I've got a custom bass, and another custom build on the way. But I've still got GAS for a Dean Zone, and Metalman Z. And a Squire VMJ and classic series P. At the end of the day I'm a bassist, and I like looking at basses. That hasn't changed over the last 21 years so I don't think it's gonna change anytime soon

I'm just interested in where on the neck anyone else plays. I start postition iv The 'keep your distance walk away...' bit I start position vii the mellow bit - position vii the solo bass bit leading to the triplet runs position xii the next bit once the triplets have finished - position v then back to position v for the repeated beginning bit at the end. So who does what differently?

cheers for that! OutToPlayJazz can you hear me? And a quick edit, as I've just realised this is my 1000th post

Hey guys I've Googled to no avail, to find what make of bass does Jaz Lochrie from Bad Company play. It's the 5-string, dark green and with humbuckers I'm trying to find. cheers. McD

I'll be following this

If anyone is going from South West London and has a spare seat let me know. I'll share petrol costs.

[quote name='maxrossell' post='493018' date='May 20 2009, 09:56 AM']How long is a piece of string?[/quote] I do actually have a piece of string, kept specially for this purpose, so that when people ask I can tell them exactly how long it is. Although Tee's reply will suffice

it's not small, it's compact and bijou

Piccies?

[quote name='pq211145' post='492144' date='May 19 2009, 09:49 AM']Well once its gone il be playing through A Mark Bass 4x10.. Even though the 6x10 is light to carry round, im not doing the gigs that need this kind of power. 4x10 is enough for me..[/quote] what head?

[quote name='Linus27' post='492151' date='May 19 2009, 10:00 AM']Have to agree with this 100%. We spent about £6000 on lawyers fees looking over our contracts. Took 3 months going back and forth ironing out all the issues.[/quote] Not in the MU? Could have saved yourself 6 grand! It's worth the monthly sub for the £2k of free instrument insurance alone, but when you figure in to it all the free legal and contract advice I'm amazed more musicians haven't joined

Another Corkhead! Welcome to the forum.

Hey Jason so once the Mark Bass rig is gone will you still have something to play through, or will the sale fund a GAS purchase? McD

cheers for the replies

[quote name='ashevans09' post='491482' date='May 18 2009, 03:42 PM']Perfect game plan. Nothing but respect for them [/quote] I remember the ads when the band was being formed. The fat blond guy was left over from when the management formed Busted, so they formed McFly around him. The ads were in The Stage and the NME. I was way over the age limit but thought it might have been a laugh to turn up.
