[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1323191357' post='1460401']I'd love to see/hear more here - any decent youtube links of fave tracks? [/quote] For some reason the html codes for youtube clips aren't working - is this because the site changed? So can't post any fav tracks but here's some links [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il-ecXPLVJA&feature=related[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvJ-lWOZMYg[/media]

Gary, I'm just chuffed this thread got a reply! I thought it was going to die a similar death to my "What's your favourite Uncle Tupelo b-side?"

...but Shonna Tucker appears to have left the band She was my favourite bassist of recent years too [url="https://www.facebook.com/drivebytruckers"]https://www.facebook.com/drivebytruckers[/url]

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1323110712' post='1459465'] Milk away, Sir. I played some of your band's output to my guitar-chum, who remarked "Ooh. [i]Nice[/i] rhythm section. Proper for that sort of stuff." [/quote] Cheers, Andy is a great drummer & with Americana it's usually the guitars / vocals that get the glory. Neither of us have been mentioned in the reviews for our playing (yet) - usually a sign that we're doing our job. [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1323124139' post='1459669'] Good Stuff. Props to ya. Are you planning to play locally anywhere? I have a feeling I'm just round the corner from you. [/quote] Ta. We play all over the UK but 2012 is definitely in need of being populated with some gigs. Watch this space, I guess

I think daphne blue or surf green look great on Fender basses with rosewood

The 50s P bass would be my choice but the standards (MIM & USA) are both decent right now

Milking this thread with a 2 minute follow up piece on CBS the next day [url="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390432n&tag=mncol;lst;1"]http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390432n&tag=mncol;lst;1[/url]

Playing the old Marquee Club in London back in the day, recording my last album & having heroes of mine see my band (& like us). It's all good

I quite like those 60s chrome stacked ones but to be fair prefer to stick with tradition

[quote name='stonecoldbass' timestamp='1323033260' post='1458562'] Nice one mate! Is Pete a Scot?? [/quote] Yes, he's from Elgin originally but lived here since the 80s. We're from the Thames Valley area but the drummer was born in Scotland too & I have a lot of family roots up there too. I don't think we have any Welsh roots in the band Rhys unfortunately

Don't know the show or watch TV and McFly probably aren't aiming their music at me but I would say the guys in McFly are all much better musicians than people give them credit for. Don't care if that's not cool, they are all reasonable musicians

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1323020760' post='1458374'] well I started listening to that and thought "you're right what is this music" but by the end I was annoyed that they were chatting over the top of it.... it sounds good- have you got a link to your myspace/bandcamp/whatever? [/quote] The new album plays here [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Every-Dirty-Mirror-Case-Hardin/dp/B005J4NY3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1323021561&sr=1-1"]http://www.amazon.co...23021561&sr=1-1[/url] but we're on all the sites you'd expect - Itunes, bandcamp, myspace (rip) etc - Not a hint to buy, by the way! [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1323020907' post='1458379'] Great stuff - but isn't it typical how most of the band shots managed to exclude the bass player! [/quote] I'm not normally to be fair but was a bit unlucky on the cutaways they used there

Exposure doesn't get much better than 5 mins on national TV in the US. Really a feature on the singer but we all appear [url="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390313n"]http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390313n[/url] Even if you don't like our music we have some interesting characters in the band

Wow, always wanted one like that. Very cool

I used to own a USA 60th anniversary P-bass. Nice bass, I sold it on through this site as part of my major kit cull. The reality is there are so many reasons for why every (Fender) bass could be limited edition that it hardly impacts on price. Fender have so many little tweaks here & there it makes little difference. Sounds like you have a nice bass so I'd enjoy it for what it is but don't expect the resale value to rocket

I used to use 40-100 but over the last few years I've opted either 55-115 or 50-110. Nothing a bit of practice won't allow you to adjust towards and a definite improvement. I'd imagine much harder for the really showy playing but great for general usage

They're a truly great band, all good players. I'm seeing them at Moles in Bath just before Christmas and have high expectations. Probably my favourite new band in years

I managed 3 bands at once for a while on top of a busy stressful job. It probably led to the break up of my marriage but it can be done. I kept them very separate - people don't want your other project forced on them. Be open but then keep it low key. I was up front at the start & people genuinely forgot - I had people at the end say "I didn't know you had another band" when I'd mentioned it when I met them originally. More recently I've thought about a 2nd project again but to be honest my life is too full with other stuff away from music. I will do jams & stand ins etc though

I am on here a LOT less than I used to be but put it down to a change in me rather than a change in the site. I enjoy myself when I'm on here but it tends to be 10 mins every couple of days rather than spending half my evening every night on here. Off topic aside I guess there is only so much time you can spend re visiting "Fender vs Warwick", "Are Rotosound rubbish?" and the usual threads. Great fun first time around but once your opinion has been shared I guess people start to know where you stand. After all I guess only so much can be said about the bands we like and the gear we play. You wouldn't have the same debate with your friends over and over again. Let the new posters have fun with the topics I've debated So personally I'm off doing a bunch of other stuff but having a genuinely renewed interest when I do come on here.

I too would box around the number but to be fair if you are spraying the neck it'll impact on resale value anyway. That said it's a modern MIM Fender, not a 1951 original so you gotta do what you want to enjoy it.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1321973785' post='1444974'] I use a car not the tube. [/quote] Me too. I only use the tube if I'm not taking an amp. I'm from the other side of Reading but I'd say London is the town we play the most

I think the answers so far about cover it. I prefer the bass to act in support but that doesn't suit every genre or every band

As Nigel Tufnel once said, "I'm a professional, I'll rise above it"

I haven't wanted new kit for AGES. It started slowing about 2yrs ago & it probably needed too. It ground to a halt at the start of this year and I've had no interest in new kit all year. I can't see it changing either.

The body is looking great. I stripped my main Precision & it really helped me bond with the instrument
