thanks Pete. yeah, the CS has such an amazing sound on its own. keep us posted if you ever play here, in the states. (Boston to be exact!)

i appreciate you taking the time to answer my question.

hey Pete-

good to have you back! can i ask you... a little off topic here... how do you nail the Squire sound? i was just watching Seyes, "Heart of the Sunrise" to be exact, on YouTube, and you really have it! what's the secret? it really has that warmth... whereas some are just bright and ...

1987, Big Generator Tour. 9th row... i'd been playing bass for about 2 months... changed my life.

hey Geddy fans-

what bass does he play for YYZ on the "Exit... Stage Left" DVD????

thanks

i don't think any of the basses in the clip are his. it's an interview for Guitar World... so, i bet they have them just lying around.
a stock jazz, a geddy signature (you can see the Badass bridge), and a red jaguar.

he is human... right?

of course.

totally! i was amazed or horrified when Tony Kaye was walking around with his "where's the beef' t-shirt after the show. and Squire is portrayed as the definite hard-guy, ball buster. who knows. funny backstage stuff...

i agree. Mills is my absolute fave bassist and he is the "secret weapon" of REM. (to quote Eddie Vedder from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.)

Michael Anthony, the same thing.

let's give these guys the credit they deserve!

i remember seeing a live clip of the beatles and john playing "i feel fine" on the acoustic. cool.

thanks Francesco!

hey Francesco-

what are you using to get your "squire-tone" on Yours Is No Disgrace? i see the Bass, and i see an Ashdown amp...

what's in between? how are you running your pickups?

hey you Hofner experts... can someone explain (it's always irked me!) why the control panel on Paul's '63 Hofner was reversed? close inspection shows the writing (volume, bass, on/off) etc., is right side up. on mine and all other Hofners, it's upside down, so as you are playing it, you can read it ...

yeah, the rumor is that they (phil, mike, and tony) will tour in 2007. the "Turn It On Again Tour".

too bad that the 5-piece idea didn't work out... for now. woulda been a treat to see peter and steve playing.

big announcement on their site November 7th. stay tuned.

going to see them on 11/1 in Rhode Island.

saw them before... amazing.
