Well hello Howard! its lee muir here!!! Fantastic to see you on here, do you remember picking me up from gateshead metro station ( still nothing untoward, apparently his kerb crawling days are over) to fix a broken tuner on my ibanez musician, i was a pup of 18 then, and you kept my basses tip top for years after that, especially as i would usually turn up ask you to fix em in a week then id bugger off on a cruise or whatever the hell i was doing at the time. Im really glad your feeling better mate, its been far too long, i miss those smokey days hanging around the bass place, i was gutted to hear of its closure, many of our fellow basschatters will be thrilled to hear some of your tales. All the best mate- lee ps love the avatar, my old bass teacher Kenny potter used to have that on his teaching room wall, cool

I had some labella deep talking flats on my jazz for a while they were great but i went back to the roundwounds as i like bite with a jazz bass, if i ever get a precision it will always have flats i think its the perfect combination. lee

Well it just so happens, im in newcastle visiting my parents for a week from the 23rd feb, so if its around then ill definately be popping in, won t be able to bring my amp but ill bring a bass or two along and i dont mind chipping in a couple of quid for the room, let me know the dates lads. all the best - lee ps cant remember if it was bass octopus who wanted to try an eden head, if so if your there and want me to bring my wt 550 let me know!

Thats ok Nick not your fault at all!! To be Honest they were still rather cheap, but id made a big order, and basically the 5 strings i ordered came as 4 strings, they sent on the extra strings but were a bit funny and no apology was forthcoming, not good considering it was my first time using them, but thanks for putting me onto them mate. lee sh*t . I remember recommending MyMusicStuff to you Lee! I'm ever so sorry! I've never had a problem with them in the 4 years I've been using them. Sincerest apologies. Nick. (sorry for the small thread hijack) [/quote]

OOOHHH!!! where do you get those (Ebs titanium nickels)from and how much are they? ive always fancied trying them - lee Oh and for me D,addario xl nickels or DR sunbeams depending on how flush i am, 105 - 45 for 4 string and 125 - 45 for 5 strings. EBS titanium nickel strings. Can't get enough of them [/quote]

I wouldve gone with yamaha TRB , but it seems to have only four knobs, not five, the top horn looks diffrent too, could be out really, as you say it,ll be mostly japenese stuff. I've tweaked the image - anyone know what it is now? [/quote]

Hi guys im a huge fan of chaka Khan and im not sure who is on that particular live track but i think Josh is on the money, The bass player in Rufus was a guy called Bobby Watson who also played on "rock with you" by michael jackson (amongst other people) during her solo career she used lots of players Will LEE "im every woman" Bobby Watson, Marcus Miller , Willie Weeks, Nathan East "I feel for you" Anthony jackson on quite a lot of it, Phil upchurch( George Bensons man) , Abraham Laboriel, Hamish Stuart and Gregg Phillinganes left hand (aint nobody) oh and later on Larry Graham and Meshell ndegeocello and probably loads of others. As you can see ive got all her stuff, if youve not heard any Rufus stuff check it out Bobby Watson has me seriously Gassing for a precision with Flatwounds WHAT A SOUND!!! Great music to listen to if you like your bass Funky- happy new year everybody - lee

I had the Fortune of playing for bucks fizz while david van day was with them, we played a few of dollars hits and didnt realise it may have been pino on those tracks, some lovely lines that i had to sight read needless to say i sh*t myself but it was fine and bobby and david were pleased, but yes David van day is the most irritating peson ive ever met and has a face you want to smack. The moral of this story Pino is the man and made everything he played on sound great ( not sure if it was actually pino on the dollar records though , id never heard of them before i playedthem). All the best - lee ps im pretty sure thats NOT!!! pino in that video

Hi John My Music stuff via ebay do the sunbeams in sets of two that work out £40 delivered, i only used the company once to get few sets of sunbeams it took a week to get to and they cocked up my order, when i emailed them they were not only unapologetic about my inconvinience they were rude. so im a bit reluctant to use them again, they did sort it out after another week and A half, i just use strings direct and have gone back to d,addario xl,s as they are half the cost, nowhere near the sunbeams though love em.-lee It looks like Thomann are about the cheapest for the Sunbeams @ £22... anyone found cheaper?

Dealt with Kevin twice now, he,s kind enough to sell me his old tasty cables, absolute joy to deal with and a friendly knowlegable guy, items arrived quickly and very well packaged, deal with confidence, he,s a gent all the best - lee

I must say im really liking the xmas porny avatars that are popping up, its getting me in the xmas spirit, oh and Jaco = God!!! IMO!!! MERRY XMAS EVERYONE-LEE!!!!!! After 20 odd years of listening to him and thank god for You Tube, being able to see him, he has always messed with my sensibilities of what it is to be a bass guitarist. Bi Polar disorder, incredible stamina, a musical knowledge of unimaginable proportions and thinking that you are it and a bit = Jaco

+1 on the DR sunbeams- just gorgeous!!!!
