I've bought from that seller before.... twice! My parts were a great deal cheaper & in much better shape. Go figure!?

Clothed Naked

To some bands the tone AND image has to be a certain thing. I've never been told what to play but I'm afraid I've imposed my tastes on other band members

[quote name='janmaat' timestamp='1313399036' post='1340364'] Was joking in the band practise, the more members in the band the less costs pP for the rehearsal room. Obviously the other way round once you get paid gigs - that's when it's time to get rid of some. What's the ideal number of players to a band to you? [/quote] I guess the trick is to rehearse up your 10 piece soul band but go out as a solo artist!?! A 3 piece is too many if one of the band is an idiot but generally I seem to be in 4 or 5 piece bands

Following the recent death of Levon Helm, I see Chris Ethridge had also been ill [url="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120420191330AAAb1s5"]http://answers.yahoo...20191330AAAb1s5[/url] Reports online suggest he has now died.

If you are worried a cheap modification is changing the valves to retro harma ones which delays the break up as the volume goes up. It's what I use

I've played with them on for about 15yrs now. I guess they took an adjustment but now it's second nature. It's for the pose though and in no way enhances my playing

Why is everything "collectible" these days? I saw a few similar items in plenty of skips back in the 80s. That looks like it was fished out of one of those skips! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it could be fun to do up but not everything is a lost classic

Can you play sober? Honestly, we try not to!

Drums as my Dad was an ex pro drummer so at the tender age of 8 I figured I'd be a natural. Unfortunately I was rubbish so left it a few years and picked up on bass in my teens. I now play a bit of mandolin, fair guitar and can blag it on a couple of other instruments (lap steel, banjo & harmonica) to varying degrees. Bass is home though

You can but if you play live they usually just go through the PA

Pretty much agree with Loz. I've had nothing but good experiences but I put the homework in and walked away if my gut instinct said it was a howler. And the one time it did go wrong (just remembered) I paid with paypal so had no issues there either. I dread to think how many I bought & sold during my GAS years

I'm pleased I started this thread as I don't feel such a muppet now - I'm in good (bad) company it would seem!

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1333306573' post='1599860'] The Danelectro DC is well known for being a fantastic sounding cheapie. The body is some kind of hardboard composite and the bridge is barely adjustable. Really fun to play aswell. They were everywhere (in stores) when they were reissued in 99/2000. Lots of people must have them. [/quote] Beat me to it! I did a session around 99 / 2000 on Andy Lewis (Paul Weller Band)'s Dano Longhorn and it was one of the easiest great tones I got. I had to adapt my style to pick playing but what a great piece of kit. Not sure if it's considered cheap but I seem to be favouring a sub £500 Hofner live at the moment. There sure are a lot of great cheap instruments out there

Can't believe in 23yrs of gigging I did this; arrived at the venue to soundcheck and started unpacking. I took the cab out of it's flight case and put my Orange Terror head on top. It then dawned on me I'd forgotten my leads bag! The head takes Speakon too so I was stuffed. The soundman didn't have one & the guys in my band hadn't even heard of Speakon. The support was an acoustic solo act. Of course I didn't even have a jack to jack or kettle lead either. D'oh! We're done so many kit shares and acoustic sets recently I don't think I'd taken my own rig since last November. I wound up going through the PA via a borrowed lead and fashioned a passable sound but genuinely can't believe it didn't occur. Has anyone bettered that? Forgotten your bass?

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1333311218' post='1599962'] Beat me to it - have you heard this version - recorded just before his death with all the melancholy of the lyrics coming through: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDcaydHVliM[/media] [/quote] Yes! Love his solo stuff. Not such a big fan of what his daughter has said about him since his death

my 78 P-bass had little damage, one owner from new which was a lady in Portsmouth. I reckon it saw home use only. Since sold it on and my 2 70s remaining basses are so heavily modded with parts I expect collectively they'd tell more stories than Jackanory!

[quote name='yorick' timestamp='1332873803' post='1594327'] Orange Terror Bass and an SP210 cab, now there's old skool [/quote] Oh yes

All good reports from me; I've seen both Floyd Pepper with the Open Soul Band and Loz196 play with The Daves a few times. And YEARS ago seen Linus27 when our old bands played together. Had a few BCers at the Case Hardin shows too

I have one that is now quite genuinely buried in North Watford Cemetery. Long story but it was a musician who died. In terms of the bass; A lot of bang for your buck I recall, but the body was heavy as hell
