I reckon you've knocked it out of the park with your first post Telebass.

Mix up the chromatic passing notes so that you play above or below the 'target' note. For example a turnaround using G E A and D could be played with passing notes as Ab G F E Bb A Eb D and then next time round G# G Eb E Bb A C#D and then you can swap the passing notes around however you want. You can also often use 2 steps instead of chromatic passes.

Saw them in (probably) 78 supported by Graham Parker and The Rumour at Brunel University. Absolute monster of a gig with Robertson, Gorham and Downey. Made me want to play live music even more than I already did. I remember watching Phil Lynott doing his thing with his P bass and thinking 'I fancy some of THAT!'

Fender Deluxe Precision Special, Surf Pearl (SOLD)

Lovely. Have a bump. -
I've always tuned low to high on the assumption that the heavier strings have more pull on the neck and therefore are more likely to have an effect on the other strings, so get them done first. Makes sense to me but I'm ready to be shot down in flames.

PM's answered. Pics added. -
There are artists who have passed me by for the simple reason that I wouldn't know where to start, Ry Cooder is a prime example. Others I've heard a bit and didn't like (e.g.Bob Dylan, Miles Davis). There are other artists who blow hot and cold for me but I do listen to the stuff that I like and filter out the rest, like Jeff Beck, who i think is a genius who often pushes the envelope a bit too far for me.

Don't get me started on her. The only 'interviewer' I know (i use the term loosly) who asks a guest a question and then shrieks over their answer to express her own half baked opinion.

My Mrs has radio 2 set on the alarm and whilst I can safely say that Evans blabbering on first thing in the morning was akin to torture for me, listening to Zoe Ball makes me want to throw myself out of the bedroom window. My God she spout some rubbish.

Ed Sheeran seems to have done OK via the BBC without the 'grime' connection or troubled past (although I think he may have referenced nicking a bottle of his Mum's sherry in one of his songs).

The Waterfront by Simple Minds 🙂

No idea why I bothered reading that since these 'best' lists are always utter botox.

Broughton High Pass Filter now SOLD.

I recently discovered that when an Ebay item's location is advertised as 'Middlesex', that is actually Middlesex - half way up the Yangtze river.

The perfect example of 'Be careful what you wish for'.

Modern compact cab recommendations or an old Trace Head
Japhet replied to The Twickerman's topic in Amps and Cabs
I used a Genz Neox 2x12 for some time with a Streamliner head when I swapped from a Trace SMX amp and cabs and it sounded really good and not dissimilar. There's one in the F/S section you could check out as well. Really good bit of kit. -
It definitely catches up on you as the years roll by. It never used to bother me one jot if we played a lot of gigs with late nights and long journeys but it isn't like that any more. I'm not much use the following day now and if it's a ball breaker of a gig it takes me a few days to get over it. No way I'm throwing in the towel though.
-
Don't believe a word of it. I now gig regularly with a Harley Benton bass and a load of cheapo pedals and it all works and sounds just fine and dandy.
-
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Now I can't unsee any of that.
-
I use Diago Patchfactory. Not had a single problem with them. I bought a cheapo solderless kit off ebay which was complete garbage and went in the bin. If I can I use straight cable-less connectors from pedal to pedal.

Some basses don't lend themselves to wall hangers. Obviously headless basses, but Telebasses aren't a good idea either with the thin headstock. The cut of the headstock can also make the bass want to hang to one side.

Everybody has something that pulls their musical puke trigger. For me it's the pseudo operatic wailing of Bruce Dickinson and the like.
