Nightfly by Donald Fagan. Best track for me is Walk Between The Raindrops - such a cool bassline..........?

I favour aldi own label sea salt myself, along with precisions, orange terror 500 head and SD cabs........

Jacobs, or Carrs?

I did a similar thing recently with a white Matt Freeman Squier Precision f ebay. It's a stunning bass, completely unmarked and fortunately came with a hard case. It's been gigged several times now, sometimes with my ricky 4003 on the reserves bench! Well done on a great purchase, hope u enjoy it as much as I do mine?

Ever tried a ukulele bass? I got to the same state as you a couple of years ago, then bought a kala ubass for an acoustic duo i'm involved in and bingo!!! Got three now, and always get the centre of attention when we play? (much to the frustration of the singer/guitarist!). Now having a go at making my own solid body ubass, so the world of components, tools and late nights in the shed with Planet Rock on the radio are now my addiction??

Anyway, enjoy BC as I presume you enjoy your (awesome) gear. best, bert [/quote] Oops sorry - have I overstepped protocol here? I'll kick back a bit until the newbie tag disappears.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1378740242' post='2203998'] If my band want a performing monkey they can go out and hire one. As far as I am concerned I've been employed to stand at the back and make the singer look a bit better than he actually is and I think I'm making a decent fist of it under the circumstances. Just look out for my 'I think I've been sacked' thread coming soon... [/quote] With you on that one fella......I laughed so hard reading your post that I nearly choked on my fish finger sandwich (not a euphemism, by the way)

I just love his basses! I got a 5 string through neck elite from him first in early 2001, then went for a 6 string Jazz and a 4 string Jazz over the next few years after that! They're just unbelievable, and anyone who's not sure about taking the plunge, just needs to look at the gallery on his website - sheer genius and 100% porn combined!!!!!

Having rediscovered the joys of my Status Energy 5 string headless from 1991, I now want a secondhand series 2 headless 4 string to use with my main band. Can I find one anywhere? Rare as hens teeth they are.........

Good gig last night - played for a local motorbike club outside in an open - fronted marquee, with burger stall, bar and bonfire going in front of us. Weatherman got it wrong - weather was perfect! We also managed to play a new song without trainwrecking it, and even got dancers up! Had to stay sober as was driving home afterwards, but the rest of the band stayed over to help empty the bar, and I've not heard from them today.......
