Great stuff! Love it!!

Hi guys, here's a link to my new album - fairly bass orientated but not exclusively. have a listen and shoot me some feedback. cheers, Mike http://mikecollinge.bandcamp.com/

rubbish photo but current rig is: MarkBass Tube 500 Eden 110 Markbass 151 combo (used as 15" cab mainly but, occasionally, use Eden World Tour pre-amp and MB combo amp instead of MB Tube) 600 watts of pure, light goodness! [attachment=146487:SR5 and rigAugust 2013.JPG]

i was gutted when i found out he was in bolton - and i'm gigging that night! only member of Free i've not seen play live.

I have 2 x Thumbs (one 5 string and one de-fretted four) and 2 x Stingrays (one five and one four) - usually swap between the two fivers depending on the band I work with - although the Thumb NT5 is THE one I go to usually - I like my Ray 5 though. totally different sounds from each. I also have a Fender Jazz 5 deluxe and a 64 P bass - but the build quality on the Ray is far superior to the Jazz. I find I play differently on different basses too - esp the move from Warwick to Ray scale length.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1372676195' post='2128338'] Saw them at the Barbican last night, stirring stuff indeed. Among my favourite rhythm sections can be found Guy Evans and Hugh Banton's feet. [/quote] they were awesome in Manchester - Guy Evans is one of my favourite drummers and, at one point, I was totally mesmerised watching Hugh Banton play a complex bass line with left hand and bass pedals (needing both feet!) and playing a different right hand part too - astounding dexterity! there's a recording of the Barbican gig here: http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90/van-der-graaf-generator-barbican-hall-london-30-june-2013-a-160427.html as for missing the saxes....for a trio the sound is huge plus Hugh B covers the sax parts on keys - most of them were heavily 'treated' anyway so they didnt sound like a sax! stunning live though, such intense power.

I'd be suspicious as there is no continuity in the images - obviously not taken by the seller.

Thumb NT - no contest! I have two a 1990 5 string and a 1988 defretted 4 string. amazing sound, feel and comfortable to play. bit heavy to carry but on a good, wide strap, not noticable when playing - no neck dive on mine either. seek out pre - 1997 models though.

yeah, tis an Indie A**** R***** clone.

wow! this is a revelation - how did I miss this thread in 2011? absolutely stunning band in all it's formats. looking forward greatly to seeing them again in Manchester on June 28th 2013.
