Great stuff. Glad you got sorted. I'll have a nosey at your website. The offer still stands regarding depping if you need a guy up north. All the best, Pete.

Yeah, same here.......from a lifelong Jam fan. Shame you're not "oop North", but if you need a dep for any up here and I'm not working, give me a PM. Cheers, Pete.

Hey there Geoff. Good stuff on your myspace page. Can definitely hear a "Finn" influence there (a good thing in my opinion ) I take your bass now has four strings? All the best, Pete.

We're selling our rig, and our singer has already advertised it on eBay before I had a chance to offer it on here. So anyway, here's the link [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HK-Audio-Deacon_W0QQitemZ180366329363QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConElec_SpeakersPASystems_RL?hash=item29feabc613&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1683|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50"]HK Audio Deacon[/url]. It's a fantastic PA, but we're all getting on a bit now and our backs aren't what they used to be If anyone's seriously interested, PM me.

Could be that you're not releasing your thumb from the string quick enough, therefore creating a harmonic with your thumb. As Steve has said, a video might be a better way to look at your technique. That being said, like any other technique, patience is the key. Keep at it, and it will improve.

Welcome to the bass.....great choice. Welcome to Basschat....very wise choice. As a fellow EBS owner......excellent choice.

Alright there Mike. Wise choice taking up the bass. Here's hoping you're still as loving of it 30 years on. All the best, Pete.

Never used to like singlecut designs myself either, but over time they've really grown on me. Not all, just some. I think I may have "bass goggles" on.

I've always loved Groove Line A cover version was done by The Questions on Paul Weller's "Respond" record label after The Jam split, which is how I got into the record to start with. Tidy little band, shame nothing really came of the band, although the singer (Paul Barry) has had a fair deal to do with writing major hits for others....e.g. Cher's "Believe", Enrique Inglesias' "Hero".

Nice one Geoff. The Sadowsky should sound luuurrrrrrverly.

In that bracket, I don't think you can go wrong with a G&L Tribute L-2000. Great variety of sounds for very little moolah.

"Fascination" by Human League. Couldn't abide them, but for some reason, the sound of the bass and the simplicity of the line really grew on me.

[quote name='BassLand' post='504948' date='Jun 3 2009, 07:10 PM']This should be a great movie for bassists [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVlzykfuu-0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVlzykfuu-0[/url][/quote] Good shout. One to watch out for.

Sounds good to me. PM details please. Cheers, Pete.

Woo hoo.....I share my birthday with Stanley Clarke. Not bad considering my surname's Clark, and my mum's maiden name is Clarke. Then again, I also share my birthday with Mike Tyson......so......ah stuff it.

Yeah, I've heard it's a common problem with Warwicks. I've heard a solution is to replace the input jack with a Switchcraft one as they're supposed to be excellent quality.

I listened to the first two and yeah, really enjoyed the playing and tone on them. I can understand what you mean about people being put off by the Christian theme. Personally, it's not my scene, but I do think the Yanks really do know how to do Gospel etc. so much better than we do. Everybody from the musicians to the choir, the preacher to the congregation. They all completely immerse themselves in it. When I see anything in the UK, it all looks a bit stilted, almost as if they're meant to look like they're really into it, yet at the same time still being a bit reserved as if clapping hands or holding their arms in the air is enough.

Thanks.Except it was the [url="http://www.last.fm/music/Pete+Wingfield/_/18+With+A+Bullet"]Pete Wingfield original[/url]. I think I must have imagined the modern production and the warbly vocal, unless there's a backing singer who kicks in at the end. Could have been heatstroke...[/quote] Nice one. Another satisfied customer

Don't think the Last FM link worked properly. The video link does anyway.
