    Excellent post Nige, I've seen over half a dozen London based BC bands (including Nige's band Kit Richardson) and also Burrito Bass' (aka Tim's) excellent non-London band Case Hardin, plus Pete Academy's Nearly Dan and BRX' Dick Venom. Enjoyed all of them So ... shameless plug ... if anyone's stuck for summat to do on Thursday 14th they could always wander over to the Half Moon in Putney to hear some "gypsy Fleetwood Mac" => http://www.timeandleisure.co.uk/whats-on/previews/2338-preview-all-the-queens-ravens.html

    [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1362496806' post='2000192'] Moved my rehearsal especially for you Mr C. [/quote] You are a gent, Adam. So - following Nige/silddx's 'call to arms' - anyone else fancy coming along to hear some "gypsy Fleetwood Mac" (ahem)? - see here http://www.timeandleisure.co.uk/whats-on/previews/2338-preview-all-the-queens-ravens.html

    What flats?

    Clarky replied to cocco's topic in Bass Guitars

    My favourites are Pyramid Gold (as used by Grateful Dead etc in the late 60s/early 70s). They feel worn-in from the moment you open the packet whereas I find TI Flats and others need time to sound and feel their best.

    £20 sent. Bl**dy good VFM

    In order I have progressed from a death/thrash metal band to a 70s style punk band to playing double bass in a voodoo swamp blues band and now a gypsy pop band. Not bad going on the variety front in 8 years!

    For a long time I played Silver Slaps and really loved them. I switched to Spiro Weich (after experimenting with various other strings) but recently had a hankering for an earthier sound after listening to a lot of Scott LaFaro .... so I bought a nearly-new set of Silver Slaps on BC for £45. Well hind-sight is rose tinted and I quickly discovered I definitely prefer the Spiros on my old 3/4 bass. So I am selling the Silver Slaps on, less £5 for the small amount of additional silk fraying caused by fitting and removing again. So £40 posted for a good, but not pristine, set of Silver Slaps anyone?

    Reminder-ette in case anyone in West/SW London wants an alternative to seeing Spurs being humiliated by Inter on the TV

    I will be taking the bus this time PS, do you think with my barnet I could pretend to be Rick Parfitt and confuse the punters? [attachment=129060:gosport_050.JPG]

    Looks good for me to be there, esp as I think Status Quo are pants

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1362324398' post='1998351'] Which model have got Bilbo and is it any good for moondance? [/quote] It's a flatback so he could cellotape the tab to Moondance on the back of it

    [quote name='Presidente' timestamp='1362314256' post='1998195'] Still on sale? [/quote] The clue is in the title that says * SOLD *

    These are really lovely basses. Have another bump from me
  15. Clarky
    Update: absolutely lovely the new album. Melodic, slow paced, with lots of music loops and very different from skuzzy blues rock of Grinderman. Best tracks: Jubilee Street (warning NSFW video) which is a real insistent grower of a track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCxHvNl9MmQ and the beautiful Mermaids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4CkPM0LJT4

    [quote name='spacecowboy' timestamp='1362191193' post='1997078'] Awesome playing. [/quote] +1 What a barg for someone that doesn't care about a knock or two. Wish I could play like that!
  17. Clarky
    Here's an idea, slip the man a few pints and borrow one from (Happy) Jack's Precision Emporium for a couple of weeks and see which you honestly prefer
  18. Clarky
    Nige, this bass IS you, mate. A P bass is fab (I have two) but unless you are having an extended Scott Thunes moment I don't see you as a P man

    [quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1362150154' post='1996495'] You'll be going for the Softer Ride along with our sound man TC. [/quote] Sounds like a dodgy euphemism

    Just picked up a Catalinbread SFT pedal off Gareth. Seamless transaction! Many thanks mate

    [quote name='BB2000' timestamp='1362082936' post='1995608'] I don't think this would have lasted a day on talkbass - unfortunately as a group we Basschatter's certainly are a "Dedicated follower of fashion"! [/quote] Absolutely, maybe I should have re-badged my Acme as "Bare-arsed"

    That ain't no Bob Babbitt unless he changed ethnicity!

    Two days after my lot headline there, Ad. Cool to see BC taking over the Half Moon! Will be there if I can

    No longer available - trade agreed
