  1. The only famous bassists I've met are Herbie Flowers, Stu Hamm and Mo Foster. All three are lovely guys more than happy to chat. Mo in particular is an absolute gent. Mr Flowers was even kind enough to roll us a 'jazz Woodbine'. Mind you, that was many many years ago.
  2. I reckon 'Rushbo' would have looked cool in the Fender script. Rushbo Prescription Bass. Make it so!
  3. Pretty much my only issue with the Miller preamp is the ridiculous amount of boost/cut available. One barely has to touch the bass control and it's instant rumble. For me, it's unusable past about 1/2 way -- if it's +/-15dB then I'd have been happy with +/-7. It'd be more musical & usable. Obviously YMMV.
  4. [quote name='cybertect' timestamp='1455018187' post='2975002'] On the matter of Whirlwind cables - I have two Whirlwinds that I bought around 1990 which I'm still gigging with over a quarter of a century later, so I'm pretty happy with them. [/quote] I see your 1990 and raise you my two main cables are a pair of Klotzes (sp??) that I bought in 1986 after everything except my Wal was stolen. Used for almost every gig ever since. Having said that, I've just ordered my first obbm cable (for the wireless). So that lot should do me till I croak
  5. Oh lordy, an April '65 Jazz... not just a YOB bass, but a MOB bass. *whimper* [Img]http://www.cotswoldbassguitars.co.uk/images/190/FenderL65%20001.jpg" class="ipsImage" />
  6. Holst's Planets Suite? It is a thematic concept, after all.
  7. The 'Bangs & Crashes' album of 12"/remixes has a couple of live tracks on it, both with Graham Edwards on bass. The album is worth having just for 'Ball Of Confusion'.
  8. [i]Scenes From A Memory[/i] and [i]The Astonishing[/i] by Dream Theater (especially the former) Jeff Wayne's [i]War Of The Worlds[/i]
  9. Bellowhead -- their bass instrument is a sousaphone.
  10. Ok. This year is REALLY starting to piss me off. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35499149
  11. 1. 1965 Jazz Bass. 2. Wal 5-string. 3. Errm... 4. ...that's it.
  12. Yup, another very happy EBS Neo212 owner here. Best cab I've had since my SWR Triad.
  13. Well they certainly know what they want, and they have ambition and determination. I'm pretty sure that before too long in the near future we will never hear of them ever again.
  14. Because it's a well-known fact that old(er) people never do drugs, as I'm sure Keith will agree.
  15. All the above, especially about them being superb basses. IMHO it's definitely worth paying difference for the P, not that the non-P is a bad bass, far from it.

    [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1452000661' post='2945337'] Vinegar, and don't leave it in the spare room [/quote] I generally leave vinegar in the kitchen, but thanks for the tip.
  18. Old faithful... 1964 Höfner Artist II, my first bass. Bought for 20 quid off my metalwork teacher.
  19. Yamaha RBX765A, defretted
