Happy Jack

In that case, his nail varnish should Shirley be black, neh?

It has to be worth the 49p if only for the ivory.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1443099498' post='2872195'] ... but many bandmembers don't even have a prior job to go back to, especially for a guy nearing 70 years old.

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1443084287' post='2871983'] [i]Described as Bruce’s favourite bass ...[/i] [/quote] By the auction house, I imagine. Is there any actual evidence that Jack Bruce himself said this? The Thumb was not the bass he used with Cream (obviously). It wasn't his first-choice instrument at the Albert Hall reunion gigs. It's not the model for his signature bass from Warwick. And Macca did NOT auction his 1963 500/1. He still has it, still gigs it.

You do realise that this is a price increase of Infinity? (49p / 0) They're 'avin' a giraffe if you ask me ...

Probably a very silly question, but if I were to use my (active) Radial SB-4 in the same way would I get any problems? I bought it for use with DB and I've been very happy with it, but all the marketing bangs on about how it's optimised for use with piezo pickups. I've rather assumed that I should steer clear of using it with electric bass.

Surely you jest? All the King's horses and all the King's men wouldn't be enough to prevent Silvie from getting it down on tape ...

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1443028900' post='2871670'] I don't get it either ...and certainly if you are packing a bit of timber yourself.. [/quote] Erm ... what?

[quote name='spyder' timestamp='1443021726' post='2871545'] You don't go into a music store and ask for a 3.5kg P bass do you. [/quote] Speak for yourself. I don't buy many basses from music stores, but EVERY bass I buy starts with a check of the weight. There are some very good reasons for that which I understand fully. If you don't understand my thinking, please forgive my lack of interest. I think there are too many people here on Basschat who obsess about criticising people they've never met, on issues they clearly know nothing about. (Obligatory smiley to show that I'm not an aggressive keyboard warrior hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet)

Please God ... why, Why WHY??? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34323112

That is just wonderful.

Yup, it's the same bass. Bought for £130 on 9th September from a guy in SE London, and re-listed within a fortnight with a description including [b]I bought this out of curiosity some time ago with a view to doing a full restore but had nagging doubts that I would be destroying the history of what could easily be a very early Precision Bass ... [/b][b]It was actually turned up in a farm sale where it had been in a loft for decades and looking a good deal worse than it looks now with an awful setup[/b] So basically he's a liar and a conman.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1442991765' post='2871113'] Fixed :-) [/quote] Thanks - all the way in to work this morning, I was thinking "How the hell could I have typed Go instead of Dwell?". Basschatting before breakfast ... never a good idea.

Well since my baby left me I've found a new place to go.

I've never owned or played through a rig with a "sub button". If you can buy a bass rig with an inbuilt octaver, can you also buy one with an inbuilt fuzz, chorus, flanger, and envelope filter?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-The-Rail-Bass-Guitar-80s-headless-bass-Matsumoku-Japan-/111777847545 Back again, now re-listed with a 10% reduction. That means it's only over-priced by 85% now. Bargain!

I'm sorry guys but I have just two words to say to you. Elvis Presley

He also appeared in [size=4][i][b][color=#666666]Joheunnom nabbeunnom isanghannom[/color][/b][/i][/size] which (as any fule no) was the Korean remake of The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0901487/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_lk1

Unstable? Good thing you didn't tell me that three years ago when I bought mine. I've just been lucky I guess.

[quote name='Skinnyman' timestamp='1442692580' post='2868853'] Lead singer just singing and two guitarists on backing [/quote] So all three frontmen have mic stands? In that case, forget floor wedges and side fills, get three Wharfedale WPM-1 units, or the cheap Behringer equivalents. Far simpler, more personal, less boxes and cable to trip over, probably cheaper too.

Who is doing the singing?
