Here's Dave on bass in this photo. The shorter of the group on the left.

Heres a link that helps fill in a bit of the background to the Bass Place in Birmingham. http://www.birminghamroundabout.co.uk/2009/the-redbeards-from-texas/

Thanks. There are a number of session musicians in the band who have a number a worthy credits in their own right. Whilst not quite in Paul's league, I've had some favourable comments about my own playing. The thing that really comes out of this is that as a bass player (and this probably goes for drummers too) you are unlikely to have access to a band with another bass player. The few occasions where it does arise provide a great learning experience. At the very least you can have a look at another bass. In this case a 66 jazz, mmmm nice.

Cheers guys. I think I was able to help Paul remember a couple of the lines as well. What I liked to see was the way he took the basic format of a line, created a groove and then developed it. It's this latter part that really gave the extra sparkle in the performance.

Was absolutely superb.

Yes it's Paul Turner.

Rehearsals have just started and I've included a picture of the band in action. Unfortunately I'm not playing in this shot but waiting my turn to have a go. Watching the other guy at work was a truly inspiring experience. Seeing him in action close up gave me many new ideas about how to improve my own playing. Now looking forward to the gig itself. Cheers Paul if you get to read this. I hope you other bc'ers out there get the chance to watch quality players at such close quarters.

I m a fan of the Enfield s. I have an Avenger 5.string and would like a Canon if I had the cash. Personally no problems with the neck. I 've always resisted 5 strings but with this bass have been very comfortable. Tonal range is outstanding and pretty much anything you'd want at your fingertips.

Trumpets now sorted. Just need piano. Age range of band is from high school to retirement.
