PTB

According to the credits at the end of the video, that's session heavy Phil Mulford on upright. Thanks for posting.

Whoever can correctly identify these cases chronologically deserves the Golden Anorak award :-)

I've been regretting selling my CAR Sadowsky RV4 and that feeling was compounded last night when I came across a picture of Jimmy Earl in Bass Player magazine. He was holding a 66 Jazz in CAR with a rosewood board, blocks & binding. I shall therefore have one of them. The other one would be a 62 Jazz with a tort pickguard. If Oly White was added, I would choose it but otherwise, Sonic Blue please.

Bloody phone! As you were......:-)

Very cool!

1 Owen 2 TPJ 3 Clarky 4 PTB Could we have someone come and give a slap lesson/masterclass. I would love to be able to do it well but all the youtube clips in the world can't compare with seeing it in the flesh.

I have broken 2 strings and had one amp blow up in 30 years. However, I still take a bass guitar as a backup on DB gigs as uprights are fragile things and I tend to feel the show must go on & don't want to be the one who lets the side down. On bass guitar gigs, I somtimes like to play more than one bass per gig so take another more for my own enjoyment than as a backup. Can't remember ever taking a spare amp though.

I can't see the video on my phone but I have his first two albums and saw him live last year. He sings just like the cd's and is a great songwriter - he's the real deal. I think a new album is imminent and assume what you have posted comes from it so looking forward to seeing it.

We couldn't see the whites of their eyes but had a full view of the stage. Great show, marginally better than Tuesday's as well. [/quote] Sounds like we were behind you. Must get there earlier next time.

It was a really great gig last night but we were stuck at the back behind a gathering of giants. I could see a few heads & shoulders onstage but Mrs PTB & my daughter couldn't see a thing despite shuffling around the venue. Still, musically it was superb.

I use my S12 with a MB LM II. I've never been short of power and love the tone with all my various basses.

Gigging my 121/121 rig tonight @ George IV on Chiswick High Rd, can't wait. Great sound, easy load in & out & it has never let me down.

I really should have bought tickets for the lot months ago. One day, I will learn my lesson. Still, roll on Sunday!

Mrs PTB and I are going on Sunday night. I notice many of the other nights are sold out. Any other BC'rs going along to wish him a happy 75th?

I also use a MarkBass head with a Barefaced S12 and leave the eq knobs at noon and the filters mostly off. As others have said, I doubt that is truly flat: instead, it's the signature sound of the amp & I like it. I also appreciate the lack of fiddling involved in getting a good sound.

Sounds cool Clarky. I will try & be there.

I thought it was a decent bit of kit but it didn't suit all my basses. My MarkBass amps do so I sold the GB. No regrets.

Kev, I'd be tempted to send it back. Having read your post, I plugged mine in, switched on and there was very little hiss even with the master on full, quiet enough to be a non-issue at a gig. These are great little combos as everyone above attests so, if you can sort this, it'll give you many years of trouble-free pleasure based on my experience.

l had said I wasn't going, too much noise, not enough stuff I want to see, nothing much I need etc. Now in the queue for Paul Turner........

I'm also going to one of the Scala dates - can't wait!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1390656486' post='2347986'] That's usually my experience but I knew this one: Mars Volta, Pink, Moby and her father was Kim Gardner of The Birds, The Creation, and Ashton, Gardner & Dyke etc. [/quote] Hmm,I seem to be too old to have heard of Eva and too young to have heard of Kim. Who else am I missing out on? Anyway, as you were.

Not what I expected her signature axe to look like.......it looks like it would be good for metal! Uncle P, you are welcome to try my Reverend Rumblefish if you are ever down my way.
