Enjoyed. I had pretty low expectations, as one might for this kind of thing - old legends coming back to relive their youth, we've seen it's like before. However, they were really good at Download when I caught them; and I'd only heard good things about the live show... perhaps Ozzie was showing his age, but musically they were tight. That probably sums this album up. Ozzie is perhaps the weak spot, and sometimes you're left wondering just how much work they put it into engineering some of the vocals; but the guitars and bass, really tight. Geezer's sound is superb, to my ears anyway. So, yeah, a pretty credible edition to the discography!

Love these. The guy from Torche plays one. Not brave enough to consider one just yet!

Haha, brilliant!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1370543759' post='2102517'] Surely the whole point of playing live is to put on a performance? Otherwise you might as well just have a DJ instead. [/quote] Absolutely. No point complaining the crowd never moves if you won't.

When's the Kingbass due?

[quote name='aende' timestamp='1370944199' post='2107672'] Warwick Fortress, right? [/quote] Rickenbacker, actually, McCartney special.

Very nice, a good acquisition methinks - you never hear a bad word about G&L, they have a superb reputation.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1370939219' post='2107569'] Ringo is good looking? [/quote] In a Picasso fashion, yes?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1370943056' post='2107644'] I'm saying nothing [/quote] Could I not interest sir in a little "I told you so"?

You haven't seen it yet...

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1370875369' post='2106698'] I haven't even got spare strings at the moment! Can't get hold of the set I need. I have one bass, one electric and one acoustic guitar and my POD. That's it. Risky? [/quote] No, as I'm sure I could dig something out to lend you if you lost your bass.

[quote name='AREA' timestamp='1370542346' post='2102488'] Oh "Black Basses"....Here is mine. Human Base Roxy B5 [/quote] Ooh! I like that! Have my own new addition to add. I'll get some shots this week, but it is very definitely black!

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1370880150' post='2106803'] ...and presumably we can take it as read that you would be[i][u] very [/u][/i]favourably disposed towards Audi as a brand when considering any future purchases? [/quote] I have two on the driveway - my nice A6, and Al's old A4. The A4 is due to get replaced in the next year, and you might take a stab at where I'll be going with my cash. I tell you who else people could learn from: [i]Mini. [/i]Very slick, even when cocking it up.

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1370879751' post='2106788'] true, I know at least 2 people who spent years searching the land for the perfect Gibson. My friend Rob waited 6 years before he bought his '74 Les Paul, cos it was the only one he'd found that didn't have an overly chunky neck. It was about 400 quid, this was about 20 years ago though. Talk to Angus Young about SG necks if you have time, he is equally funny about the Gibson neck variations. [/quote] There is no [i]perfect [/i]Gibson - they all have their moments I swear Gibson use a batch production system, with all batches being finished on a Friday afternoon Still,[i]that sound![/i]

I've got my own rehearsal tonight. Hope I come back with half the smile you sound like

Just to be clear, BassTractor, you wouldn't be advocating this form of capture for the purposes, say, of procuring copyrighted material for less than it's current retail value?

Ha, when I managed to, ahem, break my Audi they were superb at fixing it up for me - all under warranty, no questions or issues, thank you sir for being a great customer. They even valeted the thing, and the shop mechanic spent ten mins when handing me the keys telling how great my particular car was. Brilliant, I felt like a million pounds. The best thing? Rupert Stadler never e-mailed me to call me a liar. Caught in the gap between admiring the product, but having no time for John Hall.

I'm somewhere between these two - mainly as it's such a bloody good album (or should that be "albums")!

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1370872306' post='2106634'] I'm wondering if the two words 'signed' and 'unsigned' still mean anything. Perhaps they still do on Basschat! [/quote] Not overly. Perhaps because I'm a salaried type, I've always had the pleasure of just viewing it as "music" - perhaps because I'll never need to earn my crust from it. If it's good, I'll like it. Nothing more. Did spy my iphone was full of demos from random stoner rock bands, just putting out their own stuff to their own standards - and some of it is brilliant, but never going to see!

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1370864292' post='2106428'] For me that's been part of the fun, finding one that suits me. I much prefer my Fireglo '72 to my old '76, but the friend I sold it to much preferred the '76. [/quote] I think I've had it too safe - I mean, one Stingray is much the same as the next, in terms of feel. Some will be heavier, perhaps, but there are a lot of fundamentals.

That 72 is gorgeous, Rich - really is!

Brilliant mate, thrilled for you

Nice, NJ Bich
