As a cruiser your clearly a top flight reader...how about then the West End? Go knock on doors, agencys? Knew a guy a while back who did the same major panto year in year out...as well as other shows. I think you have to put it about so to speak. Good luck.

Questionable? Not so sure... tis a cracking piece of disco cheese...however that octave bass line is the devil to play. And how bout those strings?....Tis an extremely well put together tune.

Maybe she picked it because its quite simply stacks better than anything the "kids" are doing today.

Gawd...Is she miming or not?...Bass sounds like it's in the room but synch looks dodgy, latency maybe? Bottom line, if this is legit then she is bloody brilliant.

Ive just very qiuckly edited my stupidity. C above.

Am I a first rate twit or what? ..haha. Didn't twig she's miming to an isolated bass/vox track??...haha, taken in I was, taken in. It's me age doh.. sorry peeps.

Always only ever had two basses in rotation and that was always one too many. I need to get to know an instrument and for me that can take years. Im not a bad player but plonk me in a guitar store and it's as if Ive never picked up a bass let alone ever played one. Anyway currently playing a CV 70 P bass. Probably the best bass Ive ever owned and Ive had tons over the decades. Its chunky, light and sounds like a good P bass.

Good female rock singers are rarer than hens teeth.. but as you know the great thing about them is they reach those high notes that our heroes could only achieve as young sprogs. From experience if I remember rightly its also a good idea too if said female has a female friend to keep her company. All male rock outfits are a just a tad intimidating. Anyway, keep looking if thats what u really need.

I think the last four mins of this as the mourners leave will cement the day in everyones minds...and I have insisted on it being played very, very loud!

Just play up the neck. Used to do it on Lil L...sounds great.

Probably more to to do with...'cream always rises to the top' my guess.

Couldnt resist a sneaky look on FB. Very good...takes me back, and those harmonies....lovely.

Well must say this has got me thinking about those sunny uplands we had in the pub scene back in the 70's. But Im so long out of it now I no longer know what tunes go where and whats what anymore in the gigging scene. So Mustang sally is still a crowd pleaser? And do pubs still have bands? I would have thght young people would rather just play with their phones rather than listen to half of that list. And do middle aged peeps like me still go to pubs to listen to music? I await to be educated.

Well, Im stuck in the 60's 70's and early 80's cause I like in your face melodies that pin me to the floor first listen, if that makes ME an old fart then ..'Hallelujah'. Here's a question. Whats with the closed eyes and not interacting with the audence thing and not just with this guy but all modern 'guitar' acts.

Welcome to the secret sauce. A P bass played with a light touch into just some raw basic electronics is the most effective bass tone on the planet. Mid loaded, tight and crisp. With rounds and specially with dead chromes, its a tone that works with just about everything.

Ive owned tons of Fenders and old Squires, but the current sleeper for me is the CV70's P basses. Blimey, the one I've got in walnut is literally perfect. Kinda chunky but light weight, tone, finish....and with the baseball bat neck is hard to put down......Not even |Fender do the thick 70's neck. Perfect

Thats the exact backline (albeit reversed) that the Damned used when I saw them back in 78.....Algie Wards P bass sounded thunderous.....What a great looking stage.

Interesting thread. Last pa I had to deal with had a pair of ATC mid radiators atop a pair of JBL 4550's fed by a bloody great Soundcraft board....Made a nice racket from what I can remember. Sadly any gig money we made was spent booking five people into a chiropractor twice a year! Goodness how times have changed...anyway carry on. 🤕

That vid brings back some smoky brightly lit memories. Bands back then were good. That pop hit they're doing (know it well) at the end is a tricky little thing with those harmonies.....really well played.

Good to hear it all got resolved.

For ever there's always been someone trying to find away around this painfully simple concept......hard bloody graft. Its the only way.

Again as with so many good things in life especially music collaboration, its the sum of its parts. Could never really get into them and grew up with them as a kid from when they first broke. My best friend at the time has had a deep musical love affair with them for 50 years. They are musically very clever and they are great 'rock' musicians but Geddy Lees playing and style of playing leaves me cold and empty inside. They are a monumental phenomenon with huge musical depth and gravitas who's music will be revered in 100's of years time .....For me? No thanks.

Ha.. its all a walk in the park compared to Talkbass. This type of blasphemus behaviour over there would downright dangerous to ones health.

Well this is a forum so discussion is encouraged and that means dissent is never far away..haha! With the exception of 1999, for me his music never really gets going, never really sounds cool compared to the likes of MJ, Luther, Barry White, EW&F and a whole raft of black groove artists that have shaped my playing experience over the decades... I guess he's just too quirky, experimental if you like for my tastes. Anyway tin hat firmly affixed..

The only bass I regret selling on. 75 P bass....lightweight ash, super thick neck...darn it.
