Spoombung

Probably the saddest and most moving song I know of

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='1061528' date='Dec 17 2010, 01:29 PM']cool thread. Your old band sound like someone Primus may have been influenced by.[/quote] I taught Les Claypool everything he knows.

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1061538' date='Dec 17 2010, 01:37 PM'][/quote] £11.99 to adjust the action? You've convinced me...

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='1061501' date='Dec 17 2010, 12:56 PM']Have you tried imperial allen key sizes as well? They're usually frustratingly close to the metric sizes, but not close enough to do the job properly.[/quote] I'm not sure. I've got two keys that nearly fit either side of the measurement... but don't.

[quote name='Rich' post='1061490' date='Dec 17 2010, 12:37 PM']*Allen You might well find that your bass needs a 'chinese 4mm' key... i.e. anywhere between about 3.5 and 4.5mm without actually being 4mm. [size=1]ps. I still listen frequently to your Kirby Dots album... mesmerising stuff.[/size][/quote] Thanks for coming to the rescue, Rich. Yes, the key is an awkward size between two well known sizes - so I'm sure you're right even. It's probably more like a O.4, though. Glad to know you're still enjoying Kirby Dots

Nice. Why is it in B&W, I wonder?

I have the same problem with my Iceni Bass. Batteries last for 3 weeks with minimal use

[quote name='Clarky' post='1056799' date='Dec 12 2010, 11:25 PM']Incredible bass player. I dug out my old copy of 'Livestock' by Brand X the other day and played it. Not really a jazz-rock afficionado but that album really hits the spot with me. Very atmospheric and melodic. The distinctive sound he had with the fretless Precision is the same as he had with a fretless Wal and now a fretless Ibanez, proving that it really is in the fingers ... not the instrument.[/quote] I'm in full agreement.

[quote name='Rodders' post='1055728' date='Dec 12 2010, 10:01 AM']Its on Youtube aswell :-) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NO_Pq3p5i4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NO_Pq3p5i4[/url][/quote] Thank goodness for that! Thank you, Rodders.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1055239' date='Dec 11 2010, 06:32 PM']Would like to see this but don't want to be monitored on any SN sites.[/quote] Are you a secret agent or something, Steve?

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='1055214' date='Dec 11 2010, 06:09 PM']And if you're not on Facebook?[/quote] Hard luck, I suppose. Pretending Facebook isn't on the internet is akin to flat-earthing these days.

Some great playing here [url="http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1385263349961"]http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1385263349961[/url]

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1052999' date='Dec 9 2010, 04:47 PM']That's a fine looking new ACG, which I guess takes some of it's inspiration from the Affirma? Has it got the ACG EQ1 Filter pre-amp? And if so how do you think it measures up against the pre-amp in the Wal?[/quote] Yep, right on both accounts and I'll get round to answering all that in detail soon...

[quote name='stinson' post='1052811' date='Dec 9 2010, 02:35 PM']I think I remember seeing you playing that Wal on The Tube in the mid 80's? Bet thats seen some serious action! Nice collection[/quote] Yep, that'll be the one. God, I wish Ipswich Town FC has a player anywhere near the quality of John Wark.

[quote name='nick' post='1049797' date='Dec 6 2010, 08:16 PM']I'm happy to say, [i]that[/i] amp is on some great music in my collection! [/quote] nice one!

Still my main amp:

Very, very nice indeed.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1042852' date='Nov 30 2010, 08:06 PM']Selling basses, the most common thing I hear is: 'I've been told it's easier than playing guitar'[/quote] It is.

Very impressive looking design

[b]4[/b]. Never been tempted by more. Reasons are: 1. I honestly [i]cannot [/i]hear notes below a D (yes I know this is a tone lower than the E but it's not a good enough reason to go to 5) 2. I don't like the thick cable-like B string. That's the first thing you see on a 5 string. It turns me off. A high C does not appeal either. 3. A 5 needs lots of extra muting and dampening 4. I would rather hear a higher octave with more fundamental than a lower octave with virtually no upper harmonics. 5. Nothing beats the sheer joy of having four strings under four fingers for me. That's what attracted me to the bass in the first place.
