  1. A little Friday challenge for you all. I've had this concert on CD for ages and have always loved the bass sound, but had no idea as to what was making it (Not Dave Pegg's fingers). I've just stumbled upon some Youtube footage from that very concert and there it is! Sadly I don't recognise the shape at all, hopefully it's not some mystery custom job. So, does anybody recognise it, or know what Peggy was playing around this time? It's a pretty murky clip but there are a couple of moments that clearly show the body shape and control layout at the 3 minute mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th80xJbWAIg
  2. [quote name='adamg67' timestamp='1438290284' post='2833389'] Just wanted to check, is the wah this one: http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/105q-cry-baby-bass-wah [/quote] It is indeed! I'll amend the OP.
  3. 4:17 is a sight to behold! And how great would it be to see Geddy use one of his Hofner violin basses in the set? That would be one for the 'it's all in the fingers' crowd... 😄
  4. I don't understand where this whole 'young people don't get the Beatles' idea comes from.
  5. [quote name='blue' timestamp='1438213182' post='2832669'] I'm not a Lenny fan. He's nothing more than a poser. Blue [/quote] That's a bit unfair.
  6. I am now the proud owner of Javier's Tech 21 Leeds pedal and Fender Roadworn pickups. Very well packed and quick postage - good egg all round. Cheers!
  7. I had an NS2000 , the neck through version if the Q, and it was made in Korea with EMG HZ pickups and an EMG BT active circuit. In fact I've had three of them over the years and bitterly regret selling them!
  8. [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1438210774' post='2832657'] I dont mind playing AYGGMW, although I usually bluff my way through the chromatic passing note section under the guitar solo. [/quote] Me too 😁
  9. We've never had a problem with Are You Gonna Go My Way. Always seems to go down well.
  10. Heavy flats are a must on these IMHO. I also intended to get a new nut on mine as the stock one seemed to be carved from chewing gum, but I sold it before I had the chance. I still think about getting another one all the time though, such cool basses!
  11. I find myself using my Leeds pretty much all the time these days so I've decided to put the VT Bass up for sale. It's the version 2 with switchable speaker sim. Pedal is in excellent condition and comes with the rather s w a n k y Tech 21 tin. Price includes postage within UK mainland. No trades, thanks. Pics to follow.
  12. Looks perfectly legit to me. I've never seen a fake/rip-off Deluxe. FWIW, the seller is a regular on here.
  13. LPB-1 and Bassballs sold.
  14. Cool vid, thanks for sharing! It's wonderful to see Geddy stretching out on other basses, particularly that beautiful Thunderbird.
  15. So here we have some lovely pedals I no longer use. All in excellent condition, full working order and with original packaging (unless otherwise stated).

  16. How much for each pedal? Also that link takes me to a vast list of random pedals - can you post the appropriate links to each pedal? I'm itching to hear how they sound!
  17. After all the excitement I'm laid up with a bad foot so can't go 😢
  18. Well, that is incredible.
  19. Is it just a trick of the light? I would sell my soul for that bass...
  20. [quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1427565779' post='2731813'] If you do half your gigs through house amps or direct through PA, then a preamp makes perfect sense. It means you use whatever amp basically as a power amp, and you use your pedal board for the tone shaping. Means that you'll sound moreor less the same at every gig (which for me is a good thing). [/quote] Same for me. Also my sound these says comes from a Tech 21 Leeds as I can't find an amp that does the same thing - apart from an actual Hiwatt but that's a bit beyond my means!
  21. I used to lust after a Hohner Jack in the window of the guitar shop near school when I was 14... Never had the courage to ask the fearsome shop owner for a 'turn' on it sadly.
  22. To any Foxton fans in the South East - he's headlining the hallowed stage of the Dartford Festival this coming Sunday (19th July). A legendary bass player, for free?! I'll be there, at the beer tent.
  23. Purely from memory, I would be surprised if the first note was an F# - all the other notes would suggest it's a G. Otherwise you would have the Satanic interval between F# and C which would sound truly diabolical and not very fitting for this sunny tune!
