You'll need some Taurus bass pedals to get the really authentic Rutherford bass sound Ricky for the faster melodic high end parts and the pedals for a great big hefty drone sitting underneath everything. A really core part of the early Genesis sound. Personally I think Rutherford was a fine bass player but kinda lost it when Steve Hacket left and he got the opportunity to play lead guitar (he'd always played a fair bit of 12 string).

Sorry - forgot to say - great vid Josh, Gouche is just wonderful.

That's a good price from Absolute - I've always thought them a shade on the expensive side.

I have a Spector USA NS5-XL which, as far as i knew, had the Tone Pump fitted. However I've just been reading the owner's manual and it says the controls do not ahve any center detents & mine certainly do. Does this mean I actually don't have the Tone Pump fitted? I haven't really played much with the controls but they sound like they are centred with both boost & cut as opposed to a more direct boost only circuit?

I can't believe I've never seen this before - what a fabulous bit of live footage of both Marvin & JJ (plus the rest of the band of course!).

Slightly off topic but I was at a big showbiz party once entertaining a client and the band were really funky. The thing that suprised me was how many Edwin Starr songs they were playing - The person I was with mentioned this to one of the organisers & said the singer was very good but had a bit of an Edwin Starr fixation going on. The organiser casually pointed out that this was because the singer actually was Edwin Starr :blush: The pair of us slid quietly away into a corner. . . Never heard of Blinky before, will definitely fire up my Spotify for a listen Hunter Gets Captured was originally the Marvelettes I think.

I like watching Tal Wilkenfeld jamming on this one with Beck live at Ronnie's: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zah06PvnVio"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zah06PvnVio[/url] Bass is a bit low in the mix but she's obviously enjoying playing it lots without any fancy stuff - just holding the groove and working it

[quote name='51m0n' post='429303' date='Mar 9 2009, 01:05 PM']Nice, I think she's quoting God Fear Money even if she didn't realise it. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY033jfPoNk&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY033jfPoNk...feature=related[/url] The tone on that is unreal, how crunchy can you get???? Probably not everybodies cup of tea but I love it...[/quote] Umm, I'll have a cup of whatever you're having. . .

Met Nick in a good old Basschatter's favourite venue - a motorway service station car park! Really nice guy & just one of those people you know you can trust with any sort of deal From a brief 2 minutes watching him acoustically trying out a bass I have a sneaking suspicion that this man can really play. . .

Ray recently bought an Epifani head from me & everything went really smoothly Lots of excellent communication & very understanding about a short delay when my courier failed to turn up one day. Someone I would trust completely in any deal
