[quote name='jmesa' post='560165' date='Aug 4 2009, 01:31 PM']I saw Chas and Dave at a rave last year. They rocked it! Was hilarious. Great player.[/quote] Saw them at the GBBF a couple of years ago. The acoustics didn't do them any favours (Olympia ) but otherwise it was the perfect event for them to play and I'm sure they look exactly the same as they did in the 80's

[quote name='yourchoiceguitar' post='559280' date='Aug 3 2009, 03:18 PM']Gonna throw this question out! I've been trying to think what musicians in the UK are able to buy from UK based sites and shops etc BUT is there anything out there we can't get in the UK but would like to get if we had the chance?? Anyone got any suggestions?[/quote] the non-export Fender jap stuff.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='558364' date='Aug 2 2009, 11:28 AM']I was having a discussion with a fellow band member the other day about feel, and whether it comes natural or can be taught. I reckon it's something you develop mainly by what you listen to and consequently play a great deal. How could you teach it? Any thoughts?...[/quote] in one of Paul Gilbert's git tuition videos he does a bit about feel. And does it quite well. So yes it can be taught. However like anything just because it can be taught doesn't necessarily mean it can be learned.

[quote name='woolz' post='558466' date='Aug 2 2009, 01:30 PM']i would love to come! do you have to bring all your gear or can you just come along?> dont quite understand what the day involves. do you turn up and try out eachothers rigs ?[/quote] it's like wife-swapping, you bring your own but play with everyone elses otherwise it's just a bunch of bass players chewing the fat about things the rest of the population would have no idea/not care/have no interest about. ie all things bass
