Take the PIL @Bean9seventy and then all that is left is a wobble. The rest is rotten, better walk her away of the test of Levene for tea too.

Wasn't Richard Clayderman the father of all dance floor U.K. Funk Unit ? Or was it Prince Charles and the City Big Band ? Or maybe was it Lou Macari and his Marvelous Floor Hoovering Accordion ? No it was Leo and the Duco Selmer Fenders, right ? Telex for you, Mark, it's the King. Wanna slap ? Yeah it's Davie504 before Davie 504, in the blink of 182 eyes. It's a rotten one, Johnny. Viva Las Vegas.

@skankdelvar May I ask for a report to late 3022 as I'll have to learn all pre and post Indo-European languages and their first to last deviations to vaguely understand the erratic grammatical construction of the aforementioned sentences and decipher the Sumerian codex hidden in the signs wording ?

Recommended Listening for Walking Bass Suggestions Please.
Hellzero replied to PatrickJ's topic in General Discussion
Anything Be Bop from Wes Montgomery to early Miles Davis records are a great source of walking basses. The names have been mentioned, but strangely Charlie Mingus has been forgotten just like NHOP (Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen)... If you want some electric bass, then Alain Caron and Kyle Eastwood are amazing bass walker (nice name, I think), just like Tom Kennedy. There are so many great albums, but I would recommend one in particular as it features the late extraordinary Chet Baker in a terrific mood, alongside an amazing Jean-Louis Rassinfosse on double bass and the always musical guitar chord changer Philip Catherine : Crystal Bells. -
Active pre batteries going flat when no cable attached

Maybe giving the brand and model of the bass could be a great idea as it might help a LOT ! -
Did a partial trade with Paul. Everything went smooth fast and easy. Bass was as described and packaging was very good. A++++++++ as they say elsewhere. Cheers.

I can only, hélas, confirm what @Happy Jack has written as we made a strings group order some years ago and it was an awful experience as they didn't make sets, but they simply sent a lot of strings in a box... after a lot of emails asking for the said order. And there were some strings missing too. 🤦♂️

@Bean9seventy : If you could type, because you are not writing at all, some clear well structured sentences, it would be very helpful as there is some really useful information in the coded messages. Deciphering these chaotic amount of words is quite tiring, even if it's interesting. Make an effort, be concise, precise and structured, which should be the case as you program drum lines, but doesn't seem that obvious. There's always a before for everything in the universe, but something can become a catalyst and Mark King was one of those, clearly using his jazz rock, that was not yet called fusion, roots and adding a very personal drumming style slap that was and still is really different from whatever you can hear when it comes to slap. That said his fingerstyle playing is really terrific too and too many people seem to forget it. He also knows Indian music a lot. If you were there at the beginning, as you seem to tell us, you certainly know that there was no singing intended, but that it was the triggering factor that really launched Level 42 and Mark King. Mark King also didn't know that the Gould brothers were excellent lyricists, but that's another story.

Put some 250K pots instead and there you go.

It depends of the scale, but if it's an early bird, then it's a Stanley Clarke and 30.75 inches scale. If it has a 32 or 34 inches scale, then it's a Mark King, but it can't be that as the MK was only introduced in 1989...

The Big Fat Basschat Bootleg Christmas Quiz
Hellzero replied to yorks5stringer's topic in General Discussion
20. Wrong answer, Lou Deprijck was born in Lessines. Plastic Bertrand who was born Roger Jouret in Brussels has never sung on that hit, but was also a fake singer on his 4 first albums, only making playback !!! Lou Deprijck has always been the singer, composer, arranger and producer for these first 4 albums. I knew it from the late session drummer Bob Dartsch (original drummer for Ça plane pour moi) since the late 80's and the 2010 final judgment got Lou Deprijck definitely confirmed as the singer for Plastic Bertrand first 4 albums as Roger Jouret eventually recognised on the 28th of July 2010 that he never sung on his first four albums, including the mega hit Ça plane pour moi... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ça_plane_pour_moi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Deprijck https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_Bertrand -
That's a Stanley Clarke model with the point body (remember that you can order whatever shape you want by Alembic) as it doesn't have the hum-cancelling system, but the AXY pickups with the two filters and the two Q switches. So definitely a Stanley Clarke model.

Urm, why is it credited to ... Santana ?

Try @leitnerjoe. 😉 -
Looks like the real Tony Levin Signature MusicMan. Beware, it can burn in the barn spontaneously.

Mesa Boogie is the company @agedhorse has worked for, amongst others, certainly.

Nothing.

Indeed. If I remember correctly, I sold mine for 250 Euros in late 90's early 2000's... That said the delivery time for this reissue is ... 28 weeks, so better ordering now to be sure to get one, for those interested.

I had an original one in the 90's, but never found the chorus that terrific for bass, but the flanger was indeed great. Now I have the JAM pedals Waterfall (Bass edition) which is just what I need as a chorus and a great vibrato too.
