[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1371258938' post='2111932'] The band was average at the best. [/quote] no, Holly had a great voice, no doubt. Mark O'Toole was a very good bass player and good guitarist as well ped was solid tight drummer. marks lines on WTTPD are well played and just CLASSIC, They loved music, loved playing live, young, arrogant, self opinionated, crass, careless, looked good fresh powerfull and positively buzzing with vibrance all the ingredients for a great band. as a band i thought they were epic, i cant even imagine what music they would be doing now if they had stayed together, but im sure it would have had a massive impact on music direction.

[quote name='skelf' timestamp='1371506729' post='2114892'] That is a good event but a bit depressing. Every year I see more cars that I know very well buy did not regard as being old then stop think about it. They are a fair age. More than welcome to drop in if you are in Moffat this year. [/quote]. Thanks if im there this year i will, ( sold my alpine now tho ) but will still go for the weekend. Cheers.

[quote name='skelf' timestamp='1371504809' post='2114863'] An excellent reverb pedal. [/quote] Hi Ac, thanks, just checked out your ac basses. Very nice. your in moffet ? i go to the roots show there every year, and do the rally through the hills. A great weekend ( spent a few drunk nights in the black bull !) wish id have known someone makes basses there befor now, makes the trip even more intresting.

Ah, iv just found some info on it, its programable you can download the patches for it. sorry, it makes sense now.

I have been for years now using my secret weapon an old boss RV3 a Digital Reverb and Delay, in one, with out doubt the best thing i have found far short of taking my TC fireworx out the rack and gigging it, but just found this which sounds yummy goood as well. has anyone got one, tried one ?, their thoughts on it most welcome please.

My 2 fave sounds i use, are.. my 82 wal with a SWR pro 500 and swr 6x10.... clean and punchy. my 81 G&L L2000E or 83 L2000 with the above or for soul and blues with a TE 350smx and mk1 TE 4x10 cab. Others Mark king has had loads of nice tones over the years i love, too many to list. Magnum coltrane price with nils landgren's funk unit sound awsome, ( check him out !) Jerry Preston's BC Rich with Maceo parker sounds killer. Alan Spenner's wal . Gary Willis, again so many, but the tone on Bent is hi fi bliss (its only music one of my fave bass tracks ever) victor wooten again so many. Pino's MM fretless. Steve williams when he had his redhead combo with his fender jazz always sounded great with loose change. Tom kennedy with dave weckl Dave margen had a top sound with santana. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp7w6x1Fe7Y[/media] This version of blast by marcus miller. so much better than the CD, [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-rWGHNGdKo[/media] The bass tones on night fly, [url="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Abraham+Laboriel"]Abraham Laboriel[/url] on donald fagens new frontier i use to love, then you listen to some of the other tracks on nightfly and [url="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Marcus+Miller"]Marcus Miller[/url] on maxine and the night fly [url="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Anthony+Jackson"]Anthony Jackson[/url] on I.G.Y and Ruby baby .....................( tho a more rounded sound with the top cut) [url="http://www.discogs.com/artist/Chuck+Rainey"]Chuck Rainey[/url] on green flower st These all sound similar with with varying degrees of top. a compressed bottom and a nice crisp crunchy top, the whole album is worthy of a debatable thread of it own.

francis rocco prestia Mark king Gary Crockett ernie mckone david condra, RIP. ( a friend that was in a local band) Jimmy Johnson ( check out wayne johnson trio, grasshopper cd, ) pierre michelot ( i play his "Round about a bass" cd every morning, great morning therapy,, try it) colin Hodgkinson James, J.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1368907693' post='2082978'] The worst has to be [b]anyone[/b] playing Norwegian Wood. [/quote] ooohhh i dont know, i like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrjufFfDoQ

My bit of good advice is,,, when you have finished playing with the E string rest your thumb on it. when you play say on the d string you are setting of a harmonic on the E or an open E string ringing. clearly heard about 1:06ish, 1:18 and 1:24, ETC.... mute what you dont use with your thumb, one of the things i use to teach is how to play notes without any clutter, ie... when you move to the G rest your thumb on the A which also mutes the E. hope it helps.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1367953386' post='2071567'] Can some enlighten those not in the know? [/quote] EDITED ( Bugger roland rock beat me to it as i was doing this) As cloudburst said the logo was a dead giveaway its the wrong one for a start and someone has rubbed out the EB bit, .... see here for pre logos..... [url="http://www.musicmanbass.org/mycustompage0008.htm"]http://www.musicmanb...tompage0008.htm[/url] and as martin said 3 band eq is an EB addition, and did not come in till 87 [url="http://www.musicmanbass.org/mycustompage0019.htm"]http://www.musicmanb...tompage0019.htm[/url] 1 dot too many on neck. Address on back of head is a EB thing I may be wrong here but i have never seen a what looks like roasted Birds eye neck on a Pre EB.

I think someone better tell him. http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/musicman-stingray-bass--pre-ernie-ball/1016567238

i had a gator flight case collected from scotland 24 hour, when it arrived they had managed to put a hole in it with the piece still inside and 2 cracks in it, one on the lid and one half way round the alloy trim !. when i tryed to clame from parcel force they said it was not packed as there was no card around it. I argued that it WAS in its self packing, why would you need to pack what is surely the best packing you can get, They said they would not pay. I threatend them with court stating the above and also a big point, if the collector had seen it was not packed appropriately he should not have taken it. They paid out. For bigger claimes they wil mostly try and fob you off with a letter, this has now become standard practice in the hope you will just leave it. Follow it through with a letter threatening a court action ( not a phone call) stating your next move will be to hand their reply to your solicitor, and once in the solicitor hands you will have to see it through to clame your expences and his. ( so payment after this would be too late) that then will go to there legal dept and if you have a valid clame they will pay out. I send alot parcels around the uk mainly heavy classic car parts, the worst courier i have found is CITY LINK... DO NOT USE CITY LINK, !!!! they have caused me so much trouble, and i had an account with them !!

mmmmmmmmm when i first lent my friends realist i was made up with it. so i ordered one from "an unnamed shop in the uk" !!! when it arrived it had a much lower O/P than my friends so i took it over to his to compare, and... it was not the same the copper bit over the piezo was rough cut and not straight either, the lead was thinner, the jack socket was a normal cheap jack socket with heat shrink over it with no lettering on it like the realist,,,, no doubt it was a copy. so going over the shops head i got on to David Gauge and i had within a week a brand new one sent to me with a prepaid envelope to send the other to them in the usa, PRAISE PRAISE PRAISE David Gauge. And yes they were worlds apart the new one was GREAT. now i was in a predicament, i did not want to get the shop into trouble even tho i know they were trying to rip me off ( then i paid about £120 for it) as he was a friend of my friend, i did not want to ring the shop up and directly accuse HIM , so.. i never sent it to over to david Gauge, that was a while ago now. thinking back now i should of went back and shoved it up has nose... So to my point There are copys out there, just check it.

Another thumbs up for Rufus reid's book. When i was teaching i made all my students buy the Evolving Bassist. But for the most,,,My essential' recommendation.....spend as much time as you can learning things by ear. It WILL stay in It WILL stay in It WILL stay in

i keep my eye on ebay incase one pops up, as do a few others on here enjoy, you wont find better for what you paid.

i love this clip where he makes a d!@k of himself trying to up stage michael jackson. first he takes the guys guitar takes one of his plecs and in disgust throws it on the floor !, i would of ripped my guitar back off him right there. i bet the guitarist felt great when he fell off the stage tho. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHaFj7gOWh4
