[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1327838973' post='1517375'] Ampeg B220R love the style. [/quote] Do you mean [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/diamondbluebass/b200r/index.html"]this one[/url] Wayne? If so that is just exquisite. Zero degrees Kelvin cool that is.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1327837322' post='1517332'] You may have to add another by the end of the week. [/quote] And just when I'd finished it. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.......... If you ever move, bang goes the economy of the southeast. . So, what's in the pipeline?

I've had to start a heavy duty database just to keep track.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1327566941' post='1513320'] Well it`s safe to say I looked a fair bit different back then - actually had some hair for starters! Used to hang around with the guys from Black September & The Rich Rags. Nice to know The Adelphi is still going. [/quote] Ha ha.... Rich Rags - named after a clothes shop on Anlaby Road. Desperately trying to remember their names - the names Ian Hunter (not that one) and Jon Stewart spring to mind. Used to know them reasonably well.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1327563227' post='1513282'] Hi Richard, welcome to Basschat. Not from Hull, but used to go there quite often in the late 80s, both to play - at The Adelphi - and to socialise - in Spiders. Great fun was had every time we went up there. [/quote] May well have bumped into you Lozz. I was a regular at Spiders in the late 80s. Played the Adelphi last month.

This one took me by surprise. Absolutely love it - there is nothing I would change. Just brilliant.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1327512485' post='1512670'] Hello there from nearby Beverley. We've got a few from round these parts on here [/quote] And I'm one of 'em. Currently living in the Avenues off Prinny Ave. I've been in numerous bands that never did anything, from Carnage in Poland - a precursor to The Red Guitars - to 'Sign Language', 'Agent Orange' (not the more famous band also of that name), and now 'Fear of Bicycles'. It keeps me amused.

Roland Gift from Fine Young Cannibals. This was before he was even widely known in Hull. Oh, and members of The Housemartins before they hit the big time. I was very briefly in a band with Andy Boulder, Trevor Boulder's brother. He didn't have false sideburns disappointingly.

Terrible, terrible website that just gets in my way. Great looking gear though.

Well actually........ this is rather good. Strong voice there Eddie, and I like the string parts as they provide a nice foil to the raucous parts. I'd have a tad more clarity and level in the drums but that's a minor quibble for me. I listened all the way though no problem, and would listen to some more. Hope the content doesn't give us too much of a glimpse inside your soul.

Cracking combination of gear there. You've always done it with style..... apart from the haircut.

Is that..... the Marshall sitting under the Orange? It's still got the wrapper on. Noooooooooooooooo..... the suspense..... whassit like...whassit like then? PS the expression captures the moment perfectly Wayne. Superb.

Nice to see some decent and thorough photography.

[quote name='Westie9' timestamp='1327069978' post='1506027'] What are they like at lower volumes? Still nice and clear? [/quote] Yes, in a nutshell. It's both the best practice (home) and gigging cab I've used.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1327051301' post='1505571'] Hey SS, your RIM bass (need to type that carefully!) looks very cool on stage. Very nice [/quote] Shame about the owner.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1327008387' post='1505269'] Nice. My friend is buying one of those Barefaced cabs. He's getting a 1 kW hartke head to go with it. It will probably sound a hell of a lot better than my crappy old rig lol. [/quote] The Hartke will suit it really well, both sonically and also having the power reserve. Good choice. Another amp that would suit really well is a Genz Benz Streamliner, having tried one. Just sublime.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1327003994' post='1505165'] Not if you are one of the non-Chinese that has jsut been plowing vast sums into restarting exploitation of non-Chinese rare Earth deposits. [/quote] This is the problem with investing in something that has an inherent and significant time lag before it comes on stream. The strategic position will be improved, but yes, there may be a few worried investors out there.

December 30th at the Adelphi Club Hull.

[url="http://news.techeye.net/business/rare-earth-prices-drop-as-chinas-grip-loosens"]This[/url] looks like good news.

1. 1975 - Sound City 120 with home made cab with a single 18" speaker in it. To move the cab I had to take the front and back off and move it in three pieces. 2. 1977 - Changed cab for a SAI 2 x 15 cab 3. 1978 - H||H VS 115 combo 4. 1980 - Marshall Super Bass 100 and Fender Dual Showman 2 x 15 cab 5. 2007 - Eden Nemesis NC115 combo 6. 2010 - Eden WT550 and Barefaced Big One 7. 2010 - Changed Big One for a Barefaced Super12T Keep looking at the Benz Genz Streamliner, but that will have to wait until a replacement job comes up.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1326737165' post='1501326'] I'm also picking up a P bass now. [/quote] You don't mess about. Pics for that as well please.

Suddenly I'm pining for my old Wilson Rapier. [url="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f321/Redmusic/Wilson%20Rapier%20Bass/?action=view&current=DSC07175.jpg"]Similar to this one.[/url]

So many times I've seen the collision of the public image and the private reality that fame and money generate, and the effect it has on people's motives. Sadly, this looks like it's no exception. I shall look out for this book.

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' timestamp='1326268864' post='1494580'] House has 7 bedrooms so why the hell we need any more room is more down to the mrs than me. [/quote] Ooooo.... there are some lovely big houses in Hessle, next time I pass through I'll listen out for any bass tones wafting from any of them and knock on the door. Get the kettle on.

I like and admire some stuff VW has done, some other stuff I find boring. That reflects just as much on me as him. I nearly said I'd give my right arm for his technique but my right arm is gainfully employed in a variety of tasks, some of which I would sorely miss. Anyway I'd love to have his technique and employ it to my way of thinking and doing things. Same with lots of other bass players I both like and dislike. I appreciate talent - whether I like how it's used is a separate issue.
