The Last Bass Outpost

Maybe it had two bridged power amps?

The whole amp was a joke of Adrian Emsley. Obviously only meant as a showpiece.
I wonder how many people actually noticed it said 5000 watts on the face plate.

Looks like he could lose 15 pounds himself too 

Without Wishbone Ash, young man, your Thin Lizzies would have never stopped playing pop versions of Irish drinking songs! They owe the whole twin guitar thing to them. And have admitted as much.

Yeahyeahyeah.
At least Thin Lizzy managed to use the twin guitar style to make exciting songs with head and tail. 

Bass Centre claims it's a medium scale bass. But to me it looks like a normal short scale EB3.
No information what kind of wood it is, and wether it's bolt on or set neck.
Not exactly dirt cheap. But still affordable at 399 BPS

Did you go blind? Or did your spine weaken?

are you using an LP?

Yes, my self built LP. The Brooks Bass.
To be honest that bass didn't sound the way it should have. When we recorded it I still hadn't get round to rewiring it and solve some probems.
The bass lacked authority and punch.
It gave me quite a few problems with the mixing of the recordings. Still not 100% happy with the mix. I'd love to hear your opinions on the mix.
I'm still mixing and forever changing little things 


Last week we got some airplay with Arrow Rock Radio (www.arrow.nl). They played "Tossin' & Turnin", but it sounded awful with the compression they processed. Somehow the combination of the compression I gave it and theirs didn't work at all...

I grew up with ABBA... My older sister had a door poster of Agneta.
It was girls music. Boys did not like ABBA.

In the early nineties there was an ABBA revival. (muriels wedding, priscilla queen of the desert)
It became en vogue / camp to like ABBA. But I didn't like it.

Although I see it's briliantly constructed high quality popmusic, I still don't like it.
A lot of it has to do with the voices. (And the fact that I was over exposed to them as a young boy...)

I hardly ever drink any alcohol when I'm at home. Floor doesn't drink at all and I don't see the fun in drinking alone.

But when I'm with company who likes a beer or a glass of wine, I really enjoy a few drinks.
I do like to get a little drunk / a bit tipsy now and then.

When I was in my twenties I really drank a lot. Everybody seemed to drink an awful lot back then. That's what students do I guess.
We used to have parties until six in the morning. Then go downtown to the first pub opening, for a cup of coffee (not that it helped any). And then straight to the Arts Academy to present/discuss our work... totally pissed of course!
