Indeed, even though it was a lie circulated by the Police after the raid.

I wouldn't use a set of strings because Pino has his name on them. But I would use the strings that Pino is using, which, if you ignore the marketing, seem to be TI and Labella.

I bought so many sets of Stadium strings that Nick started giving me a discount.

I Got You (I Feel Good) was recorded in 1965. Predates any other Funk record I know about.

I spent many an hour lurking at the Bass Centre. Eavesdropping on the likes of Cass Lewis, Joe Hubbard and Dave Bronze. I never bought a bass, but I bought many sets of strings, several amps and a few cabs over the years.

That's like saying talking is enough and I don't need to learn to read or write. Lessons have nothing to do with brain-washing. They give us the tools with which we can express ourselves more fully and more completely.

Duh!!!! I missed one out. . . . !

Hi, forget the science lesson, your amp can run. . . . 1 x 8 ohm cab (8 ohms) 2 x 8 ohm cabs (4 ohms) 3 x 8 ohm cabs (2.67 ohms) 1 x 4 ohm cab (4 ohms) 2 x 4 ohm cabs (2 ohms) 1 x 8 ohm cab and 1 x 4 ohm cab (2.67ohms) That's it. You're good with these configurations.

I never understand why people want to eradicate all traces of their sales. IMO it's better to keep the For Sale ads for future reference.

I replaced the pickup in my passive Precision with a Bartolini. That was a 1000% improvement. I then added the preamp and the improvement was marginal. I had a cheap Jazz bass which sounded pretty wooden. I put it through a preamp pedal and the sound improved a bit, but was nowhere near what I needed. My advice is to start by replacing the pickups. That might be all you need, and if you also go down the preamp route at a later date you'll get a much better sound.

Hi. You guys are having some rough times over there right now. Hope you are safe.

Great shot. That's the right colour for a bass. . . .

What string gauges and make do you use for that tuning?

Give me a break! I can't remember that far back!! Probably something like Green Onions by Booker T and the MG's
