Nice one, you'll need a knee replacement before it needs a refret.

Glad to hear that you had a bit of good luck. Use the money to good use and better your situation. Any mods to your Fender is just the gas talking, ignore it, you don't need it.

Played for 43 years and sorry I had to give up due to RA, loved every minute of it. Just wish I could get rid of the GAS, that never goes away.

Bought it, can't wait to give it a listen and waste some veg.

Great playing, great music..you got a new fan. I'm going off to find more on YT as your website is not ready. Thanks for posting this Silddix.

As used by Alan Lancaster of the Quo in the 70's.

I opened a similar thread a few months ago and the overall opinion was, " get a Hohner." The Spirit was classed as a toy bass by some. I used to have a Washburn Status and that was ace, IMHO. They come up on here and Ebay from time to time but are fetching around £450 - £500 for a reasonable one.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1340410662' post='1704302'] Funny, I thought he overplayed the line just a fraction. Good playing nonetheless [/quote] Yeah, another Clutterbuck.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1340402620' post='1704221'] Some great basslines in those songs. And in the live clip of Ashes to Ashes, who was the guy playing the slap-bass line? [/quote] Just watching it now and thought the same thing. At last, a tasteful slapper. Nice bass too.

What, no Rory Gallagher? A wealth of stuff there.

Check out the Google Play site, plenty of good music apps there, Load are free and more to buy. Great phone BTW.

I already played DB at school, so bass was next on the list and my mate's band needed a bass player. At the time it was Andy Frazer, The Ox, Jack Bruce and Macca that I wanted to sound like. Massive fail.

Drama Queens springs to mind.

Have you been checked out for RA? If not, get it done.

The ad says it weights 10kg. WTF.

That is one stunning looking bass, I would love to hear it up close and loud. Congrats.

I'm with you Clarky, it hurts my eyes. Wastes a good maple neck. IMHO, E I E I O etc.

I would love to see the old line up if they played with John Coghlan and Alan Lancaster. In the '90's I played in a Quo tribute band and gigged with Coghlan under the name of Coghlan's Quo, doing all the old toons, Big Fat Mamma, Most of the time , Roadhouse Blue and so on. Lovely guy and pulled in the diehard fans but was still bitter about the direction at Rossi and Parfitt had taken the band.

Any update on the [s] nipples [/s] Blog yet?

Oh, I won, looking forward to seeing the results.

The Bass Doc?

Yeah, I got the gateway message. Seams to be ok now.
