[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1291401' date='Jul 3 2011, 08:20 PM']What about the bass playing? I think the criticism about the backing track is a bit harsh. The guy is obviously very good.[/quote] Maybe, but I'd like to hear him posting something worth listening to.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1288671' date='Jul 1 2011, 09:55 AM']Correcting factual inaccuracies would still be better done by PM....[/quote] I agree, but if the seller chooses to ignore it, then they're fair game IMO.

I can understand the price thing, but I still disagree with this bit 100%. [quote]4. If you have a concern with the authenticity/originality/provenance/description etc of an item for sale, do not comment on the seller's thread as these comments will be removed by a moderator. If you believe an item to be fraudulent then please PM a moderator and we will do our best to arbitrate - otherwise simply move along.[/quote] This makes no sense, IMO.

Worry not, people! The gig I did with them was a wedding. Same set, pretty much. It was all fine.

[quote name='BottomE' post='1287632' date='Jun 30 2011, 01:11 PM']I am guessing that whoever booked the band have seen them before? (but £50 ??? for 7 hours)[/quote] It sounds crazy, but these guys are just happy to play. You know the sort... dead enthusiastic and that.

Ha.. I've been there with the same band. Canny lads, they are...! I hate that Emotional Fish song. I'd never heard of it either. Rescue Blues is nice...

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='1286676' date='Jun 29 2011, 05:14 PM']I was the one that suggested it.................................. as a solution if he wants to keep the sticker. Personally I've never bought a new Fender and never will, I let other people take the hit on the depreciation. The sticker would never be an issue for me [/quote] Sorry.. I didn't hear a word. I'm too busy gazing at your avatar.

I'm amazed people are suggesting you swap the pickguard to preserve the sticker. Really, I am... astonishing.

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='1286026' date='Jun 29 2011, 07:38 AM']rip it off, throw it away and start playing!![/quote] ..is the right answer!

I play fretless sometimes... I'm more fretless P than Jaco honk, though.

Lookin' good! If I may be pedantic: [url="http://overwaterbasses.com/basses/j-series/"]http://overwaterbasses.com/basses/j-series/[/url] [i]Overwaters' take on 'traditional' electric bass design[/i] Should read: [i]Overwater's take on 'traditional' electric bass design[/i]

Here's another of the drummer and I working through some changes during the soundcheck... lovin' the Streamliner!

[quote name='Oggy' post='1283164' date='Jun 26 2011, 05:52 PM']My Missus just came in as I was sending my last reply - I said "you've just got to hear this, brilliant, something haunting and retro about it". She listened too the track and said "yes, I really like it; and I bet the singer is good looking " - please just tell me that he isn't . Oggy [/quote] Thanks, man! Is Phil Good looking? I dunno... not for me to say. He's definitely in good nick for an old bloke. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=143175"]Here's some more clips with the H2.[/url]

I recorded this weekends gigs at The Live Theatre in Newcastle with my Zoom H2. It's a great bit of kit. Here's a bass-player's-eye view of the encore. I pulled out the P after a few months on my J... I love the P so much. And here's some audio-only of a couple of songs...

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1282532' date='Jun 25 2011, 10:27 PM']I can't imagine why anyone would need a carry bag for one of these.[/quote] Wot 'e sed.

Here's a song recorded on my Zoom H2 from last night's gig. It was loud, and the lows were very subby, but I think it's done a decent job...

[quote name='tonyclaret' post='1281862' date='Jun 25 2011, 09:19 AM']Hi, I've been contemplating getting one of these to control unwanted boom on hollow stages. Having read a couple of posts on here I am getting concerned that because I am only using one small cab a bergantino AE112 I wil lose a lot of umph and wanted bass coupling. Any thoughts I was convinced up until reading this as there are hundreds of good reviews. Any thoughts?[/quote] If there's an occasion where you're losing umph and need bass coupling, take it out from under your cab. Fixed in five seconds. I use mine all the time, even if I'm using a single 2x10, and all I notice is tighter, more defined bass. Not less of it...

Just get the first one.

That's it.. I'm going to bed. Someone wake me up when we get a modern soul voice worthy of shining this guy's shoes...

If I could be arsed, I'd throw a rock at the telly right now. This bloke is rotten. Who the flip is he?

[quote name='JTUK' post='1281729' date='Jun 25 2011, 12:35 AM']Actually...saw a version he did of Reet Petite on Later and it was pretty damn good. I think his material is pretty average ..from a song writing POV, but as an artist he is far from alone in that respect. but his voice is way better than his catalogue. IMO, of course. I am trying to think who would be one of the modern great soul voices to compare him with though... male, that is. Luther V..?? modern..?? ???[/quote] I just think his voice is really limited... good band, though. Modern soul? Flip knows who else is in the running... I'm so out of the loop. I do know that if he's one of the best, we're in trouble...
