Great thread guys thank you

I also picked up guitar after 15 odd years of bass playing as I got bored of being a side man and having to rely on a band to gig one of the best things I've ever done I recommend to anyone thinking of picking up another instrument to do it I am amazed at how many drummers are also great piano players as well i suppose it would make sense as its also a percussion instrument

Thanks it sounds awesome I've got a bit more in the rack now but at the time ran out of bloody money to get a rack tuner and wireless hence all the wires hanging off it and the tuner and wireless on the floor

yer Gary played guitar is brother Anth played Bass

Sorry if this has already been covered on the Forum but I had to share when I started playing bass I used to wear it under my chin it was the 80's after all once the novelty of the flying thumb wore off I started to wear my bass a little lower just above waste height but have always felt like I was not really playing the instrument as it wasn't close enough to my body(if that makes sense) just recently I have adjusted my strap to a much longer length (just above crotch)mostly to hide my gut but also because I felt stupid wearing the bass so high after all these years I am no longer the 7 stone bean pole I used to be I used to work in a Book Bindary and have destroyed my wrists(steady)so at some angles I get painful clicking wrists when playing but that has gone now i have no troubles hitting the notes plus I play with thumb on the front pick up of my Cirrus's with the fingers plucking over the bridge so I still get a nice tight sound I know our bodies change when we get older we hunch and get wider as middle age spreads but how do you guys/girls wear your basses????

My Sterling 34 Letts Nitro and Squire P

I kicked myself recently as Daintees were playing a nice theatre gig and someone filmed it and stuck it on you tube I wished I'd used the Pangborn that night as it sounds great but no I haven't got anything to show you sorry

yes they are my little nest eggs

I love your collection well done, Id love to take mine on the road again but they need a good service I haven't seen John since 2000 but must get to see him soon here is the only picture of the Fretless have to hand

hey bud I had six Jaydee's at one point two MK's a Zebrano session the two GA's and an 1982 Fretless Roadie which I still have I swapped the Session for a Pangborn Warlord and sold the MK's Series II and III (I believe)as I just didn't get on with them but no I didn't replace them with others

[b]My Rig is a Shuttle 9.0 with two 4x10 Uber cabs fantastic sounding rig [/b]

here are Two of mine I always liked the GA's over the MK's the Green one I played for 15 years it has Green LED's up the neck and Johns SN2000 pick ups but its retired now This second one is the Seven Dwarfs a shorter Scale GA version which has the original JD pick ups and Johns signature on the back of the head stock again this is retired as well

Im hoping its a Daintees Show and not a Solo gig

Cheers everyone thanks for the live footage great to see Edwin twitching like a nervous David Byrne
