[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1426601334' post='2719712'] If his first albums had been terrible - there wouldn't be a thread in his name on here would there? [/quote] Errm, I don't know if you've read the rest of the thread and the reasons why I started it (the link in post #1 should give a clue), but I can assure you it wasn't because of the high quality of his recorded material...

[quote name='Mike' timestamp='1426510759' post='2718598'] It's £1467... Am I mad? [/quote] Answered your own question there, I think

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1425653523' post='2709438'] The new Sire Marcus Miller 5 string jazz basses are getting very, very good reps at the moment. Only available over here from Thomanns but for £309 inc deliver, with an 18volt preamp, string through body, various finishes you cant really go wrong (unless you dont want any of the above ) I got one the other week and its definitely on a par with much higher priced basses, although so are the latest Squier CV's etc. The EQ is very, very powerful, and it has a sweepable mid control, although you can run it passively as well. http://www.thomann.de/gb/search.html?filter=true&gk=giebj5&manufacturer[]=Marcus%20Miller Another personal recommendation is the Yamaha TRBX 305. Again, its active and the necks are very nice. Still under £400 [/quote] +1 to all this. Yams are brilliant VFM.

Bargain let's face it, 90 quid is peanuts these days. You can spend more than that on one gig ticket or a couple of nights out.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1426118998' post='2714757'] Just noticed these have gone down a bit on Thomanns, the 5 sting Alder/RW is only £305 inc shipping. [/quote] And the B stock ones are only £286. Look, for god's sake, this is doing my GAS no good at all and if I fail to resist, Mrs.Dog will drag me to the vet for an intimate surgical procedure. Please please, I beg of you, somebody tell me these basses are actually crap and that I don't want one. Please.

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1426102642' post='2714472'] Uglydog, love that avatar, is that off a t-shirt? [/quote] It certainly is current skintness precludes me from owning the actual shirt, but I couldn't resist grabbing the image

Tsk. It is spelled 'amflipication', as any fule kno.

Cool. Tell you what I'd do with said signed neck-plate... I'd get one of them [url="http://www.wilko.com/content/ebiz/wilkinsonplus/invt/0250423/0250423_l.jpg"]small box picture frames[/url], mount the plate in there on some 2-sided tape and hang it on the wall somewhere but then again, I'm odd like that. It's what happens when you spend your days eating bones and licking your own jewels.

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1426099575' post='2714422'] Ive listened to and learned ( to the best of my limited ability) quite a bit of Kate Bushs back catalogue in the last couple of years [/quote] Yes and I bet you've had a whale of a time with it. Lucky sod, I would [i]love[/i] to have your current gig

It'd be easier if I just linked to this... [u][color=#800080][u][color=#800080][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcDZHRHwBOM[/media][/color][/u][/color][/u]

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1281444853' post='920648'] Giblin is one of my favourites! He played on Fish's debut solo album released in 1989. Highlights include: [/quote] I've just listened to this album again for the first time in ages. I'd forgotten how good it was, and the bass... oh, the bass... just [i]sublime[/i]. This album belongs to Giblin. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoSOJhN7DMU[/media] The fills at 2.27, 2.43 and 3.03 are just perfect. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwdqF-23TO8[/media]

Following on from the Kaiser Chiefs thread... seems over the years, Noel Gallagher has been** very fond of having a pop at anybody who isn't Noel Gallagher. Some of them get their own back too though... [b]Keane[/b]: Noel G: "[i]Traditionally speaking, the three biggest twats in any band are the singer, the keyboardist and the drummer. I don't need to say anything else.[/i]" Tim Rice-Oxley: "[i]We don't really care. I think he's a **** to be honest. He was in a band that was brilliant in the '90s and now they're just not important anymore.[/i]" [b]Liam Gallagher[/b]: Noel G: "[i]I read these interviews with him and I don't know who the guy is who's in these interviews, he seems really cool, because the guy I've been in a band with for the last 18 years is a ****ing knobhead.[/i]" Liam G: "[i]I love our kid – as in the Noel that's not in a band. But the ****in' geezer that's in the band? I ****ing absolutely ****ing despise him.[/i]" [b]James Blunt[/b]: Noel G: “[i]I ‘d never draw on my own life for songwriting inspiration as it would result in songs more boring than James Blunt's.[/i]" James Blunt: "[i]For once, I agree with him.[/i]" [b]Bloc Party[/b]: Noel G: "[i]indie s**t[/i]" Kele Okereke: "[i]I think Oasis are the most overrated and pernicious band of all time. They had a totally negative and dangerous impact upon the state of British music. They have made stupidity hip... Oasis are repetitive Luddites." {later described Noel and Liam as "inbred twins."} [/i] [b][i]Mark Ronson[/i][/b][i]:[/i] [i]Noel G: "[i]He wants to write his own tunes instead of ruining everyone else's.[/i]"[/i] [i]Mark Ronson: "[i]Noel Gallagher said I should learn three chords on the guitar and go write a tune. So I just wanted him to know that I'm actually taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now, and he's already taught me both chords to ‘Wonderwall’." [/i][/i] **[size=3] following on from the punctuation puns in another thread, perhaps this should read "Noel Gallagher, has-been"..?[/size]

Yes, step away from the computer and listen to some calming music. Maybe something by Salmon Dave or moRay Charles.

You should expect to get [i]at least[/i] a year from the battery, especially if you're unplugging it when not using. Something untoward is going on in there.

You can expect to receive a friendly "Orroit, moy luvvur?" from members of either sex, whether different to yours or not. Wurzel-manglers are not fussy

[quote name='Passinwind' timestamp='1424793350' post='2700536'] I've not built one, but it looks pretty worthwhile and people I trust have told me it sounds good. Someone else posted about this last month: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/252766-kreuzer-bass-preamp/"]http://basschat.co.u...er-bass-preamp/[/url][/quote] Oh bum, I missed that Feel a bit of a twit for starting this thread now! That ½ rack pre of yours is gorgeous.

Looks like an interesting project. I priced the components up and without PCBs or case it all works out at roughly 26 quid. At that sort of price it's almost worth a try for the hell of it. Anybody built one or seen/used one? [url="http://www.albertkreuzer.com/preamp.htm"]http://www.albertkreuzer.com/preamp.htm[/url]

[i]"...but there is some space in the neck pocket."[/i] Yes, some space you could park a bus in.

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1424556700' post='2697761'] Would it be cyber-bullying if all of us offered him £59.26 every hour for a week? [/quote] I'd offer him £26.59 but not the other way round.

I wish Trace Elliot had put DI outputs in the EQ and compressor pedals they used to make.

And pain in all the diodes down your left side.

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1419375829' post='2639433'] Indeed. I keep suggesting to my proggy lot that we cover the live version from 'When The Lights Go Down" as a set closer epic including the segue into the end of "Once Around The World". Sadly it keeps getting bypassed from the list of new songs [/quote] I would dearly love to do Midnight, Kiss Like Judas or Screaming On The Beaches some day. Need the right band first

[wildlyofftopicforasecond] [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1423953308' post='2690934'] However I can confirm that all my CDs are in alphabetical order by artist. There are exceptions though, e.g. Tin Machine is filed under David Bowie. [/quote] Is that 'David Bowie' or 'Bowie, David'..? Mine are alphabetical by surname or main band name, e.g. Weller, Paul or Jam, The. I do not get out much. [/wildlyofftopicforasecond]
