Rotosounds are my strings of choice for two reasons. They are cheaper then your average brand name string (Average Swing bass set is 14 quid retail) And their ultra light gauge strings 30-90 are awesomely zingy If i had alot of money i would stick with my favoured brand which are ultima golds. Ah well.

Bought a Ibanez GWB. Recieved in great condition, great seller. Cheers man!

Chezz55 Came all the way to Bristol in the snow to drop off my new Jackson 5 Concert pro. lovely bass and lovely bloke, cheers dude! Rob.

Also. Anyone know if percy jones played with flats or rounds on the Brand-X recordings? Cheers

Hes a bass player alright. I mean if a guitarist were to play a 7 string and downtune alot, he would still be known as a guitarist. If a guitarist tuned up to play some slide or weird tuning, he would still be called a guitarist. So if a bass player decides he wants to tune up with some light gauge strings, Why is he not a bass player? John Enwhistle and Jack Bruce have played Fender VI's which are far more guitar like to look at then that mans Zon. Would you dream of calling them non bass players? Heres one thing i have learnt in listening to viewing clips of bass players. Never pigeonhole their playing style with clips you have seen online, Chances are they can play many other different styles, Traditional and progressive if you actually meet them in real life. But they choose to put what they want to put online. I have no doubt this guy can tear it up on a "normal" strung bass. Another example i have seen "Such and such bass player Suuuuuxxxxx" This was a comment made about Ian Hill of Judas priest. Just because he bangs on root notes alot does not make him a bad player, Hes playing to the song and to the genre he likes. However he is definitely not a bad technical bass player as showcased in Judas Preists early stuff. Plus he could probably outplay most of us in a solo setting without a band. I would NEVER ever judge a player by their released material. I would only judge a player if i have seen them in real life in a relaxed session to see what they can really do.

I play infront of my drummers The rest of the band dont like that much however. So i will usually stick to stage left.

Still looking! Need someone pretty sharpish!

So you ditched your previous Musicman basses (including the beautiful Sterling I bought from you) and indulged yourself with another one? :-)[/quote] Eh? I didnt endulge in another:P I kept the one you played and said you didnt like the sound!

Get it out of my house! Its been very faithful to me, but is just taking up room since my kick ass 28inch flatscreen arrived. It works brilliantly. I dont have a spare power cable but works on any standard monitor cable. Pm for details. Rob.

Hey guys. I recently responded to an advert for a bassist needed for a local prog rock band. I have met with them and are very nice guys, But i have realised i probably dont have the chops or the time to learn their stuff. If anyone is interested in joining this lot contact ME so i can pass on details.
