Whenever I 'have' to be photographed in a band situation I put on my blue tinted 'John Lennon' glasses a flat cap and look moody. It's the only way I'll have a photo taken (and if the photographer can change it to black and white too, even better)..

I love it. Got me thinking of doing something similar if I can find a cheap enough 5 string to cut up.

Andy has just bought my Warwick Starbass V. Great guy. Great communication. It's been a pleasure

My brand new Rumble 500 lasted less than 5 minutes before it stopped working. I personally wouldn't buy one again.

A couple of photos from Milton Keynes. Rammstein concerts can get quite hot 🔥

I saw them at Milton Keynes a few weeks ago - one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Went online to see where else I could see them in and managed to get tickets in Denmark next August (nearly everywhere else was sold out or too expensive). Then they said they were coming to Coventry so managed to get tickets for there and now they are coming to Cardiff, but as that's only the week before Coventry I'm staying with Coventry and Denmark. Can't wait

Hi and welcome. This is my old Fender Jazz V at Bass Direct. Might be worth a look. http://w.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Jazz_USA_std_5.html

Yes Ive just seen that. Bugger. Coventry a bit easier to get to than Denmark, but as I've already bought the tickets........

Rammstein at the MK - One of the best gigs I've ever been to. Got back home and looked for more Rammstein tickets anywhere (that were affordable) - so its off to Denmark next August 2020 to see them again. Can't wait.

I might have to look into those on my PJV. I normally use DR Sunbeams, but at about £55 a go they can get a bit expensive after a while.

Stunning. Thought I'd got over my GAS. You've just re-ignited it

After having finally admitting I quite liked Fender basses, I very quickly realised that I did but I didn't really, so did a big change and bought PTB's Maruszczyk Jake 5P P/J bass. Partly because I think it looks gorgeous, but also it only weighs 3.5 kg (which is wonderful for a 5 stringer). I also decided to exchange my three remaining basses for a German made Warwick Star Bass II 5 Bubinga (I did momentarily put it up for sale on here straight after I got it because I thought it was too good for me. It is, but it's also so wonderful I quickly withdrew the sale). My logic behind this is that as I'm in two bands (a function electric band and a double bass/acoustic instrumental style band) and I didn't want loads of basses upsetting Mrs 6feet7, I though one bass could act as the backup to both the electric Maruszczyk and my double bass. At the same time, rather than have 2 different sets of amps, I've got rid of my Phil Jones Briefcase and my Markbass setup and got a Phil Jones Suitcase Compact BG-400 with a Phil Jones Compact 8 Cab that covers both bands (I've kept a Markbass LM II head as a backup, just in case). To say I'm excited to do my first gigs with this setup is an understatement. Anyway, I thought I'd share
