A video of me playing an original blues tune is on the FBPO players spotlight series.

Cheers Geoff

By the way. After posting I realised I leave no space in my solo at all. Not a good thing, but it's only a quick video, not a serious recording. :-)

Nice one Geoff.

When I watch others play I soon realise that my technique is a bit unorthodox

[geoffbassist]

Thanks Tom.
I like the sound of unorthodox technique. It would be boring if we were all the same :-)
Cheers Geoff

Nice playing!

[bassace]

Very nice, Geoff. What bass are you playing?

[geoffbassist]

Hi Roger.
It's my German bass Martyn Bailey restored. It's good but I'm looking forward to getting a new bass in the new year.
It's got a new set of Helicore hybrids on.

How's your Bryant settling in?

[bassace]

Bryant is good, thanks Geoff, although sadly nothing getting played now until the New Year. The Bryant is nice and bright and dead easy to play but amping it has been a challenge. I've found it responds well to my Super Flightcase so have gone and got the smaller version for the smaller gigs as well.

I noticed from the 'other' forum that the new Headway pickup is starting to get good reviews, although I can't find it listed over here yet. Interesting that it's reckoned to be similar to the Realist but without the thump. That's got to be a good thing surely.

I bet you can't wait for April when your Nick Lloyd comes over.

Hey Roger, I was just reading about the new Headway band. It looks a bit odd, but that's fine if it sounds good. I would love to try one but I'm saving up for April ;-)
