Went to see them in Bristol last night. Whaddaya know - a sound engineer (theirs I imagine) who knows what he is doing. No blisteringly loud but nice and dynamic, punchy - you could hear everything. No tinnitus afterwards too......... I don't think they endeared themselves to the METALheads as there were no cookie monster vocals and there was quite a long acoustic set in the middle. I loved it though - That Mikael Akerfeldt is very funny. "You want this guitar.............give me your house" Pain of Salvation were great as support - sound not great to begin with but it got there towards the end. Anyone else go ? Great curry in the Kathmadu beforehand but perhaps that is for another forum.........

Peaches is usually recognisable by most people..............and never forget the power of the riff that is..............Summer Nights..................well a well a well a HUM................

Well, if weight is a problem, maybe you could buy this puppy: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-T-40-Bass-1979-Vintage-Modded-USA-NO-RESERVE-/120802305409?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3873228449483536080#ht_500wt_1413 OMG !

Thanks for that Cosmo. I think there may be more footage of it on the DVD that came with the Fish Out of Water remaster - will have a rummage Would be a great little project wouldn't it - has definitely got me thinking now !

Just bought an EBS DynaVerb from Paul. Pedal arrived next day and in mint condition as described. Can certainly recommend him as a chap to do business with Thanks Paul ! Bill

Interesting..... I think I'd rather go for the beast that Chris Squire put together in the very early 70's [url="http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5548694"]http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5548694[/url] .....so two 50's pickups, with some interesting control cavity action going on (!) and an old style bridge. Would be kinda cool to put something together like that !

Warwick Alien Standard 4 ?? [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-alien-standard-4-string/49000"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/warwick-alien-stan...-4-string/49000[/url] I'm sure they do a fretless too - put some flatwounds on it - bingo !

I prefer the black one........ [attachment=84305:dsp1.jpg]

Tom bought a Danelectro (Dead on 58) bass from me - paid promptly and with great comms - so can recommend him very highly indeed ! Hope you enjoy the bass..... Bill

Love Hurts - the Nazareth cover - Fender Musicmaster My history teacher wrote out the chords to play over...... As I remember, I soon got into learning Stranglers tunes thereafter as JJB was my hero back then Happy days......

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_MR5KkK6VQ&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_MR5KkK6VQ...feature=related[/url] I know the German ones are north of £2.5k but the Korean Pro Series ones are about half that. I feel GAS developing - doh ! Anyone tried a Korean Pro Series Thumb or Streamer yet ?

Just wondering if your man at Wizard could do something with the existing pickup - beef it up a bit by re-winding it. Perhaps get a second to work on.

I wonder if anyone would get around to making these beasties again. I'm sure marathons could be made very inexpensively - maybe your man who gets Burns guitars made in the far east could be persuaded ??

[quote name='Johnston' post='1179937' date='Mar 28 2011, 08:02 PM']As someone who knows nothing about Geddy Lee what's new??[/quote] His Jazz now has a neck with pearl blocks instead of the usual black ones. Last tour I believe he used a Japanese GL neck and got his roadie to take some of the varnish off the back.......

Cool ! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTgxYj9f5og&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTgxYj9f5og...feature=related[/url]

Sounds like a plan to me - that's assuming you feel the RW needs the fretwork. What about messing with the action, relief and intonation first ? If still not happy after that then do it. What about after that ? - pickups, pick-up cover, pots, wiring......
