[quote name='stonecoldbass' timestamp='1323033260' post='1458562'] Nice one mate! Is Pete a Scot?? [/quote] Yes, he's from Elgin originally but lived here since the 80s. We're from the Thames Valley area but the drummer was born in Scotland too & I have a lot of family roots up there too. I don't think we have any Welsh roots in the band Rhys unfortunately

Don't know the show or watch TV and McFly probably aren't aiming their music at me but I would say the guys in McFly are all much better musicians than people give them credit for. Don't care if that's not cool, they are all reasonable musicians

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1323020760' post='1458374'] well I started listening to that and thought "you're right what is this music" but by the end I was annoyed that they were chatting over the top of it.... it sounds good- have you got a link to your myspace/bandcamp/whatever? [/quote] The new album plays here [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Every-Dirty-Mirror-Case-Hardin/dp/B005J4NY3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1323021561&sr=1-1"]http://www.amazon.co...23021561&sr=1-1[/url] but we're on all the sites you'd expect - Itunes, bandcamp, myspace (rip) etc - Not a hint to buy, by the way! [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1323020907' post='1458379'] Great stuff - but isn't it typical how most of the band shots managed to exclude the bass player! [/quote] I'm not normally to be fair but was a bit unlucky on the cutaways they used there

Exposure doesn't get much better than 5 mins on national TV in the US. Really a feature on the singer but we all appear [url="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390313n"]http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390313n[/url] Even if you don't like our music we have some interesting characters in the band

Wow, always wanted one like that. Very cool

I used to own a USA 60th anniversary P-bass. Nice bass, I sold it on through this site as part of my major kit cull. The reality is there are so many reasons for why every (Fender) bass could be limited edition that it hardly impacts on price. Fender have so many little tweaks here & there it makes little difference. Sounds like you have a nice bass so I'd enjoy it for what it is but don't expect the resale value to rocket

I used to use 40-100 but over the last few years I've opted either 55-115 or 50-110. Nothing a bit of practice won't allow you to adjust towards and a definite improvement. I'd imagine much harder for the really showy playing but great for general usage

They're a truly great band, all good players. I'm seeing them at Moles in Bath just before Christmas and have high expectations. Probably my favourite new band in years

I managed 3 bands at once for a while on top of a busy stressful job. It probably led to the break up of my marriage but it can be done. I kept them very separate - people don't want your other project forced on them. Be open but then keep it low key. I was up front at the start & people genuinely forgot - I had people at the end say "I didn't know you had another band" when I'd mentioned it when I met them originally. More recently I've thought about a 2nd project again but to be honest my life is too full with other stuff away from music. I will do jams & stand ins etc though

I am on here a LOT less than I used to be but put it down to a change in me rather than a change in the site. I enjoy myself when I'm on here but it tends to be 10 mins every couple of days rather than spending half my evening every night on here. Off topic aside I guess there is only so much time you can spend re visiting "Fender vs Warwick", "Are Rotosound rubbish?" and the usual threads. Great fun first time around but once your opinion has been shared I guess people start to know where you stand. After all I guess only so much can be said about the bands we like and the gear we play. You wouldn't have the same debate with your friends over and over again. Let the new posters have fun with the topics I've debated So personally I'm off doing a bunch of other stuff but having a genuinely renewed interest when I do come on here.

I too would box around the number but to be fair if you are spraying the neck it'll impact on resale value anyway. That said it's a modern MIM Fender, not a 1951 original so you gotta do what you want to enjoy it.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1321973785' post='1444974'] I use a car not the tube. [/quote] Me too. I only use the tube if I'm not taking an amp. I'm from the other side of Reading but I'd say London is the town we play the most

I think the answers so far about cover it. I prefer the bass to act in support but that doesn't suit every genre or every band

As Nigel Tufnel once said, "I'm a professional, I'll rise above it"

I haven't wanted new kit for AGES. It started slowing about 2yrs ago & it probably needed too. It ground to a halt at the start of this year and I've had no interest in new kit all year. I can't see it changing either.

The body is looking great. I stripped my main Precision & it really helped me bond with the instrument

I had really heavy gauge La Bella flats on mine, had to re cut the nut for the E. It sounded awesome & they stayed until I sold the bass

I play with the ashtray covers still on

Overpriced but I like it. I have a friend who collects Eko's

I had a Jazz back around '94 with a boomy E and G string; it's more common on Jazzes from what I can tell but extremely rare. I've owned a dozen or so P basses and never heard of it on a Precision. New strings, followed by a decent set up followed by changing the pickup seem to be the way forward when it comes to investigating

Friday at Zanzibar in Liverpool was surprisingly quiet but we played well. Saturday at the Americana UK festival (we headlined the 2nd stage) was probably my favourite gig of the year - played well, great crowd etc. Sunday was a quiet wind down gig in Stratford which was enjoyable enough and we played pretty much everything, unveiling new songs too. A great weekend

I had an email this weekend but no notification email which was unusual. I'd not logged in since Friday so had no idea until I logged in today and saw the red triangle. Just thought I'd raise it

I saw him last week in Basingstoke. Georgie Fame, Albert Lee - some serious players. I like Wyman but he is probably the least talented in that band. The drummer and piano player were amazing and the horn section were really fun to watch. It was a little show band for my tastes in places but Wyman was doing what he wants to do. I don't know about other nights but he walked on and said "this isn't a career move for me" which I liked. I'm pleased I saw him.

Sorry been away on tour - you have a PM if it's not too late. Otherwise, no worries

What are you after, just postage or a small donation to the site? I'll take the heavy gauge Rotosounds if nobody wants those two sets. Cheers
