Aguilar, TC Electronics, Hartke, Mark Bass do some good amp revues on youtube

John Le Voi in Alford....master Luthier

Nice one mate, best wishes for the future

Mike Henderson and the Bluebloods with Glen Worf on Upright and Electric Bass check out the album First Blood some fine lowdown dirty blues.

Sabbath lots of Sabbath

Good luck for 2019 looks like you have had a real traumatic last few months all the best

PJ configuration Fender you will get the best of both worlds then...plenty of youtube demos about but at the end of the day its what feels right for you, good luck.

Spot on RHT has a great feel and his basslines are always tasteful.

Was thinking of doing this but keep thinking something might crop up but doesn't lol....been out of a band 4 years now and was seriously considering the solo acoustic route...but all open mic nights are during the week and I work nights so no chance there....but enjoyed many years of gigging in the past and I don't let it bother me now...I just plug away on both guitar and bass...best of luck with the new venture.

Hi Nicko thanks for your pm I have replied I don't think I am going to bother....hence trying to remove original thread but thankyou again

Sorry for the confusion....I have edited post but could not remove, cheers.

Unfortunately my job doesn't allow me these days to rehearse during the week as I go to bed early evening then up at silly 0 clock so haven't gigged for about 4 years now.

On and off since the early 80s played 100s of gigs some good some bad but never been ashamed of any or cannot think of any off hand...I was one of those guys who would play anywhere a gigs a gig to me...back in the 80s and 90s you could easily play 2 to 3 times a week more if you wanted but I was always working full time...so music was my hobby but often gigged either thurs, fri, sat nights or fri, sat night sun afternoon sometimes night aswell….gigs were a plenty. But its hard to find gigs nowadays....played all over certain parts of country aswell loved it at the time but aint gigged for a few years now.

Pity you cant find a new Guitarist....my last band our Drummer was a pain in the butt type....he had so called perfect pitch so the slightest thing he would pick up on....you didn't play that right....you are slightly out....you cant sing this that or the other type....wouldn't play tunes in dropped D tuning ect, didn't like playing songs a semi-tone down to accommodate vocalist....slagged every other local band off if we were out socialising....many times he was close to been slapped lol.

Oooooh nice, enjoy......my best buddy uses Spector Basses exclusively

He sure was.....RIP

Good man seen them back in late 70s early 80s when the NWOBHM scene hit the stage...was lucky enough to see some of the great bands when they were just starting out....Pete Way and the early UFO stuff springs to mind also especially the Bass on the track Love to Love from Strangers in the night...good times

Too many to mention, when I first heard Dallas 1pm by Saxon the Bass and Drum intro just sounded so good, even today it still kicks butt....simple but effective.

Love Jamerson but not a big Motown fan, my main musical taste is Blues the Bass just does it for me, especially if its funky and a melodic swing to it.
