[quote name='dc2009' post='1311031' date='Jul 21 2011, 12:12 AM']Ditto, and I have to wait until 6th august[/quote] Only 11 hours now! So excited i barely slept so planning a nap before the show!

Stupidly excited now

[quote name='dc2009' post='1310696' date='Jul 20 2011, 07:10 PM']I hope you get to see them too. I genuinely wonder if they soundcheck their own instruments nowadays![/quote] Well on the Flight 666 dvd they do so i'm hoping for the best, I wish i knew someone who worked at the venue then i could get an idea if they would be there and if so when... I know i sound worryingly obssessed but i haven't been this excited since seeing Mr Big! (My 3rd Favourite band just behind Iron Maiden)

[quote name='thumbo' post='1308909' date='Jul 19 2011, 10:57 AM']Exactly! Deep Impacts have a unique sound, but the hype has just got ridiculous now. The reason I've been watching them is because I've been thinking of selling mine. The convenience of having a synth pedal on the floor has become far outweighed by how much better my Micro Korg sounds.[/quote] I'll give you a tenner for it

[quote name='dc2009' post='1310211' date='Jul 20 2011, 12:28 PM']If I had to guess, they'll stay in London (or at their respective homes) and be flown/heli'd in.[/quote] I hope they stay in Aberdeen! They are playing glasgow tonight, will finish late, and i'm guessing they'd sound check in aberdeen a good few hours before the show, Going to hang about a while before the show to see if i at least get a glimps!

[quote name='malcolm.mcintyre' post='1310216' date='Jul 20 2011, 12:36 PM']Can't resist the name drop. I've met them all quite a few times over the years, stayed in the same hotels and have even stood side of stage at Hammersmith during a gig. Nice guys.[/quote] [quote name='farmer61' post='1310221' date='Jul 20 2011, 12:39 PM']Ahem claim to fame alert.......... I gave Steve Harris a lift from Aston Villa's training ground to the NEC in 2000 ish! I even referred the Maiden XI v Aston Villa Stewards match earlier in the afternoon......! Got back stage and met Bruce & Nico......! Sorry every chance I have I have to tell my one and only claim to fame(ish)[/quote] Hopefully after tomorrow i will be able to say i've met them too! I stayed in the same hotel as Anathema after their verona gig with Dream Theater (which i sadly missed!) and hung out for a bit and had breakfast with them and they kept asking me about my orchestra stuff i was quite chuffed, but their no Maiden!

If anyone catched word of where they are staying give us a shout! (I know, i know! I sound mad, but it will be a dream to meet them IN ABERDEEN!) Anyone know if they'll be around by know? (I'm like a kid on christmas )

I'm on (yes this will sound sad!) FULL MAIDEN ALERT! As i neeed to meet them, i met Anathema in a hotel in Italy a few weeks ago and meeting Maiden would fufill a fantasy! And thats 2 of my biggest inspirations in one summer! If you guys see anything (you aberdeen folks!) Contact me asap!

I'm kind of worried, as at the AECC people do stupid things and go crazy and 'mosh' etc all the time for no reason and basically ignore the music! And that is somethign Maiden HATE BUT i know the music will be great! Just listened to the whole new album again So happy and excited!

[quote name='woodyratm' post='1308689' date='Jul 19 2011, 12:36 AM']Will see you there dude! Also a mate of mine has 3 tickets to sell if you've any mates who want to go. PM me and i'll pass details on (since i don't know them yet!)[/quote] Awesome! Hopefully see you around, (probably not going to recognise as, well obviously haha) Thanks! I'll ask around! SO EXCITED! My brother has seen them twice, and everytime i see live videos i get giddy Going with my brother as me mum insisted i be safe but ah well! Should be great!

Hey Guys! I'm seeing Iron Maiden in my home city of Aberdeen on Thursday! I'm stupidly excited like a small kid on christmas, i've barely slept in the last few days, though i'm forcing myself too so i can fully enjoy the show! I've been wanting to Iron Maiden for about 3/4 years since i really got into them and when my brother saw them and he told me about the show, I've watched so many live clips, and Flight 666 about 10 times and i'm stupidly excited! Sorry to waste space with this, but i've been wanting to see them so much Steve harris is one of the main reasons i play bass, if not the strongest reason for me picking it up instead of guitar! Anyone seen them on this tour? (i've probably missed a thread on this BUT hey don't tread on my moment ) Probably won't get any pictures or anything but i'll have a great time i can promise you! I'm hanging around town tomorrow/thursday to meet them as it would pretty much make my year!

