Amazing groove and such economy of movement, one of my very favourite players.

[size=4]The venue has a restaurant next door so we were meant to soundcheck before 6pm[/size] and then go on stage at 11pm. Didn't really get the chance to do that so we went on stage 'blind' and gave the soundman some hints as we went along. Anyway, the crowd were AMAZING. There were a load of BBoys and Girls in the audience and they started a battlewhen we played 'it's Juts begun', then someone started some social dancing and the whole crowd (of about 150) were doing one massive synchronised dance! And then there was the soul train... I love this band!

What a great thread! I play almost exclusively Matsumoku basses, here's mine: SB-R60 [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/Aria4.jpg[/IMG] Thunder II [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/ThunderII9.jpg[/IMG] Slightly butchered TSB-400 [IMG]http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/chaylockyer/IMG_0739.jpg[/IMG]

I'm too far away but if you play nearer Cardiff I'm there!

Such a shame I couldn't make this one! Who brought the Kramers?

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1363651766' post='2015454'] I wonder what he thinks of this? [/quote] He'll be down on us like a ton of bricks now!

We are playing upstairs in Dempsey's on the 21st March - would be super duper to see some Cardiff Basschatters there. Come along or I'll set xilddx on yer! [size=4] [/size] [size=4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HwEPdQWM0E[/size]

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1363077859' post='2007838'] I have one on my desk - even better with a cork backing, the words FLEXIBLE and NON-SLIP highlighted (low lighted?) and made by Helix. I had no idea it was so valuable. [/quote] Cork backing? More of a Motown sound than 80's hi-fi then.

Is this a late 70's model or a cheap copy? What do the experts out there think? http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/steel-rule/1011958819 [size=4] [/size]

I wonder how long they'll let him troll for?

Played in Gwdihw on Saturday as part of the always excellent Fat City night. What a gig! The crowd were AMAZING. At the beginning of 'Expansions' by Lonnie Liston Smith they cheered the bassline! When does that ever happen? Only posting now 'cos the partying when on all through Sunday! Still got a massive grin on my face The (almost) full set has been uploaded here: [url="https://soundcloud.com/superchangouk/sets/fat-city-night-gwdihw-09-02"]https://soundcloud.c...ht-gwdihw-09-02[/url] Pics to follow!

I recorded our set from Saturday night using a H4n recorder, did a small amount of EQing and compression in Audition and uploaded to soundcloud. Let me know what you think could be better performance and recording-wise and what you like. Thanks! https://soundcloud.com/superchangouk/sets/fat-city-night-gwdihw-09-02

Here's the sounds from that gig - let me know what y'all think..... https://soundcloud.com/superchangouk/sets/fat-city-night-gwdihw-09-02

Who's coming?

I normally write the songs and start with the bassline anyway, so it's the others that have to do the work fitting around that!

[quote name='megallica' timestamp='1360236520' post='1967062'] Do you remember what model Ibanez it was? [/quote] Roadstar - pretty sure it was a Roadstar II rather than a Road[i]ster [/i]or I would've been after it.
