I was thinking of subscribing to the ipad editions, but common decency would be to give subscribers an update on the situation, unfornuately, the silence of ibass has lost my interest.

Hmm. I was interested in the ipad edition, but the lack of keeping subscibers informed, and no coms leaves me no longer bothered.

For that sort of dirty accusations, he almost certainly owes you a free practice at least!!

I find it hard to play a complex part and sing, but its nigh impossible to stop myself looking down at my fingers instead of looking at the audience.

Also to add to Billyapples post above, did you know that Tony Butler has disconnected his tone pots for years, and this bass is too, if you want it reconnected in his Jhs P bass, you have to specify that you want it to be? BTW billy, if you were sitting behind me, sorry for the coughing, First day out from having flu

I bought a T shirt for a tenner and a bottle water (small) for £2

Had a go on a USA 62 RI P Bass on the 'guitar guitar' stand, what a beauty! but I couldnt really hear myself above the thwackety whaketty slappers at full volume. Caught the Tony Butler masterclass, he seemed a pleasant enough chap, some great drum and bass moments with his ex Big Country drummer Mark Brezicki I was quite surprised that I could wander in without being stopped I did fess up, but the security guy must have had a right earful from his boss!

Seymour Duncan vintage SBP1 gives an old school p bass thump, without beefing it up like quarter pounders or similar hot pickups do.

While changing the battery on my stingray, Guitarist - Ooh, i never knew bass guitars ran on batteries? Me- ........(speachless).......!

I wont be there early, i have to drop off my Ray to Peter Cooks for a setup, but i will be in the hand and flower pub across the road having a swift half, about 1pm if anyone wants to say hello.

Another vote for Bruce Foxton, the sound affects album was played to death in my house when i was 15. Maybe Pretty Green or Start.

I Just realised with all this talk of George Harrison, and our BC member Bluejay. Mr H actually wrote a song called Bluejay Way. ......! I,ll let myself out!

I got a solid silver one as a christmas pressie last year, with my name ingraved on it, however, as soon as I tried to play all the strings snapped!!

I was sat behind ian Brown on a flight from Edinburgh to London when my mate churped up quite loudly "Ere Paul, look, its Noel Gallegher!" If l could have seen his face! funnily enough, he got quite touchy when the stewardess asked him to take his earphones off as we were landing!

I dont mind Guigsy as a bass player, he played what was needed on all Oasis tracks. If I was asked to come up with what Noel wanted, I would have played the same thing he played.

Why all the fawning? Guy Pratts on here, and no one bats an eyelid

[quote name='paulypbass' timestamp='1330390073' post='1556837'] i normally get ernie ball strings in that gauge. the only gay thing about nickel strings is they really dont last that long but i personally think they sound much nicer. [/quote] And they are kinder on the frets than stainless steel strings. more info here.. [url="http://www.bass-strings.com/bass-string-guide"]http://www.bass-stri...ss-string-guide[/url]

Currently in bed with flu, hope I feel better by Saturday!

Been using these on all my basses recently, nickel strings for me too!

I just play the main guitar riff on the bass, that fills it out a bit more than Bills original line.

Cheers guys!, now if I can remember where I left my soldering iron!

I have ordered a set of Seymour Duncan SPB1 pickups for my Squier P Bass as the originals are a bit bit thin sounding. Would upgrading to 500K pots improve the sound too? Its a nice looking bass which i,m fond of, so am looking to upgrade it.

Bad Company - Feel Like Making Love, I love the way Boz Burrell never plays the same pattern twice, just a variation of it. Queen - Fat Bottom Girls (In dropped D) John Deacon, first proper song of his I,ve played! (apart from the awful CLTCL) which i dont count.
