[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='47486' date='Aug 19 2007, 08:19 PM']Do I need a passport to get into Wales these days?[/quote] Only drummers need show their passports! The Sunday gig will be great if the weather holds. Come and say hi if you get there. I'll be the one playing bass!
-
Thanks for the heads up, Paul. We'll be getting in touch with the organisers soon.

I'm strictly on the squash, these days. With such a big band and people usually paying good dollar to see us I can't afford any clunkers. Mind you, if I'm not driving, not working the following day and there's no rush to get back after we've finished the set I tend to take advantage of the facilities at a venue. Sadly, the stars don't align themselves that way very often!

Hi - on the scrounge for some notation for this Wilson Pickett classic. Sorry - forget it - it's a piece of uknowwhat.

I borrowed one from a guitarist in our tribute band had I really struggled with it on bass. On guitar it's fab but it doesn't seem to have the ooomph to get the heavy strings going at a reasonable distance. I had lots of fun on the D & G strings though and slurs are definitely the way forward here. Can't say I have much "real" use for one as a full time Duck Dunn impersonator!!

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='44093' date='Aug 11 2007, 07:51 AM']I really can't fault the amps sonically although the wheels on the combos can be fragile over rough surfaces.[/quote] I still jhaven't found anywhere that does replacement wheel assemblies!

I have an RB700/210 combo which I use for rehearsals and also as an on stage monitor for large gigs. I think in time I'll be running an extemsion cab and ditching my Ashdoown rig completely.

www.amplifiercoversonline.com - great service, real people. I've had two from them and they are fab.

Lakland, GK, DR.

[quote name='Stuart Clayton' post='29128' date='Jul 9 2007, 03:15 PM']I'm writing a book on him and Nile Rodgers - it will have 20 transcriptions (bass and guitar) and hopefullly lots of detail - tricky, as you say, there's not a lot of info out there on him. STu[/quote] When's the book out, Stu? The song list is certainly impressive. Are you taking advance orders?

What OBBM said, everyday and twice on Sunday. Either a Darryl Jones or a Joe Osborn. Can't beat 'em.

Bumped for edit.

So how do they compare soundwise, build wise and generally? They all sure are very purrdy!

There was a 1996 Streamer Stage I on ebay about a year ago with a BIN of £495 - it had alu flight case, strap, 10 sets of strings, wax, cloth, strap, tools and some other bits nad pieces. It didn't go and when I got in touch with the bloke he said he'd got £400 for the lot part ex-ed against a mixer!!! He who hesitates, eh?
-
M****F*****! Really feel for you on that one, Chris, it leaves a really hollow feeling, I know.
-
Darryl Jones, Stewart Copeland, Steve Morse, Stevie Wonder and Joss Stone.
-
Bought my Laklands from them - superb service, great communication. If you are going to deal with them it certainly pays to talk to them on the phone.
-
I tried hard to think of one that wasn't obvious for me and it has to be Dreaming From The Waist by The Who on The Maximum R&B boxset. Wonderful example of The Ox being The Ox.
-
Jay bought this bass from me a while back. Top bloke and top bass, build quality is excellent. It's a very versatile instrument and always gets lots of admirers. Just to complete the log book as it were, I bought it new from Merchant City Music in Glasgow in 2004. Good luck - hope it goes to a good home. -
[quote name='The Funk' post='31895' date='Jul 14 2007, 07:42 PM']for more space on his maxed-out pedalboard? [/quote] I nearly fell off my chair laughing! Thanks for that - It's cheered me up after having a gig cancelled due the rain today.

is that not just a re-badged squier?

He's put his phone numbers on there - ideal for the phonejacker! -
Currently I've moved away from Elixirs and am trying other stuff to see how they perform. On my Peavey (P+J) I'm using Thomastik flats and I prefer them to Rotosound flats and D'Addario Chromes, they give me the sound I hear in my head. This fits in really well with the Duck Dunn lines that I play in the Blues Brothers tribute band. On my Lakland 44-02 I have a set of DR Black Beauties which I've had for ages and they are superb - the slap sound I get with these isn't too bright and the feel of them is more tactile. I'll definitely buy another set at some point. I've put a set of D'Addario halfrounds on my 55-02 just to see what they are like. They seem to me to be much more like rounds than they do like flats, I like the texture and the warm, mellow tone but in a swings and roundabouts way they are rubbish for slapping.

When I have to, which isn't very often, I use the Carol Kaye ones that she sells on her website. They are very thick and have a nice feel. Ideal for faking Jamerson lines apparently.

[quote name='Rumble' post='30403' date='Jul 11 2007, 07:39 PM']One of these also kept appearing on e-bay a couple of months back started at £950, then went down to £895, then .... all the way down to £750 and I'm still not sure it actually sold.[/quote] Let's not forget that the one Rumble is referring to had a J-retro fitted and as far as I can remember was unsold at £750 with an incredibly reasonable £20 carriage and it even included a skyline case. I'm almost certain it had some other mod too? There's something about the DJ to me that screams rosewood board. The natural one looks great with maple though. Saying that though I recently sold a Kramer Baretta guitar on ebay for top dollar as a BIN with Best Offer after having at least five messages telling me I was way over the mark with what I was asking. Though I suppose you can't get new ones of them. Anyway good luck, muya. -
So there I am half-watching Just-like-Live-Aid-but-not-as-good-cos-St-Bob's-cooler-than-Al-Gore wondering what to do with the strings I've just taken off my Lakland 44-02 which should have come off weeks ago but I've been too lazy to take the time to do it. What are we supposed to do to be green when it comes to Strings? Can I just chuck them in the can recycler where they'll get turned into something else or are they the wrong metal or what?
