bass player on here to keep the rabble like myself right . Really loved your playing with Mr Weller especially on the clip below. http://youtu.be/iRRB-MS7gJY Lovely looking P bass as well. Do you still have it/use it?

I enjoyed Johnny Marr doing Big mouth. Fantastic guitarist, decent enough singer and a good performance.

Naw I think you did the right thing. The band I`m playing with at the mo aint going to well so I put out some feelers. I played with one of the bands who have been going for 10 years or so, and when the guy gave me the song list, I asked him if they played them in the same key and the same way as the recorded versions. Yes was the answer, so I cracked on. Come the night, I found out that on 3 of the 6 songs, they played them in a different key and some of them bore only a fleeting resemblance to the recorded version. No one explained the arrangements before hand and I ended up trying to catch on to what they were doing. This strikes me as un proffesional and I bailed out after the audition. The other bands either played songs I have no interest in playing (build me up buttercup anyone?) or were clearly not very experianced. So, you could say I am being picky or that I like playing with people who know how a band works and want to get enjoyment from the type of music I play.

[quote name='foxton4001' timestamp='1370289655' post='2098757'] Or Noel's songwriting - I like the Sound of BE but they haven't got any actual 'songs'. Gem should join Noel's HFB anyway! [/quote] Agree with this totally.

I liked Oasis and still like Noel but Liam is a roaster. And judging by the performance on Jools on friday night, he is nothing without the Oasis brand name.

Buy a Bullet 30 foot long curly lead, play the bass and wonder out front as far as you can and have a listen, Then move back to the amp and the lead will go back to it`s original size. Impresses punters no end

Flats on the p bass, half rounds on the Mustang and zinghy rounds on the Yamaha. The best of all worlds.

To quote the good lord Lemmy... I found out that if you have a guitar, women take their clothes off... And if you can actually play it, they take them off quicker!!

Ta for the link. Great program. I like the format of an interview then questions from the audience after. They should get Steve Harris on talking about Number of the beast.

Nothing wrong with an active eq if it sounds good to you. You wouldn`t have to change the battery every gig if all is ok with the circut, use decent batterys and don`t leave the bass lead plugged in for long periods. If you are looking for the P bass tone, get the P bass. As for build quality, you would need to check out each bass as Squier can be a bit hit and miss sometimes.

They have some in the Glasgow shop and they are very pink. But for £50, it might be worth a punt.

The band I`m in at the moment is not enjoyable as I don`t like the singer. He is so full of bullsh*t, not a very good singer and he is doing my nut in. But we have some gigs booked so I will bite my tongue but after that, either he is off or I am as I cannot be in a band with people I dislike. I have a couple of friends from other bands I have played in I still keep in regular touch with and I find that my "social circle" are all musicians (or drummers!).

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1369667773' post='2091375'] Agree with positive comments about Brum show. I loved the setlist. Does anyone know the details of Geddy's blue and white Jazz's? I know the 'other' black one is in drop D and the red is a whole tone down. I thought the tone was noticeably different with the blue and white ones.

Did a deal with Paul for some strings and he paid right away. A pleasure doing biz with. Ta Gerry

I agree with the flats and his thumb being on the end of the fret board. If you watch him playing with Seasick Steve in his recent Jools Holland appearances, he still uses this style of playing. [media]http://youtu.be/84d1BhC6wWM[/media]

You can`t beat a cheap Yamaha for value for money.

Hop to it man!! Your a bass player not a nancy boy guitar player

I have only had good experiance with this mob. Good when you need some advice too.

Gotta post this as well. [url="http://youtu.be/yEmGQYCuc6M"]http://youtu.be/yEmGQYCuc6M[/url]
