No, it wasn´t him. I found out it was Marcus Weymaere. Don´t know if he did the gig as a short term replacement or whatsoever. But he has been doing a great job.

Yes.It's a really nice place.Unfortunately there aren't many of these left here in our area. Is the decrease of those little venues a particular symptom just here in Germany or is it the same in your countries?

I had the pleasure to see Dom Martin and his band yesterday at Haus Eifgen/Germany. As the band played open air on a small stage with great sound it was a perfect summer evening. Being only a hobby player I was blown away by Ben Graham playing the bass. The way he changes from steady, unobtrusive grooving to virtually exploding instrumental dialogues with Dom Martin´s guitar still gives me shivers down my spine. Unfortunately I don´t know the drummer´s name. He complemented the whole gig perfectly. I had the luck to see three real great musicians !!

Looks really nice. But to be honest, it's the HB flats that I'm interested in. There isn't much information about them. Any comments on sound, feel (tension)?

My favourite bass at the moment is my Orange O bass. It could have less neck dive, so hipshot lightweight tuners are on my list. And though I won´t let my 34` go, I would love to add a short scale one. (Anyone here who has influence on Mr Emsley ????)

Wow....the more I hear what most of you started with, the more small and ugly I feel about my first one: Jesus just left Chicago by ZZ TOP. (Were there more than three notes? ) Fortunately back then I didn't know about basschat, otherwise after having heard all your "firsts" I would have been discouraged and I would have given up bass playing immediately. Thank God that thread didn't appear 8years ago.😊

WOW !!!! Being really in love with Les Paul basses these pics made my heart missing (or miss??? please correct me - no native speaker) one or another beat.

To me it's a weird thing with Funk music. I can't listen to it for a longer time but some of the bass parts are really impressing and challenging. It' s the same with some kind of pop music(disco??? ) like for example ABBA. I don't really like their music, but their songs are perfectly arranged, produced, performed- you name it. And there are bass lines in 'em I really love to play. So I think it's all about having fun - doesn't depend on a certain style.

Would be a pity to my eyes. I'd love to see a short scale Les Paul shaped bass at a more friendly price. Doesn't need to be a reissue of an old The Heritage one.

IMHO in that price range you can't go wrong with Harley Benton ' s PB-20 Or PB-50 . Edit: I was too slow, but you've got your first ratings for HB.

After having seen the new The Heritage ascent range guitar on the Guitaristas youtube channel, I'm curious whether there will be an ascent range bass in the future. Does anyone here know something about it?

Boogie with Stu- Led Zeppelin

I should have tried before.😕 My advice doesn't work. Sorry- but now there are two of us waiting for the correct answer.😊

Just clic on your account, next clic on account settings and there you are.. Change your Email address and don't forget to save your new setting (😊This is what I almost always do. ..)

What do you mean- guitarists? ! Who cares about guitarists?😆 (I' m part of general public as well)
