[quote name='martthebass' post='205638' date='May 24 2008, 05:58 PM']Nick, it suits you. No disrespect intended.[/quote] Thanks Mart!! (I think)

[quote name='Maxcat' post='205423' date='May 24 2008, 09:55 AM']I was at that gig Murph nd may I say your level of inebriation was identical to the majority oif the crowd. As a result you sounded awsome. Cum on U IIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIISSSSSSHHHHHHH![attachment=8941:hat1.jpg][/quote] Thanks for the feedback Maxcat. Funnily enough, we got 2 more gigs out of our performance!! Next time make yourself known and I'll buy you beer.

[quote name='OldGit' post='205287' date='May 23 2008, 10:23 PM']h ha go on then ... I may have to get a Shuk JJB 4 string at some point .. my POS SX P is Ok but when i play it I miss the Shuker P5 sound and playability and lights and neck [/quote] Jon reckons my 5 string is nearly done now. I really like his JJB too, so it might heavily influence my next order

[quote name='OldGit' post='205277' date='May 23 2008, 10:01 PM']Phew I thought you were going to have a long term problem .. You could do a hybrid Jazz with a P neck if you don't get on with it ... or Jon could knock you up a special with a wide neck ...[/quote] You're a very bad influence Si. I've already thought about the next project I can get Jon working on...

[quote name='OldGit' post='205268' date='May 23 2008, 09:49 PM']Ha ha How's your hearing doing with the jazz?[/quote] It's so much better. I really miss the P Bass and the width of the neck (the Jazz feels like a broom handle in comparison) but sonically it's so much more in my range. The pickups are a bit quiet, so I might put some Wizards in to it. Very happy though

[quote name='OldGit' post='205265' date='May 23 2008, 09:45 PM']Nice one, Isn't that what Guy Pratts one used to be? [/quote] It is Si. I guess that makes 2 Pratts with Burgundy Mist Jazz basses...

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='205256' date='May 23 2008, 09:30 PM']I thought that was [i]Bergundy Mist[/i] or something. It's hardly a DaisyRock colour, is it? I think your secret's safe for a while longer ...[/quote] It is Burgundy Mist and I think it's lovely. Not quite DaisyRock but maybe next time!!

At the request of Martthebass who wanted to see if I had the guts to play a pink bass in public, here are a few photos of a couple of gigs played at the London Irish recently. One is a Charity Do and the other was a 30th Birthday. I have never played so drunk as I did on the Charity gig as the photo with me and my Stingray will testify (what on earth was I doing and who the Hell has stolen my neck?) Fortunately, I am led to believe this is my Jazz face, not my sex face (thank you Mrs Old Horse for clarifying that). Excuse the Cauliflower ears, the fact that I look like a builder and the shoddy technique. As a bass player, I make a mighty fine Tighthead Prop. I think Phil Lynott's title of sexiest Irish bass player is safe for a while longer....

Hmmm, I was expecting something far more "adult" and well, rude when I opened this thread. I was even going to buy one for the wife... Very disappointing.

That is stunning. I'd like one in blue please

[quote name='coasterbass' post='203519' date='May 21 2008, 09:34 AM']I seem to remember a Bassist article on Norman about 10years back where it said that his cabs are customs... as in he made them himself. Anyone else confirm that??[/quote] I recall seeing an article a few months ago in one of the Bass Magazines that showed Norman receiving his brand new rig from Trace Eliott. It was taller than him!!

Fantastic post mate and a really good retrospective on letting basses go but living to regret it at a later stage (one I can certainly relate to). I can't believe you sold your "wedding ring". My wife and Mum bought me a Stingray between them a few years ago and I know that if I ever moved it on, neither of them would speak to me for months......hmmmm, tempting.......

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='193790' date='May 7 2008, 12:41 PM']Welcome Fred. Unfortunately I never got to take my Tax exams - the Falklands conflict broke out and I was dispatched with the rest of 2 Para. Congratulations though, and welcome to the forum.[/quote] War eh? Poor old Chiefy. Those exams could have been life changing. As my mate George says "war is stupid And people are stupid And love means nothing In some strange quarters" Last time I saw him he was chaining some fella to a wall in his spare bedroom. Not sure why, but I think they were both Freemasons or something.

Welcome Fred- you couldn't have come at a better time!! Well done on the Tax exams too. I remember when I did mine. It nearly killed me

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='190345' date='May 2 2008, 10:28 AM']It wasn't In The Round - it was Songwriter's Circle. It was that very episode that turned me onto 10cc (and Aztec Camera for that matter) as I thought the songs were fab. I never realised that Graham Gouldman also wrote Bus Stop for the Hollies and from that point on, I went on a bit of a Graham Gouldman adventure. To this day, Dreadlock Holiday remains one of my favourite songs. Anyway, this is the bit you are all waiting for... you'll find all the videos withing here - [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/thingsihaveseen3"]http://www.youtube.com/user/thingsihaveseen3[/url][/quote] Ah, that's maybe why I've never found it when I've searched for it. Thanks for the link. I'm a happy man!!
