It’s not just rosewood, I had to apply for some kind of licence when I bought a Gibson sg from Texas, they said the dot markers on the neck were mother of pearl , even after proving they were synthetic I still got stung for the licence, about £100 .

Agreed to some extent, this does work a bit quicker, well it will once I get my fingers up to speed! But we do tend to play most things faster than the original, it’s part of the band in many ways. Mostly it’s just a bit quicker but we are trying to work this one into a medley, if it doesn’t end up working we will bin it but I want to give it every chance first.

! But we do tend to play most things faster than the original,

yea I’ve got a drummer like that also.

New bass day, been after one for a while but couldn’t find the one I wanted... til now

That is stunning

The Damned at the Foum London, I see them last Tuesday in Folkestone, so good I've got to go again

This is not the correct forum to tell any of my stories about Dave Hill from Slade II.
Bloody prat.

Ha ha, we supported Slade quite a few times, I know where you’re coming from

Indeed, it's nice if it sounds good on-stage, but as long as FOH sounds good, all that really matters is you can hear yourself..

I tend to play 100% better if I have a good onstage sound 

Years ago I was told by the cokeheaded guitarist.. “ it don’t effing matter if they can’t hear you out front, bass players are a waste of space”.. oh yea and that was my last gig with his band.

It is the bitchiest business to be in.. believe me..

The Damned at Folkestone Leas Cliff, they’ve recruited the mighty Paul Gray back in for bass duties, listen to the black album there’s some great playing on that.

Tell me more about the red P Bass Tom 

Ric 4003s is my main bass at the mo, I take a US or Jap p bass with me also as it’s the law, left handed.

my only amp set up is a Markbass Cmd 1x12 combo with an Aguilar 1x12 cab (heavy) sat underneath it, I’ve also been using a tech21 vt bass driver that I’ve decided that I don’t need anymore

It sold before I could even go and look at it, sadly. 

That’s a shame mate, it actually looked genuine To me

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a lefty fender mustang?

never noticed that before, but yeah live vocals, I reckon or bloody good miming which, judging by the way they're 'playing' their instruments wouldn't happen

Vocals sound completely different to the single

This one?

 

The vocals sound live on this 

Blimey that’s incredible... I can hear where Neil Peart gets it from

Having the time of their lives by the look of it.

Haven't seen that before. Absolutely priceless.

There's another one somewhere where they swap instruments... I'll try and find and upload it

Did someone mention bad miming?

There is a " Craig Bennett " on Facebook group " Bass Players Buy - Sell - Swap - UK only " offering a SWB-1 for £100.00  He also has a Red Modern player Short scale Bass for £100.00 and says collect only Central London!

Look very suspicious!

Will.

I was just looking at this and thought the same

I’ve broke loads of em, not so much recently as my amp has lots of power so I don’t need to dig in so hard,I broke the E string on my mm Stingray, moved over to the A string and broke that as well, had to quickly swap over to my spare mid song as I was totally lost.. beat that then, 2 strings same gig, same bass, same song..

73%, I must be a guitarist.

Wahaay.. I know you didn't wanna see this pic but it's the first pic I've ever (been able to)post on the mobile basschat
