gub

I used to have it under my chin but like you am trying to come down gradually , I do find if I go too low it affects my playing though !

Cheers Deano , I see you are not too far away from us either , have you a vw too ? Had a fair few bugs over the years and had a splitty up until about 3 years ago when I sold it still miss that loads !

Well just to update on this ,.. We invited him in to one of our rehearsals so we could all meet and he could here us ,we didnt want to put to much pressure on him so I gave him 3 songs that we would be doing and if he wanted to join in he would be welcome , he turned up with his vintage guitar and marshal amp and must say he was really good , he had not even heard some of the songs we do before but soon joined in with them , although his little marshal wasn't up to it so we plugged him in to a old peavy we have spare at the rehearsal rooms and wam bam , sounding great , we are giving the spot to him if he wants it , should be good experience for him and feel that it will work out well for all of us really

So what causes a dead spot anyway ?

Ahh Didnt realise he has a book out , it was on this morning lozz , wake up tv or whatever it's called ! Friend of mine went to see him the other night at an evening with . Said it was good

What's going on ? First pino then mark king , now jt , is it bass players month or something ? All good though.

Sometimes I drop out in the middle of songs, just to see how long it takes for the other members of the band to figure out why they sound sh*t all of a sudden.

Lol this all day

Those strings suit that bass so much , love it

Great review and lovely bass

I would say most days I manage to get a bit in (ohh misus ) feel like something is missing if I don't have a little go at least !

So are you going to be playing it or is it just going to be in the house ? Bugger if you have to give up playing alltogether !

Bloody love Andy rourkes bass playing , always very inventive , think I read somewhere that johhnny marr came up with a lot of them , maybe wrong though ?

Great story!

I played in a band with a very young-looking 21 year old who wore round glasses. Me and the singer were in our 50s and pretty rough looking...we got a review saying it looked like the Stooges had kidnapped Harry Potter.

Genius reviewer

Lovely old bass at a great price , good luck with the sale

Great to see it again , huge thanks to ozmike

Cheers folks , well he is coming along to rehearsal next week , I have had a good chat with him and his mother on the phone and he seems very mature for his age and she sounds lovely , and said since he found out he was coming to the audition he hasn't stopped smiling ! Fingers crossed

We have recently been looking for a 2nd guitarist for the band and today had a call from a friend of mine and guitar tutor who I had given heads up if knew of anyone , well had a call from him today and says he has a chap in mind ( one of his students ) who is interested and he things would be great but he is only 15 ! We are a pub cover band ranging in ages from 21 to 45 , i have no problem with him being the age he is , hey eric clapton was 15 once ! just wondering if it would cause a problem playing in pubs etc ?

Now I don't mind tuning in to the one show if only for a few minutes. It's good to get a daily fix of Alex Jones (top bit of totty) and Carrie Grant is a very foxy cougar. Mr. Grant's a lucky guy cuddling up to her every night

Sorry read this as Aled Jones ( top bit of totty ) and was about to say he has let himself go a bit these days so not any longer!

As a chap born and bred just outside Dudley , very interesting

What a legend and just a lovely chap really

As above and when adding photos for such a vintage bass it's a good idea to post pics of pots and cavities as well as usual ones

Tell you what I have been playing for years and only get those moments every now and then , but know what you mean , feels so good , just wish it would happen more when playing live !
