Fade In, Fade Out, Fade Away - Colorsound (Mike Peters & Billy Duffy)

If it was too loud for the members of the band, imagine how the punters felt.

Most definitely Electro Music on Doncaster, great shop, great staff. I recall the veritable joy of discovering a whole floor of basses & bass gear, loads of variety, not just the obligatory FSO's. Bought my first 4003 from there (as well as many guitars, amps and other music related stuff).

Fight Like a Brave - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Big fan of D'Addario Pro Steels on my 4003. Tried a few different types, but the Pro Steels just sing IMO.

Running Free - Iron Maiden

Sorted for E's & Whizz - Pulp

Son of a Mustang Ford - Swervedriver @AMV001

Seen pics on Facebook of some of the Brookes 12 strings, and they look amazing. Overwater recently posted a pic of a custom 8 string they were building, and that one looked really cool too. Doesn't help my itch for an 8 string one little bit!

Time marches on. Our two turned 18 this year, and have both passed their driving tests, so we see even less of them! One is off to Uni in September, the other is back to college on a music course and being in as many bands as he can (drummer). More importantly, they've turned into decent people. You must be immensely proud of all your kids @AndyTravis.

Feel Good Hit of the Summer - QOTSA

I thought the second video showed off the amp a bit better.

For £300, you should be able to pick up something like a Squier bass and a reasonable amp second hand, though with the amp, it's probably better to stick with a "name" brand, as the quality should be decent. Even most shops should have a good selection of "starter" basses & amps.

Only just seen this, sounded like a brilliant idea.

RIP Ozzy. Legend. Certainly went out on a high.

Asking for a friend? @AndyTravis, we've all been there. You'll bounce back after a while away. Good luck.

@police squad, I do like the sound you're getting with both pickups.

Jump in the Fire - Metallica

Another 45-105 stainless rounds user (D'Addario's). Absolutely no issues at all.
