Two main bands... a funk/soul covers band: [url="http://www.the-man-from-funkle.com/"]The Man from Funkle[/url] & an originals Rock band, where I can vent my spleen somewhat!.... [url="http://www.myspace.com/tornondesire"]Torn[/url] I'm involved in various other projects including this: [url="http://grooveplanetuk.blogspot.com/"]Groove Planet[/url] & this: [url="http://cerberusmusic.blogspot.com/"]CeRbErUs[/url] I have been known to generally whore it about depping etc... (but these days not so much... )

[quote name='YouMa' post='283485' date='Sep 14 2008, 02:01 AM']I would love to actually talk to someone who had been at space ritual live.Hawkwind were the bollocks! Bass playing reached a certain peak in the 70s.[/quote] +1 to that!.... [b]Space Ritual[/b] was the album that made me wanna pick up a bass!... (Lemmy at his best!) Saw them several times later ('Astounding Sounds' & 'Quark, Strangeness & charm' period......) But there was really only a brief window around the Space Ritual time in their long career, where all the ingredients were right.... I believe it was Roy Estrada & Dave Parlato doing the bass work on 'Zoot Allures' My favourite Zappa albums are 'Sheik Yerbouti', 'Live in New York' & the epic 'Joe's Garage'

[b]Genz Benz neo-pak & Bergantino AE112's[/b]

[i]another useless reply[/i]!.... roughly once a month for me... I'm quite a sweaty bar steward... & play often... When I was an[i] 'angry young man'[/i] , I used to break a lot of strings!... E's mostly! Sometimes do the boiling thing ([i]with a bit of salt &/or vinegar![/i]) ...it gets the zing back but it never lasts as long as from new & they are a little more prone to breaking...

[quote name='5_string_death' post='267088' date='Aug 21 2008, 02:22 PM'] that's what I was thinking, just couldn't remember the name lol and one of me, to put you all to shame because im quite possibly the youngest here, have a guess at my age Was taken at out last gig by a friend who also happened to be doing something or other in photography Zach[/quote] .... Ommmmmm ... ah...wait a minute..... it's coming through now..... by the mystic power of profile viewing ... [b] 14[/b]!? a mere bass playing foetus!... consider me shamed!

^^^I'm still laughing about those pics!..... priceless!.... thankyou!

welcome aboard!....

[quote name='alexclaber' post='258010' date='Aug 8 2008, 12:45 PM']I see Treblerock is no more. What about the place that was opposite it? Also gone? Alex[/quote] Wow!... the place opposite was 'Pro Music'.... now that was a long time ago!

Bristol's never been that good for music shops.... since [i]Sound Control[/i] got their teeth in & blew the smaller places out the water... Electric Ladyland has been going for years in Old market if your looking for vintage instruments Mickelburgh's in Stokes Croft has a Warwick dealership (the Basement) & I guess it's worth checking out what Reverb (ex sound control) has to offer in it's clearance sale...

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='248926' date='Jul 27 2008, 02:49 PM']I doubt there are many that will be able to give a real world comparison of these cabs and most of us will probably extol the virtues of the cabs that we have [/quote] .... I'm liking me new Berg AE112's ....to my [i]biased[/i] ears it covers "a great deep smooth sound but still with enough detail" perfectly!... & god... it's so nice not breaking out in a sweat carting them up & down me stairs on a hot gigging day!

[quote name='Tengu' post='241308' date='Jul 16 2008, 10:19 PM']Finally got some pictures of my rig that don't suck. I tend to use just the 2x10 for most gigs, just adding the 15 when I need some extra volume. I'm sure that the talk of phase cancellation etc is correct but I still like the sound I get from this set-up. I always DI the head into the PA so what the audience hears is dependant on that anyway.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='240658' date='Jul 16 2008, 10:01 AM']Hi Folks, Just bought a Peavey T-Max head from Dave, better known around here as 'bottomfeed'. All in all, it was a completely hassle-free transaction; the amp's great and exactly as described, well packaged up and Dave's a really easy person to deal with.. So am happy to recommend him to fellow Basschatters when buying/selling gear on the Forum. But on top of all that, he somehow managed to get Parcelfarce to deliver the amp to me in 24 hrs instead of the 48 hr service I paid for, which was amazing! Thanks Dave! Nik[/quote] Well thank you kindly sir!.... Glad the T-Max arrived safely.... & all is well with it Parcel-Farce may have delivered the goods promptly ..... but their idea of an AM pick up was 8pm!!!

[quote name='Galilee' post='237399' date='Jul 11 2008, 03:49 PM']Which begs a question. If her grandfather is John Paul Jones....[/quote] Yup.... Grandpa actually is JPJ!.... funny thing is, I taught her '7th nation army' - white stripes... which she picked up very quickly...(she really does have potential!.... & only 10 years old!) with emphasis on playing the G/A bridge with alternating 'walking fingers' of the right hand & she came back after seeing grandpa.... & said... 'grandpa gave me a tip about playing that'..... .'Oh yes... I say, '& what was that?' 'he said I could play that bit with one finger if it was easier!....' well.... what can I say?! ha!.....

[quote name='Funkmaster' post='237348' date='Jul 11 2008, 02:49 PM']LOL - I thought I'd seen this topic before! Still gives me a chance to tell this story again! I'd snap one up if I saw one again too. Where do those old bases go. You go into music shops and there's any amount of old guitars - but where are the bases? David[/quote] OMG!!!!....

"This bass guitar is about thirty years old and hard to find in good condition.Everything is in full working order and the adjustable action is very playable.It would be perfect as a starter bass guitar,or for more professional use in the studio for that 70's large single coil sound....." [b]'professional!?'.... 'Studio use!!???'... 'the adjustable action is very [i]playable[/i]'????!!!!? [/b] .... WTF!?! LOL!

Isn't there one of these already?!... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22006&st=40&p=225802&#entry225802"]Here[/url] ah well.... the more the merrier!... copy/paste.... etc... Yes... the Jedson bass.... a short scale pile of w@nk! .....but it looked kinda cute!

A young student of mine gave me one of her grandpa's plectrums as a present recently!.... [b]JPJ[/b] ! (if anyone wants [i]slightly[/i] cheaper memorabilia than the rig at Christie's... I may consider selling!... )
