[quote name='cheddatom' post='73378' date='Oct 12 2007, 03:07 PM']For my triplets I use r-m-i as i-m-r just feels unnatural. I have been practicing going r-m-i-m-r-m-i etc for fast passages, and I can do it quite smoothly now. It was so difficult to get my fingers working that way at first![/quote] me too, but the fact i-m-r feels unnatural is why I'm practicing it now

thanks for that. I'm just about to take possession of some SAMSON 65A's. I'll let you know how I get on.

I had a crafty bid on this, and have just received this from Ebay: We'd like to let you know that this Item, 260167902652 - Status Series 1 Bass was removed from eBay for breaching of one or more of our listing policies.

I use B-E-A-D on y passive SUB. Works fine, but I had to file the nut and bridge saddle for the wider B string to fit. (well actually I got Jon Shuker to do it LOL)

[quote name='Mickeyboro' post='70009' date='Oct 5 2007, 02:44 PM']I'm talking to Billy next week for a magazine article and wondered if anyone had any questions they'd like putting on their behalf...particularly gear-related stuff.[/quote] ask if he can remember the first gig he did, where he didn't have to carry or set up any of his own equipment. cheers.

[quote name='finnbass' post='69533' date='Oct 4 2007, 03:15 PM']I didn't get past the first sentence: This is a Fender Precision Bass guitar from the 1950's - 1970's Period. Classic [/quote] yeah, I was worried he was going to be a bit vague about the date. now eagerly awaiting the next post from Beedster!

Started on classical guitar, 3 years later got an electric guitar, 4 years later started on bass.

[quote name='Johnny Wishbone' post='69558' date='Oct 4 2007, 04:31 PM']There was a band called Spoiler (Dutch, I think) who did a brilliantly ironic Stoner-ish cover of the Grease song "You're The One That I Want" a couple of years ago. I remember seeing it through a drunken haze at about three in the morning on Kerrang! TV, but I've never managed to find a copy of it. It was fantastic.[/quote] Arthur Mullard & Hilda Baker - Your the one that I want. Has to be seen to be believed!

unusual, but it seems to work. How does it play?

Luis Cardenas - Runaway Hanoi Rocks - Up around the bend Motley Crue - Smoking in the boys room Poison - Your Mama don't dance Lillian Axe - No matter what The Damned - Eloise Great White - Once bitten twice shy Def Leppard - Action

yep, interesting. As a side note, for me the best Warwick I've played belongs to G-77. It's an older model, and the neck is similar to a jazz. I haven't found newer models with as nice a neck. Would be sorely tempted if I did

so planning on having a jam with the local jazz combo?

Ah, corporate whores! It's difficult to know who to trust with endorsements, look at Nathan East - doesn't play live or record without his NE-1, then he's espousing the virtues of the Aphex line, then he's on to the Phil Jones Bass Buddy as the best bit of kit ever. Does Tony Levin play his signature model OLP? If it's not good enough for him it's not good enough for me.

but don't we all want a good deal on Ebay? If it was me that bought that, I'd be made up, but if I was selling it I be gutted! What's the betting that will be on sale soon with a reserve?

yep, used them and still have a spare pack. Used them on my old Guild B-301, soap bar pup, through my PJB. In one word awesome! The clarity was amazing, it's difficult to describe sound in words, but for me they were well worth the money. The only reason I'm not using them now is that I bough 4 string packs, and now I play a 4 tuned BEAD, and a 5 and 6.

thanks for the replies, looks like I've got a lot of homework to do

Following on from my previous thread, I've bought the hard disc recorder, and am now looking for some flat response monitors. I've got a £200.00 budget. Charic has already recommended Yamaha HS50M monitors. Any other opinions advice? thanks in anticipation.
