Don't SVT 8x10s do a similar thing? Well you said you wanted portable!!! B

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1432130396' post='2778432'] Of the three replacements and one rumoured in previous years: Tony Levin - brilliant, played his 'funk fingers' for most all the Squire parts, worked well with Bruford Billy Sherwood - ok sideman on guitar for Yes tour few years ago, not sure about bass Jeff Berlin - Great player, wrong for Yes - disdain for the music, no sense of rock tone or Chris' phrasing Jon Camp - Lined up for ABWH but Jeff Berlin got it. Addresses both JB's defects above... [/quote] But there is only ONE Chris Squire!!! Wishing Chris all the best & sending love & strength for the fight ahead Brendan

[quote name='CokeyW' timestamp='1431707629' post='2774206'] I find FretWraps more flexible than a foam mute as you can adjust the amount of mute more precisely. [/quote] Don't they just mute open strings? I can't see how they can mute fretted notes like a Foam mute??

It was not in Off-Topic this morning -- I never go in there B

What happend to todays thread about BB Kings passing?

Very Sad News -- RIP Blues Boy Bren

Hi MrWalker Try [url="http://statii.com/status_cats/index.html"]http://statii.com/status_cats/index.html[/url] For a starter Brendan

Neither of them seem to be available anywhere -- Can't even find them on the Manufactures' web-sites! Love to try one B

Has anyone updated their POD HD500 & installed the Bass pack yet??? Worth it? Any comments thought? Brendan

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1420479306' post='2649801'] Carol Kaye told me that she'd played that one. [/quote] GLOL

Thanks for the info. Enjoy your beautiful bass. Brendan

What a Beautiful Bass!!! Well done Billy Apple! I think there were a few of us peeping down the internet at this before you secured it! It will be very interesting if you & discreet get to try your US & his Euro together & report the sims/differences to those of us looking at Spectors! I don't suppose you got to try the [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=3]Helium [/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Forte at BD when you [/font][/color][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][color=#000000]tried yours for a comparison/report??[/color][/font] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] Brendan[/font][/color]

[quote name='RipperDen' timestamp='1419447385' post='2640122'] Sure, if you would send us some of your rain. We're dry here in California. [/quote] Stick it in, Twist it \, Pull it out!! LOL I live near Manchester UK, we have plenty of rain (snow at the moment!!!) How much do you want?? Remember your Sun Cream in your gig bag (funnily never had the need for it) !!! B

Hi RipperDen, Welcome Send Us some of your Weather Mate!! LOL Brendan

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1419260693' post='2638092'] Off topic, but just how lush is Al DiMeola's Les Paul tone on this? Makes me want to trade in my Tele for an LP. [/quote] I wouldn't mind "trading in" my clumsy podgy mitts for Al's dextrous digits!!! B

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1419247475' post='2637891'] Saw him recently with Hiromi and didn't really enjoy his flabby, piezo pickup tone on his new Fodera bass. [/quote] Oh I thought it sounded superb! But hey ho you have saved yourself GASsing for 30 grands worth of Axe! LOL Brendan

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1419176522' post='2637225'] I have no idea what age you were at the time (1982) but it's probably as much about social comment of the time as it was about the music. [/quote] Big +1000 [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1419176684' post='2637227'] That's why it's aged, it's not really relevant any more I'm sure it was great at the time but issues move on and new artists take up the baton. [/quote] If you think the "message" in "The Message" is not relevant at the moment! You really need to open your eye's!!! B

Caught him in London this year playing with Hiromi, FANTASTIC!!! Also, that Al Di Meola album (Elegant Gypsy -- but Anthony plays on a few Al albums) is a must B
