I just love any drummer (and come to think of it,musician!) who can nail a straight groove that totally complements the song, without endlessly showing off their 'technique'.
Amazing how many players who are technically proficient just don't know how to do this without ruining the whole song/drowning out the vocal etc etc.
In my view, 'simple' is usually the best option,and has the effect of making occasional fills/accents all the more effective.

Masters of this for me are:-

Charlie Watts
Max Weinberg (E Street Band)
Steve Ferrone (AWB etc)

Now sold (not to a BC'er).
Cheers.

Amazingly , yes!!

Thought £695 was a fair price, then reduced it to current bargain price of £650
(If it does n't prompt any interest,will just keep it and maybe try again in a few months.)


Cheers.

Thanks mate, but already got a P-bass.
Cheers

PM replied! (okay I mean bump!)

Last bump .........(hopefully)

Now sold - thanks for your interest.

Check setlist, have a PSP (pre-show p*ss) and go for it.

Oh dear...........

Saw Simon Philips in a charity show once with Jeff Beck and Clapton.
Eric came on to do 'Further on up the road', a standard 12 bar blues shuffle, and Simon just killed the whole thing with overplaying and
out of context fills-absolutely no groove at all. Am sure he's technically excellent, but this style of playing leaves me stone cold.( Just my opinion of course!) Just hope Pino does n't stay in that niche too, as have seen him with other bands where he's been great.

(Incidentally in my band PSP is short for a pre-show p*ss!)

Bump-great bass at a great price!

Someone told me cat litter (unused!) works well at absorbing odours - have n't tried it myself though!
The coffee idea probably more palatable!

Have used D'Addarios for ages - the EXL170 set (45-65-80-100) worked out best for me.
They last for ages, are consistent in quality and tone too.
As mentioned above, best deals to be had buying the twin packs if you can find 'em.

Had a 4x10 combo once - okay,but not v.loud or tonally wonderful either!
They diid a 1x15 combo too,both using Celestion speakers with an 11 band graphic I think.
They seem to fetch around £90 these days, and are not particularly sought after.
Hope this helps, cheers.

Think it is an Ampeg [b]V6-B.[/b]
Made in the 1970's, part of Ampegs first wave of solid state kit I think.
240 watts into 4 ohms, simple controls etc - probably at lower end of their range?

Price reduction bump.

Thanks-Got a bit of interest but nothing solid as yet!

Met Mart at the weekend - despite our Sterling/Stingray trade not coming off, he nevertheless posted me a spare scratchplate,with the wish that I made a contrbution to basschat for it.
(Did this today after receiving the plate,posted first class too!)
Top bloke or what!

[quote name='Rowbee' post='605054' date='Sep 21 2009, 09:57 PM']It's very pretty. Good luck with the sale. [/quote]


Cheers mate - do you think the price is fair? I think so - bass is in great shape.
I really thought this would have been snapped up.

Would maybe consider (very!) near offer.

Okay, final bump for a last price reduction!
Or it's back under the stairs for you two.......
