Get it delivered to work, take existing case to work (empty) return with new bass and pretend like nothing's happened. hide old bass at work, under the bed, back of the wardrobe, behind the cold water tank in the loft etc. NB. Same colour and roughly same shape works well with this one. What to do with old bass eventually?........still working on that one

Started thinking about using effects so followed a few threads on here. Thought I'd try using some of the effects I've bought over the years for using with guitar and started using a Zen Drive clone (called a Zed Drive, and made by Big Knob Pedals). Managed to get some really interesting sounds - brighter, fuller etc and found I could dial in just a touch of dirt too without it overwhelming the sound. You can find Big Knob Pedals online or there are original and clones on ebay at the mo

Tricky one A bit like nuclear weapons, you can't uninvent the smart phone so not sure if PF is in the right here. The internet has changed the way people can access music forever and maybe Frampton is being a but 'old school' over this Maybe he should embrace the new era by offering a better quality video of the gig as a download for a tenner. Say £1000 to hire a production company to make and edit the video so he'd need to sell 200 to cover costs. DI the sound from the desk so the quality is reasonable. There would be graduate film makers falling over themselves to make such a vid for someone famous for peanuts

On the strength of this thread I had a look-see on the Entwhistle site for some humbuckers, which alas there are none So I emailed Mr E asking if there are any plans to add to the range. got an email back the very next day saying that 'buckers are on the development list and will available soon.

No other forum I've ever been on has the propensity for percolating drivel like basschatters do I absolutely love it! Now what we're we talking about...? Oh yes straps. I have a wide leathery one (may well be faux) which works well but isn't very adjustable I look forward to progress on this one.

Hey guys and gals, what about Tia Carrere? Not sure who she is..........well playmates I shall enlighten you She is the actress (sic) who played the bass player that Wayne drooled over in Wayne's World I think her ability on the bass was only surpassed by her acting!! Ok I'm kidding NOT!

For me it's got to be Suzi, but then I was in my early teens when she hit the charts so I thought she was (is) ace. She can still fit in the same stage gear all these year's later apparently ( or so I read in a magazine interview) Must admit my knowledge of women bass players has widened by about 500% reading this thread so will be checking out some of the names mentioned.
