[quote name='Scoop' post='755960' date='Feb 24 2010, 11:46 AM']and just bloody gorgeous.[/quote] this is true!

I've played different gigs as support to female strippers and male strippers (The Dream Boys). Guess which was more fun? Actually the Dream Boys gig, coz we got free booze and food!

I know the brother of no1 pop star Ellie Goulding, via an internet forum for bass players

are we all signing this one?

I used to have 2 red Kubicki's. When gigging it made sense having the spare bass the same as the one being played. Having said that, one was made by Phil Kubicki and the other was made by the Fender custom shop and had better electronics.

I've mentioned him before, but [b][color="#696969"]Peter King [/color][/b]is criminally lacking in the renown he deserves - and would probably have if he was from the States.

got me some quality time booked in front of i-Player than.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='763151' date='Mar 3 2010, 05:18 PM']I am unsure whether there is any connection between Andysguitarnet and Andy's Guitars, the now-defunct retailer previously occupying premises on Denmark St. The latter has incurred some particularly pungent criticism from several members here, relating to allegedly questionable business practices.[/quote] nothing allegedly about Andrew John Preston and his questionable business practices. I have the court papers from when he stole my Fender Bassman 135 head - sold it and didn't give me the money - but he managed to claim bankruptcy while still keeping hold of his Rolls Royce. (I have the legal papers from this too) IMO he is scum of the most vile order and should be avoided at all costs regardless of where he is know working.[color="#FF0000"] The above is my opinion alone backed up by the legal documents I have which are a matter of public record. I am willing to share these records. Opinion in this post is not necessarily that of Basschat, it's owners or users.[/color]

have a great gig in Cambridge, but don't peak too soon, leave something for that London

if you are anywhere near that London and are going to the London Bassbash, I'll take mine and you can have a fiddle.

As general rule - 1 finger per fret. that has the first 4 frets covered. If your little finger is on the 4th fret, you should be able to move your hand so your index finger is on the 5 fret without looking, then you have postions 5, 6, 7, and 8 covered. Adjust for what key or position you start on. I tend to find looking at the fretboard gets in the way of throwing shapes and posing [attachment=43745:dsc_0119.sized.jpg]
