+1 on the p/ups being Bill Lawrence.. Nice bass by the way!

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1459072121' post='3013236'] Superb work there! Will you be open for business and custom orders soon? [/quote] +1 Great to see something like this; really makes you realise what alternatives there are, instead of always just buying what's already out there in the marketplace.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1459109174' post='3013629'] My Wal was 30 years old yesterday. I think I will keep it. [/quote] Congratulations on the birthday and for making such a wise decision.. I think you and your Wal are inseparable.. My BC Rich Eagle is about 30 years old, and the Hayman 40 40 that I bought recently is almost 40 years old.

It was packed in there and for the first time since I was a kid, I got down the front early (and I mean, the front). Lasted about 25 minutes, it was too hot. What a band, if you haven't seen them, just do it. [/quote] What a great story. Always liked Reef!

Cheers Colin

Fabulous gig last night at the St Paul's Art Centre in Worthing, West Sussex. It was a David Bowie Tribute event held to celebrate the musical genius of the late, great Starman himself, and to help raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer research... Lots of different artists played various Bowie songs from the 60s right through to the present day and my band, Replay, did 'Fame', 'Fashion' and 'Rebel, Rebel'. The crowd loved it and it was an absolute honour for me to take part, being a life-long Bowie fan! Also, it gave me a chance to do a 2nd gig with my recently acquired Hayman 40 40, which is such a great bass it's managing to usurp my BC Rich Eagle at the moment, which has been my 'go to' bass for a long time now.. Anyway, here's a few of pictures.. One of the band, one with me and my usual 'bass-face' and one of the venue from the balcony. As I hope you can see, it's a beautiful venue! And a very cool looking bass... [attachment=215582:FB_Y7U4239.jpg] [attachment=215583:FB_Y7U4223.jpg] [attachment=215584:FB_Y7U4251.jpg] Cheers, Nik

[quote name='pobrien_ie' timestamp='1458896305' post='3011868'] I sold a cab to Mike this week. He's highly knowledgeable in all things bass, and was great to deal with from start to finish. Highly recommended!! [/quote] +1

Fabulous!

Trouble is, there's so, so many wonderful singers. It all depends what mood I'm in and what type of music I feel like listening to.. But if I had to choose, then these would be my favourites I suppose,because I've listened to them repeatedly over the years , and still do. Male: Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Bowie, Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, Prince, Jeff Buckley, Jim Morrison, Guy Garvey, Lennon/McCartney. Female: Kate Bush, Ronnie Spector, KD Lang, Bjork, Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin, Jane Siberry, Alison Goldfrapp, Amy Winehouse, Minnie Ripperton. Some brilliant names already mentioned above too!
