BassTool

Well, got to say we - and a full house at the beautiful Sage - had a great night, band were superb particularly the new young drummer - megga and super tight playing to click (barring the last few songs where his cans came off and they really let rip) and the rest of the band were bang on. Jumping with a crowd that appeared to stun the band with the reception they got throughout the night, and a nice touch taking the time to shake hands with everyone they could down the front when they came on, and then again at the end for a good five minutes - 30 years in the business and still savvy enough to remember who put them there in their heyday and beyond, easy enough to do, but a trick missed by many Mind you - the alternative thread on here is proving almost as entertaining Perhaps Mark King will be sitting in his big house counting his cash, surrounded by all his top guitars and gear wondering how he can appease all the hatred for him, his playing style, and his awful tone according to some Basschat members... ....or maybe not

Leaving the house in 15 mins to meet my mates for a curry and beers, then on to the magnificent Sage to see Level 42. Fortunate to get seats very close to the front, long time since I last saw Mark King - Billingham Forum ages ago - looking forward to it. Anyone going?

Been similar postings on here before and I passed my tip on somewhere else on here but it works well. To get that string totally clean try half a dishwasher tablet in a pan of boiling water and boil up till the scum from the string rises to the top, reboil in clean water and rinse under the cold tap and dry with kitchen towel. Almost better than new and great if you have no replacements at hand and are desperate to refresh what you have!

Amazing what turns up on here I watched this after falling asleep on the settee and waking to find it on at about 2.30am I was well impressed with this guy and I too wondered what the bass was. Great player and the producer did indeed do him justice, great band and great singers too!

So I've defretted this neck, with some instruction and guidance from Jon.

I just need a bit of reconstruction and then its ready![/quote] Swot Looks megga that Chris!
