Is 10/8 a time signature thing? Could be. Any idea why?

This photo is from Armando Gallo's wonderful book 'I Know What I Like'. It's shows Chester Thompson's bass drum and pedal with a set list taped down next to it. It doesn't mention where or when the photo was taken. It has always confused me and I wondered if anyone knew what some of the songs are and why he referred to them that way. Given the content of the set, it must be from the '...And Then There Were Three...' tour, but I have no idea what '10/8' or 'TRUNDLE' refer to. The Genesis Movement show these songs as played on this tour: Songs Played In This Period Eleventh Earl Of Mar, In The Cage, Burning Rope, Ripples, Deep in the Motherlode, One For The Vine, Squonk, Say It's Alright Joe, The Lady Lies, Cinema Show/Afterglow, Follow You Follow Me, Dance on a Volcano/Los Endos, I Know What I Like, Fountain of Salmacis, Down and Out, Ballad of Big, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway/Musical Box, Supper?s Ready, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight/Musical Box Medleys : - Dancing With The Moonlit Knight / The Musical Box (Closing Section) - Dance On A Volcano / Drum Duet / Los Endos I'm wondering whether 'HOME' at the end means actually home as in it may have been a date in the USA or maybe the final date of the tour (Japan)?

About 15 years ago, I was deep in an obsessive mode regarding Music Man Stingray basses. I still love them, but since I've started having issues with my fretting hand, I've found life a lot easier with slightly narrower necks. Also being a Status fan, I was on the lookout for one of the elusive NAMM Stingray Specials with the Status neck. Only 100 made and they came up for sale very infrequently. Things happen when you least expect them and I found one for sale one day in a small music shop in the middle of nowhere. Apparently, the guy who bought it from new didn't even know how to play bass and it had been in its case been under his bed for years. I bought it for a very respectable price and walked out of the shop a very happy man indeed. It as, as they are referred to around these parts, a keeper.

Yes, I do, but only for basses, not pedals/amps/speakers. They're all contained in a single document which is quite scary to look at. It has dates for all my current basses bar the first two as I'm a bit hazy on where from and how much as they were bought in the 80's. Once they are gone they move to the sold section at the bottom of the list.

Similarly, the inclusion of Sledgehammer into the set necessitated that I purchase an octave pedal. Bought through the classifieds here on Basschat for £40, but I guess that dumps out of the 2024 challenge 😬

If we have to have a thread about the programme, let’s call it by its name: Glitter:The Popstar Paedophile, not just Popstar.

Bought a pedal from Adam last week. Great pedal and received very quickly as well as being packaged very well. Thoroughly recommended seller. Thanks again mate.

I really must get one for mine. I really don’t like the gig bag that came with it. Makes storing it very awkward.

@kungfuzulu - not sure what your budget is, but this is available. Absolutely mint. I bought it for a project that should of, but didn’t happen. Never gigged or rehearsed even and rare as rocking horse poo in this colour.

If it was close to me, I would go and check it out and pay the seller for you if it looked sound. I've done similar before.

Basic price for my spec was $3,700. I think I’ll pass on that.

I got my first real five-string Bought it at the five and dime Played it 'til my fingers bled Was the spring of 1996 It doesn't have quite the same ring to it 😎
