Lakland. Without a doubt.

not them bloody worms again.

still going. still coming out with some great hip hop/funky records.

Im wanting to sell a bass on BC, that is stated as £7.00. but when i come to the final bill with Pay Pal. I'm hit with a £27 bill. WTF.? i just want to sell a Tune Bass.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1433675682' post='2792954'] Used to love Shakin' Stevens when I was nipper. Ironically, he actually has Parkinson's disease now. [/quote]oh what a shame, i didn't know that... he was my bread and butter musically when i was a nipper also.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1433673429' post='2792919'] As we have to listen to both Christmas records come November 30th, I have to say i prefer Shaky`s effort more than Wham`s. It is also surprising that Shaky was in the top 40, 33 times in his career. [/quote]i will never forget him on the Russel Harty show early 90's pissed and getting aggressive. i also remember dancing at the school disco to green door and this old house. then realised he was a poor mans Elvis. so stopped.

[quote name='mxm' timestamp='1433673620' post='2792924'] Love the bass on the Wham! stuff (Estus/Lang/McKenzie) - even the synth on 'Everything She Wants' is awesome ! [/quote]love the synth on that too. !

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1433672203' post='2792905'] I won`t knock George Micheal`s solo stuff. Again, not my cup of tea, but his talent as a writer and singer can`t be denied. I just saw Wham as a cheesy band that firmly belonged in the 80`s. I understand the appeal to the older people who like Wake Me Up, but i will always turn the radio down if that cames on. His solo stuff was much more refined and mature. [/quote]i would probably do the same Timmo. Im not a fan of that record and i know where your coming from. but although not to my/your taste,i see the talent in that and other records. i really don't like Abba,i see them as a cheesy band. but i can see the talent and recognise why other people might like it. so my next Shakin Stevens post is a no goer for you.?

thankyou for the info.

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1433671494' post='2792895'] You can give all the examples that you want. In my opinion, they were an awful band. Club Tropicana is one of the examples i would give to highlight just how bad they were. You might look upon them with affection, i look upon them as everything that was wrong with music in the 80`s. Just listening to the 2 examples above for 5 seconds sent shudders through my body. On the other hand, the musicians behind the band, as ever with these type of bands, the people behind them are the real talent. [/quote]he is the person behind them. but never mind. and its not affection mate its just appreciation. you don't like the music. nowt wrong with that.

i was going to ask you to list them but don't worry. but you can if you want. I'm stumped on a few.

listening to this album, which is not all great imo, but you hear a record like this and it makes it all better.. just love the bassline he plays on this. his harmonies are also fantastic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84s_rq-6K2k

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1433665760' post='2792835'] Good interview. I was surprised that Wham had decent musicians behind them. The thing that filled me with dread was when he said there was talk of a Wham reunion. They really were an awful band [/quote]they definitely were not an awful band. yep they wrote some pop mediocre, but they also wrote some fantastic pop records. this being one of them .. great bass line and a great record . George Micheal is and has always been a very good piano and guitar player and a writer of some of the best pop music ever.love Don's great slap line and finger style. i think some disregard the skill underneath these records. although not to ones taste, the records like carless whisper, everything she wants, are remembered for a reason.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PBmiSUyTFk[/media] written by George Micheal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9abYzI9ycjk

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1433660269' post='2792792'] Unless you see Motown as the pop machine of it's day , which some do , which commercially speaking I guess it was. [/quote]for sure. i guess he influenced pop down the line.

when i think of Iconic Bass Player's in Pop. James Jamerson does not spring to mind.

like the title says.?

oh er. i feel some Metal snobbery coming on this thread.

the hugely innovative Herbaliser. . love em. what a track this is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDDsfnmRB40

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1433030838' post='2787273'] why do i get the feeling you should not be looking at custom instruments..? your going to be hard pushed to get a great custom 6 string even at your maximum budget. and Sadowsky don't make 6 strings. if you want to spend that sort of money, stick with a brand that make good choices for you. a Yamaha TRB6 will fit your bill and is probably well within your budget second hand. there are a few about. it is still possibly one of the best 6 strings in the world for the price imo. well at any price. its just a superb instrument.
