SuperChango are playing the nextin our series of takeover gigs in Gwdihw, Cardiff. This time we're going a bit Jazz/Funk/Latin/Psychedelic groove crazy, and we have a full choir in, a flashmob of electro-swing dancers and a zoo of neon animals - will be a top night and would LOVE to see some basschatters there! First one to add to this thread gets on the guest list! THIS FRIDAY!

oooo check out the pickups on this! Not sure about the description of a "generally straight neck" though...

Great to see you back on Basschat!

Not really jazz but I love this cover of 'Is This Love?' [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31OJYXW3V5M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31OJYXW3V5M[/url]

[quote name='clauster' timestamp='1381496562' post='2239874'] Run Leia Run played the Grosvenor in Stockwell last night. Our first outing there and they head us headlining. In true headline act style-ee we managed to be an hour late for our soundcheck (work and South London Traffic got in the way as well as the guitarist doubling back when he realised he'd left the oven at home ). [/quote] I'd love to know how your guitarist uses an oven live!

LOVE this tune! Thanks for putting it up, I was just deciding the set for our 'phreak out' gig next month - this is going to be in it!

The headstock makes me think of these guys:

it's had quote a bit of work on it but still pretty tasty! One for BigRedX? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Greco-Atlansia-4String-Bass-Made-in-Japan-/251355508159"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Greco-Atlansia-4String-Bass-Made-in-Japan-/251355508159[/url]

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1381447223' post='2239425'] Apparently not the charming suburb of Cardiff. [/quote] Or the small town in Shropshire.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1381444039' post='2239385'] My current drummer (and a bloody good one too) is a 25 year old female - infinitely more huggable than all of the tub thumping Neanderthals I've had the misfortune to play with over the years..... [/quote] Is that Rhi?

Which Whitchurch?

...cos I don't think I could! What a job the bass player has in this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T39ZaFT1kA0

[quote name='dougal' timestamp='1380873412' post='2231665'] Personally I've gone the other route: a small USB audio interface into the laptop. Means the bass sound is raw, but you can, if you've got time, work out how to pipe it through a VST or two. They've dropped in price since the early days. I can't comment on quality, but this seems like pretty good value: [url="http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/behringer-guitar-link-ucg102-guitar-to-usb-interface--38128"]http://www.dv247.com...nterface--38128[/url] You can then also record what you're playing if you want. [/quote] +1 This is how I do silent practice.

The quality of puns here has diminished.

[quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1379680975' post='2215645'] Hmmm.... So natural and matched are level pegging at this point...... I think they're better than the black, with natural still just edging it I think (which was my original choice before the doubts (and price) crept in!) Although the more I look at the black, it ain't too bad. Currently awaiting news from Sandberg on how exactly it costs them more to produce a natural headstocked version........ [/quote] I've just put the matched ahead sorry! It may be that they've got necks already made up with black headstocks that they're trying to get rid of.

[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1379590992' post='2214485'] Because all Westones do go for very little, these days ! They are all hugely undervalued IMO. The fact that you can buy a used THunder 1A for the same price as a used Squier Affinity is just laughable IMO. The quality is in different universes. And, yes, your point is still valid, I do not know this seller's reserve but my guess is that it's not exactly a fortune. [/quote] Shhhh! Don't tell everyone or the price will go up!

[quote name='mikey_reed' timestamp='1379258759' post='2210438'] Hi I've just spotted your add. I am a 27 (nearly 28 year old bassist) with BVs looking for Middle East work.

Doing touring theatre shows, cruise ships Middle East hotels and all the rest.
