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.

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.

I recently ordered a Seymour Duncan SPB 1 pickup for my Squier. I was looking at a Wizard Thumper or a quarter pounder, but I wanted an old school vintage sound, and these came highly recommended.

I started off on bass and progressed to guitar. It made paying the bass much more of an eye opener for me, the way the chords and scales worked together and wasnt just following the chords playing root notes all the time.

Im going by tube, no parking worries, no con charge and no breathalyser test

I spent a whole afternoon perfecting the bassline to 'The Seeker' by The Who, only to find that the drummer was playing something completely different to the original version, when I asked him he said it wasnt important to play it to the record. This caused a complete racket as the bass and drums clashed, so I had to play 4 to the bar instead. So the moral is, if you have to play it note for note, make sure your drummer does too!

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329484724' post='1543164'] Well for me it has to be Cookes Traditional Pie & Mash, just up near Shepherds Bush Green. [/quote] As seen in the film 'Quadraphenia' now sadly due to be knocked down to make way for a block of flats apparently!

Boody hell! I didnt realise it was that serious!! - I wont be doing that again!!

What time do you guys plan on turning up?

I always to to play it as G7sus4, amazing, you live and learn!

We played in a sports club over the weekend for a birthday party, and when I stepped up to the mike, I really got a belt as my lips touched it! All the other mikes where live too!, strangely enough, the bass strings and all other metal things were ok! had to spend the rest of the evening singing about 6" from the mike!!
