"I Wish" by Stevie Wonder, I can play it but [u]I wish[/u] it didn't reduce me to tears, doubled up in a contorted state of RSI induced agony by the end of the song!

See that bass player there!............. ................Thats You !.....That Is!!!!!!!!![/quote][/quote] ..... that's you playing your [i]very[/i] best......

wax on....... wax off! I wouldn't use oil on the body, wax is best for the oil finishes, Warwick supply their own wax with all new basses but it's just the same kind of stuff they use in the furniture/antique trade, a sort of synthetic beeswax equivalent I think.....

Fantastic album indeed! I had some contact with his website manager at the start of the year as I was having trouble buying his "Live!" album online, he was very helpful on the technical front but not so forthcoming with gig info..... ....maybe try contacting Bernie Goodfellow, he'll probably have a vague idea what's going on in Mr. Cottle's world.

Though if I didn't sit on my hands when there were bargains to be had, I'd probably be on my 8th Warwick already, not 3rd. [/quote] +1 to that mate!...... .... one morning about a year ago I woke up after a VERY late night on the single malts.... staggered about the house looking a bit like that fella out of the old Cornflakes ad, trying to operate the kettle, toaster etc while I waited for my computer to boot up. When it finally did, I was intrigued to discover an abnormally high volume of mail in my email inbox. Upon closer inspection I realised that most of these were from ebay, timed between 3 and 4am: there were a few dozen "bid confirms" almost as many "outbid notices" and then.... there it was: "you won ebay item........" I honestly had no recollection at that point but it did start coming back to me pretty rapidly: I'd stumbled through my door at about three, and clearly against my better judgement logged onto ebay and started aggressively bidding away on TWO mid 90's Streamers!.... successfully in one case too! To add insult to injury I also noticed "collection only" was stated on the item description..... and it was in Rotherham! To be fair, It has become my most used Bass now (of my three ebay Warwicks!) and although my bank manager wasn't too chuffed at the time, there are [i]plenty[/i] worse things I've done in that state, and I don't regret it at all!!!

I saw him at the B'ham Symphony Hall earlier this year with Alan Thomson on bass, pretty good gig really although Mr. Martyn himself was largely incoherent! Alan Thomson was playing a very interesting Bass at various points; a kinda semi acoustic fretless with holes in the front [i]and[/i] back?!? at certain points you could see right though it, I'd be interested to know what it was, if anyone here knows?...... v. ugly headstock if I recall correctly, uber-sexy apart from that though!

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='60605' date='Sep 14 2007, 09:04 PM']Stu Hamm and Steve Vai are not the first names that spring to mind when someone says jazz.[/quote] +1 hit 'em with a bit of Birdland! The Funk's suggestion of Blue Monk's a top idea too, I've got a really great arrangement of that in an old Bassist mag somewhere under my bed, I'll see if I can find it and whack it in the scanner for you: it's a solo Bass thing with loads of tasty maj7th chromatic runs in it..... sounds complex but it's actually dead easy to play! good luck with it anyway, whatever you opt for! - Dan

I purchased an SKB Bass Safe from this gentleman, and it was an altogether enjoyable and beneficial experience! - Merci beaucoup Monsieur......

[quote name='d-basser' post='57959' date='Sep 9 2007, 11:18 PM']also, correct me if I am wrong, but was Amazing grace not played on a tenor (ADGC)???[/quote] that's what I was just about to say!......

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='52496' date='Aug 29 2007, 08:11 PM']I knew her for years (she went out with one of my best mates) and she always talked about becoming a professional singer. We got together for a few performances and did a version of Sweet Love by Anita Baker. I've never heard anything like it and got so hooked on her voice that I nearly lost my place a few times! A really nice person too. It's one of those friendships I wish I'd have kept going. Coat-tailing? Moi?[/quote] i know how you feel mate, I went to school with her. Played with her a number of times and she always promised me the gig in her band if/when she ever "made it".....

If you're feeling energetic the Samarian Gorge makes a good day's hiking! Seems a bit insane at the time but you'll never forget those views!

is it an Aria Pro II?

is it more than 10 years old?

is it a Bass Collection?

did you buy it brand new?

er........ is it a black Precision?
