    ...and why not?
  2. Musicman666
    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.

    a lot of the stranglers bass sound is also tied up in how you attack the strings and how you play ..in the 80s i used to get quite a few comments after gigs about how i sounded like jjb even though we were playing our own stuff and my rig wasn't set up specifically to sound like him...

    fyi, looking for a status neck ..london area ..cash waiting...don't really need another stingray unfortunately.

    derek was a huge influence on me .. it's a shame he doesn't get back together with the old band, bearing in mind all the early stuff was structurally started on the bass ..the guy who plays bass with them today does not do the early basslines justice at all in my opinion.

    i thought old stingray machine heads were made of nickel that readily tarnished unlike the chrome used everywhere else?

    bass vi is used on noel's latest album

    geddy was a huge entwistle fan from the get go so the two go hand in hand in my mind..

    good old mother nature tends to have that effect..

    i was seriously into rush in the 70s ..even caught a couple of their early hammy odeon shows then after moving pictures came out which was amazing they went all genesis 80s meltdown on me ...about then i jumped ship into the cure bunnymen etc etc...

    i sometimes pm current adds of similar basses that have sold recently just to try and bring a degree of sanity into the negotiation ... it rarely has the desired effect.

    what a swizz ..they were free when i saw them at the henge..
  22. Musicman666
    it's going to be game to see which one collapses first ..ozzy just has to sing but bill has to drum, and it's not easy drumming.
  23. Musicman666
    me too ..i can't deal with just one string tuned down and bead was not giving me the highs and anything below d was not discernible which by trial and error brought me naturally to drop d standard ... this half way house sort of prevented me from wandering over to the dark side of 5 stringers.
  24. Musicman666
    drop d standard on 4 is the sweet spot ..
  25. Musicman666
    status graphite double neck...
