[quote name='Low End Bee' post='731713' date='Feb 1 2010, 01:50 PM']Precisions of course. Jazzes necks are too skinny and the extra knob confuses me.[/quote] Jazzes of course. Jazz necks are perfect and the extra knob makes you look like a musician.

Hopefully this puppy arrives at chez farmer61 tomorrow, I cannot wait....! better pics in due course! :brow:

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='244536' date='Jul 21 2008, 03:26 PM']So what music you listening to right now? Lets see how much people's tastes vary... I'm currently listening to Skindred - Kiss and Make up... tuuuuuuuuune![/quote] A New Found Glory - Sticks and Stones

Very very sad news. Makes you stop and think to start to count your own blessings.......

[quote name='ianwild16' post='726287' date='Jan 27 2010, 01:18 PM']Doesn't that have a bit of fuzz bass in it?[/quote] Don't know tbh, just thinking more along the lines of the chorus.....plus it would only have to be an approximation before people join in...?!?

[quote name='ianwild16' post='726181' date='Jan 27 2010, 11:49 AM']Just found out Englands first game of the world cup against the USA is on at 8.30pm on Sat 12th June....which clashes with our gig at a pub in Bolton. Gonna see if we can set up early, watch the game, then go straight on and obviously play a bit later. Have you any idea's for England / football songs which we could play? I've thought of - Three Lions - Lightining Seeds We are the Champions - Queen.... Then I've got a bit stuck. Perhaps some tunes which would fit in with a St Georges Day gig we've got as well... I'd prefer to keep the tunes 'PC' ish....! Ta , Ian[/quote] A version of "Vindaloo" would prob go down a storm We've purposly not arranged gigs on match days, too much risk of atmosphere going flat after the game, plus we can watch 'em all!!!!

[quote name='basshead56' post='722312' date='Jan 23 2010, 04:51 PM']Oh, and neck dive is not really an issue with the studio model! There is about 4 or 500 quid of a difference between the Tbird and TBird studio[/quote] I'm guessing that the Studio is the chepaer model??? Cheers

[quote name='neilb' post='705177' date='Jan 8 2010, 09:47 AM']I love that scooped sound.[/quote] +1

....to gig with my Double Bass...

25 for Uncle Jack and 21 for MonkeyDolls, a world record.......for me

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='669878' date='Nov 30 2009, 11:52 AM']Yeah, we sometimes take a feed from the kitchen without the venue staff knowing. In fact sometimes we get told to do this by the venue staff.[/quote] +1 it's the only way to beat 'em.

Yep, it was the most humiliating experience I've ever had playing. Played the first set and played really well we thought then got asked at half time not to go back on because the "sound wasn't cutting through to the back" !!?!!! Got paid but had to wait around until the DJ had finished at about 1am before we could start to pack up. Couldn't drink the free beer cause I was driving, so took it home instead. Had a sh*te couple of hours waiting to leave the venue as we discussed the real reason for being asked not to go back on. Still have bad thoughts about the night and still refer back to it when booking gigs at new venues!! Horrible!

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='670115' date='Nov 30 2009, 04:15 PM']Heh, I've just come up with a 16th reason - band objectives are ill-defined or non-existent. But yes, you're right. I should just tell him "I don't want to play for free to 5 people." And if that's a deal-breaker for him, then he can find a bass player who will. S.P.[/quote] If you're spending time drawing up lists with 16??? reasons for leaving, you should have left a while ago!

[quote name='Raggy' post='661046' date='Nov 21 2009, 02:45 PM']Saw them Sunday in Swindon. Seen them both loads of times, and they just seem to get better. The bass Damned Stu was using was an ESP Viper (I think thats what its called) have seen him with a few other ESP's. And Lemmy has just got such a cool stage presence. Girlschool wernt bad either, took me right back Best gig I have been to in a long time.[/quote] I was there too, ears ringing for days afterwards............Killed by Death - Brilliant

The Strawbs in Swindon circa '73 with my older brother. First gig with mates, unsupervised - Quo at the Hammersmith Odean - '77 - big adventure and great gig!!!!!

I'd like to try a Gibson Thunderbird, before I end up buying one blind!

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='666154' date='Nov 26 2009, 12:38 PM'][b]A Rickenbacker 4001/3[/b] I'm in the 'they look cool' camp. Some of my favourite players have used one. They seem to be ridiculously expenxsive at the moment though. [b]A 5 or more string[/b] Even though the last three bands I've seen where the bassist has had one they've never touched the B string. Still I'd like to re enforce or overcome my prejudice. [b]A Hofner[/b] To see if it really is more than a shoe box with elastic bands. [b]An active[/b] Yep. I really haven't.
