OK, so it is the same people as zoot basses! Just curious, I'm an EBS man, but these looked like a valid option for someone looking for a lightweight cab Tony

I would have done this, but will be in Cairo that week T

Anyone heard of zoot bass cabs? I am familiar with the name as a UK bass builder but not as a builder of cabs, they are being sold by a company called Lean Audio? [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43&products_id=379"]Lean Audio[/url] Tony

George L's all the way, unless you are perfectly happy with what you got on your board and the layout, then invest in some cables of the correct lengths from OBBM T

Just read this from page one, nice collection of basses, the Pedulla is one of the nicest fretless' out there and on my GAS list! Good luck with the move! Tony

I've been using these on my PB since I built it, no problems, never heard of any either! Tony

Went well last night, three original tracks and a few covers, but most of the set is own material 20 songs to learn, plus a few covers Some good gigs waiting!! Really pleased I picked up a TD650 a few months back, played 4 (MM stingray) & 5 (SEi Jazz) string last night, no effects just a TU2 Tony

Got it! Tony

I had the pleasure of photographing Paul Gilbert on his solo tour early this year! Image shows big cans!

I prefer played to relic'ed, I think that is what Kiwi was saying. I doubt I will ever buy a new bass, not because of the money, just feels better to have me when I have something thats been around a bit and seen some action (there's a like "my women gag" in that last statement!!) You gota accpet some knocks, still gutted when I make a new one though! Tony

Most of it is the origanil bass lines, with just enough to make it intersting added, will see how it goes on the night, I may push it a bit futher depending on the reaction I get, but 30 years of playing has taught me one thing, don't be a "smart arse". Cool thing is, I would like this gig, if I don't get it, it ain't gonna be a problem, enjoying my playing a lot right now, so will just wait until the next bus comes! T

Got an audition tomorrow night with a local band, not done that for a while! I heard they were after a bass player and at the time was just kind of drifting along waiting for something, whatever something is / was. A chance conversation with the drummer, who was shocked when I said I would have a go, has resulted in a session tomorrow evening. Three original songs, that are fairly simple, but two follow a similar chord pattern with similar bass parts recorded on the demos. They've told me they are up for some fresh ideas and that is what they are going to get, in varying degrees. Ultimately it rests on weather I fit more than ability to play the stuff and if we can work round my prior commitments for this year Should be fun, I'll let y'all know how I get on Soooo glad I got a TD650 again! Tony

I have a transcription of this somewhere, it was published in a mag' many years ago The main melody is easy to play and sounds good, if you can do the SC thing on the complex bits, even better! Marcus Miller did it as well I think Tony

These threads are so predictable on bass chat, some of the comments display so much hatred, it's only music and these guys, love em or hate em, have done a failry good job as far as some poeple are concerned, just look at album and ticket sales. My daughter bought tickets yesterday, my mrs had a dig at me for not buying any!! I was saving my $$ for pearl jam tickets next week, that didn't go down too well. .....I'm off to listen to some spandau ballet! T

I should spray my chevy black and put that big red line in Mine is slow and rolls around all over the place, but a good place to sleep should the need arise T

1995 Chevrolet astro van, doubles as hotle room as well Tony

I thought it was a very average performance, bass sound was OK, but prominent, whole thing could have been a bit tighter. I agree with the cheesy Tony Hadley comment, he is a real crooner, or is trying to be, maybe he's setting himself up for his "twilight years" There was a program on a while back, they had a year from the 80's each week, I watched the one with TH on, Heaven 17 and Nick Kershaw were on also (and both very good) TH did True and changed the melody a fair bit, I guess his intention was to give it a fresher feel aftyer all those years, but it was bloody awful! I think the band are more than capable, I remember recording an early radio 1 live session on a staurday night (on those cassette things) and they were good, tight as... just the vocals that don't really do it for me anymore. True was always a good track with the ladies, when I was a young man Tony
