Rescue Blues is a lovely song. In fact, everybody should have Ryan's first two solo albums (Heartbreaker and Gold). Songwriting class as good as any other artist out there. Don't quite know what happened then...

[quote name='urb' post='1282395' date='Jun 25 2011, 07:43 PM']Tinie Tempah bass dude is called Rick James - monster player from London, he's got a Streamer 6 string, he was in BGM recently and plays around town a bit in various bands - he's endorsed by Mark Bass - good to see a guy like him doing the big stages, he's a killing jazz funk player.[/quote] Oh yeah big time. I used to see him regularly with Pete Ray Biggin when they played up in Birmingham before they broke big time on to the London session scene. I think the first time I recall Rick getting expose was in Daniel Beddingfields video for "I can't read you". Not that it really shows his skills off, if you can get to see him let him rip, it's certainly an education, especially with Pete.

Satin loveliness! Rumour 5, walnut, maple, purpleheart... nice.

[quote name='Doddy' post='1277337' date='Jun 21 2011, 05:03 PM']1-Show me a player that [i]never[/i] looks at the neck of their instrument.[/quote] 1. Jeff Healey. On two counts. One because he couldn't. Two, cos he's dead.

Props to Cee Lo for holding his sh*t together. I love the way he keeps looking left - he knows what's going in over there just ain't right. And jeez, that guitar sound and that sorry excuse for a Neal Schon impersonation...

Just one to throw in here, I like some SCs, hate others... but I'm yet to find a 4 string SC that works for me. Is anybody with me thinking that SCs look better the more strings they have - e.g. 5, 6, 7...? I'm with urb though, the Seis are a bit weird like that... you may not like them to look at in pictures, but in the flesh and certainly playing them, they certainly work. Its like anything, a bass has it's place. Turn up for a motown gig with your SC, it'll probably be the last time you are asked. Give Mark King a P bass, he'll probably be a little lost and will be looking for something a little more hifi.

Watch, listen and learn. PS, sit through it, it gets "better".

Tis looking good. Doesn't look like it should be that long away now!

Contemplating not going this year cos of the slappage. Depends upon the line up to be honest.

[quote name='chris_b' post='1262499' date='Jun 9 2011, 12:03 PM']I haven't heard a Blade but I thought they had "hot" pickups. Do you run the Modulus at the same volume? Now you've got a better bass I think you need a better rig to let your bass shine through.[/quote] Not got any experience of a blade, but hot pickups usually boosted mids, which is what usually cuts through a mix the most. Try boosting the mids on the amp when using the Modulus. If not, go with the above, you probably need to look at improving your bass rig so you can push the tone you want through at volume, rather than compensate for lack of volume by changing your tone.

[quote name='Machines' post='1259866' date='Jun 7 2011, 04:14 PM']I'd contact the Bass Centre - they'll have some info.[/quote] There you go. They are made by GHS for the Bass Centre.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1254484' date='Jun 2 2011, 07:51 PM']Thats just amazing and at that price it needs to come into the Basschat community surely? I think thats way under priced if it plays as good as it looks. V&R could ask £2500+ IMO for that when has another 76' in original condition last been available in the UK never mind as good as that! Serious GAS going on right now.[/quote] Been talking to Pete about this. I'm not sure that this is a 76... I would wager this bass is B004444, which would make it a refin, and a 77. The (one number short - I'm guessing the * in the add dictates a number) serial number would suggest it's certainly a 77. 1976, all original? Depends if you call that colour burgundy or not and you believe the serial number makes it a 76...

[quote name='Clarky' post='1246693' date='May 27 2011, 09:39 AM']No worries Bob, if it helps BassDirect just sold a few Wals for aroud the £3k mark and Bass Gallery have several FS at £3.5k (mind you, they don't seem to be shifting so I think they are a bit over-priced). If no buyer on BC for it, I would suggest giving Mark at BassDirect a call[/quote] I've been watching those on BassDirect's site. I suspect you are right. I suspect this is a little overpriced also... [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Prima_A_Walnut.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...a_A_Walnut.html[/url]

Beautiful.

Went to school with Charlie. Was good to have a decent drummer around - turned into quite a mean guitarist also. Not really my chosen tipple, but have been following both Razorwire and LBD since their conception!

Those in the know would know that Prince would be my top choice but for now Katy Perry will do... hence my Katy Perry choice. I'm not Larry Graham or female so I don't suppose I'm gonna get the call any time soon...!

Katy Perry.

[quote name='lbquota' post='1239936' date='May 22 2011, 06:58 AM']If you like the Ashdown sound then I would go for the Ampeg preamp although you'll not be able to replicate that sub-harmonic kick so unique in the Ashdown gear.[/quote] That sounds like a selling point to me.

[quote name='crez5150' post='1237697' date='May 20 2011, 08:09 AM']One 'band' that I really admire is the Bogus Brothers, not a band in the traditional sense but they put on shows which are very cheesy but their work roster is quite enviable. You should check them out, they have their sh*t together.[/quote] Oh yeah! Just checked out their promo video. They know how to work the crowd
