So (sorry if this is a stupid question) is D4 = D1+3?

[quote name='Oscar South' timestamp='1471528851' post='3113713']Opps! Those larger charts weren't supposed to be included in this PDF. They're a hint at some of the things the larger work contains The left hand column lists the pitches of the three overtones in question, which are then placed in function over all 12 chromatic roots in the subsequent columns. There is some info on the bottom of the sheet, but largely they're a guide to what's more or less usable. Green is best, blue more complex, orange mostly nonsense and red non-diatonic voicings. [/quote] Thanks for the explanation! And the revised sheet makes much more sense now thanks. Just so I'm 100%, can you explain your Overtone Location shorthand. I guess A2 is second overtone of A (ie 12th fret harmonic, or 5th fret?) but what's D1+3?

There's no questioning your devotion to the task, but I have simply no idea how I would use your chart in practice. Can you explain how I use it? So for example - what does the EAeGb (etc) refer to top left of each table - what does the left hand column signify (three notes, E G G# for the first row of the first table) - are the columns each the root note of a chord? - what do the shading colours represent? Thanks!

In my next band, rehearsal costs will be settled at booking time, at the previous rehearsal, with everyone's diary clear for the date that's booked - ie next rehearsal is all paid for in advance. This will of course never happen.

Done.

New Moon for "big stuff" - instruments, amps, synths. Household contents covers pedals, cables, other bits and bobs.

Parts of it were brilliant, parts terrible. I really enjoyed Anna Calvi, Phillipe Jaroussky, Laura Mvula, Paul Buchanan. Not sure what to make of Amanda Palmer, but loved the Blackstar section. Not so keen on John Cale, Marc Almond. Neil Hannon looked terrified. The trombonist and flautist [s]were pretty hot[/s] can be in my next band. But massive props to the Beeb and Proms and everyone else who tried to do something original. I'm getting really tired of things like "Bowie tribute karaoke", this embarrassing "Immersive Ziggy Stardust Experience" http://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/david-bowie/news/immersive-ziggy-stardust-experience-london-event/ and I had the misfortune to witness the opening few songs of an orchestral DB tribute at Wilderness Festival last weekend, fronted by Kate Nash. Mrs Knob said "I can tell your ears are getting angry, come on let's go do something else".

It was one of these: http://www.terapeak.com/worth/vintage-peavey-tnt115-tnt-115-bass-amp-amplifier-scorpion-equipped-j1378/181946187095/ I think one of the main reasons for trading up to the Trace was handles. That one strap on top was a killer, compared to the comfy spring loaded side handles on the Trace.

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1469704187' post='3100435'] one down from the Black Widow speaker was the Sheffield speaker? [/quote] A bit of googling suggests it was the Scorpion, which sounds familiar. But now I'm confused as to which was the better spec'd model, the Scorpion or the BW?

I sense a theme developing here. My first proper amp in 1991ish was a Peavey TNT 115 (not the Black Widow version though - what was the slightly lesser cousin called?) That got traded up for a Trace Elliot 7215 in the mid-90s, which I've still got. For size and weight reasons, the Trace might be on the way out soon though. Twenty years(!) on though, and I have no idea what I'm looking for.

Here tis. You forgot to mention some blokes on the drums and guitar! Phil Collins and Pete Townsend. Some lovely footage of MK around the 2m05s mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMl_wPCv0No

Much loved and much missed chez tone. (ps look at little Steven Wilson in that clip!)

I had my eye on this one btw http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2003/the-john-entwistle-collection-w03875/lot.69.html

John Entwistle's Frankenstein bass sold for ahem £62,400 when auctioned at Sotheby's, see http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2003/the-john-entwistle-collection-w03875/lot.168.html Change the placing of the thumbrest and it looks a lot like my £70 Slammer.

I used to work for a well-known (now ex) computer games company, and at the second interview I was talking to the company founder (a bit of character/ego) and the more grounded project manager. Proj Mgr sees I'm a musican from my CV and asks what I've got. 1975 black Ricky, "Ooo"; double-neck Shergold bass/12 "oh! well you are a prog fan I guess"; Musicman StingRay fretless "nice!" (under his breath) "show off". Company founder gets a bit huffy that he's not the centre of attention any more, says "well I'VE got a 1978 PAIR OF PANTS in YELLOW so there" and leaves the room (still got the job)

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1468574937' post='3091844'] Good man, toneknob. Satellite Precision copy here. Must be worth all of £50. Mine's bigger/more expensive that yours, eh? [/quote] See you round the back of the bins for a weigh-off.

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1468575906' post='3091852'] I've played one of them! [/quote] Was it mine? It's red.

1990 Marlin Slammer. £70.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1468230221' post='3089345'] Yes! How long has that been gone?? Life is short. Edit: Just Googled it. It's been closed for EIGHT YEARS. [/quote] really? I never noticed My monitor/pigeon incident would've been in the mid-90s by the way. You could drive all the way down James St to the piazza then, I seem to remember.

Remember the Rock Garden? underneath what is now the Apple Shop on the piazza in Covent Garden. After a sound check there I exuberantl jumped off stage, and in mid air crack my head on one of the overhead monitors. Feeling a bit woozy (it was bleeding a bit) I went outside for some fresh air and sat down on the kerb at the side of the market. And got sh@t on by a pigeon

Walking On The Moon

The Lambeth Country Show has got something for everyone: jousting, sheepdog trials, wheelbarrow decoration, camel racing, prize-winning, fruit and veg, sheep shearing, ferociously strong Chucklehead Cider sold in polystyrene cartons. It takes place in Brockwell Park, handy for Herne Hill, Brixton, Tulse Hill and surrounding areas. All that AND a session from my jazz/rock fusion band Velcro Pelmet. We're on at 4pm at the Village Green Oxjam Takeover stage. Lets hope it doesn't clash with the jousting. More info: https://www.facebook.com/VelcroPelmet/ http://lambethcountryshow.co.uk See you there!
