Closely followed by White Stripes' 'One Nation Army'

We have a new single coming on Wednesday 2nd November to mark 'Day of the Dead', called 'Who do you love?' Its much more bum-shaking and funky than our previous material and as soon as its available I will post a link here. For now, as a taster, here is the artwork [attachment=92272:385487_10150354128923106_236361988105_8581661_1317421933_n.jpg]

Bass sounds good to me too. Nice work

wow, looks awesome - Mr Foxen would probably describe that as serious doom

Isn't that just a trick of the slightly upwards angle of the photo? Its exactly along the top edge of the board (there's no binding as evidenced by G board edge). He is bending the A slightly away from the E so the gap looks artificially large

Wasn't it Tommy Vance's signature theme on R1? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWcJ7WeAK78

And my other fave, also on the same album, was Pilgrims - so melodic and lovely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaIT3CFRaf4

Oooh, I LOVED Van der Graaf Generator back in the day. My favourite was always Still Life, which I still nerdishly know all the lyrics to some 30-odd years after hearing it first! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYBifGynf6g

In response to a request on the Hawkwind thread, how's about an appreciation thread for Gong, Steve Hillage, Daevid Allen's bands and their multiple spin-offs? I know silddx will be in like flynn here! So to get things going, here's Steve Hillage with the Salmon Song and Gong's Flying Teapot (MIke Howlett on bass IIRC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24NQR8gRqXY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfd4c2xDOUE

Just checked your profile, GW, to discover you were born in '61. So how about a Y-O-B Fender P, like this one, but hopefully at a lower price point: [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-Fender-Precision-Bass-Sunburst-/370538184521"]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1961-Fender-Precision-Bass-Sunburst-/370538184521[/url]

Sounds like BigRedX's fave squeeze? Dammit, can't remember name but someone will jump in here ...

here's my Alleva, you will not find a better Jazz IMHO (and that of Happy Jack, and apparently even Jimmy C considers this one of his finest, according to lozbass - who took this pic and has the other final hand-made bass from the NYC shop) [attachment=92045:IMG_1414.JPG]

I have Pyramid Gold flats on my 63P and they are very soft compared to Chromes or La Bellas - they feel like they've been worn in for years immediately out of the packet. Very deep and thumpy (think Motown/Jamerson sonically) and completely unslappable. Only problem is that the E string is hit-or-miss in my experience, sometimes being deader than a dodo

But seriously, buy a nice vintage pre-CBS Fender as prices have likely come down and enjoy playing it at home (you have enough gigging basses) and long-term price appreciation too

Was it you that nicked my car?

Beats working in an office for a living though

For various reasons (band illnesses, recording etc) there will only be one more Rattlin Bone gig this year. Should be a good'un though. Its on Saturday 17 December at Jamboree in Limehouse, London and the headline act will be Joe Black, "the king of cabaret noir" [url="http://misterjoeblack.com/"]http://misterjoeblack.com/[/url] Here's the flyer [attachment=92014:FH_ONLINE_FLYER_DRAFT_FULLSIZE.jpg]

Its known as a Clutterbuck-off
