[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1487190512' post='3237982'] Those aren't Shergolds. This however (Custom Double bass/12-string just out of shot) [/quote]Let's have a look then 😀

Personally I don't like relicing but I think a naturally worn bass increases a players credibility no end. [attachment=238255:Adam Clayton.jpg]

Good thread. U2!

And I've sorted the g/f for Valentine's already

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1487009495' post='3236240'] Yes! You dont rate her. We get it! [/quote]Actually I never said or implied that.

[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1486979695' post='3235936'] Or 'great' because what she plays adds to the songs and in many cases makes them. That's pretty creative. I'm not sure what ability she lacks for doing that? Should she slap a fretless 6 string left handed to make the songs better? [/quote]In that case there are more 'great' bass players around than I thought. Keep trying to justify her greatness ad nauseum people...

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1486954563' post='3235852'] That they did. [/quote]Agreed, but the subject's Tina.

Great: influencing culture by your ability or creativity.

Just watching the Going for the One sessions on YT. Impressed with how on it they were.

Sting - Little Wing.

'Great' bass player? Show me great.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1486856614' post='3235141'] Is that a new Rickenbacker model? [/quote] He's just described it as 'good for hillbilly!'

[attachment=237988:Ridiculous bass.jpg] Wants suggestions for a hard case? I suspect actually putting strings on it may cause some structural damage.

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1486666969' post='3233733'] This was one of the other Warwick prototypes [/quote]Thanks for that, nice to see how they developed.

U2, Helter Skelter.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1486679238' post='3233869'] +1 And, dare I say it around here, anything by Jamiroquai - especially the first album - leaves me totally cold! Synthetic, 'wannabe Stevie Wonder', funkless drivel.. and that's it's good points! [/quote]I'll up you a +1. Had the great misfortune to listen to the first couple of albums a while back. With the exception of the singles as described above.

Jealous Guy by Roxy Music.

It might have been mentioned already but here goes; the debut Stone Roses album. Utter sh*te. I'm guessing the reviewers who proclaimed it to be the saviour of music were 'E'd up like all the fans.

Another effing Flea Jazz post? What was wrong with the other one that had millions of BCers wetting themselves?

I park my cabs on two of those kneel down gardening pads - cheap as chips. Can we have another Fender thread or one about heft now please?

[quote name='steantval' timestamp='1486418392' post='3231681'] Maybe, but they will be top class musicians backing one of the greatest rock/blues vocalist in the world. [/quote]Sorry I meant tribute band with one original member.

You can't buy it cos it isn't actually for sale, it's just some loony attention seeking trip the buyer enjoys. He's had it on the bay for ages now on and off for various BIN's - as relatively low as £2.5k recently. Only a complete lunatic would consider it as useful to anyone as a musical instrument.

I've just Wiki'd the band - you'd think they'd have invited the ten million musicians who've been in the band since the late seventies to a farewell show, including Ian Gillan bwah-hah-ha!

[quote name='Misdee' timestamp='1486151527' post='3229726'] Tina Weymouth is a good shout, also, from the same era, Sting. I know that nowadays some people roll their eyes at his public pronouncements on eco issues etc, but back in the day when The Police burst onto the scene Sting was a captivating presence, a creative and innovative bass stylist. A role model to a whole generation of post-punk bass players. [/quote]Good call re Sting. There was a very short period at the beginning where The Police were actually cool.
