  5. Yes! Gary was an early MM user, along with Danelectro and Fender Jazz I think. Great player / band.
  6. [quote name='mep' post='1083659' date='Jan 9 2011, 09:56 PM']You haven't said which ones you are using? I used to use Rotosound rounds years ago but had some issues with the E string so ditched them. After using a few other brands I bought some R45's, the nickel on steel roundwonds without the coloured windings as they were cheaper. To be honest they are pretty damn good for the price. I wanted to try something different from steel roundwounds without going to far - ie flats and these do for me now.[/quote] +1 for the nickel Rotos. Great value strings that sound good & last too. (This is from someone who hates Swing Bass Rotos!)
  7. I love it. £8k though? Mmm, not sure myself. If I had the dosh then I'd probably go for it, knowing that I could get my money back or even a profit if/when I came to sell. Cue lots of the usual vintage vs. relic vs. custom built comments.....
  8. Not great for heavy basses - more of a Strat / tele guitar strap methinks.
  9. Entire PA went down at a prestigous gig at Grosvenor House in London - culprit was the fog machine blowing its stuff straight into the power amps. Had to wait for the amps to reset before continuing. In my early band days I was playing guit*r through a Vox AC30 at a WM Club in Knaresborough when it actually caught fire along with the curtain at the back of the stage - audience thought it was pyros!
  10. FWIW, my take on things- Great - Cee Lo Green, Plan B, Ruby Turner, Rumer, Bellowhead, Secret Sisters and the JH Big Band as usual. Average - Roger Daltrey, Toots, Kylie (looking great as usual though!) Err... - Wanda Jackson, Alison Moyet, Vampire Weekend, Stephen K Amos.... All in all still a great show IMO, plenty of variety etc. Must admit I've always thought Gilson's drumming fits in fine with the JH band, and he plays like someone who listens to whats needed to me. Always an easy target, but still the best place (IMO of course) for live music on mainstream telly. Happy New year.
  11. Nice!!! Okay, I'll open with £300 (+ on a good day?)
  12. These often go for not much more when in better nick. Great basses though.....
  13. Peavey TVX210 - fairly portable (65lbs), 4 ohms and sound pretty good. Oh yeah and cheap too - circa £199 new, s/h £100 or less.
  14. [quote name='BurritoBass' post='1062507' date='Dec 18 2010, 02:33 PM']Bass. Cable. Amp. Job done. Nothing against effects but just not for me[/quote] +1
  15. Mine is on (so far). Am in West Yorkshire tomorrow though, so may be a tough one towards the Pennines. We've had it probably the worst over the last few weeks here in East Yorkshire, and have n't missed a gig yet! Been to London and the N.East and made it to them all. (Ironically my local pub gig 5 miles away cancelled us though!) Allow loads of time for travelling, take shovels & warm clothes and flasks etc, drive sensibly and plan your route according to BBC road/weather updates.
  16. Mmmm.. I thought 'D' too, but sounds (to me anyway) like the guitarist plays the solos as if it's in 'G'??? When we play it we always do a big rall and finish on the 'D' though!
  17. Am I the only one who prefers the version in the OP.......??
  18. I stopped playing over 24 years ago for nearly a year during the period when my daughter was born, and really glad I did too. Actually quite enjoyed the break for 3-4 months, after that I was starting to get twitchy - staying in Saturday nights etc! Guess its in my blood and all that , been playing in bands now for nearly 40 years (I was 13 when I first started by the way!), and don't see myself stopping in the forseeable future - unless the amount of gigs dries up completely. Have a break, but never say never.......
  19. Ah yes, but is it in 'D' or 'G' ?.............!!!
  20. Having broken my arm/shoulder a couple of years back, I know what you're going through. +1 for the Rees - tried one at a show a while ago and it felt great. Agreed with comments on Hohner B2A - nice n light but the neck that much further to your left makes it a bit of a stretch. (Guess this could be remedied with the Steinberger device which attaches to the neck strap button but they are rare as hens teeth.) Great to hear of a bit of Dano love too! My Dano Longhorn is really light & quite well balanced. Great for long gigs - only one sound really, but its a good un. Would recommend some good massage to help things along too - worked well for me. Good luck.
  21. Ok, I'll be first in to say GK - the 800RB are great amps and fairly priced/plentiful on your side of the pond. The 700's are good too! Depends what you play&where really.
