All four of the above will be getting blasted out on my Ric tonight. Albeit with way less finesse and talent than the man himself.

Robert bought a tuner off me - he was a pleasure to deal with.

Literally just saw this. Gutted. Probably the most quietly influential British bass player of the last 40 years. There is no bass player in the UK of a certain age who didn't implicitly know the bass parts to Fool's Gold, She Bangs The Drums or Waterfall, or that bass break from I Am The Resurrection.

I was looking at his tour as he was booked into a theatre near me. I was showing a work colleague about it only this morning. He will be missed, but we'll remembered.

Is there a bass intro that moves people like this does ( no others I can think of) ...

Too many windings, 3 is enough.

Reap Petite - Jackie Wilson

Harvest for the world - Isley Brothers

I've Got a Brand New Combine Harvester - The Wurzels

MY 2023 CHERRY-RED JAYDEE SERIES ONE CLASSIC SUPERNATURAL This is my latest Jaydee, it's the 2023 Series 1 Classic in cherry red that I purchased from Bass Direct about two months ago. This makes the fourth Jaydee that I own. I'm glad that I didn't have to wait for it to be built and was readily available. (Thanks, Marcus Bell!) I just changed the strings and tweaked the setup to my liking. Unlike most Jaydees, the Classic comes with the traditional credit card-sized preamp circuit which was also in Mark King's SA003. I like this preamp design better as it allows access to the pots so that you can clean them with contact cleaner without removing the entire electronic assembly that is found in typical active Jaydees.

Martin sold me a rack tuner - very reasonably priced, inexpensive postage and packing and very speedy delivery. He was politely forgiving of my delay regarding payment. Great seller.

Thought so, hence my tagging you.

Ah cool, I stand corrected. As you were then.

What you should try my friend, is one of these. I find that set to these approximate dial-settings, it gives a not far-off Double Bass sound. Good luck and hope this helps.

Yeah, I love those dimarzio, I have some in an old Kramer and they really punch

^^^^ this.

The VT Bass has the 'character' knob that changes it from B15 to SVT to a mega aggressive drive (according to Tech21)

They are.

Mani on bass…

Gutted for his boys to lose both parents at such a young age. RIP Mani. Such a huge influence.

The Stone Roses were one of the most important bands of my life. I used to play along to Mani's bass lines in my childhood bedroom. 63 really isn't old. That's very sad.

Awful news and unbelievably heartbreaking for his two young lads, who’ve lost both parents within a couple of years.
