  2. Well I'm a fan. When I saw him with the Floyd at Wembley, I thought he brought new dynamics to the music and I would love to have his talent and CV. I don't think you get the gigs he has played if he had acted like a dick.
  3. First Bass - Jedson Telecaster shaped short scale bass. (Jap Crap). Go to Bass- - Fender P USA '57RI My Bass - Fender P USA '57 RI
  4. I had a Washburn Status 1000 for years, loved the feel and it always was in tune. The only disadvantage of headless basses is there is nowhere to put you fag Clapton style.
  5. I've been down the same position in the past and found that local practice studios were the best option. If you want your "near "gigging tone and volume and want to get on without hassle from the neighbours, it's great. I have found that on Sunday mornings, the studios were cheaper that the afternoon, so win/win with the locals and your drummer. Remember, your neighbours could become paying punters at your gigs if you get it right so they end up paying for your studio time.
  6. Are these the same or a different manufacturer? [url="http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/Farida_Bass_Guitars.html"]http://www.dawsons.co.uk/acatalog/Farida_Bass_Guitars.html[/url]
  7. [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1120728' date='Feb 8 2011, 10:14 PM']I can't get my head around the concept of describing [i]Help! [/i]as a blues song. That is just plain weird. Go with Geoff & Homer (above) if you're after classic, pure blues. Fleetwood Mac especially are a treasure trove of late 60's /early 70's British blues, or you could go back a bit further and try some Chickenshack. If you want a rather rockier version of the blues, check out stuff like The Doors and The Allman Brothers Band, maybe some early Johnny Winter or even The Groundhogs. But if you want blues played with real style, for me it has to be Freddie King.[/quote] +1 All these bands are influences on my playing and my love for the blues. Check out Albert King and Albert Collins.
  8. [quote name='leroybasslines' post='1120762' date='Feb 8 2011, 10:38 PM']Totally agree! That's why he's so in demand I guess...he really can polish a turd! I'm being harsh to show off, but it's a little bit true...[/quote] Spot on, thanks for the playlist. I'll be giving my workmates something it think about when I plug my laptop into their stereo. I think Pino can fit into any gig and look like he's been there for years. Top Banana.
  9. Bump for the only bass that has ever given me a semi. Stunning.
  10. [quote name='Bassman Sam' post='1118298' date='Feb 6 2011, 09:24 PM']Did i just imagine there was going to be a a bass bash today? No reports or photos yet or is there no broadband in the borders. [/quote] I think I woke them up.

  12. This is good advice. As I said in another post,I work of a courier company and know what can happen. Please don't cut corners. Package it the way [b]you[/b] would like receive it.
  13. I read the ad as saying that the case is included in the sale and unless otherwise stated, would expect it to arrive in good condition as well. I have sold a few guitars and basses on the bay and always packaged them well but then again, I work for a courier co. and know what a bunch of ***** they are.
  14. I have had the same bass for the last 16 years, a USA '57RI and never thought of selling even tho' it's not been played much.Then I found Basschat. Gave me bloody GAS. I even tried to sell it but I had to withdraw it. It just felt wrong listing it in the first place. It's sad to be attached to a bass but I'm a soppy old Hector. It's a keeper until the next GAS attack or the RA over takes me.
  15. [quote name='zeke_bloke' post='1116113' date='Feb 5 2011, 01:38 AM']Hi, I've been playing guitar for 5 years and I'm fairly adept at it, I want to try another instrument now and ive decided on bass. I'm starting a band with friends and I want a fat rich sound not too trebly that will punch through and really fill out space. If a bassist taking up guitar asked me a similiar question I'd put them onto a Les Paul so what's the bass world got to offer to that will do that? I'm thinking of pairing my new bass with an orange tiny terror 1000watt head if that makes a difference and my budget will be about £800 for the bass[/quote] Buy my USA Fender '57 RI if you like the road worn/relic look with a great tone/grunt. Well, it's worth a try.
  16. I think it's stunning but I would be afraid to fart in the same room as it in case I damaged the finish.
  17. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='1112958' date='Feb 2 2011, 08:30 PM']It used to be across the thigh as I thought that was cool but it's got higher. For a long time now (years) I have it so the strings go across the fly area. I think because I got into bad habits in the early days they've proven tough to break[/quote] They may be bad habits but they don't make you blind.
  18. I saw some of it and was glad to see that he didn't slap all the way through, that's why he was out of his comfort zone.
  19. I'm just waiting for the Sanatogen gig to come along.
  20. [quote name='cocco' post='1110293' date='Jan 31 2011, 10:17 PM']I have roto sound and fender endorsements, I don't use fender stuff apart from my CIJ jazz which I had before the endorsement. I love roto strings so that's good. It's handy too, strings are expensive![/quote] That sounds like the ideal situation to me and, yes, when I was a young 'un, I would have endorsed anything if it was free.
  21. That, Dear Sir, is all down to morals. How much they paying?
  22. My gob has never been so smacked!!
  23. Closed my eyes and I was back in the Greens Playhouse 1974. Great playing guys and a great bass sound Craig, Respect Sir.
  24. Got me too, I thought F*ck me - already!!
