If anybody knows about this condition you should..I'm just looking forward to the day that you decide to part with the collection - there's going to be some stampede [/quote] GAS? Me? No..... not [i]any more[/i]!! I [i]used to[/i] though... It's good to know that, should I ever be forced to part with a large part of my collection, there is an orderly queue forming!

Crikey!! That's a beauty!! Now, if that were a 4-string....

[quote name='jimwin' post='1087753' date='Jan 13 2011, 11:23 AM']I went last night. Very funny. The bass he was using looked like it has had a hard life! Great evening.[/quote] I think that was a Sandberg 'reliced' jazz.... hence the battered look!

Can't see ebay auctions here at work... but if it's the one I think it is then I have two of these basses & I love them. He's well overpriced though...

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='1084216' date='Jan 10 2011, 02:03 PM']Will try and make it for the Walthamstow gig![/quote] Lovely! Would be great to see you!

There are far too many great bass lines out there but some faves that come to mind immediately are: Chicago - What's This World Comin' To? (Peter Cetera) Doobie Brothers - Double Dealin' Four Flusher (Tiran Porter) Toy Matinee - Queen Of Misery (Guy Pratt) Talk Talk - It's My Life (Paul Webb ) Ian Dury & The Blockheads - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick (Norman Watt-Roy)

Anyone out there going to see Guy Pratt perform his 'stand-up' show "Wake Up Call" at the Leicester Square Theatre, London, tonight? If so, anyone fancy a beer beforehand as it doesn't start until 9pm...

Wanted to come to this but not sure I can make it now...

Ooooh! I'd like to at least test this baby out! Not sure I'd buy it though...

In fact, it was always a dream in the studio, with that nice hot signal it always had amazing presence and was a joy to mix because it never faded into obscurity like some basses do. And through an amp, it was always beautifully crisp and growly. It sounded as good as the Status Stealth bass I had at the time, and that is high praise indeed.[/quote] ^This... +a million...

Bumping for our upcoming shows! [b][u]Jan[/u] 28th Camberley ‘Agincourt’ 29th Crewe ‘The Box’ [u]Feb[/u] 4th Bilston ‘Robin2’ 5th Walthamstow ‘Standard’[/b]

Thanks Dave! Likewise Will be great to see you at The Standard!

Great rock player... and by all accounts a lovely bloke too. Very sad.... RIP Phil...

Bought a gorgeous Spector from Dave. Lovely guy, hand delivered it and he has excellent taste in music! Thanks mate!

[quote name='Bassmurf' post='1080484' date='Jan 6 2011, 09:40 PM']Thanks guys for all your help and tips regarding this, I even ended up emailing Spector customer services and within 2 hours got a reply back from PJ Rubal, their vice president - how's that for customer service![/quote] Ah, yes.... PJ... He's a legend... and Spector's customer service is second to NONE...

RIP Mick and thanks for sharing your talent with us...

[quote name='tedgilley' post='1076605' date='Jan 3 2011, 06:35 PM']Peter Cetera -- Absolutely amazing on [i]Chicago[/i]'s first album (way before they went to soft pop ballads)[/quote] You Sir are a man of excellent taste.... I'd go even further and say that his playing [i]throughout[/i] the 70's was really quite something! For me in no particular order... Peter Cetera (Chicago) Tiran Porter (Doobie Brothers) David Paton (Alan Parsons / Pilot / etc etc) Dee Murray (Elton John) John Deacon (Queen) with honoury mentions for the following who have influenced/inspired me immensely: Rutger Gunnarsson (Abba) Geddy Lee (Rush) Gene Simmons (KISS) Kip Winger (Winger/Alice Cooper) Steve Harris (Iron Maiden) Dave Hope (Kansas) Joe Puerta (Ambrosia) Guy Pratt (particularly with Toy Matinee) Billy Sheehan (DLR/Mr Big) Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) Leon Wilkeson (Lynyrd Skynyrd) Paul Goddard (Atlanta Rhyhtm Section)
