dave_bass5 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Not a huge PF fan, although ive heard a lot of their stuff and love Pulse. Never really noticed Guy using an Octave pedal before these videos. Just not paid much attention I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mep Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 He's one of the few who can insult his fan base and get away with it. Long may he keep it going. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 He's just a really likeable guy with a great personality and he's not a bad bassist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 More Floyd. I must be in the minority but floyd's not my favourite examples of his playing, although its done very well. Will I get banned if I say I prefer his work with Lemon Jelly? 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Not his best slap work. Wee bit rusty at the start but in his younger days he could slap with the best of them. Just a great all rounder in my book and added to a great personality explains why he was / is in high demand. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was quite pedestrian, but I realise he isnt known for his slap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably like many players who just haven't had the need to play that style over last few years and you get a bit rusty. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate just told me there was a follow up called Third Matinee with Richard Page from Mister Mister. Had a quick listen to that as well and altho its a good album its not quite the same vibe as the Toy Matinee album. I might still buy the follow up.

Dave Never hear of TM either until Guy starred talking about them. Just gone out for a walk and have the album playing on Apple Music. Quite enjoyable. Reminds me of the Cutting crew in places, but I guess that’s a sign of the times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like it, if I had heard the track last plane out on its own, I would have assumed it was spocks beard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 That Spector is getting a lot of exposure and I suspect that it is stoking some ferocious GAS hereabouts. I appear to be immune (so far) as I think it’s great but it hasn’t got me looking for them online - time will tell though 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy 'Toy Matinee' I recommend searching out Kevin Gilbert's solo CDs 'Thud', 'Nuts' & his rock opera 'Shaming Of The True'. 'Bolts' is also worth a listen too... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Gilbert_(musician) Kevin Gilbert was the driving force (with Pat Leonard) behind Toy Matinee, an original member (& writer) behind the 'Tuesday Night Music Club' and, according to almost everyone who worked with him.... a musical genius/prodigy. Sadly he passed away at a young age and his talent is much missed 😢 Third Matinee, though it has it's moments isn't a patch on Toy Matinee as it doesn't have the magic that Kevin brought to the table....

dave_bass5 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Enjoyed Toy Matinee. I can certainly hear Guys’ style on that album. Firs time ive really noticed he has a style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that in the most recent Bass Direct newsletter, the first two bass builders being promoted were: Dingwall (as used by Lee Sklar) and Spector...! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