[quote name='MarkNS4' post='1308634' date='Jul 18 2011, 11:32 PM']well the bartolinis i have just now are active and as of late i`ve realised bartolini isn`t the sound im wanting ive heard some clips of the kent armstrongs pups (which are passive) wired without an internal preamp and on their own they sound ridiculously good ill stick up some pics of the bass before i start drilling etc thanks[/quote] Link to those Kent Armstrong pickup clips? Sounds like a nice "mod" diary! Any chance of any sound clips now for a before and after? I'll be keeping a close eye on this!

[quote name='MarkNS4' post='1308380' date='Jul 18 2011, 08:31 PM']thanks alot man, nice to see it went well, would love to hear how it sounded and see it in action but oh well thanks[/quote] I was gonna buy it! But i have no money, and i'd rather have a GTBD-7 / Get a custom built 7 He hasn't been on in a while, but there are some sound clips up somewhere, though they may have been taken down?

[quote name='fender73' post='1304615' date='Jul 15 2011, 12:06 PM']Steve Vai at the Astoria 2001 (?)[/quote] Billys singing and playing on the opener is KILLER. I can play the whole bass part (the verse is actually dead simple, but my word is the backing part to the solo hard!) one of my favourite live things, of all time! That plus 2009 Back to Budokan, meant alot to me and i saw the london 12th september show the day before my birthday! Muse HAARP, and a few more but i can't remember names off the top of my head!

[quote name='Stuart Clayton' post='1307461' date='Jul 18 2011, 09:27 AM']Thanks for the nice words about the book guys. You won't be able to get this book on Amazon. Amazon will list anything with a barcode and claim they can get it from you, but at the end of the day, they have to order it from me! As they take all of the profit out of any sales made through them, I chose not to supply them. The book is only available via www.basslinepublishing.com. I am currently working on the e-book version, which you will be able to get on iBooks, kindle etc in the near future. There is an e-book version on Kindle at the moment, but it is not quite perfect and I will be replacing it this week. Stuart[/quote] Hey Stuart! When will the John Entwistle book be back? Also, rather tempted to get the solo arrangements one just so i can get the Space dyed vest one on your site

[quote name='MarkNS4' post='1307384' date='Jul 18 2011, 06:08 AM']What ever happened with this?[/quote] Well 3 years on quite a bit haha, He did it all, and then put it up for sale a few months ago, not sure if it sold or not and i think i may have been de-fretted? Or someone suggested he try that anyway! Try a search as it was up for sale! [quote name='chrismuzz' post='1307401' date='Jul 18 2011, 07:41 AM'][/quote] +1 haha! Edit: There you go, as i'm such a nice guy [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112543&hl=Conklin"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=Conklin[/url]

I'd say it was worth it ONLY if it would get it just the way you wanted and it would be a long term keeper, selling it on there is no way you'd make a profit, and even if you did it would be small (I think so anyway! Could be wrong,) Though doing it up to sell on and spending over the orginal cost of the bass? Too much i think!

Maybe something with a tube in it like the EBS valve drive? Would keep warmth and would be able to add small smudges of drive

Anyone got any clips or sound bites or videos of one of these in action? I really went off the ampeg sound for a while but this might draw me back in...

[quote name='Robert Manning' post='1291611' date='Jul 3 2011, 10:59 PM'] I'm a teenager [/quote] How (the gear not the age ) I've heard your band before i think!

[quote name='blind pilot' post='1302979' date='Jul 13 2011, 10:41 PM']But could it not also be a fact that the Wal can do precision tone?[/quote] I think this may have been overlooked?

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' post='1306257' date='Jul 16 2011, 10:46 PM']Thanks, I appreciate it and give us a link to your bass track, I'll point Alberto to it, after all he is a member of this forum too. [/quote] I will as soon as it's finished thanks GW, though i'm having trouble working it all out but hopefully it's right
