Your 88 Gunslinger is something else Lorne. Love the ST, great design - mine is a solid player. No twin, sadly.

Bought Graham's 1995 non-reverse Thunderbird V - top guy, plenty of good banter throughout; you couldn't ask for more. Exemplar of why Basschat is such a great place.

f*** yeah, I should have known it was Fibbers! No surprise to find others nodding along to that one. When are you on? I'll wander down.

I'd love to know which venue this is. We do have some in York where the sound is mud most nights of the week.

Would love twins... sigh, maybe something for the future! I did see a stunning pair of Corts, 4- and 5-string versions, in a beautiful off-white - someone got themselves a deal buying those!

I think I need to play catch-up - I've never owned 10 basses! My top 5 would be equally erroneous, I suspect. I will say that my Lakland DJ4 has been simply stunning, from having played a few jazzes, and I'm hoping I'll look back on it as one of better bass purchases

The Classic Vibe Squier is awesome, from playing it. Does it have to be a Fender or such? I'd go for a Lakland DJ again, given the choice - absolutely f***ing awesome.

The moment in the Creed vid where he gurns out "just one moment" took me back to Vic and Bob! Loved Kings, these are coming to work with me!

Loads of bits and pieces, some tabbed and some informational, on 12 bar blues - always worth having a poke; having a try; and then making your own value judgements on what works. It's part of the learning process.

To be honest, if I'd known how awful the football was going to be today, that would have been a better use of my own time!

Google?

You're in the right place with Guitar Pro, but the best leap in nailing a cover is to - once you're comfortable - moving from the backing to playing alongside the original. I would definitely get a metronome, they're readily available and are an invaluable tool. If you have an iPhone there are plenty of apps to do the same. One of those will really help with timings.

This is the sh*t, love it!

What a fantastic intervention! Good on Rob for making the effort.

£400 and must be new? We're well into Squire Classic Vibe territory, and I don't think you could go far wrong there.

I think we're always returning to this debate - about quite why such expensive investments would be sold, or arrive, in so poor a state. Disappointed to hear this has happened to you. Hope you manage to raise the feedback appropriately with Andertons; it's their business, so you'd hope they'd listen and learn.

Anyone want to trade me something for my Ironbird? Trades don't appear to be working for me, in the world of bass as in any other - I think I need some of this magic to rub off on me! I did manage to invest five hours of my time this week in support a colleague, to receive not one, but [i]two[i/] responses - I got [b]f***[/b] and [b]all[/b]

I thought Guy Pratt had done enough to convince the world we're all mad, anyway? My only real grumble about the Beeb is that Marching on Together isn't getting the airtime a top 10 single deserves
