Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves - Cher

Baby It's Colditzside - Tom Jones/ Cerys Matthews

Picked one of these up recently. Gigged it last night and liked it. Pros and cons with the size - It's tiny (but packs a big punch) so takes up hardly any room, but no chance of adjusting anything on the fly unless you have the eyesight of a Peregrin Falcon. Nice little pedal though.

I use the one I'm not standing on.

Breakdown - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Teal Green Musicman Stingray 4 with 3 knobs. Bought it new in about 94. Now has a John East preamp in it. I stopped gigging it a few years ago after an 'incident'. We were playing a private party and had a break outside. When I went back in some pi55ed up woman was dancing about swinging it around her neck on the strap. I was so effing livid I don't know how I didn't lamp her. Decided there and then to take cheaper stuff to gigs if that's how people want to behave.

Ruby Tuesday - Stones

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull

Wipeout! - The Beach Boys

I'm in the same sort of situation. Probably moving house fairly soon and one of the bands I'm in is fizzling out anyway. The other band never rehearses and it's not too far away for me to make the effort for that one because we earn decent money. I'll be checking out the local music scene though to see if anything piques my interest. If not I'm happy to back off a bit. I've had a good run.

Like A Hurricane - Neil Young

Heart & Seoul - T'Pau

Fade to Grey - Visage

I'd go straight for a Fender Rumble 800 or 500 combo. Job done.

There's a whole thread on Short Scale basses. Loads of people love 'em and probably a lot more would if they tried them. I suspect most of the criticism comes from people who've never played one.

Loving this right now. Mollie Marriott (Daughter of Stevie Marriott). She's got a great voice, just like her Dad. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. Song is by the recently departed Karl Wallinger (World Party) and I find myself agreeing with the lyrics.

I'd have had a 550 in a heartbeat but they're few and far between now. The 800 is fabulous but it's a heavy old lump.

Trump! - Van Halen

Comb On Over to My Place - The Drifters

Rattan the Kitchen - UB40
