Lightweights the lot of them. I sold my Moog Taurus I bass pedals (you'll find the ad elsewhere on BC) to a chap in Switzerland. We spent a few emails to and fro over the course of a couple of days finding the best courier/insurance options, struck a deal and it all went according to plan. I had to make my own box (from 2x TV boxes from the local self-storage place) and the bubble wrap/packaging tape man did well out of it as well. Job done.

Didn't really get it on the first couple of listens. Much prefer In A Silent Way, which blew my mind when I first heard it.

I was in Hereford for a wedding on Saturday. I expect to be sober again next Tuesday fortnight (there's some very nice beer out that way. and wine. and fizz...)

How Jaco would look today?

Probably a bunch of Chapman Stick on there as well. It's recently been released on Blu-Ray and DVD after years of VHS-only status - much to the annoyance of purchasers of the recent So25 box set which included the DVD (no Blu-Ray) version of the show. On the other hand, there's a copy of the "Play" promo video collection included with the Blu-Ray version to sweeten the deal. I'm just glad this show's seeing light of day after all this time (my VHS copy is wearing out). Brilliant stuff.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1380060929' post='2220454'] Awesome! Jakko's in, haven't heard a pipsqueak about him for over 20 years. [/quote] Jakko has been on the Crimson periphery for a while - he fronted a couple of incarnations of 21st Century Schizoid Band, and also did A Scarcity Of Miracles with Fripp and Mel C last year (which also featured TLev and Gav I think)

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1380056663' post='2220360'] Just heard about this - awesome news! If only it was Harrison Bruford & Mastelotto...... [/quote] When I saw a (text only) copy of the DGM Live announcement, referring to 'Mr Bill', I immediately thought Bruford as well. Still, B. Rieflin is a great drummer - he played with the Toyah/Fripp 'Humans' project recently, and also the DGM band Ten Seconds a while back. Look for a track called 'The Last Three Minutes'

I'm hoping there'll be a 64 Spoons influence in the new Crim. This lineup us great news, looking forward to the new sounds - some time in late 2014 according to TLev's facebook feed.

Serial Fender gig-bag collector Steve came to collect one of the very same from me - even drove into London and up to the front door of my office! Nice one, easy job.

I just clicked on a random year (1967) and looked at January. [i]In one month [/i]we've got The Herd, Pink Floyd, John Mayall, Cream, Hendrix, Syn (most of pre-Yes), and (omg) Hendrix AND The Who on the same night.

Gig bag gone to Mr Bx3!

Just found this: [url="http://www.themarqueeclub.net/calendar"]http://www.themarqueeclub.net/calendar[/url] ...a diary of gigs at the Marquee from the mid-60s to the late 80s. Mind-boggling stuff. Which gigs were you at? I like this, here's September 1982: Wed 22 Twelfth Night Sat 25 Marillion Sun 26 Marillion/Pendragon Mon 27 Genesis Tue 28 Marillion Wed 29 Marillion Thu 30 Marillion

All of a sudden I've got a spare ticket for Wednesday's show at Brixton Academy. One of my gig chums has pulled out, but I've got his ticket. PM if you fancy taking if off my hands.

I'd use a three finger technique, index for the low note then ring and middle (in that order) for the other two. Not easy to start with, but as everyone's said start slow with whatever feels best for you then work up to speed gradually.

Having a clearout, I've discovered an Fender gig bag, looks pretty much like this one from what I can tell: [url="http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Fender_Deluxe_Electric_Bass_Guitar_Gig_Bag/FEN-099-1522-006"]http://www.soundsliveshop.com/p/Fender_Deluxe_Electric_Bass_Guitar_Gig_Bag/FEN-099-1522-006[/url] It's unused and still tagged. Free to whoever wants it, collection only but I'm ok to meet in south-west, south or central London. PM or email [email protected]

This will make your eyeballs bulge... [url="http://www.wimp.com/lownote/"]http://www.wimp.com/lownote/[/url]

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1378923910' post='2206626'] In practice, we are giving up nothing. [/quote] Unless you have a preference for the media that delivers the information, which some do. What are you going to put in all that space?

As well as vinyl, which I love, I'm also a big consumer of digital downloads for use with my phone when out and about. But having said that, I'm getting increasingly aware of increasingly not taking the time to just sit and listen. Vinyl is by far my preferred format for music when just sitting.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1378904511' post='2206283'] Anyone want a couple of hundred vinyl lps? . Mostly Jazz, Fusion or variants thereof? Free to a good home. [/quote] Would love to see a list and maybe take some off your hands, but suspect you're after a quick and easy all-or-nothing job?

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1378761867' post='2204498'] The T1's could be pretty unreliable. I had an after market set of triggers fitted which got rid of the no contact no note syndrome. However they were still susceptible to tuning drift etc. They are awesome sounding though. [/quote] I never had any tuning trouble with mine. A vintage synth engineer who gave them a service one day told me that getting sticky fingers (sweat, grease, etc) on the circuitry can contribute to tuning instability, so worth bearing in mind when fiddling around inside. I also had the microswitch job done on mine before selling. Pretty much essential on this piece of kit at its current age. £1800 sounds like the top end of the market for a T3, I've seen them on eBay for £1.2k to £1.3k.

[quote name='police squad' timestamp='1378735928' post='2203904'] I saw that come up. I'm worried that an old one might be unreliable but as you say, it's looks in good shape. I've ordered the 'Certifiable' Police dvd to listen to Sting's on it. [/quote] Certifiable is a great watch (it's my go-to disc to show off how good Blu-Ray image quality should be), but I guess you've already seen this... 25m40s in for DSSCTM intro. (and about 29m in for more) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XUW5ZacJD0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XUW5ZacJD0[/url] I sold my T1 earlier this year - drop me a PM if you want pointers to look out for when buying.

Moog Taurus 1 on eBay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231050460166"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=231050460166[/url] Not a bad price - looks in very good nick from the admittedly shaky pics.

Yeah! They'll really make a difference. If I was in your position, assuming you'd be regularly rehearsing and gigging, I'd go for the Minitaur plus sturdy midi pedals option.
