I like that

Xotic

Quasar bass altho that's the model name rather than manufacturer

Think the older WAL's looked neater. Had one in mid 80's and great to play and nothing sounded like a WAL bass back then. Dave

Some of this while searching name of the Staccato bass. Saw this back in 80's and was very impressed by them.

Parker and Staccato basses quite eye catching

Spot on.

Surprised no-one has mentioned these yet. They were quite different when first appeared and very well made. Bit expensive but if i had the chance i would buy one. Alembic.

Is the centre section a pick up or ramp ? Loving the colour of that.

Pic not available ?

My very own Overwater

Always liked the Pangborn Warrior bass design. This is the best colour pic i could find on line. Very similar to Jaydee layout now that i see it again.

Aye you're back Dave. No getting away from it you are a 4 stringer.

I've found a combination of both depending on venue. We've done ticketed gigs where people specifically come to see us play 70's Glam covers and we've done the clubs etc where as you say some of the audience will be there anyway. Some clubs bok you because the band brings in a bigger audience than other bands.

So you're a tanned woman with a PJ then ? That's good enough for me.

WOW i'm now back to being a real man again after a brief spell into 5 & 6 stringers.

Dave has returned to the fold with his renewed love of his old P bass. The boy has returned a man. Dave

Likewise my volume is set to balance against the drums and it never changes between gigs. My amp and bass settings never change even with full PA support. Means when i turn up at a gig i know exactly where my Master volume will be.Guitarists volume does vary a bit because of pedals he uses but he knows about it and is constantly tweaking them to get a better balance for himself. Dave

3 defining LIVE bands i've seen changes things a bit Thin Lizzy (76) Rush (78) Genesis (80)

Beatles EP at age 3 or 4 but not sure that really counts. First 3 impressionable bands Sweet Bowie Kiss Followed closely by Rush, Genesis, Floyd, and so many others after that Dave

Almost same for me in my early teens. Blockbuster - Sweet Ballroom Blitz - Sweet T.rex - Truck On Tyke Mud - Dynamite

We started off with the 4 off us making a list each and when we sat down at first band meet we looked at the common songs. Doing a specific era in music it was quite limiting. After that someone suggests a song and if we all agree we have a go at it. If it works we keep it. We don't have a band leader. Its a group decision and if someone hates doing a song then its best dropped. I'm lucky that we all share the same taste in songs with very few songs that we don't agree on. Some songs i've not been too sure about but once we try it i find its actually a great wee song to play. Dave

Always been a huge fan of Sweet. Altho their hits were mostly done by writers their B sides and live concerts included many of their own songs. They did sacrifice their originality for stardom tho but they were at least a very talented group of musicians who could rock with the best of the rock bands of that era. Here's one of my favs

I was looking for the kit. I think you might get a tin tho.

Gerlitz was not available on Amazon so went for the Dunlop full cleaning kit.
