My three favourite rhythm sections are: LITLE FEAT : Kenny Gradney (Bass) + Ritchie Hayward (Drums) + Sam Clayton (Percussion) DREAM THEATER : John Myung (Bass) + Mike Portnoy (Drums) THE BLOOZERS : Me (Bass) + Martin Saunders (Drums) Cheers.

No gig in the diary for the 18th and I'd be interested in coming along (subject to the infinite perversities of life, the universe and everything of course). I'm a newbie when it comes to 'Bass Bashes'. Do I need to confirm or otherwise my attendance and who's the best person to contact for more info and answers to my dumb questions? Chris.

95% Plectrum (Dunlop Tortex 'Purple' or Ernie Ball 'Hard') + 5% Fingers.

Hi CK - How much for the bridge unit? (assuming it's for sale of course). [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='26831' date='Jul 4 2007, 07:48 AM']Yes, its an integrated 5 string unit rather than separate units. [/quote]

Little Feat - 'Spanish Moon': Kenny Gradney just grooves on this track. Greg Lake Band - 'Love You Too Much' and '21st Century Schizoid Man': Trevor Barry doing exactly what's necessary. Peggy Lee = 'Fever': Don't know who played it but it's the sexiest bass line ever recorded. And three by the Ox: 'Won't Get Fooled Again', 'My Generation' and 'Call Me Lightning'

1 John Entwistle (THE bass Guitarist) 2 Charles Mingus (Soulful, moody and charismatic) 3 Kenny Gradney (The groove behind Little Feat) 4 Trevor Barry (Makes ability look so easy) 5 John Myung (Technique with feeling)

Hi All. My current speaker set up is Mesa Engineering Powerhouse 2x10 and 1x15 cabinets. (Amp is a Warwick ProFet 5.1) I've recently checked out the Schroeder website and it's set me thinking about maybe going 'light-weight' so I'd be interested to hear comments from any BCers who have used Schroeder cabs - I guess I'm thinking of the 21012 or the 210212. Looks like the UK distributor is SHX music in Brighton, which is a bit of an excursion from Oxford - so it would be good to hear any comments, opinions, thoughts and experiences from existing Schroeder users before facing the A34 and other selected highlights of the South-East road network. Cheers. Chris.

Other [size=2][b]STATUS STEALTH II (5 String)[/b][/size] Take it easy. Chris.

[b]NUFFINK - But thanks for asking!!!![/b] I'm quite happy with bass guitar + amp + speakers and a few leads. Chris.

Definite touch of Deja Vu here. So Bassworld became Basstalk has become Basschat - and it's good to see some familiar names from the earlier sites. I've been visiting for several years now and I echo the sentiments of others in that this site is a mine of useful information, informed opinion, entertaining threads and thought provoking comments. More power to the elbows of those who make this site happen and long may it continue. ME: Home is near Oxford, I'm on the bus-pass side of 54 and I've been playing Bass on-and-off since I was 16. BASS HERO: John Entwistle. As far as I'm concerned there ain't nobody comes close to The Ox. GIG-RIG: 5 String Status Stealth II (Red Tint, Headless, Red side LEDs), Warwick amp and Mesa speakers - which all combine to make a rather nice noise. I'll post some pics of the gig-rig in the near future. Meantime, take it easy. Chris.
