    [quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='658077' date='Nov 18 2009, 01:43 PM']Anyone else seen them? Nick[/quote] Yes, but a long time ago: May 1975 at QPR football ground (with Patrick Moraz on keys: Relayer was the latest album at the time). Fabulous gig. I have a suspicion I saw them again later in the 70's, but I can't recall any details, I'm afraid (possibly at the Empire Pool Wembley (now Wembly Arena)??).

    [quote name='maxrossell' post='656578' date='Nov 16 2009, 11:55 PM']I suppose I'll be bucking some trends here, but honestly in my opinion anything other than a Fender Jazz or P-Bass is a waste of time.[/quote] Given the quality of many cheaper basses (see the Budget Basses that do a Pro Job thread, or OutToPlayJazz's recent review of Squier CV vs Fender MIA), there's a strong case for saying that a (real) Fender Jazz or P-Bass is a waste of money!

    [quote name='ianrunci' post='655855' date='Nov 16 2009, 11:49 AM']I wouldn't say my post is bigoted[/quote] Anyone who uses "gay" as a term of abuse is going to have a hard time convincing me that they're not a bigot.

    [quote name='obbm' post='651859' date='Nov 11 2009, 06:42 PM']ITV are showing An Audience with Donny and Marie (Osmond) tonight at 8:00pm. Recorded recently in London it features no other than my good friend, and tutor to many, Paul Geary on bass duties.[/quote] Seems a bit unfair to point this out. We've all done things we're not proud of for the money.

    I like the comments on YouTube: Q: what is that thing on that bass at 0:07 ? A: I would imagine its something to mute the sound of the bass so its not so in-your-face. If thats what it is thats probly why the bass sounds so mellow in this song. [actually it looks like a bean-bag frog or similar, lying over the bass neck, where the strings aren't!]

    Of course, if you weren't going so fast, you'd have had time to brake and come to a safe, controlled halt [b]before[/b] hitting the musical wall.

    [quote name='Musky' post='645121' date='Nov 4 2009, 12:06 PM']I had a play of one of these the other day. It was very nice indeed and played a damn sight better than the Classic Vibe Jazz I also tried. I asked if they'd set the Peavey up and was told that was they way it came out of the box. I think whoever gets this will be very happy, [/quote] Cheers Musky, that person is paganskins, and I sincerely hope he will be!

    [quote name='paganskins' post='645097' date='Nov 4 2009, 11:41 AM']I'm interested if the P&P is reasonable. Also your feedback link isn't working.[/quote] Hi paganskins, Sorry about the link, should be working now. I think around £15 should cover p&p. Cool username by the way. E

    [size=5][b]SOLD[/b][/size] Peavey Zodiac BXP sunburst with maple fingerboard in mint condition. This has a body inspired by early 50's Precisions, with a P/J pickup configuration, and a 21 fret Jazz bass profile neck. Build quality is superb. I bought it as a backup while I worked on my other 2 basses, and it would have become my fave bass were it not for the weight: at around 9 1/3 lbs (to "bathroom scale" levels of accuracy), it's a little heavier than I'm really comfortable with (but then again I'm a ten stone weakling - this may not be an issue for many). Yours for £120 + postage to UK or it may be possible to arrange personal delivery / handover depending on where you are. I am in SE London - you are welcome to come and try it out.

    Bump.

    Quite liked the Marcus vid, especially the v.funky organ solo. Enjoyed the EB vid too, but that Nick Cave thing was just ghastly, tedious and very averagely performed MOR pap. Of course, your mileage may vary

    Bump for price drop and expanded sales patter.

    [size=3][b]NOW SOLD[/b][/size] For sale my Roland A30 76 note MIDI controller keyboard. [b]£70.[/b] Comes with the PSU (though it can also run on batteries), a detachable music stand, the owners manual, a padded soft gig-bag, and the original inner thin plastic bag thingie it was wrapped in inside its box when new. This has seen very little use, and has spent most of its life well wrapped up, so it's pretty much as new. I must stress that this is just a controller - there are no sounds inside, you have to use it with a MIDI sound source (or you can use it to play sounds inside your computer if you have a midi interface). It has "semi-weighted" (ie sprung) keys, which means it's light for a 76 note board - 8.1 Kg according to the manual, yet has a responsive touch. Perfect for the gigging keyboardist who needs to control an array of MIDI modules, and who needs the full range of a 76 note board, or for the studio owner needing a flexible central midi controller keyboard that's quick and easy to move around. Collection from SE London, or I may negotiate delivery if you're in the London area, or somewhere on the A12 between London and Ipswich (a journey I do fairly often).

    In the early nineties I composed the music for a series of one-minute films commissioned by MTV - for a few months they showed them all the time, randomly between the other programs. I never had MTV myself, but I had a mate with cable TV, and I remember the thrill of seeing them appear unexpectedly. Magic. Also the only time I've ever made any serious money out of my music.

    Cheerio

    Earbrass replied to Thump Boy's topic in Introductions

    Hello and welcome. Since I seem to be the only irritating pedant on duty at the moment (though I'm sure others will be along shortly), it apparently falls to me to inform you that "Cheerio" is generally used to mean "Goodbye" rather than "Hello". Nice that you made an effort to speak our lingo, though! Don't worry, they're not all like me here.

    [quote name='davidmpires' post='601155' date='Sep 17 2009, 11:16 AM']I would be pleased for a band that i like to stop playing at the secondary stages of a festival to become a headliner.[/quote] Hmmm, not sure about this. The bigger the stage they play, the further away you're likely to be. To take an extreme example, last year I went to 2 gigs; one was a three piece folk band in a small basement, with the musicians just five or six feet away from us, the other was the Rolling Stones at the O2. Both bands put on a great show, but the basement gig was far more involving.
