  1. [quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1412238127' post='2566945'] That bass looks like it got dressed in the dark! [/quote] Brilliant
  2. Having defretted my old bass awhile ago id say £90 is well worth it
  3. [quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1411794457' post='2562842'] That was only for research purposes. [/quote] So err just how is the book coming along Pete?
  4. Also there are interesting similarities to both Apple's and U2 plc's tax policies
  5. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1410440110' post='2549453'] Great marketing move from U2... wonder how much that cost them..??? My phone is music free unless I youtube it. That is not what I want from it, tbh. [/quote] According to Private Eye this week Apple paid Bonio and friends £100 million to use their new album.
  6. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1410206822' post='2547183'] We played at small Nottingham festival Medfest on Saturday. When we arrived, I was disappointed to see a sparse turnout, with a smattering of people passively sitting watching the great Mike Rutherford Band pumping out some blues crowd-pleasers. A couple of reggae acts followed and then us as the final act. Thankfully a group of friends/fans came along and we got a great atmosphere going, with people dancing and kids with too much candy floss in their systems dancing and running like mad things. My six year old daughter, Maya, had been promised last year that she could sing with the band on her favourite song 'Lollipop' so we decided that this would be the gig. It was lovely having her on stage, and she did brilliantly - she was chuffed to bits and is really proud, especially as she was very nervous beforehand. Thats a really nice pic. Welll done Maya [/quote]
  7. Cold turkey, a couple of days of extreme grumpines and I was cured alright. Been clean for about 8 years now and can't ever imagine smoking again after spending most of my adult life as a serial quitter Go for it and if you fall off the wagon get back on again and you' will stop if you really want to.
  8. Love my sx p bass bought from WHUFC on here a few years ago. a good ash body and ok neck although its now a bit of a trigger's broom: wizard pickup,gotoh hardware and cts pots. Ive also added a mighty mite fender licenced neck and its really good and still has only cost me less than £200 in total Suggest similar mods to your mm one would work really well
  9. [quote name='dand666' timestamp='1409602263' post='2541464'] Duane was, like many others, ahead of his time. He got the best out of Clapton, if there are a few of you that have not (for some silly reason) checked out the Derek and Dominoes album, do it now. Phenomenal. [/quote] Absolutely
  10. [quote name='dand666' timestamp='1409577998' post='2541053'] Can't get enough of Whipping Post. Too good. [/quote] Me neither The live (filmore east ?) version of Stormy Monday is terrific too! Great band
  11. Lovely bass and great playing. Good luck with the sale.
  12. These are different to the one I have Mines the later one with 4 knobs
  13. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1408736229' post='2533143'] Hi Lonestar There's another TL 5 up for grabs ATMO. Timing is lousy my contract has been put back 2 weeks so I should be curtailing bass buys. If you're stuck for parts in future try over on TB, a lot of Peavey owners there strangely not so staunch MIA as owners of some other brands. Sure someone there could help locate parts. [/quote] Thanks mate.
  14. Great band I wish I was going. Watched the Kate Bush biog and kate at the BBBC last night on BBC4. Brilliant
  15. [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1407785476' post='2524050'] Lonestar that was a great deal for the Landers. You're right about buyers AT I counted only 10 items with bids tonight out of 50 lots. [/quote] Sure was for a US made signature bass. Had a reall problem trying to source replacement stacked pots though. Even Peavey USA couldn't find one.
  16. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1407932608' post='2525435'] Not much you can do about poor time. It would be a deal breaker for me. [/quote] Me too. Id be looking for a new gig straight away. Everyone should be responsible for their own timekeeping to some degree although I find it's always best blame drummer if things go awry.
  17. [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1406924656' post='2516019'] Anything by snow patrol or coldplay, boring. [/quote] Oh god no I don't think that I can think of a worse couple of artists to cover. I've had a big falling out with a guitard in a previous band after refusing to play anything by Coldplay.
  18. I bought my peavey tim landers signature bass on fleabay a few years ago for £323 . There were no other bidders
  19. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1407153943' post='2517798'] We play Dakota sometimes. I just use two alternating fingers and it works fine. [/quote] Me too although I always end up using fingers 1 and 3 on 8th lines like this
  20. Hot and sweaty but a great gig depping for my old band in a huge marquee at a very fancy schmancy Birthday party in Essex Nice people and Lovely food too
  21. Familial duties prevent me attending unfortunately but have a great day
  22. Ive played this far too many times in a previous band and have never really liked it much. Somhappy never to play it again
  23. Heres a nice one of mr Hetfield http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/photo-of-james-hetfield-and-metallica-james-hetfield-news-photo/84895491
  24. Sorry about the multiple posts ipad gone nuts
  25. [quote name='merello' timestamp='1403992823' post='2488442'] Trujillo is an absolute monster on the bass. [/quote] Silly haircut though I photographed metallica at Donnington in the '80s; they were very good http://assets-s3.rollingstone.com/assets/images/gallery/500x595/64b01bc2a348ac397e1685dbba2340ed31e6c23d.jpg
