[quote name='Jon Liebman' post='506360' date='Jun 5 2009, 02:07 PM']A thousand apologies! We'll get Basschat up right away. Don't know how we could have overlooked it! Wal was on our list, but they don't seem to have a website. Anybody? We'll get Leigh Gorman up, too. Thanks for the heads-up.[/quote] Thanks for doing those. Another suggestion I'd like to make is for Dennis Dunaway to be included in the bass player's section.. His site is here: [url="http://www.dennisdunawayproject.com/"]http://www.dennisdunawayproject.com/[/url] Thanks

Played at a wedding yesterday; got paid well (good) but as it was outside in a marquee and it was chilly, hardly anyone bothered coming into to watch, dance or even heckle (bad)! Shame really, as we had a great sound, played well and even managed to do a flawless version of 'Live and Let Die' for the first time ever.. We have done some good ones before, but most of the time I find wedding gigs (compared to most others we do) are really, really awful.. Is that true generally or is it just me??

Very nice; don't see them too often over here..

Nice idea for a site but it needs to link & references to Basschat please.. And also, being selfish, please can you include references to Wal basses and Leigh Gorman (BowWowWow).. Very biased I know, but you've got to ask haven't you..

[quote name='BassBod' post='505040' date='Jun 3 2009, 08:53 PM']Yes, sold here a year or two ago (from me to elom)...recently on Manson's website...[/quote] Thought so.. I remember being tempted to go for it myself at the time, because it's a real quality instrument..

[quote name='BassBod' post='504927' date='Jun 3 2009, 06:34 PM'][attachment=26481:DSCN0743.JPG] Here's the recently sold Kestrel....as previously stated, a lovely bass.[/quote] Lovely! Was it sold here on Basschat because I seem to recall seeing it?

[quote name='elom' post='504361' date='Jun 2 2009, 11:48 PM']They surely did - just sold mine. Lovely bass.[/quote] Cool.. got any pics?

Congratulations; that a fantastic looking set up!

Very nice too! And what's more, a bass bought with 'the wife's' blessing... now that is special!

[quote name='Brother Jones' post='504274' date='Jun 2 2009, 10:04 PM']God this is lovely. What is such a rare beast doing in Leatherhead? ;-)[/quote] +1 I bet it sounds fantastic too! Didn't they do a Manson Kestrel model about that time as well...?

[quote name='WalMan' post='502054' date='May 31 2009, 03:02 AM']Back to Cheers next Friday[/quote] Hi Al, I'm in London that night otherwise would love to have come along and supported you! Hope it goes well and we must get that pint together at some point soon... Nik

[quote name='RomanMorykit' post='502679' date='May 31 2009, 11:10 PM']Yes indeed.. I'm the same Roman. Did we ever meet? I haven't heard the name Raising Cain in a long time! I used this bass on most of the sessions did there in the 80's. I now work with a different company in the US, called US Masters ( the link is in the previous posting) and I really love their basses (and guitars actually) It took a lot for me to change basses as I played the Goodfellow for well over 15 years. Cheers, Roman[/quote] Hi Roman Cool and yes, we did meet! You were friends with Paul Barber who worked there for Nick & Ian and I was in a band with Paul (Kickback) and he was our drummer.. I was the bass player of course.. I saw your band quite a few times and always enjoyed your playing a lot, as did Paul! Last I heard, Paul moved to Brisbane Australia in the early 90's... Those were the days! Nik

[quote name='4000' post='446472' date='Mar 26 2009, 09:49 PM']My new Sei Flamboyant 5 (bought used last week).... ...and the same with my Series 2 singlecut. [/quote] Just noticed those two; really gorgeous! And that's the nicest singlecut I think I've ever seen....

Hi Steve Glad to hear you made over to NZ safely and that things are looking more positive for you! That photograph is stunning - what a view! That natural beauty on it's own is enough to make the spirits lift I would have thought.. Anyway, good luck with it all.... No doubt we'll be hearing more from you soon! Nik

[quote name='RomanMorykit' post='500295' date='May 28 2009, 09:37 PM']Hello! My name's Roman and I'm new to this blog/chat thing, so if I offend anyone with the incorrect chat etiquette, I apologise in advance. I'm a Brit who's been living in the US for around 18 years and I have one of the early, original Goodfellows that I got in '85 or so. It has no serial number (unless it's hidden under the neck where it meets the body). It has been sitting in my closet for about a dozen years now, as I have had a sponsorship with another small bass company here in the US called US Masters. (here's a link if anyone's interested [url="http://usmasters.com/bassgallery.htm)"]http://usmasters.com/bassgallery.htm)[/url] I'm trying to find out what my Goodfellow is worth as I would like to sell it. It's a great instrument and deserves to be played. Any help that you can offer would be most appreciated. Here are some photos Cheers, Roman[/quote] Hi Roman Very nice bass ... Did you ever use it back the at a place in London called Prime Time, a rehearsal studio near London Bridge? Saw one like it there years ago and the guy who owned it was also called Roman and he played in a band called 'Raising Cain' if I recall correctly? Hence the reason for asking! Anyway, good luck with it... Nik
