Does anyone know which breed of dog it is that will actually be able to tell the difference?

Courtesy of Basschat came these excellent recommendations; [media='']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-zgdGQB4S4&feature=related[/media] [media='']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcCZVzKXR-0&feature=related[/media] Might not be to most of your tastes but it's 100% me

I'm in the quietest band I've ever been in and I'm always guided by soundmen / venues, purely on the grounds they *should* know their venue & client base. I agree with the majority of the comments posted thus far

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1317057824' post='1386156'] Why would you be selling a bass? Sorry don't understand the question... ;-) [/quote] You've obviously not got divorced then? Most of mine have gone now but life is too short for regrets

I've been playing with the covers on since the 1990s and I don't reckon there is any tonal difference to speak of. Just a question of taste. I think it looks good & I've been doing it so long that I don't feel they get in the way. And I reckon 1982 would be about right

We have deps for all of us that are rehearsed up & ready to go should the worst happen. We pay them more but as has been said, the show must go on

I flightcased my cab so I now just stick the cab on the flightcase when we gig. Job done

I sell on stuff if it doesn't get played. I've only ever owned stuff I really like so it requires being a little ruthless at times. Right now I am back down to 4 basses and that figure wont be getting higher. My GAS days are over and I prefer spending money on other things now. It was fun whilst it lasted though

I'm No 1 in my Mum's eyes & that's all that matters

People can of course do whatever they want. I think the reality is that when the hard times hit (& life is after all a series of highs and lows) it's the duplicates that go. I have 2 Precisions now but at my peak had 5. I probably wouldn't bother with several of the same model again but it was good fun whilst it lasted.

I had a bunch of Warwick cases about 5yrs ago and they were always really good, well made and reliable. They were cheaper than that too so assume that is a deluxe case

Pete in action - and yes he is a left hooker, not a mirror image photo

As per my PM - see pic

I've got some from a 62RI Fender USA Jazz that I'd sell on for £22 if you are interested? No worries if not - bought them on here and they were only ever used briefly for a project bass I sold for parts

Oh & bizarrely my picture is on the wall above the bar - during my Glam / Sleaze days, a casual shot of my guitarist and I outside the Marquee Club. Very strange. I remember someone taking it at the time - just a random stranger!

Relax, be yourself and just enjoy. Best of luck

We're going to bin our MySpace soon which is around 5000 fans as it's just awful. Facebook is better although I think we only have 300 - 400 fans. It's people who (mainly) want to be there though, rather than promote their own thing. So again I don't think it's about numbers

BigRedX makes a valid point about how up for it the crowd are. Smallest - 3 plus pub staff (twice!) Largest - about 900

Nobody has said the root note! Do we really have favourite notes? I mean, really?

I played there a bunch of times between 2004-7. I can only echo what has already been said. It's a good venue & a nice show but I doubt you'll be collecting stories to share with grandchildren from the night

I think "mate of the shop owner" best sums me up. I hang around the store, get given coffee, chat for a while but refer people to the shop & have spent a lot in the past. In other shops I don't really care how I'm seen. My buying gear days are over now and I rarely go in

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1351557' date='Aug 25 2011, 05:23 PM']Because I have taste.[/quote] Ah, a 2 colour sunburst man! or possibly not?!?

I've owned (past tense) two basses worth just shy of £1600 and I was scared to play them out live too much. The £600 - £800 range seems to meet my needs in terms of quality verses not being too upset if they get knocked or dented. It's hard justifying the expensive ones when times get tight too I've always said owning an instrument is a hugely personal thing so whether you are rocking a sub £100 bass or spending £5k, so long as you are enjoying it, fair play to you
