Where would be be without long straps...........or boobs for that matter!

I second the above. Great to see you all, that Roland Synth is NUTS! Had a great time and thanks to Nick for organising. Sorry I had to rush off early for band practice. LC

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1352547290' post='1864415'] For the early stuff, also check out [i]All My Loving[/i] ... Macca was superb right from the start. [/quote] I love playin that one!

This..... http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/limelight00107pbass.htm Anyone know anything about them, I'm liking it!

Walking on the moon - Police, so iconic that bass line Yellow - Coldplay ...and as Space Chick says above - 12 bar blues!

Is it just me that thinks he looks exactly like Syeed from East Enders?

All shades of wrong!

I bought a PA today so well and truly cleaned out! I've also just ordered a neck pup ash tray for the 'mist' just to kinda complete the look. I've given her a good clean, fretboard oil and raised the bridge pup which was completely flush with the body when I bought her. She 'plays' better than any of my other basses, quick neck and low buzz free action. I'd be very sorry to see her go! You've put me in a right quandary! LC

Hi Ellie, (From a fellow Essex bod now living in Wales), Sarfend-on Sea was my old stomping ground! Anyway, strings like maple/rosewood boards, active/passive basses, Fender/Gibson is all very personal. For a start I haven't tried Roto's at all, but I know lot's of people swear by them (some indeed paid to swear by them )! I use Ernie Ball hybrid slinkies stnd gauge because they are not too expensive, they have a nice feel under the fingers (not rough), right tension and they sound good! Mark from Bass Direct gave me a freebie set of R.Cocco nickels when I bought my Vigier there, more expensive (hand made) by a tenner a set and I still prefer the Ernies! Oh La Bella flats are also very good. Try a few and buy the ones that feel and sound right! Cheers, LC

Debs came to our first gig and noticed that I had a fretless for sale. She came with cash, liked the bass and bought it there and then so you can't get much slicker than that! Thanks Debs....see you at the bass bash! LC

These appear to go on the bay for pennies.........and the reason...they're sh#te!
