I'm always considered mad when I say that the Beatles do nothing for me - any era - just leaves me cold. Glad I'm not alone! Springsteen I've always found a little bombastic - quite like his first two albums, less so after. It's funny, I know someone who's really a big fan of his, guy of about 30. Whereas as I am 39 - the gap he missed of the Boss was the era where I first heard him, the massive Born In The USA time, where he was inescapable! Just a few years difference and he sees Bruce in a different way to me. Ramones I do like, well, their first five studio albums anyway (up to and including 'End Of The Century'). Afterwards, can't stand it. Jumped the shark in a massive fashion with a series of total stinkers. [size=4] [/size]

Ebay? I was watching it out of interest. Very nice bass - amazingly low price, very well done! It was actually on BC before the ban - I admired it then as AG is a fave shade of mine. Great basses, I've had a couple myself. I did change to a 4003 though because of the 'bigger' sound it brings. Happy playing!

I'm GAS'd out! I do play in a gigging band, but since December, I've been a mono-bassist. Came to the conclusion that more is nice, but TBH I'd rather put the money into other things. Always liked the idea of a single bass and playing it to bits......should have done it years ago, but GAS always led me astray - even to owning various years of the same bass....! No more 'which bass tonight?' and all that. I personally think you need to get the curiosity out of the system, that's the only cure. In bands or just at home, the 1 bass thing is achievable when you get fed up wih blowing cash or run out of things to try!

You'll have a smaller signature now LOL!

A lot of empty space here! I no longer (as of a few years) own any vinyl/cd, etc. I have also just sold my ipod and dock (which was the cd substitute), and gone down the wireless route. Tablet, speaker, and a monthly subscription to Google Music. Unlimited streaming, so I never need buy a download again. Download sales are now falling, as more and more opt for paying for a stream service (Google, Spotify, etc.) I have no interest in the physical side of music (I used to) - just access to a library a could, years ago, never imagined. I like! [size=4] [/size]

That's really bad news. I didn't have tickets - although tempted - as I don't particularly like London gigs (though I did see them at Hammersmith back in the '80s). Rather see them in Brighton or somewhere (saw them twice in Folkestone in '88/'89), but obviously there was not too many dates to start with. Get well soon Lem. [size=4] [/size]

Now available on Amazon! [size=4] [/size]

Jazz basses give me fore-finger ache. I was in agony with it, and then I realised what was causing it. I kind of didn't want to, as I really liked the bass at the time (and hadn't had it long). But sold it on.....problem solved.

I think it's a place we all end up in eventually. Maybe just get fed up with losing/wasting money on instruments! I'm a one-bass owner now, and have no intention of ever buying another if I don't have to...just going to play this one into submission.... [size=4] [/size]

Thanks Robert. Ricky straight into the desk, no frills! [size=4] [/size]

I was interviewed for job by their mum. [size=4] [/size] Didn't get it..... [size=4] [/size]

TBH I like all of Ged's tones, I think each suited the sound of the band at the time. I love his tone of the new CD/DVD - as much as I love Ged with the Ric, it worked well at that time, but like the Wal, things change. I did find the 'Rush In Rio' tone a [i]little[/i] bright, though.

Had to sadly part with my USA Precision - but happy it's going to a great home with Aidan. Great communication and an excellent chap to deal with. Enjoy with my best wishes - and BC'ers please deal with 100% confidence. [size=4] [/size]

Very sad. I first heard the 'So What' pattern through Ronnie's version.

I'll be there - love these repeats.

Very informative, many thanks - an enjoyable read! I was jamming with some Abba this week. I think the songs are so omnipresent that it's easy to forget how amazing they are. I personally think they represent the best pop ever. I really love 'The Name Of The Game' - there's so many fantastic chord changes in there, so clever. To mention the article - 'Summer Night City' as well -brilliant. In fact, I can't think of such an unbroken run of great pop that incorporates so many styles. Gives a good excuse to post this - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ90ZqH0PWI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ90ZqH0PWI[/url]

Just sold Chris a Mono Comfort Strap. Instant payment, great comms - seamless transaction, very highly recommended! Thanks Chris! [size=4] [/size]

I preferred the TOTP 1978 Christmas special on BBC4! [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1388576622' post='2323494'] It is pre-filmed but not in August, lol. Rehearsals didn't start until 9th December! [/quote] I was a bit unsure when I heard it TBH....but when it comes to the BBC, you never know! [size=4] [/size]

I Sky +'d it, and flicked through it at great speed this morning. Another Hootenanny, and for me another dreary and predictable line-up. Couple of odd bits, but majority was just same old. Not really a fan of Haim, but agree that the Bassface is somewhat mesmerizing! Though I prefer the main singer TBH.... [size=4] [/size] [size=4]Heard on the radio this morning that they film it in August. I know it's far from live, but quite amazed - but not [/size]surprised[size=4] -at that if it's true![/size]

My Ricky 4003. It's now my only bass, so by default is my no.1! [size=4] [/size]

+1 on Yodel. Avoid at all costs in my experience. I always ask which courier a firm uses before buying. If it's City Link or Yodel, I walk. Quite a few places use DPD - totally excellent. I always send using UPS - again, brilliant service.
