Have you got the pole dancers supporting you again?[/quote] Excellent! Come up & say 'Hi!' after Re: the Pole Dancers...Sadly for the audience this time, no.... but I'm trying to organise a 'private backstage' performance

Great bassline, beautiful lady

Richard Jones - The Feeling. Melodic and thoughtful basslines...

Well done that man!

It's been a great year for us. Attendances up, 'money' up and support from fans/venues/Promoters is better than ever Being polite, friendly and proactive with the above has kept our great reputation intact and enabled us to reach a larger audience. The excellent recent KISS tour helped as well... and better targeting of advertising through social networks, mailing list etc etc has also paid dividends.

Bumping for the last of this year's gigs! [b][u]November[/u] 19th Witney 'Fat Lils' 20th Swindon 'The Furnace' (different set list to Witney as venues are reasonably close) [u]December[/u] 3rd Cardiff - 'The Globe' 4th Norwich - 'Brickmakers' [/b]

Sometimes something comes along which really surprises you.... I've recently benefitted from an amazing stupidly low-priced deal on the following bass. We're talking pocket money here chaps....! It's a Jap-made Washburn 'Pat Badger' signature bass, fully loaded with active EMGs (non-standard on Washburns). From what I can discern, there were probably only 5 or 6 of these ever made of which Pat has 2 or 3...! This particular bass came via the Washburn USA showroom and it appears to be a demo model of a signature bass line that never went fully into production. A very nice collector-piece and a great sounding bass to boot! Here are the sellers photos (haven't taken my own yet...):

I had this problem many years back... and ended up selling my amp. Here's some advice from my experience... 1) Never use it with an 8ohm cab. Make sure it always sees at least 4ohms! 2) Have a word with a good tech about disabling/reducing the sensitivity of the 'protection circuitry'. It's MUCH too sensitive and shuts down the amp at the slightest thing... Hope this helps!

Peter Cetera (Chicago) - melodic and forthright basslines & all while singing superbly! Tiran Porter (Doobie Brothers) - master of groove, melody and knowing what's 'just right' for a song Gene Simmons (KISS) - showed me how to play well constructed rock basslines while putting yourself 'forward' on stage Others just outside the top 3 would have to include Phil Lynott, John Deacon , Dee Murray & Rutger Gunnarsson... ...and of course they all link back to McCartney/Jamerson

My 2 80's ESP 'Masayoshi Yamashita' basses.... The black one is active & EMG loaded, the white/cream one is passive....

Wow! That's a GORGEOUS build! Congrats!

Great story!

I'll be at Shepherds Bush Empire on Friday!

This..... one of my fave songs by my fave band. This live version gives me goosebumps when it 'kicks in to overdrive' at around 2.50....

I LOVE white basses.... they have a nice 'classy' feel/look to them iMHO.... Here's mine: First up, my yellowing 80's ESP PPJ160 'Masayoshi Yamashita': My Jackson Futura/Kip Winger (now SOLD): On the right - my Allparts/Fender 70's Jazz with Wizard pickups, Gotoh bridge & vintage reverse-tuners : On the left, my original issue Fender Jazz Bass Special and on the right my Fender Japan 62RI Precision: My white Spector collection (l to r: NS2JA-CR, Euro4, NS2A, USA Kramer NS2): Stuart Spector Design USA NS4 (now SOLD):

[quote name='lanark' post='1010498' date='Nov 3 2010, 10:41 AM']Personally, I'd drop the ... with Jools Holland, hook in Mark Radcliffe and Jo Whiley to go with Jools and put the show on all year round with each of the three hosting alternate months.[/quote] Jo Whiley ?!?!? Please no!! I couldn't stand her gushing love for EVERY act and fake enthusiasm that every song/band is the best she's ever heard....
