    jack bruce taught me that you do not have to play a fretless as a fretless.

    it's a fair likeness i agree but like i said the real rod is working the drinks section of my local tescos ...

    i can't see how since he's working in my local tesco's.

    as you age the one thing that is sure to decrease is collagen ..the stuff that lines the surface of your ball joints.

    i had some recent dealings with them regarding a stock bass ... pretty much no enthusiasm whatsoever to follow through, just unanswered emails. I might try and get some strings before it really is too late.

    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?
  12. 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...
  23. Musicman666
    fyi, looking for a status neck ..london area ..cash waiting...don't really need another stingray unfortunately.
  24. Musicman666
    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?
