I don't do spotify. Not for any reason, perhaps I'll have a look

they have great pickups, even now as Precision player thru n thru, I do love the single coil fizz of the front pickup

another great video and another album to buy

yep I totally agree. I would buy the Toy Matinee album but can't find it at a reasonable price. AND he has made me want to practice and improve, something I haven't done for many years

I bought this Flea bass when they first came out. I ordered it 4 years ago tomorrow. I gigged it probably 70 odd times, the finish started to wear where I rest my forearm. It now sits in the office and I occasionally pick it up, have a noodle and put it back. Sell it, I thought.........................nah, can't be bothered I've just sen someone looking for one in items wanted, couldn't be easier I got it out and had a noodle....................nah, not for sale, what a superb bass picture just because!!

Jessie's Girl Rick Springfield Stand and Deliver....Adam and the Ants Poison Arrow......ABC You spin me round.....Dead or Alive (this goes down a storm) Just can't get enough....Depeche Mode Down Under.......Men at Work A little respect....Erasure Electric Dreams...Georgio Moroder Kids in America.....Kim Wilde Relax and Two tribes....Frankie Everybody wants to rule the world..Tears for Fears These are all great songs

I had one fitted to a manson explorer. Never used it. It was already fitted to the bass when I bought it. In hindsight, I should have removed it and sold it!!

yep I totally agree. I would buy the Toy Matinee album but can't find it at a reasonable price. AND he has made me want to practice and improve, something I haven't done for many years

I'll have to get the first album and give it a listen. I like the space on this one and the drumming

What did you think of the album, I'm really enjoying it

yep I'm with you on that

Look at his FB page, sadly I sold my XL-2 recently, which has since changed hands again.

Actually I think you SAW bashers are partly wrong here. We play, Never gonna give you up by Rick Astley, it goes down a storm. Rick is a great singer and some of the songs SAW wrote were good songs. Granted about Kylie, I don't like her voice but she can do it live as can Jason Donnovan. SAW production made it all sound too similar which I think was the real problem.

wow that's fab too

Yes that's the one. Mark at classic and cool said it was lovely and in Denmark. Beautiful bass. Is it a one off?

Does anyone on here have this bass Custom shop bass I don't know if there is only one. It was originally in GAK , then I've just it here (but sold) I was wondering what it's like. Herbie and this bass was one of my biggest influences when I started playing

I don't understand what you mean. Songs you have or haven't covered 'scuse my thickness here

Great Story

I'm currently in an 80s duo. Keyboards and live guitar with backing tracks. There are so many good songs from the 80s. our set includes Wham! Culture Club Men without hats Duran Elton john (I'm still standing) Queen (Radio GaGa) Rick Springfield ABC Billy Idol, Survivor, Bon Jovi, Bryan adams, Depeche mode Dexys, Men at work, Erasure, Genesis, Ultravox, Toto, Howard jones, Huey lewis, KC and the sunshine band (give it up, cracking song) Kim Wilde, Lionel Ritchie, OMD, Pet shop boys, Frankie goes to Hollywood,, Soft Cell, A-Ha, The Police, Yazoo so many good songs

Gets you thinking doesn't it. Playing for departed friends, funerals that kind of thing. But thinking about it, I was doing a pub gig, standing in for a band that had just fallen apart (they were called Cunning Stunts) We were a very average pub band with a great singer, boundless energy and I had been playing bass for 6 or so years. The drummer and guitarist of the defunk band were there and we decided they should join us on Freebird. HOLY COW!! I'd never played with a drummer that could actually really play. He could spin his sticks through his fingers and he nailed every single fill. I had never felt connected to a drummer in my playing career. And then it was like having Steve Vai on guitar. He was a fab player, again full of energy, fabulous licks and it turned out to be a bloody nice bloke. We started a new band that weekend, learned 15 songs around sunday lunch and gigged that evening. Roadhouse!!. Gigged all over the south east, Hastings, Chiddingly, East London and Kent. 1988-1990 ish. But that version of Freebird, that night in the pub, that was special. It was a lights on moment for me

I've decided I don't need to play with knob heads. You're better off out of it I reckon. Look for something new. I've recently realised that band 'mates' should be just that,..........mates
