  1. Andy.....Andy.....Andy......

    Why do this to me????

    As I've mentioned once or twice before, I was in Bernie's basement the day before you collected it, and he played it through the rig that I eventually walked out of the shop with. It sounds absolutely stunning!!!

    Right.......I'm off down to hell to sell my soul to the devil.....I'll be back (hopefully)!!

  2. I have a Stingray 4 as my main bass, and I play everything from rock (both fingers and plectrum) to soul to slap and it does them all. So I would imagine a 5 string Stingray would be great.

    I also have a G&L L-2500 Tribute and they can get you sounds from Precision to Jazz to Musicman all from one bass at half the price of the Stingray, but for more than half the quality.

    So it depends on what your budget it, but I would urge you to try both.

  3. Enjoyed the track. I always did like Art of Noise considering they were predominantly an "keyboard/samples" type of band.

    That performance was hardly the most exhilarating though. Lacklustre at best.

  4. I used to play Broken Wings in a band many years ago. Played it with an Octaver, did all the drum and hand clap bits inbetween lines with my mouth, and sang the really high bit too. God did I have my work cut out!

    Sorry, but the misspelling in this just made me laugh.....

    "Can I join your band?"

    "[i]Yes, you're in[/i]"

    "Well, you can bugger off, how dare you ask me to join"

    etc. etc.

    sometimes i cant see wood fo trees[/quote]
    Sir Duke definitely does it for me.

    I know everyone brings up James Jamerson, but "Darling Dear" by The Jacksons is just majestic. Good luck nailing that one.

  7. [quote name='Chris2112' post='535008' date='Jul 7 2009, 06:43 PM']Tony is one of my favourite players, I bet that was a bass with some magic in it...[/quote]
    Yeah, I loved it, but traded it against a Yamaha BB1100S (got giddy cos it was active).

    Loved both those basses actually, wish I still had them both.

    The SB-R80 wasn't Tony's main bass obviously, but I did used to have a photo in a bass mag of him playing it.
