Went along yesterday, very interesting way to spend a couple of hours if you are anywhere near the O2 in London, the guy putting on the Show, Pete Emmett, used to be a neighbour of Phils and is an absolute wealth of info, and full of the Blarney lol. He wouldn't let me play the P so had to make do with Air Bass in front of THE sign!

I'm like Phil above, started playing (mid life crisis, bass or a motobike...music seemed safer!), answered an ad after about 3 months noodling in bedroom, band gave me 3 songs to learn,, we jammed em, I was in. 1st gig about 6 weeks later, with 4 original songs too. 10 years later I'm still learning, still loving every minute of it. get out there and scare yerself trying, the adreneline rush is huuuuge!

LMAO!! Sorry I couldn't resist!

Hmm must sort a pic out soonest, I love that tee you were wearing Blue, not seen that design before. Lefty is that a bass or a necklace you are wearing?

Break the proverbial! and have fun

Woohoo! thats my friday night sorted then!! I might have to do the youtube thing too

Blimey...just up the road..might pop along

Baboom tish! We are here all week folks!

I think the current issue, with Dave Ellefson, was the last of my current subscription, was in 2 minds anyway about renewing. Mind Def made up now! Ah well...moving on....anyone got any good cat pics?........oh ...wait....wrong thread

Yay I thought I was going gaga when I read that yesterday, it seems I ain't the only pedantic bugger round here And no it was an advert for a new Squier telebass I think. Thankfully the picture of said Bass had the spelling right on the headstock!!!!

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1331320409' post='1571477'] Someone was using this in the 70s: [/quote] No else thought this?.......*Oooh a Stak Stack*!!!!!! No? just me then

H H for sure, I think a guitarist friend of mine still has one

I kinda like it, always loved the ric..thanks to Chris Squire...until I played one..ugh! This however has a certain something......Would I buy one? not at the moment, got my new EB3 to play with

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1330874507' post='1564155'] Most random thing happened afterwards though. Just drove back to have lunch in Marlow with my BC book keeper Dave and we were spotted by a BCer who was in Pizza Express for his sisters birthday. I'm really sorry I have forgotten your username but it was great of you to come and say Hi! Give me a shout if it was you and I'll send you a present. [/quote] My name is Oopsy and I claim my 5 pounds...now...where is Marlow again?

was gonna say lazy git, but plays live...then saw thats the most popular choice right now and thought I'd better keep quiet!........erm ....wait.......did I type that out loud?

[quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1330798397' post='1563219'] Well they nicked it from Floyd - that's what they did on the recording [/quote] Yup Saw Waters doing it in Hyde park a coupla years back on his solo tour. Gooood gig, got some REALLY dodgy video of me and me mates singing along to Wisha somewhere

[quote name='jonthebass' timestamp='1330771080' post='1562688'] Er, Nice bass but a slight hijack here - I have an [i]almost[/i] identical Bravewood available FS at just over a third of the price of that! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/154505-fs-bravewood-50s-p-bass-custom-ordered/"]http://basschat.co.u...custom-ordered/[/url] [/quote] Now then..THATS a nice bass, none of that 'relicing' malarky that totally shagged the Dusty Hill one

Smoooooth! Some buggers nicked yer headstock though
