Andy Rourke ....yes.. Alex James...............just, no....no.......no.....no....

"Somethings got me started" by the singing pigs band...(Simply Red) some tricky bíts........ but I like playing those bits!!! and....annoy shop assitants with those...

you come out of this whole thing best, for being honest,forthright and above all professional. plus the no charge for looking/trying at the job for some time..well thats just really decent. hope your reward isn't just in "heaven" ....btw my stingray could do with a look at where's your shop?

[quote name='KingPrawn' post='689486' date='Dec 20 2009, 07:28 AM']Just wondering if any of you have footage of your special little noodle ( LICK). the one you use in a music shop to silence all others. we all have them.[/quote] "Mark King style triplets" will get you thrown out on your ear,young man!!! I know this...... to my cost (ouch!!) but then again, I most likley deserved it!

Quick one .. its not so much what you know, it's WHO you know... that's the REAL key......

I'd allways thought that "minder"bass part was played on a stingray(talk about "train spotter").....well who knew eh?

A man of your pedigree and experience....you'll have heard his stuff/playing and as you point out, not realised it before...to have done 1/2 of that eh?

[quote name='RhysP' post='688647' date='Dec 18 2009, 07:17 PM']You haven't heard of Mo Foster? Blimey.............[/quote] Yeah! what he said....

That REALLY made me smile!! and I'm usually the worst kind of a Scrooge,as well....so.. Big thanks to the Guv'nor for the "cheer up" Happy Xmas Mark, and all you Basschatters! From chez Wittreth By The Way... Innit great that a successful artist STILL gives a toss?

GK(and combined with Hartke) tends to be an intellectual/studied/rich&wisemans' choice KWIM? personally I like the caveman green & very loud choice of trace elliot!!! tee heee!! (As they say in comics)

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='675604' date='Dec 6 2009, 12:39 PM']3Oth aniversary eh, I wonder if they'll get the original band back together for that.[/quote] would be a great idea come to think of it , but I'd bet not if they do and I'd not seen it, GAHHHH!!

Oh Yeah!! Mr Funk, Id forgoten till I saw it again!! thanks!!

Ive seen" all the kings men "...what .....15 times... and they never disapoint me. I know all the stuff, many times over, but still love em!!! dont care who knows it, I'm a fan......A good thing to be of anything really, KWIM?

dont get me wrong chris wd does work but, only if you are preparied to sort out/ clean up afterwards and that will be a bugger of a job (emergency only) so..go to maplins Id say!! atb

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='674773' date='Dec 5 2009, 10:06 AM']yayayyyyaaaay i love the Apollo. I do worry that Mr.King and co seem to start the tours here, hmmm, see if the lady Travis wants to go to london.[/quote] The Apollo is great innit? still I love watching players of that calibre getting "first night nerves"KWIM? makes me feel a bit less $hite Ha Ha

I'm sure you've tried maplins own, spray of switch cleaner? if not do. But if that doesn't work on the outside, try a quick spray inside! on pots only. minimum amount of screw removal involved. ps. DONT use wd40 it attracts dust and makes thing worse in the long run (bet you knew that though!)

[quote name='urb' post='661771' date='Nov 22 2009, 01:49 PM']Awesome gig at the CBSO Centre in Birmingham - place was pretty much sold out (aournd 500 peeps) we played really well, I was comepletely relaxed when I went on and my sound was about 10x better than in the sound check - was really in the groove with the drummer and that made everyone else get into it - only bummer was my G string decided to lower itself too much so it became unplayable above the 15th fret - just in time for my nice melodic solo - had to switch to plan B and added a few unwanted "jazz" notes - but got away with it - just! But I had loads of positive feedback from people afterwards - it's a killing band and we'll no doubt keep improving - a very satisfying night all round. M[/quote] 15th fret? Wheres that?

The premier & best Manc venue... the Apollo

"Always the right notes at exactly the right times," OOHH!! sorry, really not taking the pi$$ But that made me smile/laugh, one for the quote thread...? despite, knowing what you mean ,in context... prehaps the ultimate compilment/competance for ANY musician (Eric Morecambe to Andre Preview, anyone?)

I dont know what I've done to deserve this, but Mrs W has got us some Level 42 tickets for next year ,for us both, without my knowing, 'till now!! 30 year aniversary tour whos going?!?? ha ha ha (rubs hands ect)
