He threw the wads of cash on the floor as he quffed, snorted and laughed so hard his top hat went slanted and his monacle fell from his eye whilst shouting "pick up my pocket change you pauper!".
His friends from the hunting and polo club all pointed at me and joined in the abuse. "a man with out the finest silks, glutenist feasts and a hagard wench on his arm is not a man in my eyes" they taunted. "a land owner he is not, thereofre i shall take as a please and return nothing" another added. A dark December day that'll hang heavey in my heart for ever more.
However the peasant revolt is nigh......


so i suppose yes is what i am getting at.

aged 14/15. church hall, 3 people in the 'crowd', one of them was called Peter, he turned to be a fiddler of kids. Fact.

Stingrays are just amazing basses. I reget getting rid of mine but i needed the money and a certain BCers brother in law really wanted it. I will never own one again* but the tone will live with me forever.


*one can only assume due to a ) being piss poor all the time and b ) being a tight get.

i was in a band once and we where offered money (for a gig we where doing for free) not to play "you guys are my best friends but i really don't want you to spoil my birthday". We where that bad (but we all still claim we where too rock n roll for the people), but we said "f*** you, we're playing" - got pissed, played, worst gig ever.

does that count?

my first without a registered adult person was terrorvision and joy rider....94 (maybe, when eve ythe 'big' album was out just before the whales and dolphins album), at Bratford st Georges Hall. Got 2 plectrums and a snog*.

*seperate incidents.

[quote name='TheRev' post='667102' date='Nov 27 2009, 09:40 AM']Another big fan of Jeff's here!

I bought a fretless bass purely because of Jeff's fretless bass parts on Ten and Vs and [b]even ended up in [size=3]PJ tribute act at one point[/b][/size]

Great player and great fretless tone.[/quote]

i like you.

[quote name='Sean' post='666264' date='Nov 26 2009, 02:31 PM']Jeff is a great band bassist and brilliant all round muso. He seems to vary songs from time to time live and try new ways of playing old stuff. His sound is perfect for the band and he seems to have a revolving door of about a dozen of so basses [b]but seems to have played a P throughout the new album[/b]. I reckon his playing has improved and grown every tour and he seems much tighter with Matt Cameron than he did with any of the other drummers. I've been a huge fan since Vitalogy and listen to nothing but PJ Official bootlegs when at the gym. [/quote]
very true. liner notes to backspacer "Jeff - p bass" or something

thatks uber pro, now i am an uber nerd.[/b]

i am a pearl jam nut and picked up bass mainly beacuase of Jeff. absolute legend for me. can't say enough about him, outstanding live, sometimes flashy and clever sometimes simple. Later stuff is stripped right down.

yes Jeff yes.

when i first heard about them it made me cringe. another over hyped super group of elite rock stars. however i was pleased to hear them, not great but not bad. not bad at all.

too much focus on what to play. just play, it'll work out teruer that way.

p.s. against all authority

i am off to find something to sell......

my car? no dont be silly then i couldn't get to the pub.

ahhh, the wife!

I'm sure someone would make you up a lead if you don't want to do it yourself.[/quote]

brill cheers.

anybody make me a lead?

I' feeling a bit off cock today so decided to take apart my Laney RB7 and turn it into a monitor style extension cab for my ampeg set up, nice. I've done the math and thing ohm and wattage is all good (if it's not this may be my last post!) As i am a techno-tard i'm trying to work out how to get is from the speakers to the amp.
so...
what are these bits called? (got 4, red and black to one speaker and brown and blue t'other)

also can i purchase a jack to these bits lead thing?

i'm a new fan of the stugff about 2 years now. was that this year in sheffield with the awsomwe Frightened Rabbit?

coz the tone at sheffield this year melted my soul!....that's a good thing.

Just had to give a shout out to Nicholas Harmer. Such a simple but effective bass lines and a killer growl for good measures. If you don't know their stuff then check them out. Even the new the song form a vampire film is good and the bass is awsome.

Nicholas, we salute you!

Brundell ace!

i can't remember..........
