[quote name='wombatboter' post='919834' date='Aug 9 2010, 05:19 PM']Saw Roxy Music live yesterday over here in Belgium on a big festival around midnight... not with Guy Pratt but with Jerry Meehan. Good bass-playing but I would have preferred to hear a Jazz bass instead of a Precision to play the Roxy Music repertoire.[/quote] A Wal would have been even better

Here's a question for you Guy! What bass(es) did you play on the 'Toy Matinee' album and what exact effect pedal did you use on tracks like 'Queen Of Misery'? Thanks! I LOVE that album...and your playing on it!

We've never taken that step as the Agents tend to want to book small tours' of a fortnight or so.... and with families/responsibilities and decent full-time jobs this just wouldn't work for us...

Roy bought an amp off me today. Lovely guy, honest, trustworthy and on time! Highly recommended!!

Finally, this website is worthy of the legendary 'customer service' that PJ and Stuart are known for with the Spector brand....

Wow! I've just been browsing the new 'improved' Spector website (launched yesterday) for the last hour or so and have to say that it is one of the best bass manufacturer websites I've ever seen! [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/"]http://www.spectorbass.com/[/url] ALL the models through the years with full details on each one, history, artists, tech guides, links, accessories, online store, dealers etc etc etc.... Over 200 pages of info.... It's porn to me....

Time for an update methinks Here's our giglist for the second half of 2010: [b][u]August[/u] 21st Birkenhead ‘Hotel California’ [u]September[/u] 10th Bradford ‘Gasworks’ 11th Stourbridge ‘River Rooms’ [u]October[/u] 1st Grimsby ‘Yardbirds’ 2nd Sutton In Ashfield ‘Diamond’ [u]November[/u] 5th Newcastle ‘Legends’ 6th Glasgow Garage ‘Rock RadioBonfire Bash’ – w/Judus Beast & Non-Jovi 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 Arms’[/b]

Nice Does just under 40 count?

One VERY simple answer to all this. Get a Sansamp Bass Driver or VT Bass pedal. It's all you need, whatever bass you're playing....
