    [quote name='inthedoghouse' timestamp='1490464662' post='3265337'] Bonnie Raitt for me [/quote] Live, yup, can't disagree. Next best for me - live - is Peter Cox. I've been seeing Go West live for best part of 30 years and I swear his voice gets better. My favourite track of theirs, not HD but his voice comes across well. http://youtu.be/Y6kMGaQda8g Of course there are a shed load of singers that I have never seen live but, for me, it is live music that earns the respect so I judge accordingly.

    Mrs S comes along to as many gigs of my small band as she can. She loves the music and reckons we are brilliant. I can't argue with that! As far as the new Bon Jovi tribute is concerned she went to our first small gig but doesn't really like Bon Jovi so probably won't come to many unless they are at big venues and local!

    [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1488641156' post='3250705'] We are having a conversation... [/quote] Bingo - Danny bought a Yamaha BB5000 for me today, looks like a corker. I am impatient already! Thanks for flagging this up folks!

    [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1490476058' post='3265454'] it comes down to the word subjective. i don't want to sound arty farty, but the word always has resonance in music and the arts. [/quote] Indeed. I didn't particularly like Nik Kershaw back in the day - dismissing him as a pretty boy with little talent - but seeing him recently has completely overturned that opinion. Perhaps it is the context of a guitar and keys band now, rather than the big synth sound. He is actually a very accomplished guitar player.

    That is fantastic to hear. Such a great bass deserves to be played. I actually bought it and collected it from a man in Holland, so I guess it has almost gone full circle.

    Nik Kershaw also tours a lot with Go West - I've seen them three times together now. Mr Kershaw is one of those charismatic individuals it is hard to ignore - massive stage presence. Incredibly funny to see them doing the same arm movements at one point - Nik and Peter Cox are, how can we say, very different altitudinally - very obviously done on purpose for comic effect. At one gig they both did a cover of one of each other's songs - Nik rearranged 'Missing Persons' and it was stunning.

    Yikes! Thanks for that. I can happily stop looking now

    Are you able to weigh this fairly accurately, please?
  9. Paul S
    How much does this weigh, please?

    I use Teamup for one band too. And you can export entries into Google, which is useful.

    [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1489879046' post='3260583'] What can you say about Chuck Berry, except legend [/quote] Some people might add he was a pervert and one of the nastiest human beings on the planet. But, yes, musically the world would be a very different place but for his genius.
  17. Paul S
    Depends entirely upon the sound you want, really. For me it is the Fender Original but others prefer Seymour Duncan 1/4lb er, which I find way too harsh. It is all so very subjective.
  18. Paul S
    OK, so this is a BT4, not a BT8. I am stupid and have caused myself and the guy interested some problems. So, here it is folks, a Hipshot BT4! Unhelpfully this isn't listed on the Hipshot website (one reason for my error), but Bestbassgear has this to say - 'The BT4 fits - American-made Fender '82-'84's, '90 and newer Elit's, P-Bass+ and J-Bass+, American Standard Jazz, and Deluxe P-Bass+ with thin stamped cloverleaf key.' Whatever that means. [url="http://www.bestbassgear.com/hipshot-bt4-bass-xtender.htm"]http://www.bestbassgear.com/hipshot-bt4-bass-xtender.htm[/url]

    On hold.....

    The one I want is the 5 string version of the BB3000, the BB5000. Actually that is incorrect, the one I NEED is the BB5000. Strongest GAS I have ever encountered...
  21. Paul S
    You could do a lot worse than an Orange TB500. I've just got one to use with my Supercompact and am enjoying it a lot.
  22. Paul S
    I generally have burger and chips before a pub gig at the venue, if they offer such a thing. Would that be Brit Floyd, by any chance? Difficult to tell from your avatar pic but you resemble their bass player.
  23. Paul S
    I've previously owned a Ibanez SR300, Squier VM Jazz and currently own a Yamaha BB425. I'd take the Yamaha over any of those every time.

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1489595836' post='3258263'] I always forget which came first: Rococobilly or Baroqueabilly. [/quote] I feel a band coming on... Big King Louis and the Barockettes, playing a selection of French 17th century rock and roll ditties.
  25. Paul S
    Bump!
