    Your "Musicality"

    [b]What [/b]made you the bassist you are today?

    Joining a band. We only have 1 guitarist, so i had to learn quickly how to fill the extra space.
    Cue huge pedal boards and extended bass runs.

    [b]Who [/b]do you think had the biggest influences on how you play now?

    Probably a combination of Justin Chancellor, Chris Wolsentholme and Timmy C

    [b]Where [/b]do you think you want to go from here?

    Back to a much more basic set up.

    [b]Why [/b]do you think you want to go there?

    As much as i love my pedal board (and i really do) I hate being judged by it.
    Turning up at a gig with it, other bassists turn their noses up at it, sound men dislike it, but mostly because it weighs a ton

    [b]Do you believe[/b] you have a "personality" on the bass?

    Possibly. If i lost my pedals though, that personality would go...

    [b]Specialist question:[/b] [i][b]What [/b]is it you love about that 1971 P-Bass?[/i] :)

    Hmmm, not really a P fan

    With the one knob fuzz - I can't read those schematics but I wouldn't mind giving it a go. Where can you learn how to make one of these? Can you recommend a book or tuturial type website?[/quote]

    MXR El Grande is supposed to be pretty damn filthy.
    I have a one knob fuzz. Great sound, but a bit timid for my liking.

    The other one to try is a Danelectro French Toast.
    Seriously great sounding fuzz.

    How was your gig last night?

    Absolutely awful.
    Played to an empty room at the Hertford Marquee.

    Had our old drummer back depping, so he had to learn our set in 3 days, which he did, amazingly well, but not a single person turned up.

    it was so bad, te headliners refused to play and left at the same time as us.

    The band just doesnt seem to attract a crowd, and whilst i love the music, i hatespending a shed load of dosh on rehearsals, take a half day at work, travelling an hour to a gig, only for no one to come along.

    Methinks i need another band

    Thunderbirds

    Hi guys

    Im on the look out fr a new bass, and a thunderbird has really taken my fancy.
    Whilst i'd love the 1976 gibson on ebay now, i cant really stretch tha far.
    One of my local places has an Epiphone version for £199, scond hand, which seems a bit expensive.
    I have also found somewhere doing the Tokai version For £249 delivered.
    Tht really seems like a great deal, but what are people's experiances with either th Tokai or Epiphone versions?

    Are there any other copies i should look at?

    Cheers
    Matt

    I'm glad that this thread has reminded me that I need to get some more X-long straps.[/quote]
    Same here.
    I like it slung low, to me, it seems easier that way...
