Marvin

Arse. I can't get that channel. Love Fraser's playing.

Mrs Marvin was give 25 for Christmas. I've listened to it a few times and there are some great songs on there and she's got a cracking warbling box. There are though about 4 or so songs that tend to drag and don't really do much, which is a shame. It's a good album, just not a great album.

Like Bigwan, I'd recommend the Sire V7. I made a point of visiting a couple of guitar shops before I bought mine to check out the MIM Fender Jazz's. There's nothing at all wrong with them, lovely basses. However, after getting my V7 I just couldn't see where the extra +£300 was in the Fender. You can get a brand new V7 for less than a 2nd hand MIM. I absolutely love my V7 and as Bigwan am waiting eagerly for the P bass they are saying they'll bring out. If not the Sire then I'd go for the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maruszczyk.[/font][/color] Both makers have very good reputations for quality at sensible prices.

2015 was a dreadful year musically, 3 failed attempts to get something off the ground. Hopefully I'll be able to find or put something together this year, I've got the nicest gear I've ever had and want to get out gigging...and maybe earning some pennies to pay for maybe a little GAS

I've had both the B2.1u and now have the B1.on. For the money Zoom multi fx pedals are very good. I found the B2 a little tricky to using given it's only got the 2 digit display on it, the B1 interface is much better. I also own a BOSS GT6B and the amp sims on the Zoom are, in my opinion, much better (but then it is a much newer pedal). The B1 is great for home practice. Bass in, aux in (iPod, tablet or laptop in) and headphones out. Compact and easy to use. I tend to put the B1 in front of the Boss, use the B1 for some amp sim and the Boss for other effects, works a treat in a band situation

That's very tastefully done. It looks genuine and aged. Spot on.

Yep, that is lovely. I do like the Fender sound.

I'm always safe as I'm now perpetually skint

Got an extra wide padded leather strap Two music theory books and a Birds of Tokyo CD. Oh, and a Winery Dogs t-shirt.

Some useful transcripts there, ta. I like the site design as well, clean and uncluttered, very straightforward.

Do you learn the material in your own time or are you going to waste my time and money and turn up to rehearsal and expect to wing it there? Has your singer got their own PA? Are the gigs paid and what's the split? When and where do you rehearse? Is it a dictatorship or democracy? Sorry, that's 5

I never learnt to play guitar and bass was what was left when my mates were forming a band.

Sid was the poster boy of punk and not a lot else. Whether that is sad, unfortunate or other is for individuals to make their own mind up. He never struck me as someone who would make their mark musically say like Foxton or Simonon. From all the clips of interviews etc he never strikes me as someone you'd want to be in the company of for long. The other thing that always is apparent when the Sex Pistols are discussed is what a manipulative and horid individual McLaren was.

[quote name='gs_triumph' timestamp='1450127926' post='2929927'] Probably an exclusivity deal [/quote] After a bit of searching, there's a store in Italy that sells Sires as well. From what I remember it's all about the pricing policy Sire have...if you don't agree to it, no bass.

Yes, the 75. They look lovely, limited edition though. They're also doing the standard V7 in red as well I believe. There are also murmurings about a P bass. Shame only Thomann seem to have the foresight to stock Sire in Europe.

Black and tort, I've gone quite giddy

And so much space you could drive a fleet of buses through the whole song...totally awesome

I've got one

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1449606986' post='2925195'] That is not a cool look. [/quote] Damn it

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1449606060' post='2925178'] Did someone mention headbands? [/quote] I dare anyone to say that is not a cool look.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1449604607' post='2925151'] Fret...don't fret...just stay away from the headbands. Ethnic beanie, tea cosy or jazz beret if you must.....even a pork-pie hat, but for the love of God....no headbands. [/quote] Are we just talking the elasticated toweling things here?
