   And appar­ently because she works a reg­u­lar job there now, she has no idea what hap­pens at 4am. Heh, heh.

   Sorry I could­n’t be more help­ful.

   Don’t know… Perhaps play the bass in your room… I wake up around 3 or 4 am too for the moment and I don’t know why… I under­sand you… It’s very bor­ing…

   You’re not the next sur­prise celebrity thats going to appear in I’m a celebrity get me out of here are you? How about a Neighbours cameo? (The sec­ond one definitly sounds bet­ter.)

   I always find that if i’ve been awake for ages and decide that there is some music that i really want to lis­ten to, just after i start to lis­ten to it i fall asleep!

   Hello Guy

   I have just sent you my con­tact details via Myspace. No doubt my ol’ home­town Adelaide is next.

   Hope to catch up in Melbourne.

   Cheers

   Hi,

   I men­tioned a lit­tle way back I will be going to Tempus Two – Hunter Valley, Mr. Ferry show.

   Am ask­ing if you would like to met up either before or after show if pos­si­ble, maybe sign my book, have a wine.

   Otherwise I do actu­ally live in Sydney, so if meet­ing up eas­ier there I can do also.

   Anyway if not pos­si­ble, hope you have a fun time while here.

   Karen.

    mr pratt,

    seems mr fer­ry’s show at Tempus Two has been can­celled, I assume because of rain.

    i had actaully brought you a book which is a funny out­look on American Politics — writ­ten by the one of “The Chaser” guys as i thought you would find it amus­ing… (It’s a locally brewed polit­i­cal satire show like the Daily Show)

    any­way hope the rest tour goes well and you enjoy your time here again. I’ll post my num­ber 0416 277 160, and if you still in the area or in syd­ney, be nice to catch up for a chat about your book.

    karen.

    Guy!

    Sometimes the Biber Mystery Sonatas are just the thing — when you can’t sleep, and it’s the mid­dle of the night, they can really take you places. I’ll rec­om­mend a record­ing if you like, until mine comes out.

    Wishing you the very best,
    Leah

    Hi,

    Just a new com­ment for you.

    Thank you for being so nice to a rather blank­minded lit­tle fan.

    Enjoy you hol­i­day and rest tour.

    See you on the 12^th.

    Let me know what you think of the book.

    Karen.

    Hi Guy

    I know this is rather an obnox­ious way of con­tact­ing you but I was want­ing your advice. I’ve assem­bled a band at my col­lege in the University of Durham to record an “all star” ver­sion of Money (Floyd, obvi­ously) to help our local stu­dent radio sta­tion that is des­per­ately run­ning out of money. Among the var­i­ous posi­tions in the group, I have got the lucky job of bass. I was won­der­ing if you would be able to offer us any advice on get­ting the right sort of sound. I would have emailed but could not find an address! Anything at all is wel­come!

    Thanks — I met you on the first night of your Edinburgh Fringe shows, thor­oughly enjoy­ing the whole thing! You were very friendly then so hoped you would be now!

    Seb

    Hi Guy,
    Is there any pos­si­bil­ity that while you are ‘dow­nun­der’ you
    might pop across to New Zealand (specif­i­cally Auckland)
    for a show or two? We would love to see you here 🙂

    Here’s hop­ing

    As far as I’m aware the key is just to play it on a Precision. On the record the sec­ond half of the riff is dou­bled with gui­tar..
    Richard
    I’ll be in Auckland next week. Can you get me a gig?

    Haris - November 29, 2007 10:33 PM

    @Seb: don’t for­get the pick too 🙂

    Also one thing was both­ered me for a long time, now you are remind me on it, in case you cant find Precision that fast, and the thing is: Is it enough to just turn off the sec­ont tone pot on JazzBass to get Precision like sound? At least some­thing near.
    Because in that case the only work­ing pickup would be the neck one. Just like only one on Precision is. Only difer­ence is type of pickup, on Jazz is clas­sic sin­gle coil, on Precission is split­ted, and posi­tion is not quite the same…but Im not shure how much that can affect the sound, those basses are very sim­il­iar techi­cally, beside pick­ups. I was actu­aly made one record for album, on Jazz with only neck pickup ON, just for test, and its sounds…well i duno 🙂 inter­est­ing.

    @Guy: Can we hear any expe­ri­ences about that from great mas­ter? And once again so sorry i could not make it to the Belgrade show :((( …All the best 4 Australian B&animals tour show 😉

    Hi Guy,

    If you are seri­ous I could organ­ise some­thing.
    You can email me on floydnz@​orcon.​net.​nz
    to give me some idea of the num­bers required
    to make a gig in Auckland a viable propo­si­tion.
    I look for­ward to hear­ing from you.

    cheers

    Last time I was awake at 4 am in Perth it was due to entirely nefar­i­ous rea­sons. You prob­a­bly remem­ber; you were there for part of it. I recall sit­ting under the Southern Cross on the beach rolling my head off on Ecstacy, which was still legal there at the time.

    What would I do now? Take a hot bath, and watch strange, mid­dle ‑of-the-night bad Aussie TV, I expect.
