Dave Swift's one is here - yummy . https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/sadowsky-nyc-p5

Jimmy Dewar had one of the greatest male rock voices of all time - just my opinion . Just epic

I learnt this finally for a dep the other month ; and that middle bit is a real finger twister, and I found it difficult at proper speed - still unsure about it . Had a run through with the guitarist/good mate a few days before , to be told that they miss that bit out completely - he he

Higher and Higher is the same for me too - not in itself tricky , but my left hand always aches by the end . Keep the Faith - used to play this years ago , but like a lot of players , I tend to 'rake' moving down across the strings . This makes it a bit trickier than it should .

I don't understand how a pub gig can be cancelled , whilst the said pub , decides to stay open .

Then they should check out some of the lesser known album tracks - delve in with headphones and soak it up .

My opinion , is that Benny and Bjorn are ahead of Lennon and McCartney , in crafting perfect pop songs . Some of them are perfect

I know a few local bands who've booked out The Apex . Worked quite well - just need a massive promotion to make sure that you don't lose the cost of hiring it .

Ipswich has quite a few good music pubs . The Black Horse is a regular for us , but it has been slightly quieter this last 6 months - Landlady said it has been across the board . Might be a blip Pete - who knows

He he . Last compression thread didn't end up well with him

Do you think that Vail Johnson is going to post?

Why do they keep making them with 20 frets? Only the 5 string has 21 . I know it's hardy a deal breaker for many , but always thought it was strange

"We can't hear you at the back . Can you turn up?" "Oh go on then"

My Powerhouse 412 came this afternoon - it's big he he . Just a tad bigger than the Eden 610 , but somehow feels a lot bigger . Won't fit in the under stairs cupboard , where the 610 just about squeezes through the door - 412 is about a cm wider - so has to go in the garage with the bass bins from the PA . I can say though , that the fit and finish of these Boogie cabs are second to none - absolutely top notch . It's probably going to be a cab that will only be used 3/4 times a year , but I can live with that . Wife wasn't pleased at the size of it , but realistically , buying a couple of BF 410's is out of my price range at the moment , and probably for years , if ever .

They're all gone now I think - apart from the more pricey ones , with the tolex case . What's it sound like?

Just hit the button on the 412 Powerhouse - it's Christmas after all . Easier than I thought , getting the OK for it . Was gonna go lightweight again , but this is far cheaper he he

I have the 751 , but always wanted a M9 too - I think it's got the same 'slam', but not so tubey sounding (as per Talkbass stuff) . M9 is roughly a third of the price , and now only the one left - I think there were 3 or 4 the other day . These prices have definitely made a lot of people think . I'm still hovering over the 412 - do I need it? Then I thought that if I sold the 751 , I could justify an M9 , plus the 412 . These are real 3rd world problems , but that page is so bl**dy tempting

I just refuse to play sh*tholes like this now - as do the band , and frankly anyone who I've depped with over the last couple of years . I mean you get the odd tricky load in , but some of the ones that I've read here ... I just wouldn't bother . Perhaps I'm in the minority?

I really wish I hadn't seen this

Even though it's deemed a 'forgotten album' , I'm still a fan of Dave Navarro's playing
