  1. I think white folk are sh!t scared of everything these days. Do it.
  2. You're right about some people hate slap bass Doc, because i'm one of those, but when Level 42 hit the streets, it seemed absolutley right and i found myself falling in love with MK's technique. You have no worries pal. Your playing AND singing is top notch. Playing a bass and singing is an art in itself, and even harder when using such a bass technique as MK's. The whole band sound 100% and i'm sure everyone wishes you the best of luck. Once you get noticed, which you will, there'll be no shortage of work, i guarantee Carry on sir.

      I'm glad you changed it to ;

      I'm a bit sensitive about Womble bashing.  I was born in Wimbledon Hospital.

  4. Its pretty shocking isnt it. Even the only photo he could be bothered to take is useless There's this coven of plebians who think they have no need to bother, because their stuff will sell itself, i guess.
  5. This guy has nailed it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trace-Elliot-GP12SMX-bass-amp-with-410-cab/293307670550?hash=item444a7fe016:g:apMAAOSw6INdvCsU
  6. Takes the pressure off ! Like Mr WIB, i also had surgery ( replacement hip due to old car accident ) late November last year and was gigging New Years eve. The guys and girls in the band sorted everything from picking me up at home, hauling the gear to the car, then into the pub, set it up, tore it down and tranpsorted me and the rig back home again. It can be done !
  7. Has he got typing tourettes ? "Prototype Ghostbass 5 String Very.rare Only 4 In The World. Condition is Used.Prototype Ghostbass 5 String Very.rare Only 4 In The World. Condition is Used. Prototype "
  8. Changed my mind when i noticed they're playing Milton Keynes. Tickets already bought
  9. Yeah i agree it may be worth going just to see Jones and Goodsall, but its a long way for me
  10. Nah, wont be going. With Collins, Pert and Lumley all missing, its not the same band for me. I know Collins wasnt the orignal drummer and Pert wasnt at the start either, for me the perfect lineup was Jones, Goodshall, Collins , Lumley and Pert.
  11. Being in a funk band, i naturally take the other side, but we all have our likes and dislikes, blah blah. What i dont like is slap in funk songs, or any song really. It seems to me, ( only IMO ) that its more a technique than anything else, and its a tool that some bassers use to exact a " look at me " thingy. There just doesnt seem to be any musicality in there. Thing is, if had more talent, i'd be in a Brand X outfit, because Percy Jones bass playing really floats my kayak and has been till Brand X fell off the planet. I think i have around 4 CD's of that band and have had them since the 80's.
  12. The seller could send you anything inside a bass case, if they were out to scam you. Tracking will prove it was delivered. PP dont give a toss if the item has been signed for. Or the seller could simply withdraw the money, tick the " item posted " box and close the account. These things have already been done
  13. Not true. Paypal is not 100% safe for a buyer
  14. Been a member since 2004 - dont go there much, but had a quick check anyways, and seems fine from my end.
  15. Amen Got her first 2 CD's and wouldnt part with them.
  16. Yeah that could have been what i saw, but it was '94 so all i can remember about the bass was the vague shape. Still a great gig though
  17. Is his brother slightly salted or unsalted ? There's a big difference ya know
  18. I was thinking Prince Charles gave great customer service when i saw the title. How wrong i was
  19. Saw Crow at the Shepherds Bush Empire , London , a treat from my partner back then for my 40th. Utterly brilliant. Played both guitar and les paul style bass. Clapton - On - Sea came on in the 2nd half
  20. I was too off me face to remember the bass
  21. Funnily, i didnt like Stampede as much
  22. Likewise - still got Toulouse St, What Were Once Vices and Capt. and Me in my CD wallet Fabulous band
  23. Posted a pedal for sale and Nick inquired and paid within an hour of the sale being posted. This is how to do business Cheers Nick
