After using a wireless system at last weekend's outdoor gig I can now see what all the fuss is about. The stageclix is my first choice as the transmitter just plugs straight into the bass but on some active basses you have to buy the lead and other thingy and attach it to your strap as it interferes. But I don't want to. I just want to plug the transmitter straight into my bass. Is anyone using it with an active Fender straight into the bass and not with the extension strap thingy? If I have to get the extra bit then I'll decide between this and the G30 or G50

Lemmy, Chris Squire, Nathan East, Flea, Sting, Mark King, Derrick Taylor, Tom Petersson and a few others that I can't think of

We did a demo about 15 years ago and the sound engineer told me that I sounded like James Finnegan who was with Hue & Cry in the 80s. Funnily enough I did get lessons with him for about a year when I was 15. Another influence that I'd completely forgotten about is Derrick Taylor who was with Roachford in the 80s as well. Such a fantastic player as well

[/quote] Read what I wrote again The Jazzmaster guitar was originally aimed at Jazz guitarists. The Jazz bass came out as the bass version to complement it and that is why it has that name, just like the original Precision complimented the Telecaster then was updated in 1957 to be more like a bass version of the strat with the headstock change.

It was to match the Fender Jazzmaster guitar wasn't it? The guitar was initially aimed at jazz guitarists AFAIK

I've always loved the Precision sound but no Precision I ever played ever sounded right to me compared to what I was looking for. It took a PJ, my current bass, with active EQ to get the Precision sound I had in my head all these years. Combined with having a Jazz width neck which I prefer means that I'm as happy as the proverbial dog with 2 wangs. The only reason I'm selling my Rickenbacker, or at least trying to.

I like the Beatles to an extent and can see the attraction. I've heard some of the music that was about before everyone heard them and for the most part it was bloody aweful so its easy to see the attraction of them and their music. The Stones are touring simply because they are still alive (although they don't always look it) They were overshadowed in the 60s by the Beatles and by Led Zeppelin in the 70s. If anyone happens to be in Liverpool for Beatles weekend then check out the band's website [url="http://www.getbackband.co.uk/gigs.htm"]here[/url] and give me a wave if you happen to come along to one of our gigs. I personally cannot bloody wait.

A band I am currently in are playing at International Beatles Weekend at the end of August in Liverpool. Personally, I'm not that big a fan but we're doing a lot of McCartney & Wings stuff as well which Iike a bit of. I'm doing it purely for the experience, because I love to play and so that I can say that I've done it.

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1342267128' post='1732550'] I saw them at Wembley Stadium on the Steel Wheels tour - [/quote] So will this one be the Steel Wheelchairs tour? I suppose if you're going to do one last money making tour, you should get as close to the original lineup as you can. The Quo are doing one with Alan Lancaster possibly next year, could it be their final tour? I love the bass runs at the end of 19th Nervous Breakdown. In fact that's my favourite era of the Stones. I also really like Undercover of the Night but apparently it was recorded twice - once with Bill and again with Robbie Shakespeare and I get the feeling that the one that was released was Robbie as their's a bit of popping going on.
