Stil think that TYMD has one of the best guitar riffs ever recorded - truely awesome! Glad you enjoyed it & hope there's many more to come Cheers Dave

[quote name='Mykesbass' post='826782' date='May 3 2010, 07:57 PM']........ Anyone found the GAS wonder cure?[/quote] Buy the best in the 1st place - it WILL save you money in the long run! Cheers Dave (proud owner of two stunning GB basses!!!)

Adrian (and Ralph) are both top blokes & I've done many a deal with them over the years - wouldn't hesitate to recommend them Cheers Dave

John Deacon - Dragon Attack (The Game, 1980) - Great player, Great tone, Great solo (within the context of the track) Cheers Dave

Just the best you can get!!!!!! From another fan - owner of 2 GB basses both built for me by Bernie, a 2003 rumour 4 followed by a 2006 Standard 4 (my main gigging bass since) Awesome basses, awesome builder!!!!! Cheers Dave

Easiest one you'll ever come across - 'A Merry Jingle' by the Greedies (A Thin Lizzy/Sex Pistols collaboration from the late 70's) - we play it every year and it always goes down well! Job done!! Cheers Dave

[quote name='jonny-lad' post='490875' date='May 17 2009, 09:16 PM']+1 for growing a pair and being honest with them - if you want to be treated with respect you have to respect others...even if they are holding your band back.[/quote] +1 to this - funnily enough I've just experienced this from a slightly different perspective in that I have recently (last weekend) decided to chuck the towel in with regard to a 6 piece 80s function band I have been a member of for the past 3 years.... After a rehearsal last Sunday I came to said conclusion (for a whole host of reasons I won't go into) and, once decided on my course of action, felt that the only way to handle it was to phone each member in turn to inform them of my decision and explain the reasons (I would have obviously preferred to do it face to face but the fact we're spread across three counties and difficultly in aligning diaries etc was one of the reasons behind the decision made this impractical) - I then spent the next 3 hours talking to each of my bandmates in turn to let them know of my decision Handle it whichever way you think is most appropriate, but the best advise I can give is to do it in a way you feel comfortable with and also think about how you'd like to be treated if the boot was on the other foot....... Regards Dave

I have the R1000 Head which I bought way back in 2002 (I think!) - I think the fact that I still have it today illustrates what a great piece of kit it is. It does run hot but has proved ultra reliable, sounds good and is extremely well spec'd. I'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who's interested (can't speak for the cabs though as I only have the head) Regards Dave

Hi all Following a meet over the Christmas break with our very own Doctor (cheers Nick!), thought I'd post a few pics of my newly aqquired Series II - a beautiful example as the pics will testify! Enjoy!!!! Cheers Dave

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='368977' date='Jan 2 2009, 11:46 PM']Sad day - my Series II (#204) has now got a new dad as of tonite - but he's one of the best - so the KB MkII fund is growing!!! Congrats to Dave Pickering (good to see you again m8).[/quote] Hi Nick!! Got the SII back 'ome last night (the deal went down in a car park just off the A1 under the cover of darkness - very shady!!!!), gave her a quick 'road test' and have to say the bass is everything I was hoping for - classic status tone (not to mention punch) and playability - so I'm well happy!!! Am rehearsing with it 2nite so looking forward to that - good to see you too, hope 2009 is good to ya! Cheers Dave

Think I've posted these elsewhere but here's a couple of shots of my 2006 spitfire IV custom - my main gigging bass and perfect for just about anything you can throw at it - plays great, sounds the bizz and looks great - job done!! Cheers Dave
