    Fair point. Having tried them and liked them, I order ten sets at a time (not very often obviously). When Howard the Bass Doc was working on one of my basses he commented on how much he liked the strings, and asked where he could get some! Everyone else who has tried them either doesn't notice the difference of comments on the funky gold silks! If you PM me your address, I can pop a set in the post so you can try them...

    Me too! I actually like those strings, and would do if they cost five times as much. I came to them after D'Addario, Rotosound, DR, Newtone and LaBella - and like them just as much as any of the aforementioned "proper" strings. Shame they don't do a stainless set, but at that price I'm not about to quibble!

    Nowt wrong with that action. A proper "man's" bass right there.
  5. Conan
    That's brilliant! Very perceptive

    The look on her face when she starts that solo makes me think she must have seen me naked... Lovely playing - especially with such tiny hands!
  8. Conan
    No such thing as bad publicity?
  9. Conan
    Oh yes! He can play one note and make it sound classy, tuneful and, just.... "right". Awesome player

    Generally speaking I don't like bass solos. And this track is not exactly a "solo" anyway...

    I'm not such a huge Yes fan, but I definitely agree on Clockwork Angels. Rush are, and have been for 40 years, my favourite band - but their last offering just gives me a headache two tracks in (even if played on random). It's the production more than the actual playing, and I wish they would remaster it like they did with Vapour Trials, but until that day comes i don't think I will ever be able to listen to it all the way through. Give me Caress of Steel or farewell to Kings any day!

    Awesome! I'd almost forgotten about Troublefunk. Big Tony Fisher has a massive voice and a huge tone... might have to listen to some of their stuff tonight Saw them at Brixton Academy, but never in a library!

    Good advice. Change both at the same time and you will never know which one was the problem. I had a TH500 for a while and found it a bit "dark" (i.e. lacking in real top end). I was also running it with a Barefaced cab (and old Big One) and the combination was not great. As others have said, if you like the Orange - get one! It might be perfect with the BF cab

    But first the Tranya.... It is Balok (or his puppet alter-ego) from the episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" (sic). And thanks
  15. Conan
    I was wondering that too...
  16. Conan
    It's from the fender stable remember...

    Kind of building a "Berlin wall"...
  18. Conan
    Can you edit the title to show that please?
  19. Conan
    Lovely basses! Worth at least twice what they tend to sell for. Don't let the "Squier" badge put you off - the build quality, sound and playability of these is awesome!
  20. Conan
    Late seventies-early nineties post-punk/pop/new wave*. Easy * that's just the covers!
  21. Conan
    And of course, when you inevitably sell it on here, you can claim that it "plays like buttercream"...
  22. Conan
    Does it growl like a growly thing?
  23. Conan
    I was just going to suggest that! I've certainly gigged a Squier Affinity P (although I did change the pickups after a while...).
  24. Conan
    What chris_b said. If you want to keep it, do whatever you want. However, I'm not sure G&Ls will ever reach the value of Fenders from the same era... no idea why, as they are great basses!
  25. Conan
    I did. I agree that £400 is a bit steep - but if that example is as pristine as they say it is, then it could still be a reasonable buy. A good, playable bass, well made, from decent components. I don't think £400 is too over the top for that. Of course, if you can get one for less than that, so much the better!
