yadda yadda..lol

pmt was ok ...i bought a squire and even had a couple of basses worked on plus strings and pedals ..i think there is now no other option for me other than online.

would have thought they might have relocated the operation outside of the uk ..the brand is strong and quality can be maintained if the will is there, the days of asia producing rubbish are behind us.

...and why not?

that's what i thought also ...

the track flesh and blood is very mik karn/japanesque but look at the dates ...who is influencing who here?

i have no feeling of sadness whatsoever ..to me he comes across grounded ...just like any regular guy not just into playing but collecting as well.

yellow brick road by elton john has some excellent playing and tones on it by dee murray.

thing is he needed to play bass and distorted rhythm at the same time .. that was the hole he needed to fill.

paladino on bass ..rob allen.

put your fingers in the place where it sounds most musical...

having a larger war chest just means you can pick from a wider selection of basses ...it doesn't mean you have to blow 1500 quid for the sake of blowing it but generally the more you blow the nicer it gets however there will be exceptions.

interesting you should say that ...on first hearing i was also a bit put off by the gratuitous distortion but my god does it grow on you to the point that my appreciation of bass tone has evolved somewhat.
