The Pink Panther by The Pink Panther. Not the outro with the car ..

add 3 = 1707

If you want a passive 4 string workhorse for gigging then Im not sure. I really think my MIJ 75RI would tale some beating. Saying that I would like to play a top notch Lakland. I personally doubt whether a boutique bass would impact on my needs.

"Invisible lead soup" and "Geddy Lee". I know exactly where you are coming from ... I always thought "Joss Aklands Spunky Backpack" would be a good name for a band.

[quote name='SS73' post='520743' date='Jun 22 2009, 01:55 PM']Ok, this is what I have heard about Geddy's Jazz, the original Bass he uses has a bridge pup that is breaking down, some of the lower freq are being cut due to this, so very similar to a 4001 but this has a capacitor to get the same effect and why he liked that particular Jazz over other basses. I am not sure if the reissue designers were aware of this when they started to produce the Geddy Jazz, if they were, there will be a cap in between the pup and the jack or they may have modded the pup's internally. Aggressive, possibly but certainly more gritty like a 4001, if they have made them to sound like Geddy's original.[/quote] Yes I remember this now. The dodgy electronics give him that sound like the Rick. I don't think the re issue emmulates this ???

[quote name='spongebob' post='520704' date='Jun 22 2009, 01:13 PM']I think that the Geddy is actually closer to the heart rather than the bridge! [/quote] There was "no one at the bridge." (obscure Rush reference from a Rush nerd) Geddy Lee is a very aggressive player. Infact on Moving Pictures where his Jazz and Ricky were both used in recording they sound like the same bass to me and I wouldn't have even known his Jazz was used if I hadn't read about it years later. I don't think the spacing would make a fat lot of difference.

Ikea have also been responsible for putting Wednesbury on "the map." Not sure what I mean by that though?

The problem is you will also leave with an industrial amount of tea lights, a toast rack and some of those plastic wedge things that maintain the shape of your shoes when you are not wearing them.

Excellent ..... Im a big Jap Fender fan.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Norm a few times. The first time at considerable length with the chance to share a few beers with. The bloke is an absolute gent and a really good story teller and laugh. We never mentioned bass playing once.

[quote name='Geddys nose' post='496169' date='May 23 2009, 05:40 PM']'Too Shy' by Kajagoogoo is pretty bad then and now.[/quote] The band I play in are doing our utmost to avoid supporting them when they come to Wolverhampton. I promise to be strong.

I think Im ditching my pedals and going bareback ... I'll keep you all posted

The drummer died in a car crash. I used to work with his dad. So ends my knowledge of The Wonderstuff.

looks very nice!

[quote name='OldGit' post='494119' date='May 21 2009, 12:13 PM']Whole different ball game .....[/quote] We had a rare rehearsal last week to dot the i's and cross the t's on a few new songs to revamp our wedding sets. I don't know if I could gig week in week out with an acoustic kit behind me again after all these years. Even the good ones in a practice situation sound like a load of old dustbin lids to me. Perhaps Im spoilt or a philistine or both?

I love EB slinkies. I prefer them when they are a few gigs old and not too bright, but that's just me.

I've tried a few of Paul H's SX's and they are shockingly good.
