Doesn't look like the amp head as that looks to be underneath. It's the controller for his Porter & Davies platform - a device which vibrates a platform you stand on while playing. This gives you the sensation of playing more loudly than you actually are, as you feel the vibrations through your feet /legs (apparently!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proponent of world music, never heard of before or since, producing some unintelligible atonal drivel, which nevertheless is lapped up by the audience less they be accused of racism for not liking it. A former boy/girl band member trying to gain some real muso credibility to kickstart a solo career, but obviously finding live vocals a bit tough. A former legend living on past glories, much loved by the audience who are obviously saddened that the legend is past their best and the voice is not what it was. A re-formed but fatter and balder line up of a band, failing to make anyone interested in their new material. Plus a painful ‘off the cuff’ chat with a ‘friend’ or celebrity in the crowd. glad i didnt watch 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great bass playing from Dave Swift. Great to see the bass player playing a Fretless Lakland 55/94? on the George Ezra single (rather than the fretted Precision mimed I've seen previously). I caught a bit of Madness just before the fireworks - Jools is a million times better!! You're on the wrong thread here buddy....you're only allowed in if you want to slate Jools or the ethnic/yoof/crumbly wannabes that are on it. Go start your own thread..... 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing of interest from a bass playing pov was a couple of fills from chic bassist jerry barnes who is a monster player (as well as having some world class bass faces).

I'm sure all of you are doing far more impressive gigs tonight... let us all know what local pub, sorry I meant... venue, you're playing at and I'm sure thousands of people will turn up. Happy new year you miserable lot We played a packed city centre pub, tickets only sold out to maximum capacity allowed, one of those gigs you'd have been happy playing for free but came home with a pocket full of cash to top the night off. I can watch Gregory porter and Ruby Turner on catch up, but I won't looking at the comments here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drTStingray Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, spectoremg said: Dave Swift - sponsorship - surely not!? Was he playing a Warwick? 😁 Really not sure but it sounded great - very fat sound during Junior - Mama Used to Say. His EUB sounded good as well. As did the Laklands from the guy in the George Ezra band. Jerry Barnes' sound is really too thin for Chic and apart from the occassional Marcus Miller/ Abe Laboriel esque fill was not audible or fat enough sounding - that instrumental break in Le Freak relies on the bass part to support it and it didn't (on my tele) - in fact I could barely hear it other than said fizzy fills. In some ways I was disappointed Dave Swift didn't play on it as his sound was far more appropriate. The guy playing with Rudimental used what looked like a version of a 50s P without pick guard on the Anita Baker song - that was also indistinct and not very audible. However the several Rudimental collaborations were great. The whole show was extremely enjoyable I thought. I'm also fully aware that liking one of Jools' programmes is far too contentious for Basschat........ Here's another - there were some wicked brass arrangements.... Unless I was seeing things, Dave Swift appeared to be using a reasonably well concealed music stand (Buble big band standards).

Interesting as I thought the bass tone one Junior's Mama Used To Say was horrible, thin and didn't fit the track at all. Didn't sound funky at all and was more of a distraction the playing was superb though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a keyboard on the original - I thought he did a good job of it as it did have that fat but focussed sound to it - the opposite of Le Freak.
