  1. A great initiative and some of the performances were really good. Some were decidedly average!! Gives us all hope!!
  2. I have wondered along similar lines myself. Does a digital amp use the same amps as a valve amp of the same output, bearing in mind a lot of energy goes into running the valves. Not exactly your question but along similar lines.
  3. I was at an EC gig at Portsmouth Guildhall back in the days of TOTP. It was a Wednesday night and the band were still in London recording the backing for the next might's show (I think Nick Lowe was depping on bass too). He came out on his own and did about an hour before the rest of the band arrived and they started again.
  4. I even wanted the black satin suit.
  5. Gotoh do a lightweight set of period correct tuners which might be worth a thought. They will reduce the weight of neck/bass as a bonus.
  6. Bought a power supply from Jack. Great comms and super fast delivery - bought and paid for on Thursday and delivered, well packaged, on Saturday morning.
  7. I'm pretty sure that salmon pink is the result of fiesta red fading.
  8. May I take the Pedaltrain Spark please? PM incoming.
  9. Thank you. I wasn't far out.
  10. Don't know if it still does but his website did chronicle the studio fire and the correspondence with Music Man, when he sent a very badly burned bass back and told them their quality control was rubbish. Much hilarity ensued.
  11. They should just make a Charlie Tumahai signature.
  12. No. You notice that even the t-shirt can't counteract the effect of the saxophone!! Maybe I should practise!!
  13. Isn't 7 irrelevant on a bass players forum?
  14. I have the 1937 Selmer Balanced Action that I inherited from my Dad. I can get a scale of C major out of it but nothing else. He bought it from new and it was his only tenor until he died in 2011.
  15. One of the SVL Reserve basses. Had them just a year now and they are simply perfect (for me).
  16. I'm no expert but I might be tempted to strip the bridge and use Duraglit (if they still actually make it, of course). Or Brasso. Get it quick before the panic buying starts!! https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/255655669
  17. You would have owned it after me. I took it into Andy's for them to sell. I had it from about 1987 to 91.
  18. I bet Pino's dead miffed he let his go for such a paltry sum.
  19. https://www.guitarbroker.com/product/1979-musicman-stingray-fretless-bass/ 10/10 for effort!!
  20. My band added a single Alto 12" sub to our (15") tops and the improvement in sound was very marked. I even DI the bass now so we can have a lower sound level on stage. Going through the PA are vox, guitar, bass and keys. Very happy with the sound. We use the DSP 15 setting even though ours are the older version. Quite a weighty beast (even though active) but adds enormously to the sound.
  21. You can try Stewart himself at Award-Session - https://award-session.com/index.php
  22. Great band. They kind of split into two with Joe Jackson taking the drummer and bass player into his band and the singer (Mark Andrews) forming Mark Andrews and the Gents who produced a debut album which was much better than Look Sharp IMHO. Clive Bates (guitar) has always been my favourite unknown guitarist.
