    I blagged my way into a clinic with FRP as I was obsessed with TOP and particularly his bass playing. I asked so many questions that the people running it started ingnoring my hand each time it went up. Afterwards we got chatting to him and he was very self deprecating.  I Showed him my transcriptions and he was amazed that anyone would bother. After a great chat he insisted that my mate and I go to the bands gig at the Forum that night on his guest list. Sure enough when we arrived our names were down. As they came on stage the entire band shook me and my mates hands. After the final encore the entire band did the same. I never got to say thanks him. He was my biggest inspiration and it was one of those rare times when your idol exceeds your expectations. RIP FRP.

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by NoirBass

    Now Sold elsewhere. 

    Classic Boss Brown LM-2B bass Limiter. Does what is says on the tin. Serial dates it to July 1990. As you'd expect for 30 year old pedal it has signs of wear, but is in full working order. No box or instructions, but will be well packed for shipping. UK postage (1st class signed) included. *Edit* I’ll take £40 posted for it now.

    Ibanez TMB35 - opinions?

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I’ve got a TMB-30, which I assume is the same but 4 string. It’s essentially a good bass, some uneven frets and maybe a badly cut nut? Noting a decent Luther couldn’t fix in 10 mins. I find these balance on a strap a bit odd too. It does sound great though and I like be the chunky neck profile. I’d be curious to see how people get on with the low B, is it too flappy?

    Day 100!!!!

    Well I never imagined that this would go on as long as it has. I assumed that Lee would show us his bass parts for the last Phil Collins tour and that would be that. It's great to see that his channel has grown from a thing of mild curiosity to an important historical document for all musicians and fans. Lee's down to earth style, exceptional bass playing and fascinating anecdotes have kept me hooked from the start. However, this will be the last time I will post the links for Lee's videos on this thread. Thanks to everyone who has commented or liked (special thanks to @SpondonBassed for liking my posts pretty much every day!!), I hope we have have in some small part helped him build his viewer numbers. 

    If you have been following along and want to continue to do so, I suggest you subscribe to his YouTube channel and/or sign up to his Clubhouse.

    Being the legend he is Lee has also managed to coincide his 100th day post with my birthday so I'm off to eat cake and work out what bass gear to spend my birthday money on.

    Bye for now,

    Chris / Noirbass
