The memory of moshing to this live in 1999 will stay with me forever. Simply amazing.

Awreety awrighty!

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1507578824' post='3386547'] Hmmm...who would you rate as being a good female slapper? [/quote] Kim Clarke - Defunkt Check out their 1982 album, Thermonuclear Sweat. I love slap and I prefer the hard hitters; Larry Graham, Prince, Flea, Louis Johnson. Not keen on the short strap, bass under the chin typewritery machine gun stuff! I know Sly Stone was talking about sing-alongs but what he said describes how I feel about slap bass; [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]"Now a lot of people don't like to do it, because they feel it might be old fashion. But you must dig that it is not a fashion in the first place, it is a feeling. And if it was good in the past, it's still good".[/font][/color]

[quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1507093976' post='3383227'] Tim smith. [/quote] I was going to suggest Jon Poole. I know the solo to Fiery Gun Hand is the result of some clever editing but his interpretation live was stunning.

Pearl Jam - what beige sounds like.

Prince - Kiss A hit. A solo. Played by Wendy Melvoin.

No Problem T-Bay, happy to help.

I've had my 1974 Fender Jazz since 1993. I thought it was old when I got it!

Shocked and saddened. One of my all time favourites. Saw Soundgarden too few times, from Shepherds Bush in 1994 to Hyde Park just a few years ago, but they were gigs I won't forget. Was listening to Superunknown last night. Head down.

Got in from work today. A red Royal Mail "Sorry we missed you" card was on the floor. The card said my parcel could be collected from the Royal Mail Feltham Delivery Office. I live in Cheshire. The Feltham Delivery Office is 190 miles away.

12 o'clock. North. Paula Abdul - Straight up.

Prince - Another Lonely Christmas.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1481991165' post='3196834'] Yes, they're excellent strings. The only downside is that they don't make an ultralight version like Superwound used to do. String busters have got some Supersteps on offer at the moment in a couple of different guages - if you look at the list on the website they are marked as "Overstocked" and are about £7.00 a set cheaper than normal. [/quote] Brilliant. Thanks Rhys.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1481989691' post='3196819'] Might be La Bella supersteps if they have exposed cores. If it's a REALLY old set they might be Superwounds, if that's the case you're out of luck beause they don't make them anymore. [/quote] Thanks for the information, Rhys. I think they may be Superwounds. And if they are its a shame they don't make them anymore cause they still sound good and they've been played a lot. Any experience with the Supersteps?

I need help identifying a set of strings; [list] [*]Round wound [*]Black silks [*]Exposed core at the bridge [/list] Its an old set I've got that I love the sound of and would like to buy a new set of; its just that I can't for the life of me remember who made them. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1481735172' post='3194708'] Another Stingray fancier here. Even though the sound is not what I want I'm after, I still love the look of them. I went out and got a lovely black and maple SUB to quench my urge but that still sits in its gig bag. [/quote] Me too. I've had a 78 and an 04; both amazing instruments and I wish I still had them. Currently considering getting a SUB myself.

Well you could start with Freak Out! and work your way through! If there's a particular song/piece of his you've heard then you could seek out albums from that era. I started by seeing a video of a performance of King Kong which I incorrectly guessed as being from the mid 70s (there was no caption on the video tape I'd borrowed). So I bought a mid 70s LP and worked backwards until I hit 1968 and there it was! By that time I'd got fully into his early 70s. After that I just carried on from 1975 and worked forward. The You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore series are a good mix of songs from different albums/eras. You might want to give them a listen. There's a load of material and plenty I didn't get into straight away and now love. So be bold! What have you heard so far?

Ooh I like that. Vocals remind me of For You.

George Harrison - Stuck Inside A Cloud

Freiheit - Keeping the Dream Alive

Gary Byrd and the GB Experience - The Crown Flash and the Pan - Waiting for a Train These two immediately came to mind. Then it struck me that they were released within weeks of each other in 1983. H[color=#414141]ow's that for laughs?[/color]

The Rollins Band supporting the Chili Peppers at The Brixton Academy in 1992. Great gig all the same. Motorhead didn't strike me as being too loud; just good n loud, if you know what I mean? AC/DC at Download were possibly the loudest band I've heard at an outdoor gig.
