I'm constantly stunned and grateful that I manage to pay the bills every month doing this so-called 'job'. I never take the next pay day, phone call or email for granted and feel so lucky to be able to do what I love every day of the week. Bit gushy but you get the idea.

Been on retainers myself in the past.[/quote] A 'friend of a firend' has just landed the guitard chair on the forthcoming Kylie world tour. He's on a retainer of £3K a week for a year. Must be available 24-7 to go anywhere at a moment's notice.

I went to see The John Schofield Trio last week. The great Steve Swallow was on bass and I watched him like a hawk. There were some monster drum solos where the 'one' completely disappeared from the feel of the solo but Swallow was right on every accent and every stab...... He didnt tap his foot either....!!

[quote name='pietruszka' post='1023269' date='Nov 14 2010, 11:32 AM']Personal taste. Try as many as you can. Ive tried MB and TC, didnt like the TC at all, the Mb cabs are excellent, and again definitely not arse. Its going to be what works for your playing, and for me the MB cabs work best. Dan[/quote] +1

He's called Chris Dagger (great name!).

[quote name='ezbass' post='1004147' date='Oct 28 2010, 04:59 PM']The American Express accessory for anyone going to a gig or loud club.

[quote name='Delberthot' post='988705' date='Oct 15 2010, 12:44 AM']I don't think I worded that very well - what I meant was that the VM Jazz is not merely a good beginner bass - its one that you can use to gig with.[/quote] Totally.... I've recorded with mine about a dozen times now. Whacked some flats on it and it sounds great!!! Don't get enough calls for fretless to justify spending lots of cash on a high end bass so the VMJ suits my needs perfectly.

A few folk on here (including me) have good things to say about the Squier VM Jazz fretless. A great bass for 250 sheets.....

[quote name='jonno1981' post='972630' date='Sep 30 2010, 01:13 PM']looked like a Jazz to me, passive and olympic white with matching headstock. Knowing his pedigree and history of playing really high end basses from the likes of Avella Coppola etc I would imagine it was a real old one[/quote] Oh yeah.... it's a beautiful '66 Jazz.
