[quote name='warwickhunt' post='997811' date='Oct 23 2010, 09:23 AM']You've written yourself a very nice review! I doubt you'll get many folks on this forum sharing their views on this equipment as most of us will never have heard of it let alone seen or played through it. What sort of cost (£sterling) are we talking about to acquire a rig like yours; it 'looks' very appealing.

Make friends with the drummer as soon as possible, then enjoy.

[quote name='risingson' post='997382' date='Oct 22 2010, 06:23 PM']The problem I have with Two Against Nature is the production. It's so ruthlessly clean, it makes my eyes water.[/quote]I know what you mean. I was just glad to see a new Dan album after 18 years.

Beautiful.

[quote name='cetera' post='996985' date='Oct 22 2010, 01:07 PM']Plenty! Anything off of 'Royal Scam' is great ('Don't Take Me Alive', 'Caves of Altamira' etc) and I personally love the first two albums ('Can't Buy A Thrill' & 'Countdown To Ecstacy'). 'Aja', 'Katy Lied' and 'Pretzel Logic' albums are very good too. I was never a big fan of their 'Gaucho' album or the more recent stuff...[/quote]Two Against Nature is superb.

Sound quality not the best but the bollocks all the same.

Dodgy vids but a great track from the last classic Yes Album, Tormato.

Magic, brilliance, virtuosity, studio technology, SONGS. Harmonies, arrangments, I waffle.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='993977' date='Oct 19 2010, 07:31 PM']I recently sold my 1983 Steinberger L2 for £1400. I expected to get more, as it was serial number 610. Seeing as they were £1100 in that year, that's a poor return for a bass that's over 25 years old.[/quote]You did what? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

And to think his mother almost took $200 from some old boiler with a chin like Bo Selecta.

[quote name='J.R.Bass' post='994116' date='Oct 19 2010, 09:24 PM']I'd class my teacher as an "advanced" teacher. He wows me & inspires me every lesson. Its not just all about technique, but fretboard knowledge, theory, groove, feel. Its these last things that i think makes one teacher stand out from another.[/quote]Wise words indeed.

However, it is a bit snide mentioning CBS in the description of the bass, when it is the one thing Fender buyers will look out for. Some may not realise the connection between pre and post CBS.

Oh, hang on, maybe this. Yes are, were, always, will be magic.

My favourite Yes song.

[quote name='2pods' post='992785' date='Oct 18 2010, 09:25 PM']Wow ! Is this the version on the "Age of Atlantic" sampler ? Did they ever release it any other way ?[/quote]Yesterdays. Or as we called it, "That pissing kid". [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterdays_(Yes_album)"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yesterdays_(Yes_album)[/url]

1977.

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='990142' date='Oct 16 2010, 01:02 PM']just as well he didn't play violin, that literally would have made him a kiddy fiddler. ..oops, sorry, i'm such a prat sometimes, i even surprise myself. anyway back on (or perhaps off ?) topic..[/quote]Back of the net, cash back.

Same here. Mow the grass or look at basses? Mmmmmm.

Is music art, or, a product. I think both, and both camps will scrap it out until the end of time, hopefully.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='989739' date='Oct 15 2010, 10:33 PM']The real money's in songwriting.[/quote]agreed

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='988440' date='Oct 14 2010, 09:18 PM']+1 punk [b]should[/b] be an attitude, not a sound. techno, d'n'b, dubstep etc. is more punk than that frat-rock crap i hear too much of these days. it's about anyone being able to do it, not just record industry mo-fo's.[/quote]Spot on.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='988274' date='Oct 14 2010, 06:46 PM']Which is always good! I think recordings do tend to bring out just how crap you sound. Of course it's more of a shock to people when they first hear themselves because they usually think they're totally awesome before they begin (this isn't a personal comment just a general observation). Anyway i thought it sounded fine. Liked the blues thing. Possibly need to work on the timing in areas but other than that, great.[/quote]
