Has anyone mentioned Martin Clunes? Star of Men Behaving Badly, but played bass in the quality one-off drama [u]Hunting Venus [/u]as part of former New Romantic Band [i]The Venus Hunters[/i] who ended up playing a special one off, on the late show with Jools.

Bearing in mind the Google hits this site now generates (back on par with Bassworld?) and the growing global membership, it's a shame (and suprise) we don't have bods from Fender et al popping in and contributing to threads like this. I'm not suggesting every mention of a manufacturer should warrant their time and effort, but here we have a legitimate consumer issue that is generating interest. And to add to an earlier point, IMO if a signature model bass is not good enough for the signature artist to play, why should it be good enough for me?

Hey Nick how's it going?

try putting a bit of vaseline on the wrist before you play.

you should write the whole thing up, and send it to BGM. They could do with a new feature - real bassists, with real gear!

I'm not generally a Ricky fan, but that looks sweet.

was a classical guitarist first, and got the first electric 3-4 years later. Moved on to bass another 3-4 years later. Classical guitar technique lends itself better to bass than electric guitar - especially if you are a finger playing, which is what I am

because so much more of the kneck is joined to the body, this helps increase sustain and affects the tonal characteristics. OSIH.

I sugest you to save the money for BR1200CD or BR1600CD cause they dont have Compact Flash,they are truly harddisk recorders,they came with 40 gigabyte hard disks!Hear some of recordings with BR1600 CD on my myspace site![/quote] hi, you've got it sounding good. I checked the spec of those, but they were just a bit more technical than I could cope with.

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='45229' date='Aug 14 2007, 01:51 PM']Nice price, but I'm waiting to hear back from someone about a Boss.[/quote] and I did indeed buy it but now I'm wondering about some monitors, something cheap that can handle a low B

"The amplifier automatically senses and adjusts itself to local voltage.” nice

Bought a BOSS BR600 off him. Pleasure to deal with. if you can't trust a man who drives an ambulance who can you trust?

[quote name='ped' post='52374' date='Aug 29 2007, 03:15 PM']There is some discussion about Oxford being a possible area for the next 'national' meet - does that sit well with most people?[/quote] the roads into Oxford can be a bit of a sod. I'm a bit set in my ways and don't like change. Have we been barred from the ususal place?

Haven't got a Scooby. Looks nice though.
