    Used one of the older (heavier) Kickback 12 amps for years - great piece of kit. Handled pub gigs with ease and the tiltback feature was great for personal monitoring when used with a PA. My cat absolutely destroyed the carpeted finish once however. Do they still have it, or is it vinyl now?

    Love my Promethean P5110c and 1x10 extension cab. Took me years to find the extension but what a rig for its size!

    I have to say - living in Northern Ireland, I haven't yet encountered any problems with people willing to post, nor would I be hesitant to courier an item to Britain.

    Didn't like the Genz Benz Shuttle at all - far too much gain on tap and could never get a clean tone at any sort of volume. Certainly not the worst amp I've ever owned but didn't enjoy it at all.

    Fender or bust for me. Love the CS Pino and Sean Hurley Precision basses.

    More of a bass owner than a bass player

    Yeah it definitely sounds like more than 4 beats anyway! Can't work it out tho.

    New nut, bridge, tuners at the very least and I could imagine intonation issues? Interesting thought tho!

    Another one to think about is contingency plans should a member not be available. Do they pull the gig or do they get a dep? Equally important should you yourself be unavailable for whatever reason.

    A rather infamous blues singer over in NI here once punched a woman in the mouth when she grabbed his mic. Absolute chaos!

    Changing times and changing trends. If a pub or bar owner doesn't understand the positive effect that a band can have on his takings (if presented and marketed right by the venue) then no one can tell him. It's often a risk outlaying a few hundred quid for a band with no guaranteed return. Sadly the way a lot of venues are going nowadays.

    Give iReal Pro a look - not sure it does all of what you need, but I use it as a double bass practice tool and it is superb.

    Definitely call in and see Larry Hartke at Sam Ash music on 34th Street (I think)? He's usually there and always has a great story or two. Amazing basses too including high end examples from all the NYC builders (Fodera, Sadowsky etc)

    Nick was a pleasure to deal with, thanks!

    Sir Duke! Can never get the runs in the final chorus nailed. All my note choices sound wrong!

    Just checked out that video of the band covering Spirit of Radio - one of the best live versions I've heard, super accurate to the original!

    Yeah I love it when he digs in with the 70s Jazz on the Jackson 5 stuff particularly, but give him a washtub bass and he would still rock it like a pro!

    Probably been done to death on BC, but just had my annual watch of 'This Is It' Absolutely the greatest show on earth, what a pity it never happened. Alex Al on top form on bass, lovely pocket playing with the odd flourish. Spotted a couple of nice SR5s (fretted, fretless) and a 70s Jazz with an array of synth bass too. If you haven't seen it - do yourself a favour and check it out! Superb musicianship all round and a great insight into the world of high level show production. Haven't put my bass down since watching it earlier! Danny

    My first thought was GK MB500 too, as recommended twice above. Super clean amp.
  24. acidbass
    Wow! What is with all the beautiful F Basses on here at the moment? Superb.

    Geddy Entwistle's later stuff Jaco and anyone who solos bridge pickup really.
