Hi all Does anyone have the Norstrand big singles on a 5 string, how do they compare to EMG soapbars? Are there any noise issues etc. Any info would be appreciated Cheers

The Tascam is brilliant, as described and fast postage. Cheers Lee

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='175469' date='Apr 12 2008, 10:41 PM']Hi Cameron,thanks for the welcome. Sorry but ive not been to the Lamb lately,to be honest i didnt know there was a Jazz Funk night on there.....if thats what you meant. Back in the day i got into the music,firstly at the carribean club in town then in 79 cassinelli's in standish started up and was the place to be.Oh the memories.Blackpool all dayers,tunes to die for,jumpers for goalposts and all that hehe. I used go to the king georges hall in blackburn till a couple of years ago.Im still loving the music tho',trying my best to jam along too. So whats the lamb like now then ?? I used to go now and then when they had bands on[/quote] The Lamb was a great little pub venue at the end of Church street for live bands. Sunday night was usually jazz funk and the band 'Free Parking' would have many different line ups, the rhythm section Steve Williams on bass and Paul Burgess ( ex 10CC drummer)was my favourite combination. It closed a few years ago and has been converted into flats i think.

Hi Pete welcome from yet another Prestonian, are you talking about jazz funk Sunday nights at the Lamb on Church Street? Cameron

I started having lessons with Nick quite recently. Initially, I wanted to improve my bass theory. We have started to address reading, which has been enjoyable and certainly not as daunting as I first expected. This is undoubtedly due to Nick's laid back unregimented, but encouraging, approach. He is also starting to iron out quite a few bad habits with my technique too. Very highly recommended, Nick CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Cameron

Dave You could try www.eden-electronics.com If you go on the forum and search there is a vast amount of information on the DBX range. A lot of American Eden users swear by them. Cameron

I was also very impressed with the ACG at the NW bash. Unfortunately didn't play it, but it sounded fantastic, I think it was Russ playing through Alans rig. Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks John and Ped for organising the bash, nice to meet everyone. Glad the Sadowsky was a hit, but I have to say it's a keeper and defo not for sale. Cheers Chaps

Having bought quality cables and a much treasured Status Stealth from Dave, I can highly recommend him as an honest and reliable geezer. Cheers mate.

Yes I have one on mine, great invention for sure. Must get some pics taken soon!

Excellent taste if I may say so. Has the fretless been fitted with a VTC?

Not sure on the cost factor, but you could probably pick up a used Sadowsky.

Shame Al, another good venue bites the dust in the North West. It's the old... landlord does a bunk and takes his diary with him problem. Tantrum are a great young blues band though, could have been worse.

Only joking

Keep em all in suspense...save it for the NW bash mate
