Less than hour to go and it is under offer.....

Ending this evening - shortly before 7.30.

What a cracking post - thanks The Funk. Even had some classic "Bass Faces" going on!

Finishes tomorrow (Monday) just before 7.30.

Welcome to the forum Billy (we worked on Curved Air together for a while)! Mike Howell

I use them the opposite of most of the other posts - in slower numbers to get that laid back, almost lazy, blues feel - Need Your Love So Bad for example.

Bill Black, 39, brain tumour. I'm thinking of reverting to gu**ar

Starting at a very low price IMHO - really need to get my hands on something else being advertised on BC - go on, help two of us out [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160428705662&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url]

[quote name='JTUK' post='819029' date='Apr 26 2010, 10:46 AM']Dunno..but old men in vests....???? FFS...!! Watched a 70th birthday for John Mayall..which was surprisingly good as it happens...and JM wore a vest... WTF..!!!![/quote] Great show - was the highlight of my career in the music biz putting that together - couldn't top it so now I garden for a living!! The rest of the Bluesbreakers were mortified when he went on stage in what they referred to as "the Wifebeater", and even Mrs Mayall couldn't get him to put something more respectable on!

[quote name='chris_b' post='818012' date='Apr 25 2010, 12:47 PM']Of course he wasn't. Sounds like Dave Edmunds on guitar and Nick Lowe playing bass on the track. The band are miming, as everyone did on TOTP.[/quote] Like the OP, I love this track - I'm pretty sure it is not the original version as I think the last couple of bars gave been changed (not just the fact that the clip ends abruptly). Also, clothes wise, at least he's made more effort than the guitarist with that weird and huge looking Burns thing standing next to him.

Quincy Jones , Duke Ellington, and having heard "This Guy's In Love With You" this afternoon, Bacharach & David.

In honour of Spoombung being such a Gent and bowing out of the Overwater/Tanglewood thread I thought I'd give this thread a timely bump!

Hi Spoombung & BigRedX, I really understand, and support your opinions on having less conservative designs, there really should be room for more weird and wonderful. But as one of you admitted, one of your previous forays into the murky world of capitalism didn't work out. How about setting up a new, seperate thread on bass design rather than raining on Overwater's parade and let us dullards support them in what should be a really great commercial venture for a well respected bass company? Cheers, Mike

[quote name='Kohpnyn' post='811612' date='Apr 19 2010, 06:05 PM']I get the impressions that 'feel' is one of those words that just means 'something I like'. So here's my contribution:[/quote] I do think there's a little more to it than that - great choice by the way. Like my example of Papa Was A Rolling Stone - OK, its 4 notes, we can all play it but keeping it sweet for 6+ minutes. To me, it is when there's no real virtuosity or no incredible groove going but the tone, timing and relationship to the music are just right. (Sorry, I'm getting to sound pretentious here)

So, did you ever get one?

Missed such an obvious one - Temptations - Papa Was A Rolling Stone - 7 minutes, competing with strings, five or six different voices, a harp, kitchen sink, heavy delay trumpet and yet the same repeated 4 notes just make the whole song.
