Argus is one of the few 70's albums that I still regularly play. I have the special editiion, with bonus tracks on my i pod. Crackin' bass playing and sound throughout.

Totally concur with John . Paddy is a fine bass chatter to deal with. I've just taken delivery of an extremely well packed P bass body. Highly recommended.

I had the humiliation of cocking up Sex on Fire last night,had serious timing issues. No decent excuse just mental fatigue at the end of set three. Also played a few bars of Johnie B Good a semi tone up Both simple numbers that I've played countless times without incident. Also both are numbers that I hate playing I woke up a few times during the night berating myself and worrying about it. Maybe instead I should congratulate myself on the other thirty eight numbers that I played perfectly well. Think we tend to do this, give ourselves a hard time and forget the good work. Let's hope your next gig is a good one

They are on Lemon rock and I'm sure it says Stevenage.

No idea mate, looks good though. Why not message them?

[quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1347447610' post='1800845'] BTW, If you live anywhere near Herts, Beds or Bucks, they could be playing at a pub near you soon!!! [/quote] This was why I asked you to pm me their name, so that I could avoid the trauma of seeing them or getting fooled in to auditioning for them

Well done the Brig and welcome to the world of the delusionals . I've come to realise over the last few years that they are quite a common beast. On the plus side, you've learnt a whole load of new tunes and at least know that you can come up with the goods at short notice. Can't believe you also had to pay. Given that we are in the same neck of the woods, please pm me their name, so that I don't fall in to their trap.

Whether I did them quickly or otherwise, they would notice, Not just because my singing voice is hideous but there would also be no bass as I can't multi task .

Hi Moosh. I almost fit the bill apart from the backing vocals . I know a fair bit of the set and like most of it. Best of luck with your move and finding a suitable replacement.

But last time I attempted to use them to courier a bass, they refused to insure.

Welcome back. Unlike you, for the past year or so I've been on here everyday. (Must get out more)

You'd think that given how diificult things have been in recent years for most small businesses, that he would do everything possible to make a new customer happy. Is Stevenage in Herts too far from your neck of the woods? There is a very good chap over there.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1347006495' post='1795816'] OK I think this is getting a bit out of hand. I appreciate you just want some help, and lots of people are chipping in and trying to help, but perhaps it is not the help that you need. Wishface, it seems the two issues at play (besides the cheapness of the bass) are that you don't have the money to get this sorted by somebody else, and you don't have the knowledge/time to sort it yourself, is that right? It looks like the thing to try at this stage is a new set of strings before we go any further, its a simple job to replace the strings, but as you say you can't afford them. PM me your address Wishface (click on my name and send me a private message), I will send you a brand new set of Rotosound strings I have here on the shelf. That way, you can rule out the strings being the issue and we can go from there, step by step until we help you get your bass working the way you want it. Trust us when we say you CAN approximate a silk purse out of a sow's ear with the right knowledge and tools, and we are all here to help you do that, really. [/quote] What a fine chap, good on yer

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1346934526' post='1794978'] Looks like an adjustable spanner [/quote] If Fred Flintstone were to be depicted with a bass, this would be exactly right

I think Bedouin Soundclash are Canadian, their bass player gets a decent groove going

When I've been in your situation, I've asked them what they require/would like. Best of luck with it.

Yep, what Lozz said
