Commerford is sufficiently high-profile that he could choose any brand he wanted under the same conditions.

No he couldn't

Marshall don't give kit for free. The artists pay for it. They get a lot of support for tours etc thrown in, but they pay for the gear.

I eagerly await the next time anyone on BC actually tries yet dislikes a barefaced cab (yes it does happen), "well what does TC know about gigging?" will be the standard response!

Ha! :D

I notice one or two members who usually like to chime in on a Barefaced thread are here conspicuous by their absence.
Perhaps they are on holiday, or something..?

Yes, obviously I should have said '[i]virtually [/i]any brand'. I think my point was clear. :rolleyes:

I can't think of another bassist who's had such a consistently brilliant tone. He has loads of different sounds, some of them really quite ambitious. I realise this sounds sycophantic but I can't think of another "celebrity endorsement" I'd put so much stock into

I hope you aren't referring to me! Sorry for the lack of input today, I'm still trying to figure out when a 4x10 is not a 4x10 -I don't think the addition of a LPF on one column is going to cause a stir in any patents office.

And to be fair, I usually stay out of bf threads nowadays. It's all been done before... a bit like 1x10s, 2x10s, 4x10s, 8x10s...

Or maybe its because being shouted down by the fan club becomes tiresome ?

McCartney, King, Flea, Sting, that u2 bloke that would play through a Saisho tape player from the 80s if you put his squiggle on it?

Nah, as we all know Macca likes a nice 'woolly' tone so is an Ashdown fanboi. :D
[/quote]
Lets not forget that Macca uses a Hofner with flats. I don't think anything but 'woolly' is an option.

This post/comment beggars belief; it is tantamount to baiting! I'd have thought a moderator would have been above such comments.

I missed the inauguration when Discreet was elevated to the lofty Mod status.

This is for you DIscreet..

Are you saying Macca's tone isn't good? No wonder The Beatles didn't sell any records.

Not at all, it's genuine curiosity. I must have read (and participated in) most, if not all of the Barefaced threads and there are two or three people I would have expected to contribute to this thread. For whatever reasons, they have not. It's their choice, obviously. I'm not trying to bait anyone.

As always Sean, I'm delighted to receive a spanking from you - especially an unexpected one. :) Not quite sure what I'm being 'punished' for though, to be honest. Oh well, a spanking is a spanking... we take our pleasures where we can...
