I'm going to see Little Steven at the Glasgow O2 Academy tomorrow night - should be fun!

I got a Leslie cab on Ebay a couple of years ago for.... £30 !!!!! Bargain or what???

I'm off to revisit my old Deep Purple albums now - love it!!!

Questlove and Pino - D'Angelo Manu Katche, or Jerry Marrotta, and Tony Levin - Peter Gabriel Sting and Stewart Copeland - The Police Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr - The Beatles Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr - U2 Geddy Lee and Neil Peart - Rush John Deacon and Roger Taylor - Queen

It's episode 18 of series 4

Here is a link to the episode : www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0004b87

I bought one of these "fold flat" trolleys to ease the lugging around of my cabs. Best £19 I've spent in years! (the wheels automatically flip out when you fold down the loading tray) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F303114745147

I bought two of the RS212 cabs at the sale price - mega sounding units! I fitted four adhesive foam squares to act as feet. I also got a couple of custom made covers to protect the finish.

String life depends upon various factors - how you play, and also your finger sweat!! I've got DR hi- Beams on my white basses, the Jazz has had the same strings on for about a year and a half, and still sound great - nice and glassy, with the classic solid bass fundamental. However, when Guy Pratt used that very same bass, with a fresh set of Hi-beams on it, the strings were completely gubbed after two weeks. Sounded like someone kicking a cardboard box down the road! Hahaha. My brother (who is a guitarist), can turn unwound stings completely black within the space of a single gig!! All due to his acidic sweat. Yuck. (I've attached a pic of Guy sound checking with the bass when he first borrowed it).

Not a pic of me alongside him, but this is a pic of Pino when we were out grabbing some breakfast together.

Yeah, theWals are in there too (as is his Steinberger)

Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live - fabulous album (and DVD if you want it in visual format too)

Chris is great. I've been friends with him for about 25 years. He's a grouch, but knows his stuff inside out, and he's been an absolute star to me for the past quarter century. My fretless McIntyre Jazz Bass is a dream to play.

Sad news indeed. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

This was released in 1968 - although we all know the Morecambe and Wise version as the definitive version.

Actually, the strings were originally on my through body P-Bass, so there will be no problem with the strings being long enough to run through the body, and still be long enough to reach over the nut.

You got it! Just PM your address details and I'll get them posted off to you tomorrow matey.

Anyone want a used set to try out? I used a little spacer behind the bridge to ensure that the string end winding at the ball end didn't sit over the E string saddle (I've included the spacer with the strings). Usual Kev offer - free of charge, and free delivery to your place (within the UK).

How come the pickup Joe uses on his own bass isn't the same as the one on the production model?

Also, the Buggles version of this track was the definitive version (this original version was produced by Trevor Horn too) Video Killed The Radio Star

I've always loved this version Devo - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction https://youtube/jadvt7CbH1o

Cory Wong at Oran Mor in Glasgow on Tuesday was fantastic!!
