Imo a heavy bass is a heavy bass. You might be able to shift the weight but your back muscles are still taking the weight in a certain part of your back no matter how wide the strap is. That said more muscles in the back to hold the weight are better than less. The double (over both shoulders) strap makes sense to me.

Just bought an MXR octave pedal from Pete and it is literally brand new. Really well packed. Couldn't have gone better. Deal with him total confidence. Thanks mate

Had a BBQ this afternoon, and had Original Musiquarium playing and I will always be amazed by the musicality of him and the musicians on this particular record, The horn section, the rhythm guitars , the backing vocals, his piano playing. The bass playing...Its up there with Willie Week's bass playing on Donny's live album, very different record of course. This spectacular playing from Nate is way up there as is Stevies harmonica playing and vocals. Don't be fooled by the shorter version. The full album version is the best. My ears are saying Andrew , you are at 100% musical enjoyment.

My Favourite Christopher Cross record is Arthur's Theme. Is just sublime. Micheals vocals as far as I'm aware are not on this recording. Micheal McDonald's backing are missed quite a lot although his vocals are so recognisable up front. His vocals on some Steely Dan's records are just so very clever. Oh ill let it slide, it its a great record.

Francis Hylton played bass on this record. He told me via FaceBook and he is my new best friend. 😂

Mono M80 is well worth the £. Well protected for sure. Way more storage than the vertigo. Best bag in the business Imo.

IMO. A Fantastic cover of Christopher Cross's Ride Like the Wind.

I'm a little confused about the range of TC clip on tuners. Seem to vary in price. How many variations are there of the clip on tuners from TC Electronic.? Cheers.

You can buy industrial degreaser from Halfords. Spray the string and scrub with a fine brush or kitchen spong ( hard side). Degreaser strips all the grimE out of the windings. Like new.

Same bass here.

As Lewis said, thats a LongHorn with an added J pup.

His name is Danny and it's Bass Japan Direct.

Im going to/or Ped is going to post his original Funk and Groove thread from 2009. But I think Ped needs a bit of time to embed the original content properly. Lets see. There are some absolute cracking Funk and Groove on it..

Thanks Mick. He showed me music that I hadn't heard before, and his passion for funk and groove, so I pass it on.He would even call me and play me a track he had heard that was cool over the phone. You got to respect where you get your influences from. Especially from such a lovely man.

I've seen him play that bass live. It sounded epic. Link doesn't work for me, but I presume it's Incognito, ColibrI. . ?

Ped.... this bad boy. .
