[quote name='Spoombung' post='597297' date='Sep 13 2009, 01:10 PM']Yeah he's fussy and pedantic to the max, but I always thought that Walter Becker ( the Dan guitarist and writing partner for those that don't know) is one of the finest bassists (and best kept secrets) around. Great melodic, dynamic playing with lots of space and economy.[/quote] Agreed, have you heard the bass, drums and vox mix of "Snowbound" from Kamikiriad with WB on bass? Superb!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='591620' date='Sep 6 2009, 07:48 PM']Just around 8:00pm, the band came onto the stage and opened with The Boston Rag - slightly obscure choice but I loved it![/quote] Exactly what the Dan came onto in 2001 (I think) in London - fantastic choice!

Hi all, I've enjoyed clips of the Bass Gospelchops on Youtube and similar places. I can't seem to find it for sale in the UK. Can anyone help? Thanks Mike

I had a terrible experience with Bass Direct. Ordered a TC Electronic gigbag, and was advised that due to a holiday it wouldn't be shipped for over a week. Pretty much received it the next day with excellent comms, for a good price, and couldnt be happier. Oh...wait....... Actually, one criticism - why is it not catproof? My cats love scratching it to bits!

I help teach some of the Music GCSE course. I always sit in and watch and help mark the performances. Don't try to play anything that's a real struggle - we want to hear what you know, not what you're working on. A more simple piece, executed cleanly with good timing is far better than a slappy tappy number with showoff potential. It's about being musical, remember!

Great, count me in.

Wasn't me, I was camping in the Peak District!

What sort of level?

A chance to try pretty much any bass on the market (if the owners are ok with, of course) - a day spent with other people passionate about bass and, when it comes to testing out gear - no spotty guitar-only shop staff oiks trying to impart their lack of bass knowledge on you! ;o)[/quote] True althought in my limited experience Clique Central! Maybe the OP should start a thread. I'd be up for some local bass swappage!

Good luck with your problem - hope it's resolved and there's a good excuse.

Total scamola! If you have to ask, it's almost certainly Scam City!

I looked in Chelmsford WH Smith too yesterday! Janek still there going strong! I have a subscription so I hope I'll be getting it soon.
