[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1411066456' post='2556204'] I haven' t seen it but it sounds like it was Lee Pomeroy. [/quote] Yeah I think it was indeed that man. First time I have seen him without a Stingray.

Don`t know where to get them but you could try the site "guitars by leo" Hopefully you can get some info there.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1410793063' post='2553186'] I want to part on good terms, smooth the transition if they look for a replacement bassist and still be talking to them at the end of the process, since they've been friends since before this band existed. [/quote] The best option by far. As you have know them before the band was together, its good to keep things amicable. Re the driving thing. I will never join another band where people don`t have their own transport. It just becomes too much hassle.

Now if he was selling a fake Ric neck.........How long do you think it would last?

Sell it. You will get around £400 odd for it and use the cash for something you want/need. Then realise a year down the line, you really miss the P bass sound and get another one! [size=4] [/size]

How right George Orwell was....... Another reason why I wouldn`t want to become an Apple fanboy. Instead I`m a Samsung fanboy [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='Storky' timestamp='1410361450' post='2548561'] +1 OK, so I admit it; I play bass in a U2 Tribute band. (Doesn't mean I can't play other things though!) I took a Fender Classic '70s Jazz and had it re-finished in Sherwood Green and with a pearl plate and it looks very like the new sig' model, which I am sure is a very nice bass. Wonder how much it is.... [/quote] Guitarguitar have it on pre order for £1545. Ouch!!

Or was I on drugs at this point? [size=4] [/size]

Just read his web page myself. Heavy stuff and makes you think. And sad as well.

I recently bought a small Alto zmx 52 mixer for £40 and I plug my bass into a Zoom b2, then the zoom and my computer into the mixer. Connect a decent set of headphone and Bob`s your funny auntie. Sounds really nice. I wish I had done this years ago.

Up here, fees vary from £150 for the tight ar*ed landlords (somewhere in Kirkintiloch) to £300 for the good paying ones. Most pay around £250. I prefer playing pubs as long as there is a decent crowd. The money is nice but not my main reason for playing.

Neil Murray is one of the best rock bass players around. Search M3 on ya tube. Moody, Marsden, Murray and other guys doing classic Whitesnake material.

We used to go on around 9, play till about 10.15, have a 20 min break and play till around 12 ish, depending on how well we were going down. I personally don`t like too long a break, as you work to get the place going and then you stop and have to build it again.

Hell aint a bad place to be by acdc. Lots of acdc songs are root note stuff but can test your stamina and are bloody good fun to play.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1409676256' post='2542153'] Nearly £400 for a Squier? Blimey! [/quote] True. It wasn`t so long ago you could buy a Mex standard P bass for this price.

Cramp in the bollocks region? The medical cure for this is moveupasizeunderpantis. True [size=4] [/size]

Get a P/J bass set up and you have the best of both worlds. That P bass sound that sits so well in a band mix and a J pickup at the bridge for that....J bass at the bridge sound [size=4] [/size] [size=4]I always think that on it`s own, a P bass doesn`t sound very inspiring but when you hear it in a band situation, it really comes into it own.[/size]

I prefer the 3 way switch, nice and simple.

Another real advert I want to start a quo tribute band. Looking to start out playing pubs and then mabye touring in the future. I`m 16,age range 14-19. Whilst I admire his thinking, he may have a slight problem getting into the pub to play the gig. False beard anyone?

And what the heck is a "shoegaze band?" And why do lots of people want to form one?

A real advert from The Gumtree. Drummer available I`m at Glasgow uni and thought it would be cool to have a hard rock cover band to have some fun. I do not have my own drum kit. A drummer with no kit? I think I see a small problem....

Nice. As a recent convert to old Yams, I couldn`t be happier.

I was on the verge of buying the Jazz with the P/J setup from one of my local stores for £219 I think it was. But ended up buying an old Yamaha BB. Still like the look of those Overwaters though.
