[quote name='dood' post='507476' date='Jun 7 2009, 12:53 PM']Or possibly Paul Gray as in 'Eddie and the Hotrods', 'UFO' and 'The Damned' - not 100% sure about the damned, but he defintely toured with Captain Sensible's band. Awesome Gibson Thunderbird tone and WHAT A PLAYER![/quote] yep, he was in the Damned between The Hotrods and UFO. He replaced Algy Ward after Machine Gun Etiquette. I think he does a column in BGM.

Was it Eden who on their website had the amp that had been through a house fire? IIRC it was scorched and the nobs had melted away but it still worked fine.

I don't think anyone would be posting on this thread if they didn't care. We all want a great Bass mag.

[quote name='silddx' post='506926' date='Jun 6 2009, 12:51 PM']In an age of DAW and sequencers, why do you bother playing bass at all?[/quote] hasn't harmed Def Leppard. [quote name='Bassassin' post='506941' date='Jun 6 2009, 01:15 PM']It is a bit of an old chestnut, this. The answer is simple. "Bassists" who use plectrums are not true bassists - they are failed guitarist scum and it is the duty of every right-thinking real bassist to seek them out and smash their hands with a hammer, so they do not cheapen & degrade the purity & skill of proper bass playing with this abominable perversion of theirs. Praise The Lord. Easy, really. Jon.[/quote] what he said

[quote name='Buzz' post='482094' date='May 7 2009, 03:46 PM']I don't see how being good with watch repairs is obscene..... [/quote] Tell that to Sylar. No news for a while. Still waiting I knew the 4 week completion date was a tad optimistic

I'd still stick with the P. Verndine White seems to always have had a p pup on all the basses he used, so that would be good enough for me

Well if the choice is from your sig I'd say the P will be ideal.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='505863' date='Jun 4 2009, 09:45 PM']Could be the old triple switcheroonie - P on Dirnt, T on Jazz, Jazz on P. Happens more often than you'd think - retailer gets bored on a wet Wednesday in Morecambe and decides to change all the necks around for a laugh.[/quote] So don't buy a bass in Morecambe?

[quote name='obbm' post='503639' date='Jun 2 2009, 11:47 AM']If you go to the store you will see that the owner/first poster also writes tuition/transcription books so it's probably a marketing exercise for him to sell his wares.[/quote] doh! didn't notice that.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='503627' date='Jun 2 2009, 11:31 AM']Just wondered who else might have seen this new bass website called 'For Bass Players Only'. (Or am I just late to this particular party!? ) [url="http://www.forbassplayersonly.com/"]http://www.forbassplayersonly.com/[/url][/quote] you are early if anything! The only posts are by the guy who created the site, so early days. Looks USA based, but I will probably keep an eye on it.

Not just for KISS fans, a great rock show all round!

[quote name='Spoombung' post='498909' date='May 27 2009, 03:45 PM']The bass actually needs a few tweeks (I'll elaborate later)and annoyingly, I have to try and find time to take it back to Mike ASAP to get it sorted out.[/quote] So what were the tweaks?

[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='501228' date='May 29 2009, 08:51 PM']Here's page 2 (possibly). Also, on a similar note, I saw a piece by Brian Ferneyhough which was in 4/12. That just about caused a riot when I queried it over on TalkBass.[/quote] yes but a 12th of what

[quote name='Rich' post='501142' date='May 29 2009, 05:50 PM']I think he tried to fire himself via text once, but then he agreed to meet himself at a neutral pub to try to iron out both his difficulties. It's all sorted now.[/quote] I think I should meet myself at a neutral pub and have a word
