  1. Lovely! I need the room...
  2. Sometimes he gives lessons when the gig diary is looking a little thin.
  3. Or Armstrong - they will do custom wounds also.
  4. [quote name='40hz' timestamp='1419431818' post='2639904'] I used to love Jamiroquai but after Synkronized the band ceases to exist for me. That marks the point his ego went through the roof. It's quite funny to see how successful they were, that style of music wouldn't even get within a million miles of the charts today (not that the charts mean anything anymore) yet, Stuart Zender made me pick up bass so I'll always have a soft spot for them. I always felt sorry for Nick, such a great bass player and a seemingly top bloke. He was always on a hiding to nothing following Stuart and given that Jay Kay became more controlling and egotistical over the bands songs, I think he did well to last as long as he did. [/quote] A few years back we used to chat on Facebook while he was immobilised after a skiing accident. Nick left the band for a very specific reason that I can't go into on here.
  5. Nick Fyffe had at least two Zon Sonus 5/1's that I know of - a white on and the one in the vid above. I like Jamiroquai but the band never seem to smile or have much fun on stage.
  6. There could be a whole load of reasons including a problem with the desk, a problem with the amp, a problem with the DI socket. A bit more elimination is needed before you're likely to get a helpful response on here. Borrow a DI though and see how you go. Play the bass direct through the box as well as plugging a feed in.
  7. [quote name='P-ZARN' timestamp='1419202340' post='2637630'] Thought it might be time to show the current collection [attachment=179094:IMG_0064.JPG] From left to right Kramer era NS2 SSD era NS4 NS5LX Euro5 [/quote] Did you buy the 5XL off here a while back?
  8. [quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1419320376' post='2638625'] Mmmm. what necks are these? [/quote] Gaze apon my signature and all may be revealed... [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1419323079' post='2638657'] Dog skint at the moment pal, and will be until March!! Your necks were the inspiration, I'm not sure I'll be able to afford one. Just want to get the body ready first and then I'll scour the market for one [/quote] In this kind of build, the body is the element that everything else is attached to. Generally its a better idea to assemble everything else and then build the body.
  9. Two necks left if you're interested in purchasing one, Alex.
  10. The pickups I had custom wound add extra low emphasis below 50hz. It's an absolute peach of an instrument. I was planning to post some clips after Christmas was out of the way.
  11. Damn, what a shame...noone will ever fill his shoes.
  12. Fingers still crossed!
  13. Humpty bumpty - will take £1000.
  14. Humpty bumpty - will take £400 a cab excl shipping
  15. Humpty bumpty - last time.
  16. Humpty bumpty
  17. Humpty bumpty...I'll consider reasonable offers.
  18. Lovely looking instrument...GLWTS
  19. You can upload images to your messages as well as your posts...or at least I can.
  20. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1418945345' post='2635204'] Sorry for the old guy rant, but these facts are tough to argue. [/quote] Not facts, just an overwhelming majority of opinion...which won't be around for ever...
  21. Reference to Rock n Roll history is interesting. Each of us might have a different take on that. Significance for my generation is largely being overlooked (still) by our baby boomer parents through sheer numbers and control of the media as much as anything. These days when I hear a reference to the songs that defined my childhood, a small part of me cheers. Beach Boys, Beatles etc. are all very well but they're not really a part of my upbringing even though I respect their status as classic bands. Disco rules, it defined my childhood and still defines my tastes.
  22. What I like so much about it that its a very accessible style but there are still nuances to seek out once the basics are understood.
