  1. Gimme Some Money - Spinal Tap
  2. Get thee to a prog band!
  3. We all have favourite albums and favourites tracks from them. But what is your favourite sequence of 3 songs from an album? Not just your favourite 3 from an album, but 3 consecutive songs. Mine are Manhattan Project -> Marathon -> Territories, from Rush's 'Power Windows'. They're great songs anyway, but the three together are just a stunning combination. Over to you, BC Massive.
  4. I meant, why is it turned facing the audience.
  5. The only basses of mine that have anything approaching names are Jayray (because that's what it is... a 'Ray with a fretless Jaydee neck) and Skabass (because, errm, that's what it is... a 2-tone themed thing). All the others have names like 'the Spector' and 'the Shuke' and 'the Wal'.
  6. I Quit - Bros
  7. £65 inc. postage. Bank transfer or PayPal goods/services. Alternatively, pop round and pick them up for cash. I'm told I make good tea. EMG 35HZ Passive 4 String Bass Pickup pair. Taken from a Spector Q4. EMG say: "Part of EMG's HZ Extended Series line, the 35HZ, with its modern appearance is actually a product of 30+ years of design experience This passive model features a dual-coil design for low noise and plenty of output. Using EMG's "CS" design (Ceramic and Steel), the resulting tone is much warmer as a result of the higher inductance of the steel, and thus has a smoother attack and a flatter high end. All of the HZ bass models feature solid bar magnets that cover the entire width of the strings so any string layout can be used. This model uses an extended housing that is 3.5 inches (89mm), perfect for four string spacing’s. From classic rock to heavy metal this pickup performs." Working perfectly and in very good physical condition with no obtrusive marks. Plenty of length in the cables, cores ready for stripping and tinning. Wiring instructions can be found at the product webpage: https://www.emgpickups.com/35hz.html They can be coil-tapped, very effectively. Adds a different colour to the ol' tonal palette. Pickup fixing screws included, but no other hardware.
  8. OK, I would be intrigued to know why.
  9. A few posts have been hidden pending admin investigation. Nothing has been deleted.
  10. Or in other words, there's a difference of opinion.
  11. Popularity ≠ talent.
  12. Hell yes. People slag off 80s music but it was an amazing decade for bass.
  13. A Tune Bass Maniac or one of its Bass Collection clones would work well too. Lighter than an Aria but still a real 80s vibe.
  14. Nutmeg City Limits - Ike & Tina
  15. Good list, not too much slap on there at all. Do you have any keyboard ability? Some of those are crying out for a bit of synth bass. Pick up a cheap Novation and away you go.
  16. Sweet Relief - Madison Beer
  17. Ring My babyBel - Anita Ward
  18. Edam I Wish I Was Your Lover - Sophie B Hawkins
  19. No worries, there was plenty of great non-slap stuff in the 80s. A wealth of wonderful material. (Can you tell that the 80s are my favourite decade? )
  20. Milkman of Human Kindness - Billy Bragg
  21. Or in other words, a Friday evening in Chewton Mendip.
  22. Fantastic news. Here, have a 'Well Done' Werther's.
  23. Denim and Leather - Saxon
  24. Keys needed to complete the core of our resurrected progject. Songs in the mix are things like Fear Of A Blank Planet and The Sound Of Muzak (both Porcupine Tree), Ghosts (It Bites), Day & Age (Frost*), Turn It On Again (Genesis), etc. Give me a shout if you are, or know someone who might be, interested. Thanks
