  1. It's a 2x12. A very, very loud 2x12. Do you have anything to actually contribute to the thread, or did you just come here to make sarky comments about my rig?
  2. Seconded. Here's to a speedy recovery.
  3. Is it silly that I'm getting really excited the closer the BFSWBB gets? Seeing some familiar faces, meeting some new ones, the fantastic looking kit list (and this year I feel like I've finally got something worth showing too!). I feel like a kid in the run-up to Xmas.
  4. I'd also like Fender to release the 80s Performer bass again, albeit slightly updated with wider string spacing (and perhaps a different headstock). This and the aforementioned Beck bass are the only two Fenders that I would seriously consider buying.
  5. I wanted one of those. So I bought a Shuttle 9.2 and a Barefaced Super 12T. Now I have a super powerful bass amp that barely requires any effort at all to move from home-car-venue and back again.
  6. It's as good a year as any. It was halfway through my personal favourite decade. I was 20 that year.
  7. ...assuming you're a} alive and b} old enough, what tape are you putting in your Walkman or car stereo? For me, it's a C90 with Level 42's eponymous 1st album on one side and their 'Pursuit of Accidents' on the other.
  8. I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down - Elvis Costello
  9. D.I.V.O.R.C.E. - Tammy Wynette / Billy Connolly
  10. And now you're going to keep me in suspense. Oh you beast you.
  11. Aww, grand. I don't like pointy basses as a rule, but there's something about the Explorer shape that I really like. I wish I'd bought an Aria ZZB back when they were dirt cheap.
  12. I use Elixir nickels on everything. I like a reasonably bright tone with a bit of snap, and with Elixirs lasting as long as they do, this means I only have to replace them every 18 months or so. So with two working basses, one of which is a five, this means my string expenditure is effectively about £5 a month.
  13. Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent Boy - Gwen Guthrie
  14. Can't Get Used To Losing UHU - Andy Williams / The Beat
  15. I tell you what, it's a great song to play when you've got a fabulous female voice in front of you and a big horn section behind you. Who cares if it's little more than a whole lot of low Fs, it's one of my favourites in our set. Real crowd-pleaser too.
