[quote name='charic' post='1288812' date='Jul 1 2011, 11:29 AM']Not a DT fan I guess [/quote] Not since Awake (apart from that time they did all of The Number of The Beast at the Astoria)

Some of them are among the "without whom" I'd never have picked up the instrument in the first place: Geddy, Jack Bruce, JPJ, John Entwistle (missing are Tony Levin, Chris Squire). Have come to love PMac, Victa and Jaco since. I should really like Les Claypool but don't get it. (My Primus ticket is on eBay if anyone's interested). Flea, Cliff... not my thing either.

Zzzz Nothing new to see here, move along pls.

[quote name='spongebob' post='1281236' date='Jun 24 2011, 04:59 PM']What I really like is that this is the first I've heard of it - how many people make a massive PR song and dance when doing such a thing?[/quote] Maybe not enough PR in this case! I've stuck it on the Bass Player magazine facebook feed.

[quote name='Harry' post='1280501' date='Jun 24 2011, 08:12 AM']try The bass Gallery in Camdan town all the details are on their web site [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/[/url][/quote] Not much more to say than this. Good selection of basses and friendly, helpful staff.

If you've already got some bathroom scales, use those. Weigh yourself, then weigh yourself plus suitcase/bass/etc. One minus the other = postage/baggage allowance.

Good website, lots of interesting stock. All it needs is a "Show all" clicky... "Bass Guitars 1 to 24 of a total of 328 Bass Guitars Page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 NEXT" Good for searching. Rubbish for browsing.

Nick Beggs is now in Steve Hackett's touring band, and doing a pretty good job of it. The chap out of Bow Wow Wow was pretty good. Check out "Quiver (Arrows In My)" (it used to be on youtube, can't find it any more) (edit: It's Leigh Gorman - he ended up in Adam and the Ants)

[quote name='KevB' post='1262795' date='Jun 9 2011, 03:16 PM']I'm happy to give the whole Saturday a miss, just not enough there for me. Never a big Priest fan, Lizzy have been little more than a tribute act since reforming and on the prog stage there's really only Caravan I'd be bothered about. I think Spock's Beard were better with Neal Morse present but I find his solo stuff a bit dreary irrespective of the overtly religious content. So on balance I'd rather see SB without Morse on the Sunday than the man himself on the Sat. BJH don't really grab me much, looks suspiciously 'almost tribute' as Lizzy on the face of it. Not familiar with Von Hertzen Bros so maybe I'm missing something there but won't lose sleep over it, for me [i]personally[/i] Sunday wins hands down. For Sun I think gates open 12pm and rumour was that The Enid (2nd on bill at prog stage) would be on around 2pm so guessing first bands around 12:30-1pm? Curfews are 11pm Sat and 10:30pm Sun[/quote] Caravan will be a struggle for me: while they're one of my favourite prog acts, there's not really enough of them to call it Caravan apart from the songs they sign. Even Doug Boyle's jumped ship these days, and he really made a difference. The songs themselves and Geoff Richardson on hedge clippers might win the day though. Agree with you re Lizzy. VHBros are great - I've only heard one album but it's good stuff: look for their single "Miracle" on youtube.
