+1 on The Steve Berry Trio album too, but I haven't heard it in along time as my vinyl player is packed away. I pass by Steve's house nearly everyday and had the pleasure of lessons from him back in 1993 ish. Superb player and top bloke. [/quote] I had lessons from Steve in 96/97 - Superb player and top bloke indeed!

Is anyone cross-checking these dates against World Cup fixtures...?

Let's see; Fender Precision Lyte - 1989 to present (de-fretted 1995) Jackson rock something or other - 1993 to 95 Tobias Toby Pro-4 - 1994 to 1997 (I miss this one) Warwick Streamer Stage 1 5 string - 1997 to 2007 Can't remember brand cheapish electro acoustic - 1997 to present (but out on loan) Fender Jazz '75 RI Japan - 2003 to present Musicman 5 string - 2007 to 2010 Fender Precision '72 RI Japan - 2010 to present Amps: Marshall 60w Combo - 1989 to 1992 Fender BXR 300 Combo - 1992 to 1993 (really heavy) Hartke 2000 head - 1994 to 2009 Trace Elliot 1153 cab - 1994 to 2009 Trace Elliot 210 cab - 1996 to 2009 Genz Benz Shuttle 3.10 combo - 2010 Genz Benz Shuttle 210 cab - collecting next week! The first realisation is I've had my Fender Lyte for 21 years! The second is that I had an amp for 15 years! The third is that of the 8 basses I've owned, I still have 4 The fourth is that I should have a Fender Japan endorsement! Writing it out brings so much clarity!

North London's better for me by far than Deptford I think I posted this somewhere above (can't remember), but if I can make the date then I'm happy to do a legal / copyright Q&A session if that's of any interest... Cheers Len

Just wondering how many other basschatters are attending? In fact, if I was a mod I think I would make it mandatory for all members! Hehe POW!!!!! Craig[/quote] I'll be going - still have 1 ticket spare. Am shocked at the lack of response to my post! Pow indeed!

I had one as my first bass (1989) - love it, still have it, got it defretted a few years ago, and it's still great. Highly recommended

What a brilliant idea

[quote name='kets' post='741332' date='Feb 10 2010, 07:18 PM']Ah Megadeth, takes me back to my youth! Remember going to see them in '90 when Clash of the Titans came to Edinburgh. Actually that's a lie, I only remember being pretty much deaf for about three days after it! Ellefson used to be a bit of a bass hero for me when I started playing bass, so it's good they're back together.[/quote] I went to the Clash of the Titans tour at Wembley when I was 15 - Suicidal Tendencies (Rob Trujillo was awesome), Testament, Megadeth and Slayer Rust in Peace was an awesome album. For me, it's Peace Sells, So Far So Good and Rust in Peace - all brilliant. I really didn't like Countdown to Extinction - I was so disappointed by it. Couldn't really listen to much after that.

It's taken me 20!
