I own the combo he used at the Albert Hall

The Bitch on Bass - Rockbitch - played a fretless, and slapped it too! Amazing player.

So great customer service, but poor quality control?

[quote name='Eight' post='509749' date='Jun 9 2009, 11:44 PM']Just going to bump this to ask a quick question. If you play with three fingers, do you always run 4,3,2,4,3,2,4,3,2 etc. (or is that 3,2,1 - can never remember whether the thumb is counted on bass) or 4,3,2,3,4,3,2,3.4 etc.? I tend to use a kind of floating thumb technique for muting (in the sense that I'm trying ) Cheers.[/quote] as the OP r-m-i-r-m-i-r-m-i but i'm trying to i-m-r. I also play a lot of i-r as the main fingers.

The Musicians Union has plenty of advice on this, and advice for members including an agreement with airlines for it's members.

[quote name='dood' post='507476' date='Jun 7 2009, 12:53 PM']Or possibly Paul Gray as in 'Eddie and the Hotrods', 'UFO' and 'The Damned' - not 100% sure about the damned, but he defintely toured with Captain Sensible's band. Awesome Gibson Thunderbird tone and WHAT A PLAYER![/quote] yep, he was in the Damned between The Hotrods and UFO. He replaced Algy Ward after Machine Gun Etiquette. I think he does a column in BGM.

Was it Eden who on their website had the amp that had been through a house fire? IIRC it was scorched and the nobs had melted away but it still worked fine.

I don't think anyone would be posting on this thread if they didn't care. We all want a great Bass mag.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='506893' date='Jun 6 2009, 11:56 AM']In an age of modern amps,cabs and bass electronics,why do some players just play with fingers?[/quote] because they can. [quote name='silddx' post='506926' date='Jun 6 2009, 12:51 PM']In an age of DAW and sequencers, why do you bother playing bass at all?[/quote] hasn't harmed Def Leppard. [quote name='Bassassin' post='506941' date='Jun 6 2009, 01:15 PM']It is a bit of an old chestnut, this. The answer is simple. "Bassists" who use plectrums are not true bassists - they are failed guitarist scum and it is the duty of every right-thinking real bassist to seek them out and smash their hands with a hammer, so they do not cheapen & degrade the purity & skill of proper bass playing with this abominable perversion of theirs. Praise The Lord. Easy, really. Jon.[/quote] what he said

I'd still stick with the P. Verndine White seems to always have had a p pup on all the basses he used, so that would be good enough for me

Well if the choice is from your sig I'd say the P will be ideal.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='505863' date='Jun 4 2009, 09:45 PM']Could be the old triple switcheroonie - P on Dirnt, T on Jazz, Jazz on P. Happens more often than you'd think - retailer gets bored on a wet Wednesday in Morecambe and decides to change all the necks around for a laugh.[/quote] So don't buy a bass in Morecambe?

[quote name='obbm' post='503639' date='Jun 2 2009, 11:47 AM']If you go to the store you will see that the owner/first poster also writes tuition/transcription books so it's probably a marketing exercise for him to sell his wares.[/quote] doh! didn't notice that.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='503627' date='Jun 2 2009, 11:31 AM']Just wondered who else might have seen this new bass website called 'For Bass Players Only'. (Or am I just late to this particular party!? ) [url="http://www.forbassplayersonly.com/"]http://www.forbassplayersonly.com/[/url][/quote] you are early if anything! The only posts are by the guy who created the site, so early days. Looks USA based, but I will probably keep an eye on it.

Not just for KISS fans, a great rock show all round!
