Use it on the phone power supply. Brian

Superb! I really enjoyed that, thanks for posting it

[quote name='KiOgon' post='1072848' date='Dec 30 2010, 04:13 PM']Good luck - oh & I had a Ashdown 5/15 mini rig for a while - how's about a little Trace Elliot Boxer 65? Link in my sig below. Very similar to the 5/15 in terms of performance, smaller & easy to carry/store.[/quote] I'm a bit skint now, but if you still have it at the end of January I may well be interested Brian

I saw this too....... then went and bought an Epiphone Viola for £200 instead

wow I just checked your thread back in June! I would have bought it from you! Still, I am really happy with it. I'm off to get a strap from my local music shop in a minute. I can't wait to gig it now (I love the looks you get when weilding something unusual). Cheers for all your comments Brian

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1072557' date='Dec 30 2010, 10:52 AM']Aye the gibson Jack used was the EB-1 which is approx 2,500 plus change.... The epiphone copy was again the EB-1which is what I finally found after hankering for one for a long long time. However it wasnt with me long and after a few epiphones after that I decided the brand just isnt for me.[/quote] That looks really cool I like them a lot, and perhaps one day I will have enough to buy a real EB-1 Is it the build quality or just the general feel of Epiphones you don't like? Brian

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1072083' date='Dec 29 2010, 08:06 PM']Not a bad price if you'll get some enjoyment out of it.[/quote] After the last two weeks Ive had, just buying it gave massive enjoyment Cheers for all the comments. I really am enjoying playing bass and reading the different threads on this forum. Brian

It was only £200 and its new! Seemed a good deal to me. The chap was very nice, threw in a gig bag. I'm happy

I just can't afford a real one! I played this in the shop and thought "that's for me!"

[quote name='chris_b' post='1072003' date='Dec 29 2010, 07:05 PM']Err, very nice, but did Jack Bruce ever play a violin bass?[/quote] Yes, at the reunion gig at the Royal Albert Hall. Not quite like mine (but close enough for me)!

I went over to PMT in Oxford today. I really wanted a small combo or the Ashdown 5 15 mini rig. Look what I came home with! I am a Jack Bruce fan and have fancied one of these for a while. Since I started playing in earnest this year, the GAS has kicked in! Doing everything on a budget, this fitted the bill.......

you just got to feel for him

[url="http://www.deonestus.com/"]http://www.deonestus.com/[/url] He's still about!

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1070276' date='Dec 27 2010, 05:12 PM']He was good as Lofty in "it ain't half hot mum"[/quote] what more can one say!

[quote name='molan' post='1070117' date='Dec 27 2010, 01:55 PM']I saw Wham's unofficial 'rehearsal' gig at the Brixton Academy for their 'official' last ever gigs at Wembley. Deon E was great, really funky and held the groove together so well. I have to own up that I went to the gig because I got free tickets from Capital Radio & only went because my wife loved Wham - however they were absolutely brilliant, great show & George M can really sing live. Of course Andrew R appeared to do nothing much other than strum a guitar & the odd backing vocal (that's assuming he wa seven plugged in!).[/quote] My wife is also a fan so I have been raiding her CD's to pick out a few tracks to try and jam along to (just don't tell anyone.....)

I was trolling the web looking for some inspiration and discovered Deon Estus. Now putting aside any feelings for Wham etc, his bass lines are really cool. What do you guys think? (of Deon Estus NOT Wham!) Cheers......

Hi Matt I'd just like to say a public thanks for the CD. It looks and sounds really professional. It's on my mp3 player now too! Great job Brian

At least you only have to punch it in once.......

Being fairly new to the Bass, I was looking for some (free) backing tracks. [url="http://www.freejamtracks.com/"]http://www.freejamtracks.com/[/url] This site has some pretty good tracks (79 listed) with key and in some cases chord progressions. Great for beginners like me to improve techniques and practice with a beat! Are there any other sites you would recommend? Cheers Brian

I played guitar at 13, but switched to piano at 15 because of a pretty girl who I was at school with took lessons! I had a big gap of about ten years before I picked up a guitar again (Eric Clapton influences). Another gap, then when I was 40 my wife bought me a guitar and started me down the road again I took up bass this year because of the acoustic duo I play in needed someting else! Just lovin every minute I have a bass in my hand.....

PM'd

Wow, really cool. I would like a CD! Can you make the tracks available for download? Cheers Brian

I love my fretless but would like to put active pickups / circuitry in it

Great song! I just love the fretless sound........
