Hmm Cardiff guitars do have a shop and its down the bay... Will try to check out if they have any although last time I went there he didnt have too many basses- more than likely will just have the guitar

Seen loads of names of bass players I love in the lists but I'll go for three who when I heard I just had to pick me bass up. I think I only saw one mention of Macca. Paul Mccartney is my fave as I never tire of listening to Abbey Road bass lines and I regularly try to play along with it. Mani- some amazing playing on the stone roses (I think I wanna be adored was the first bass line I tried playing when I picked up bass). probably my fave bass line of his is on Primal Scream's Kill all hippies. filthy and full head nodding groove! Kim Deal- really underrated- Most of my fave pixies songs have really memorable bass lines

[quote]Michelle Shocked[/quote] never heard of Michelle shocked and its the third time Ive heard the name today! must see what they are all about. Im off for some post rock madness in cardiff tonight. some band called Mahjongg and great cardiff band called truckers of Husk.

I remember almost buying one of these in the same colour back in 2000. Didn't like the colour so I bought an MIM Jazz in Midnight wine instead (still my number one bass) I quite liked the one piece plate as it reminded me of a Fender Jazzmaster

nice to see someone trying a new venue in cardiff. albany road is a bit of a trek if you live on the west side of cardiff but if the music is good I will welcome it! I heard a bit about the 800 capacity venue with tantrum- sicknote will no doubt be playing... this November also sees the welcome return of Swn Fest. based on the camden crawl thing, one ticket means entry to all the gigs around the city for the weekend. sweet! [url="http://www.swnfest.com/"]http://www.swnfest.com/[/url] on other cardiff news- my old flat mate has taken over managing Tafod (below Nos da formerly riverside Hotel, opposite millenium stadium) I think he'll be looking to hire the venue out a bit if anyone is interested and also promote the occasional gig. he's putting on a band called Dogshow this saturday from Liverpool if anyone fancies it (they are meant to be awesome)

that is sweet. if you ever need someone to babysit it, Im based in Canton

Enjoyed everyone from last nights show- I was surprised by Katy Perry and band, much better than what Ive heard on the radio

[quote]Jacksons Lane in Carmarthen absolutely awesome when I lived there I spent most of my free time in there.[/quote] took a visit to Carmarthen last saturday and was gutted to find they had gone- but no fear, walked around the corner and they are now on Notts Square. Cant say I saw much bass stuff but I remember a rack of Yamaha basses

anyone know if Peli make cases for guitars? bloody indestructable, light and water proof- we use them a lot in work for our cameras and kit

Zidane a 21st century portrait- all by mogwai BladeRunner- Vangelis The Sounds of the Sounds of Science by Yo la Tengo- all instrumental score for this film about under the sea. really does sound great and so soothing- My Fave soundtrack!

[quote]You don't happen to work for the BBC. do you?[/quote] I do. Do I get a discount on such glasses?

only one I know is this:- [url="http://www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk"]http://www.nordoff-robbins.org.uk[/url]

I can't get enough of the imagined village album this week, they were on jools holland ages ago and blew me away lots of cool stuff on that album

If the neck is in good nick I'd sell it as I know a few peeps who'd love a jazz neck with inlays

Im after a fretless bass and saw this on ebay... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Fretless-Bass_W0QQitemZ190226366359QQihZ009QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Fretless-Bass...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url] it just doesnt look like any jazz Ive seen... modded and sanded quite a lot... apparently mahogany. any thoughts guys?

i bought one of the ibanez bass synth pedals (sb7?) off someone on bassworld about two years ago. great fun but Ive never got round to using it live... Methinks I'll be selling it very soon!

I find that bass line hypnotic... class band with a great afrobeat feel to them and I do believe there's not a distortion pedal in sight

nowt in wales? hmm...

Hello from Canton!

IVe never played in a covers band so couldnt really comment on that but each to thier own. anyone had a period where they've turned down cash for integrity? I was in a position a few years ago when my old band had a development deal with a little company who paid for the re-recording of one of my songs. We did it but we all agreed we preferred the original as it had more feel to it... lo and behold a few weeks later we were offered cash to put that version on some advert in Eastern Europe... not great cash but enough to pay for a new van and some equipment. we needed the cash but I just wasnt interested... I just hated the idea of the song being associated with some dodgy brand... Call me stupid or whatever as its just a song but Im happy that I can look my heroes in the eye and say I held on to my integrity. the furries influenced me hugely here:- [url="http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/super%20furry%20animals%20happy%20to%20turn%20down%20coke%20deal_06_02_2006"]http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.ns...deal_06_02_2006[/url]
