Based nr Tunbridge Wells. Happy to collect and recycle a decent box... Cheers! N

Tony Marinelli is just fantastic and played such a key role in the sound of Thriller. Probably the best tutorials on sound design on YT in my opinion...

Very nice indeed. I've always gone back to Stingrays. Current core main basses both from '89

It's funny how basses get a specific smell. I have had a few nitro finished basses (excellent instruments and naming no names) that gave off the aroma of old socks. They were very funky basses though, mind...

Pretty sure it's a solo performance so will be acoustic guitar...no full band or bass playing I expect.

Yep - his bass playing is very unusual. The bass is fundamental to how the music sounds; lots of interesting pedals/suspensions/inversions. They always were a cut above, the Sprouts. And the early stuff is bonkers, in a very good way. Stingray ahoy...

Seconded - At their best, they're up there with the best of the best in my book.

Here's a bump - it's Paddy's birthday today. Martin is doing a nationwide solo tour in Oct/Nov performing his favourites from the Sprout catalogue (quite a lot to choose from). Paddy is still suffering from Meniere's I gather. What a fantastic band....and Martin's a Stingray man no less

@woodinblack Many thanks! First time for me to have someone trying to hack my BC account...

Not sure if anyone else experienced this but I had two automated messages last night from [email protected] saying several attempts had been made to access my account.

Thanks all - the ideal is equidistant between the band mates which is in that sort of Orpington-esque area, maybe a bit further around the M25 anti-clockwise. Seems a bit of blank space as far as rehearse; spaces go. But if anyone has any ideas in that zone, do let me know!

Thanks all. Looks like Abbey Wood is having to close which is a shame. Shall investigate!

(thought this might be better as a new post under a specific title, sorry about bumping the one below) Any recommendations for a nice studio space to the SE of London/NW fringes of Kent? Somewhere with good backline/PA/parking? Like Ritz in Putney but SE, ideally. Not sure it exists but on the lookout for a nice place to make noise between Kent and SE London... Hoping to accommodate band members who are a bit, erm, spread out

Was this available 2 hrs ago? I'm interested in one of these....

Just saw this pop up and thought I should mention that I bought a German Club, regretfully sold it...and I've just gone and bought another one (this time a 2005 in LTD Ed black). FANTASTIC basses

I like the idea of a Wimbish one day!
