  1. [quote name='jd2112' timestamp='1488157816' post='3246429'] That's Will Lee playing bass [/quote] He is one of my bass heroes
  2. I have the album in my collection, great album. My favorite is Donalds Solo of the Nightfly
  3. [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1488148782' post='3246365'] Wow, i would be so disappointed if i went to see SD and it wasn't the amazing Steely dan. I assume it was a back of the house problem.? [/quote] we had missed the show in 74 because they cancelled. and we waited another 20 odd years to get the opportunity to see what was one of my favorite bands of all time. I went up with a bunch of friends/musicians and sat at the side of the hall towards the back. The sound was awfull and made worse because we got a sound reflection off the back wall about a second after we heard it the first time. Considering they were so particular and achieved such clarity and quality in their recordings we were hoping for a good live sound which we just didnt get. Although it didnt really bother me, in that 20 odd years they had become far more jazzy/ if thats the right word, Walter played guitar, I cant remember if there was a second guitar, but we were hoping for some of those biting solos from the earlier albums, but it sounded more like jazz noodling to me than reelin in the years It was extremely disappointing, and I guess we had built our expectations up to a level that would have been difficult to achieve. .
  4. [quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1487941750' post='3244389'] Thanks B5, Always been a Dan fan, but went severley off them after paying good money to watch them destroy all my favourite songs at Wembly Arena circa 1996, ( I had to walk out). [/quote] You and me, and the 6 guys with me all left early, bitterly disappointed, promising to shoot the sound man if we ever found out who he was.
  5. Is it a Sterling or a Stingray, A stingray doesn't fit in a sterling case
  6. thats a beautiful bass.i had one a few years ago, I wish I had kept it. Have a bump
  7. This used to be mine, its a great amp, gigable for small venues. I used to do gigs with this and a mini 4x8 sounded great.
  8. I bought a fender 4x10 neo from them a couple of years ago, very good price no surprises, nicely packed. Unfortunately, some of the covering was lifted, and they offered me no hassle return, or a discount. I was planning on having it recovered anyway so I got some money back.
  9. My wife has insinuated I am making no effort to sell this bass so a bump to the top [how dare she?]
  10. How on earth did you blow all 4 speakers. Synergy told me a few years ago they had never had to replace a piranha speaker, so it sounds extreme, Anyway, I agree I have never had to send my PJB back to Synergy for repairs but I had some great advice over the phone. And PJB gear is fantastic
  11. It weighs just under 9 lbs on my scales. Unfortunately this, as do all the other basses I have ever known, does occasionally produce a note that is not how the composer intended. Usually accompanied with with a smug smile from the other side of the stage. I have tried new strings, amps, straps, and the only thing that seems to help is if I practise, and avoid letching, I mean looking at some of the members of the audience.
