    two of the best live clips of the stranglers...enjoy!

    the nightfly is a perfect album.... but considering anything from steely dan is pretty much damn near perfect this should not be that surprising.

    ....if you had a rum and coke on a sun drenched beach with this one blaring out everything would suddenly make sense.

    yeah great days ....naively i thought what a waste to leave some of the beer in the bottle to maximise lobbing range ... but the vast majority were just empty plastic ones that had all the danger of a pillow fight, the crowd atmosphere was very chilled and friendly....no malice whatsoever.

    anyone recall a long balmy summer evening during the 80s with with big country and marilion ....the bottling was ridiculous and fires were lit amongst the crowds with flags being waved all over the place, it was a beautiful scene reminiscent of some medieval battle.

    ooooh this one is easy.....every one is a winner ...always thought this was the perfect album.....and the bass playing on it is sublime.

    i was trying to chase down a wal... i heard that mik karn was trying to offload a bass (i had no idea he was not well at the time) but on further enquiries it turned out to be a travis bean ...it was only some time later that the penny dropped on what i had just passed up on.

    my only issue and it's not just bass direct but i wish once a secondhand bass is sold they take it off the website instead of teasing me with what i could have had ...what's that all about??

    i have the actual musicman silhouette bass e- e and i'm really really impressed with it, not only can you do all the regular bass vi stuff on it but it has a great slap tone and action, great for tapping too...very versatile, the pickups seem well attuned to a wide range of styles ...i have had it for a hell of a long time but i'm still in awe of it.

    no other generations have boomed quite like the boomers ...there is going to be a distinct lack of adults coming up soon in many developed areas of the world and with it will come a possible drop in the price of certain commodities such as real estate or even vintage guitars.

    spray contact cleaner inside jack input hole...

    Perhaps in years to come bass guitars will still be popular in some convenient virtual form but I think the future of the full on real bass stack with bass guitar plus effects might be tied to the boomers or generation x, with the way demographics are playing out any die hard bass player of the future might have a vintage wal in his collection if he so desires….more than enough to go around. Just take it out for a spin on a Sunday morning …

    curious how you guys see this hobby/art form playing out in the future?.... is the electric bass scene growing or in decline? will people still be interested in all of this in fifty years time or will it all slowly fade away as generations pass on? cheery thought i know.

    Bass vi strings e to e

    These aren't cheap items, why the hell are they sending them out like this? ....perhaps it was the wrong time of the month?
  16. Musicman666
    and then you have truly mastered the road...grasshopper.
  17. Musicman666
    off not of ...sorry

    i'm beginning to wonder if some of the unlined guys also buff the numbers off their car gearstick just to keep it real.

    Wal

    if you slap then then that could be the overriding factor in this.

    it's bit back to front to begin on a fretless and then debate wether to have a crack at fretted,... if it was me i would have one of each just to experience the full gamut ....later on i might then focus on just one or the other ...or both like i do.
  21. Musicman666
    that's the beauty ....the first ding is the deepest but now who cares??... you can just enjoy it without worrying.
  22. Musicman666
    just went back to the philippines after four years ....here's the stingray still in tune after being left in a humid dusty room ...strings are terrible but the action is perfect...the paint cracks are trailing over the back and around the neck pockets. ... the neck feels very light and has a distinctive kiln baked type finish going on now...im sure it wasn't like that when i first bought it ...this ray is ageing in a good way.
  23. Musicman666
    my walnut S2...one of the final batch.
  24. Musicman666
    glad we got that one out of the way.
  25. Musicman666
    all my fretless basses are lined ...if you want a challenge then just don't look at the board, i would personally find it quite hard without the lines to hit notes spot without sliding up to them, especially higher up the neck.
