I joined a band before I could play.Punk and all that...

Dead Boys. Sonic Reducer. Yeah!

Dexter series 6..

Definately not.My first bass was purchased in 1979.It was ( still is) a Kay gibson EB copy.sh*te is too good a word.

In fairness,it's described as a '79 body and neck.Still a bit of a state,though..

The headstock confused me a bit,now I've done a bit of research,I'm even more confused....

Ask if you can have it for $800 less,then fly over and pick it up...

[quote name='Bobo_Grimmer' timestamp='1334225215' post='1612711'] why do bass guitars make me go all giggly like a wee school girl. All excited and stuff i is. [/quote] I felt like that when I first saw a lefty Thunderbird..

Can't say I'm a fan of Rickenbackers,but that does look nice.

I still don't know what chops is.

Chops. I have no idea what chops means. And they're definately kick drums.Thus spake the Engineer.

[quote name='Jayben' timestamp='1333912432' post='1608197'] I do it on big rock endings and when I'm playing chords on all 4 strings.. Just adds to the 'metal' factor I suppose. [/quote] Likwise.But without the metal.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1333802111' post='1606680'] Wasn't it a Hiwatt one though? Kind of a different league. [/quote] Yup.50w. Steve Severin used to use an Acoustic 220 guitar headand I used to use an HH VS Musician guitar head.

Not half as sorry as I am,it's the wife's laptop.And the last ginger nut.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1333809941' post='1606813'] Good job you didn't decide to toss yourself off instead. [/quote] I now have to make more coffee and clean the screen.Which has lumps of ginger nut on it.

My research informs me it was the Milton Hunter Orchestra,whoever they were.

No.

That JJ Burnel chap used to use a guitar head.

No Tales of Interest really,but having a drummer in the band who ran a chain of cake shops did give us some interesting things to throw out of the windows at people.

Artistic integrity doesn't pay the rent.Or put petrol in the Aston Martin.

My 78 Precision was bought when 2 years old and had seen home use only.It's Welsh.I know my Peavey stack has travelled the world on cruise ships.The one I do wonder about is my 1962 L/H Burns Sonic,it's as old as me,but in far better condition..

Something like this needs to be sorted out right at the start.The only genuine millionaire rock star I know - Ian Dench of EMF - did advise me on this.He had a 90% cut of the publishing and copyright,largely because he contributed 90% of the work.He is now a very wealthy man.The rest of EMF aren't.My understanding is that copyright exists automatically upon recording,(sound or written down) so if none of your old ( or current) bands material was recorded then no copyright exists,so anyone can do with it what they wish.There's plenty of examples of ex band members claiming their share of royalties,and failing,the afore mentioned Smiths rythm section,Spandau Ballet spring to mind,and of course Nirvana.If you're writing original material,get the legal aspect sorted asap..
