At Friday's gig, my band played 'Sex on Fire' and 'Wonderwall' among others. It seemed the entire pub was dancing and singing along.

Because probably more so than any other, Malmsteen is very much the guitarists guitarist. I would guess the majority of his audience are guitarists. So who is the market for this? How many bassists are going to buy a bass, because it's the sig model of a guitarist? Kind of in the same way as how many guitarists would buy a Jaco Pastorius signature model guitar? Bono and The Edge, are on the Fender board, so it must make sense somewhere

Not sure if this is a wind up, but it's on his official Facebook page. Jazz bass with Seymour Duncan pups.

I'm not a collector, so for me it's a case of if I get new gear I want to use it.

The Cult, at the Hammersmith Odeon last Sunday. They were better than when I last saw them 5-6 years ago, but they were missing a second guitarist which came through on a number of songs, despite the keyboard player trying to cover.

Halloween gig last night. Epic. At times it seemed the entire pub was dancing or singing along. I was f/x free for a change. No-one noticed 😒 We don't have any monitors, so it was the typical case of the sound on stage being different to FOH. I thought I sounded a bit trebly, but apparently out front it sat really well in the mix.

I came to bass from classical guitar, pretty much transferring the technique wholesale as it were, so not lazy and not poor. For me, I don't have any problems digging in - although my preference is not to - and I don't think when playing the Foo Fighters, or AC/DC, or Thin Lizzy, my sound is too polite. You are of course welcome to judge for yourselves, and I would be delighted to see you tonight 😎

i would not disagree!

One of my ramps, or Thumb-chum, as it got named as it is also a thumb rest and pick-up cover.

Back in the day, at a talk given by a chap who had at one point been in Van Morrison's band, a story was told regarding the last day of the tour, when before the gig each member of the band took one of Van's harmonicas, and wiped it up the crack of their derriere, then replaced it back on the rack. Such was the regard in which he was held. A challenging man to work for/with.

I've only gone and done it😱 Ordered it earlier 🙃

which was the one in a cage, so you could see the valves lit up? It looked amazing.😎

What would your signature instrument be?

My custom Shuker's are built to my design/spec, as signature models they would have limited appeal. -
i know this is a 'synth' pedal, but what are it's distortion capabilities?

i thought he meant 'cocoa solids'! 😮

i still fiddle about with one of these: https://www.yamaha.com/en/about/innovation/collection/detail/2080/

My naivety was such in years gone by, that I was shocked (and stunned) upon talking to a luthier, to discover that he had made the signature model guitar an artist played, and not the company whose logo was on the headstock. Apparently this is not uncommon.

If you could wind back the clock and....

I would not have bothered with an instrument at all, and instead would have become a dancer. From Cher, through Madonna and J-Lo, to Kylie, Britney and Christina etc - and half of The Spice Girls, and Girls Aloud - they've all hooked up with their dancers. As a young, fit, straight male dancer I could probably have filled my boots... -
so roughly £260 and no shipping. Bu993r. I may have to have a lie down as I'm experiencing a hefty amount of GAS.

Told a punter to 'get to f...' for the time last night!

now what the profanity filter has done here, is make it seem like I'm talking about someone who has been sniffing amphetamine sulphate! 😱 -
Hi, what's the current offer?

After Saturday's gig, during which I had stopped midsong to save the PA speaker going over after whizzed punter fell on to the speaker stand, the barman said "sorry about that whizzed up woman. Unfortunately she's a member of staff". -

A couple of gigs ago a punter wanted to high five me, while I was playing! 🙄 -
