He's so talented

Great band. Spirit of Eden is one of my fav albums

Thought it might be. It's a small bass world. Iain the dep/ permanent guitarist, is one of my oldest pals. Until 6 months ago we were in QuoMotion together. We'd did it for almost 8 years. It was great fun. The Status sound is very tempting. It's never good when gas hits post gig.

What's the bands name?

I love this style of bass playing. I don't know who it is but great playing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gsfnj27Y4Y

I bought a Novation keyboard from Wilco. Easy transaction. Quality experience. Get on it with confidence

I bought an NS Wav from Kriss. Really easy to deal with. Great communication and response time. Don't let the distance put you off!!

It's a life changing tune. As you quite rightly say. You have gotta have some balls to play like that and create such texture

Listening to this last night. It's a great tune but for me the bass line and tone is just killer. A great example of a hypnotic bass line that holds the groove. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DEBKksupBVA

Happy days. Good news for Brum. I was in Guitar guitars new shop. Really looked fab. Some great Mark Bass gear. As always decent staff.

Brilliant. Nick Kershaw has continued to write some brilliant albums. Two underrated song writers

Is this why they invented A/B Pedals? Just swap between both!

Did e talk about his rigs. When I saw them I was so far back, I could just make out two glowing heads side by side. I did not recognise them. They didn't look like his usual EBS rigs?

My choice for this band and music. We have no drums, so my role is more percussive. I think the fretless adds another texture

Just in from Brum gig. They nailed it !! Really great gig

Correct. They always have their parade the Sunday before.

I don't always get an opportunity to do this, I played three different venues in one day with my lovely Zon fretless. I was playing at the St Patrick's day festival in Birmingham. 85,000 people,all really digging the traditional tunes. First on a float, then the main stage. Finally the wonderful lamp tavern ( real ale guys pay respect). Usually aside from home practise I've never spent the best part of 4 and a half ours playing bass in one day. It was great. It really sounded consistent and full of lovely tone, through all the differing PA's. I think it might be my best friend/ bass

I remember it well. My older brother used to play it constantly I was 8. ELO shine a little love. Kelly Groucutt on bass. Mint!

Whilst I have resisted the urge for years. I know in my heart I have to have a mid 70's Fender Jazz, with Rose wood fret board. The longer I leave it the more expensive they become.

[quote name='scalpy' timestamp='1487365842' post='3239404'] To bassists, that story would be worthy of a special edition of Oprah. [/quote] I was just thinking of getting in touch with Simon Bates for "our tune"

Things are getting silly around these parts. I'll keep a look out. Aside from he obvious sites keep an eye on Shpock. It's covers local areas.

I've been watching this thread and have decided it's time to contribute. in 1989 I owned a Warwick thumb, kubicki factor and a Wal Fretless. These were at the time my three ultimate basses. I was 18 and playing through a lovely Trace Elliott rig. I was playing loads and loving life. Long story short. I'd bought my first house with blood sweat and tears recession hit in the early 90's. Anyway mortgage payments to be made work drying up. The Wal went first. I took it into Musical Exchanges in Birmingham. For those who knew the place it was Gaz. He looked at me and said " are you sure" I had no choice. I covered my mortgage payment for that month. The factor and Warwick followed. I wouldn't change a thing but I'd love to own them all again. It is what it is !
