Also, "why the hell are you wearing those stupid gloves". Answer at 4m30s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOVGrGBeqiI

Here's Scott Devine's gloves story: http://www.scottsbasslessons.com/odds-and-sods/the-gloves

Just seen on Jakko Jakszyk's social media that John Wetton died earlier today. Sad times for Crim bass players : (

Maybe head to Stairway To Kevin, his workshop is above Regent Sounds on Denmark St. He's a lovely chap and was previously the guitar tech at Wunjo's. Also if it's local for you, try Guitar Aid in Putney.

Another relative obscurity, this from the late 80s [s]Yes[/s] ABWH album. Lovely video. You'll find a live version but that's Jeff Berlin. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tFi3AcA2S0[/media]

And this from BLUE Nights (with Bruford, Chris Botti, David Torn) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0C7nZ02UiA

On top of Crim and PG, with whom I've seen Tony Levin many times there's a load more outside stuff he's done. The BLS albums are great. This always comes with me when I'm testing a new hifi amp or speakers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfbdBZO9td0

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1484927980' post='3219808'] Always liked the bass on this, comes in after about 1 min [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFDgBSk1ghM[/media] [/quote] Is that the original? John Giblin if so. (TLev is only on I Don't Remember on PG3). Lovely stuff either way!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1484919699' post='3219712'] You could tell them you're Trans, but it's your night off. [/quote] I thought maybe I could go in my regular attire but say I'm wearing ladies underwear. But then realised that's probably described most of basschat

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1484914418' post='3219629'] Are you a non-binary person? [/quote] I can play guitar or bass. Sounds a bit binary to me.

Currently on gumtree... "[color=#3C3241]Three ladies - a singer, drummer and guitarist/bassist (me) are forming a band! We're looking for a fourth lady/non-binary person who could ideally switch between guitar and bass. Technical proficiency isn't important. We're based in London (across loads of different areas). Some of our favourite bands are X ray Spex, The Slits, Talking Heads, Bowie, Warpaint, Mac Demarco ... and thousands of others. [/color] [color=#3C3241]Please send a message if you'd like to jam with us."[/color] I'm a fairly bad guitarist living in one of London's many different areas. Should I apply?

[quote name='Low End Bee' timestamp='1484652183' post='3217140'] Totally Mexico. [/quote] Isn't it. With this, and another gem I found yesterday (see below), I had to dig out the Nathan Barley episode where Dan Ashcroft does his "Don't you see? You're all idiots!" speech. (Which is funny because I've seen Julian Barratt at numerous jazz gigs with the exact same bewildered look on his face, eg the looping effects-laden solo tuba player who supported Polar Bear once at Spitz, ah happy days) That other article. See http://www.etmgroup.co.uk/2017/01/10/coming-soon-greenwood/ but this text is from the soft launch email I received. "[color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Greenwood is set to become Victoria’s premier drinking and dining destination, with an in-house barbershop courtesy of Sharps Barber and Shop and walk-in brow bar from Blink Brow Bar. Upstairs hosts the Sports Lounge at Greenwood, showing all domestic and international sports, as well as featuring an American 8-ball pool table and two Shuffleboards"[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]My assurance is that there can only be a finite amount of hipster dickheads around to lap up this kind of thing[/font][/color]

Don't read this if you're a fan of live music. The comments are brilliant http://thecarouser.com/the-garage-islington-relaunches/

What we need is the equivalent of AirBnB/LinkedIn for musicians. Get all your ex-bandmates to rate you for time-keeping (in all senses), reliability, getting a round in, owning a van/PA/portable beer fridge, maybe even musical ability

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1483698767' post='3209313'] Just got a Jamhub Bedroom but before that we used a Behringer X18 desk using the monitor outs going headphone amps then to wireless in ears or straight to headphones. The Jamhub is far easier, smaller and far less expensive. Both setups gives every member their own mix. Using a behringer BD121 on bass, Line 6 Amplifi 75 emulator on guitar from headphone out and a Yamaha DTX500 electronic kit. Still working on the lead guitarists setup. He is a traditionalist... [/quote] They can be! How does the drummer fit in? (thanks for that btw)

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1482104741' post='3197731'] Can anyone recommend some budget closed headphones for silent rehearsals? A couple of members will not use in ear. Weird ear canals apparently, although I suspect they are scared of the technology! I should imagine they would stretch to £50 each if shamed. Cheaper would be better though. Thanks in advance. [/quote] No idea, but can you share the rest of your set-up for silent rehearsing?

Someone said John Paul Jones right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_X5L8IVCpI

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1483530392' post='3207902'] Lovely Jubbly and thanks for the link. I have just downloaded some stuff - Very accurate notation. There is a ton of good stuff for download. [/quote] Real treasure trove isn't it! I was proper omg when I saw all of 801 Live in there. Good accurate transcriptions as well, and no (or very little) tab.

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1483474321' post='3207505'] I mean what is woolly supposed to mean. [/quote] Trevor Bolder. In sonic terms, not sideburns.

This is a brilliant read: in Bryan's own words, how he tracked down and caught the criminals. Some of the gear has been reclaimed as well. http://www.bryanbeller.com/cms/index.php?page=lob45storagewars "we can get you a badge but you'll have to cut your hair"

Happy to share and like if it gets the word spread and more people interested in live music. Velcro Pelmet, jazz fusion in south London, soon to be on maneuvres again: https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet/

From the facebook page of Rush: "We are so saddened to hear the news of the sudden and abrupt demise of Classic Rock Magazine, Prog Magazine, Metal Hammer, Team Rock Radio, Team Rock online, as well as the Prog Awards and the Classic Rock Awards. We are thinking of the very talented and passionate staff that lived to bring the music of so many artists to their fans. We've met some amazing people through our interviews over the years with writers like Phil Wilding, Jerry Ewing, and Paul Elliott just to name a few. Props to Ben Ward who started a donation page to help the 73 staffers that are now without a job or wages just before the holidays. We're donating and we urge the rock community to do the same, whatever you can do to support: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ukrockcommunity" Funds are at £73,102 at time of posting.

Are there any decent music magazines left?
