[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1343855006' post='1756506'] I can empathise with you here.I have not been diagnosed with depression but I do have Fibromyalgia; a symptom of which can be depression along with all the other stuff I have to live with(not looking for sympathy here its just a fact of life for me).[/quote] Sorry to read that mate, my wife was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year, it's a horrible illness, she's in constant pain.

This masterpiece, shame about the production though!

Another great cover of another great song! [url="http://youtu.be/cpK4Zdeep-g"]http://youtu.be/cpK4Zdeep-g[/url]

Superb! [media]http://youtu.be/kx_fERY_nYA[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/7YQSXXVlDFo[/media]

One of my all-time favourite bass players. Sad & funny, just glad he's still alive. [url="http://youtu.be/xZ7vn5Xg--Y"]http://youtu.be/xZ7vn5Xg--Y[/url]

Tbh honest I've only had one crap experience on there, that was a few years back, I bought a 4 port USB hub, when it arrived it was knackered, got sent a replacement, that was knackered too.

Not heard much by The Gun Club tbh, but you're probably right about the Sisters stuff, Though Floodland does sound like it has bass on it, could be sampled though, they did like their synths.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1342873189' post='1742142'] She hasn't aged well though... [/quote] Not clocked her for a decade or so, but she still looked fine to me in 2002. [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1342873279' post='1742145'] And an underrated player,too.[/quote] Agreed! Certainly not to be judged by that over produced Sisters of Mercy tripe. Saw her with The Damned and she was no slouch.

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1342827681' post='1741760'] At last, a rhythm stick. Always wonder what one looked like. [/quote] lol finally

Ordered a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky's on Thursday, my order arrived yesterday a pair of Vic Firth 5A drum sticks, phoned them up. Me "Hello err yes mate (laughing) I ordered a set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky's off of you via eBay and you've sent my a set of drum sticks, wot gives?" FDM bloke "Oh sorry sir I'll amend your order an get a set straight out to you, I'll also send you a set for free of charge for your inconvenience." Me "Excellent! I'll return the drums sticks as your address is on the bottom of the postage label." FDM Bloke "No it's ok, don't bother, just give them to your drummer." As sure as eggs is eggs. Two sets of said bass strings arrived this morning. I know it's not a freebie 8x10 chucked in for buying two SVT rigs, for cash, but it just goes to show in this time of austerity there is still some decent traders out there, even on eBay.

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1342851498' post='1741818'] I'm a "neck-gripper" and seem to wear frets like nobody's business :/ [/quote]You're not Patricia Morrison in disguise are you?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1342799459' post='1741234'] Very good. Then you can easily move it on when you realise you don't need a J-bass! [/quote] +1. Hideous things that they are!

He wants hitting with it!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1342786086' post='1740901'] In my opinion there is no such thing as a 'one fits all bass'. And since you asked; yes, I think this is a bad idea! [/quote] +1 [quote name='bremen' timestamp='1342786277' post='1740904'] I've never found a J pickup to blend well with a P [/quote] +1 Aye don't get your bass butchered! Instead why not go for a 2nd hand Squier PJ Special if you really want to experiment? I had one which I upgraded the pup's in and to be honest it still sounded crap, ended up playing it with the J pup turned off. and yeah I'm older than 30.

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1342705198' post='1739635'] he's probably agreed a deal outside eBay with someone! [/quote] I think I might have scared him off, I sent him this about an hour ago. [b]Dear peds858,[/b] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Hey mate,[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3]Do yourself a favour and change the description of this bass, as I can guarantee you that it is NOT a Fender! Here's a few things that are glaringly wrong! 1. Fender's have the truss rod adjuster at the heel of the neck, not at the headstock. 2. The headstock is the wrong shape, 3. The bridge is wrong, yours has 7 screws whereas a Fender has 5, 4. The Machine heads are not stamped with the Fender logo. 5. There is no serial number on the neck plate.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif][size=2][b] - unraveled1962[/b][/size][/font][/color]

7 screw bridge? ....it's more than likely a stripped back early Westfield, Gear4music etc.

Vile!

ooh pardon me! He was using something black with a rosewood neck back in '82 (could've been a Yamaha). Sure he was using it at Reading in '83 too, minds a blur TBH.

It's nowt new! [attachment=113452:stranglers3.jpg]

Back in the day it was Highway Song by Blackfoot.

[quote name='jonsebass' timestamp='1342426186' post='1734493'] Just this. You could say that for a bass player, Im slightly obsessed with Robbo... Check the solo out from 2:45 - and look at the way he struts forward - sheer arrogance, but it works for me! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsIubn5Pp6s&feature=fvwrel[/media] [/quote] Great song, He plays this solo better on the Live & Dangerous album. But then again, apart from the drums, Live & Dangerous is a studio recording.
