    Yes, I was gutted when he and Jeff Rich left Judie's band.

    John Edwards on Judie Tzuke's "Road Noise". Great playing & a lovely snappy Alembic tone.

    Moved to 'Effects'.

    Proper bargain, that. If it's not sold by the end of the afternoon, I'll eat my goldfish.

    In fairness, I have two Klotz cables (both of which have inaccessible moulded plugs), of which I've used either one or both at almost every gig I've played since mid-1986. Never a single glitch.

    I've taken to making my own. I've got a nice stockpile of Neutrik and Switchcraft jacks. My wireless lead is an OBBM, it's bombproof.

    And an absolute bargain when you compare it to a Fender Custom Shop P...

    A dreary minger that looks like 'the morning after'... If I was the sensitive type, I'd start to take this thread personally.

    Anyone remember the Overwater C Bass? For those that don't... back in the 80s, Overwater produced a 36" scale version of their gorgeous Original bass tuned C-F-Bb-Eb. IIRC it was originally made as a custom instrument for Andrew Bodnar when he was in the Thompson Twins live band. This was before 5-string basses became ubiquitous, and bassists needed an instrument that would go down low enough to allow them to compete with the synth basslines that were all over music at the time. The C Bass was a good interim solution, but it didn't catch on particularly well and was soon discontinued, although I believe they'll make you one if you ask them nic£ly. I don't know if they were all fretless, but all the ones I've ever seen are.

    That's excellent love it.

    I do have what I consider to be a quite cool music related sticker on the back of my car. But none on my basses or cases.

    Apparently, Kanye West is a 'better' songwriter than Bjorn/Benny AND the Bee Gees. Ooookay then. I see your revolver, and raise you a sniper rifle and a tall building.

    Stair banister-rail actually really glad to see it being put to such excellent use 👍

    Maybe not, but its follow-up "My Heart Fills With Love For The Supreme Leader As His Golf Prowess Humiliates The Great Enemy" was #1 for 738 weeks.

    Every note a glowing tribute to the Amazing Achievements Of The Glorious Leader. Every buzzing fret gets their mothers another 6 months in the gulag. Oh god, there's not enough brain bleach in the world to cope with that thing.

    New ear cushions and headband fitted to my trusty Sennheiser HD280 pros... good for another 20 years now, I reckon! :D

      Hi Rich, I have the same headphones and although the ear cushions and headband on mine are still ok I'm curious to know more regarding their replacement (for future reference). :)

      Hi,

      Here's what mine look like now. I bought both the ear cushions and the headband cover off fleaBay for not very much at all.
      The cushions went on with a minimal amount of swearing -- after destroying the old ones to take them off, the new ones have to be stretched so that the retaining strip slips into a small gap round the outside. Easier done than explained, actually :D  
      The headband cover really is a knitted woollen thing held on with poppers... looks like something your nan might make but it's really very comfortable, especially when you're a bit short of thatch up top like I am :lol:

      Hehe, thanks for that. Yeah, I see what you mean about the granny-knitted headband but have to say it looks good and I can imagine they would be much more comfortable now. Good job! :)

    And I was right... all this year's remaining gigs are now gone except for my lad's wedding. He's half-expecting the venue to cancel that too.

    That Lull is gorgeous. I bet it still neckdives though The Jackson, well, as you can see I've deleted the pic from this quote and that's because I couldn't bear to look at it again...
  23. Rich
    Wow! that fingerboard is worth the admission fee all on its own.
  24. Rich
    If I had the cash to splash, I would personally go straight for a @Chownybass CHB in sapphire burst just to hang on the wall, because they look utterly gorgeous. The finish comes completely alive under lights. The fact that they also sound great is a bonus, I was ready for it to be a bit wumphy and woolly but was amazed by the versatile range of tones available.

    As far as signature basses are concerned... I would definitely consider one (even if I wasn't a fan of the player in question), IF the bass had unique design or features that particularly appealed to me. Three that spring to mind are the original Fender Urge (the 32" with the J-P-J pickups), the Fender Roscoe Beck (IMO the best bass Fender have ever produced), and the Ibanez Gary Willis fretless 5. I would never consider one purely because I liked the signature-player -- e.g. I do like and admire Mark King, but you will never find a Kingbass in my house.
