Hey My new band plays mostlt original material, but we do have a few covers in the bag for those days we need them, current favourites are Looking At You (MC5) and T Rex' 20th century boy. Got asked if I mind doing My Generation tonight! RESULT!!!!! Happy Days Tony

Played Moho live in Manchester last night, went well, band is getting tighter all the time (this was out 4th gig) First outing with the Pedulla on the one fretless track in the set, went OK, but it wasn't until I started palying on stage I realised the side markers were bairly visible compared to my previous fretless, dropped on a wrong un at some point but managed to slide back in A few poeple in, better than the last time we played near the uni' (Manchester is like any other uni' area, lacking students at this time of year!) Got a break for a while now, most of the band are on holiday at some time over the next 4 or 5 weeks, but time is good for writing and learning a few covers cos we got a private gig where we will be playing our regular set plus a few more covers Wrecked this morning!!!!! Tony

Cheers guys! I find it real easy to play, the weight, neck profile and overall size are a great combo! I've just been informed that the Pedulla has landed 3 hours and 33 minutes to go! Tony

Thx Mike, will certainley consder that when I get round to making the change, can't play the clip it yet cos I'm sat in a quiet office, the sound of a bass guitar from my laptop will probably turn a few heads! Getting the time to make the change is going to be difficult as we are very busy right now with gigs and rehersals, all good fun! My daughter took the photo above, I've done a lot of band photography over the years and am taking a break now as I'm back playing in a band (no time left!) so she's taking up where I left off, hoping she will tie it in with her 2nd year visual arts course at uni next year. UPDATE - My Sei will today become paired with a new fretless, a Pedulla Pentabuz! Should be waiting for me when I get home from work, took a few weeks for this to happen and it's all thanks to eubassix (Dave) who went out of his way to broker a deal between me and a guy in the NE. It will get it's first outing tonight at rehersal and then will make it's first live appearance tomorrow night if all goes to plan! Then we have a nice gig at Moho in manchester on Sunday night Cheers Tony

My white Sei Jazz has been very busy of late, is now without scratch plate, felt like a change, I think I may send it off to get a tort' version cut, but also may have it back on for the next few gigs, got a break after this weekend, so may get it done after that! Still wanting a new pre, can't decide if I wanna keep the coil taps, may just have the bridge p/up tapable and eventually would like to sample the delights of Nordstrand Tony

My EBS rig is now two thirds complete, pics soon! Tony

My old bass synth pedal used to boost the volume, didn't know there was a trim pot in there, considering going back to this with the exp mod, will it make squelchy, wah synth noises, I ain't got a pedal so can't replicate what the addition of an exp' pedal will do! Tony

Very sad news A great loss!

I already said the gig we did on Sauturday night was not too good with the sound, but the band played good! We got joined on stage for the last two tracks (one original and Looking at you - MC5) by Aziz Ibrahim (stone roses / Ian Brown) great player, as the MC5 track is a bit easy, I just stood and watched for a while, this guy has some serious skills, and is a nice chap with it! Next we got a quiet mid week Retro Bar slot, the Sunday 12th June at Moho live in manchester Tony

welcome! From yet another manc' Tony

That is nice!!!! I found the pussy, trained pussy spotter me! T

[quote name='lozbass' post='525900' date='Jun 27 2009, 01:12 PM']I'm going to stick some Nordies in my Sei Jazz in the next few weeks (and get the Barts out - 'not a fan). I was thinking of putting an Audere pre in at the same time - Nordstrand seems to use either an Audere or his own pre (or nothing) to pair with his pickups. Depending on what you're looking for tone-wise, Mike Pope may be worth a look at (and I suspect you'll have some experience here).[/quote] We need to discuss this further, this is exactly the route I am going! Out with the barts! Tony

which Nordy p/ups are you considering, I think there are a few types of dual coils, fat stacks being one? I want to replace my Bart's with Nords once I get some cash Currently have a bart pre which is OK, but have two coil tap switches which I'm always knocking out of position, gonna do away with the CT's I was considering the audere with the 6 way pot Tony
