[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1341313631' post='1716702'] What do you intend to use it for? "Acoustic" gigs? Noodling at home? Something else? [/quote] Yeah - I'd be intrigued to know, too. Then again, I've never quite seen the point of acoustic basses.

Or, you can buy the mp3 online for about 60p.

As an aside, that's him (and Mick Fleetwood) on Werewolves of London, too. Zevon recorded it with various rhythm sections - including his regular guys - with no joy. McVie and Fleetwood nailed it.

How odd. [url="http://fenderjapan.co.jp/jb_ho.html"]More info here[/url] (in Japanese, obv.)

[quote name='D.I. Joe' timestamp='1340993168' post='1712658'] Or does anyone have flats for sale or know where I could get them dirt cheap? [/quote] How cheap is dirt cheap? You can get Lakland flats for about £22, and they're great.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340703255' post='1708208'] Nothing to do with Kindle - but I think there's something strange about the members list, every time I've used Personal Message, if I then click on the 'View New Content' button it always takes me to the Members List, latest members, until I click View New Content a second time. That's on my PC, Chrome, Windows XP & Laptop with Vista. [/quote] That's by design, innit. Do you see the tabs at the top? Forums, Members, Calendar, Shop, etc.? The 'View new content' button shows you the new content for whichever of the tabs you're in at the time. Personal messages are (rightly or wrongly) part of the 'Members' tab, so when you press the 'View new content' button when you're in PMs, it shows you new member activity. Similarly, if you press it in 'Calendar', you'll see new calendar activity. I'm just clarifying how it's designed to work - I'm not saying I like it.

Done a few.. some were bearable, some were horrid. As mentioned above, LOTS of waiting around.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1340789034' post='1709502'] There's a '72 there as well if you need a reference for one with a maple neck [/quote] How I miss it... '73 is getting towards a transitional time, which is why you might find a few with black guards.

Watched a bit of Lee's set with Steve Hackett at the IoW festival on telly last night. Typically mad Hackett. Dunno who's idea it was to book him - the field looked pretty sparsely populated...!

IMO... it's partly due to people being over-sensitive. Mountains, molehills, etc.

[quote name='jonsmith' timestamp='1340455284' post='1704649'] Thought it was only the Vapor Trails songs that were remixed for Retrospective III? [/quote] Fay Cry? One Little Victory, I mean. I had a late night last night...

As a bit of an aside... I know it's been mentioned before, but I've just picked up the remixed (not just remastered) 'Far Cry' from Retrospective 3. Alex and Rich Chycki really took the original mix apart and rebuilt the song so it sounds like a punchy power trio. The transformation is incredible. Well worth 70p or whatever from Amazon... Nice to see what they can do without Nick Raskuliniczceuliniczezecz layering the life out of everything...

[quote name='witterth' timestamp='1340319476' post='1702951'] Flats? hate 'em. naa, buy a house. Sorry, cant be doing with them. I like a long note that I can mute myself,when I've had enough of it, not a shortish note sonic "thud" but then its only what I think ( and I know nowt!) its a prefered style thing really. well you did ask! [/quote] IME flats don't thud unless you want them to, and they have plenty of sustain. what kInd have you tried?

I prefer this one. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XsYuHbXZUk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XsYuHbXZUk[/url]

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1340302749' post='1702663'] That screams Gibson to me. [/quote] Yip - It was probably Seth Lover's pet project. He was responsible for the 'bucker Tele, too.

I haven't seen one of these in a looooong looooong time.... [url="http://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/bass/fender/other/fender-starcaster-bass-natural-1975/"]The Fender Starcaster.[/url] Apparently only two remain in existence.

...and my fiddly pal, currently on tour with Sting: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HjsmIlUTZc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HjsmIlUTZc[/url] There's hope for me yet.

Drummer playing a fish and a sally army bass drum on OGWT: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mGyOKr8frw"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mGyOKr8frw[/url] Same drummer, and a load of other people I play with regulary, backing Mark Knopfler: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-3ZL2sh4CY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-3ZL2sh4CY[/url] (Obviously only one bass player needed, and the oldest got the shout. )

Flats are awesome. Of course if you've moved from rounds, you're going to get a shock as there's no zing. IMO though, once you get over it and focus in to where they sit in the mix, they're difficult to give up. Contrary to popular belief, flats aren't dull, boomy and lifeless. Unless you EQ them like that.

Yeah! So - let's get this right: You left the band, and he replaced you with Will Lee? That's quite a compliment.
