    Ginger rest - finally worked out what that little block is for. Mind you, the ginger will probably fall off once you start playing!

    Summer of 69 - what an awful song.
  3. Mykesbass
    Keep up 🤨
  4. Mykesbass
    3 string Fender MDP anyone?
  5. Mykesbass
    Fender Fretless Precision - Oxymoron Bass

    I hope you meant aren't? Looking good. I only came across these basses in another post on here a week or so ago and now have gas for the first time in years!

    Sorry, someone had to...

    I remember when Under Pressure came out - 15 seconds of dead air from our radio of that time!

    Agree about 6 Music eq (especially in the car) but astonished that you didn't know this fabulous Tommy Cogbill bass line. The story of the recording of the album is a great read.
  10. Mykesbass
    No, but you should probably delete it and not post when you are under the influence.

    Difficult one isn't it? As others have said, with MJ, there are so many others involved so when covering a song, how much of it is his? Next, where do we stop? Beatles? And while we are on the subject of domestic abuse, how do you censor Ike Turner without censoring his victim?

    @chris_bis absolutely right - but I find it incredibly hard not to "dig in" when gigging. The whole "turn the bass up and play lighter" just seems counterintuitive to me. I saw Nick Fyffe (Jamiroquai bass player) playing a much more rock style with Temperance Movement and really got the whole concept -but I still struggle with it!

    Do you wear gloves when labouring? I found when I was a gardener the leather gloves softened my callouses - damned nuisance.
  14. Mykesbass
    He certainly was!

    Enjoyed this on Cerys Matthews show this morning:

    Alton Ellis- love the way the guitar gives a flavour of the original white still skanking away on the off-beat.

    Thread revival - Youssou N'Dour has probably been posted before, but I thought this track was fabulous, with its very French flavour and Senegalese overtones:

    Much like @Dad3353 mine is a hollow bodied 6 string. A no-name Japanese copy of the Gibson Barney Kessel guitar. Very much like this Shaftesbury - probably from the same factory. I can even forgive it the sunburst finish!

    Yes, was very impressed with their very upfront pricing. £89 to any of that central area, a bit more inside M25, and ask for price elsewhere. Could work very nicely for my plans.
  21. Mykesbass
    Likewise, but the problems are at the booking stage.
  22. Mykesbass
    Yes, it's small bits of furniture I need to send out. Will talk to them soon, so many thanks for flagging them up.
  23. Mykesbass
    Well I now love them, as if they hadn't let you down I wouldn't have found Lenspeed who look to be exactly who I've been looking for for about 4 years! But yes, that's poor. Funnily enough, I've been let down by UPS booking direct, but always had good service from them when booking through an aggregator.
  24. Mykesbass
    I may be wrong, but aren't the US still a bit more cash based for things like this?
  25. Mykesbass
    I did a gig and only knew the band had been paid £700 as the best man asked me about paying as I arrived. I got £100 as part of a 4 piece. Queried it with BL and never got asked to do another gig.
