    Paul's solo album is a Top 10 album ever (by anyone) for me!

    No, a great version though it is...

    Impossible to choose. Far too many great songs..... I can't pick a fave!

    He's supporting Billy Joel at Hyde Park. Hopefully Todd Rundgren (support on his solo show) will be on the bill too. I'm working that show so would be great to tick a few off my bucket list in one go!

    Not in London itself. Home counties, yes.

    I'm heading out on a 19 date tour of UK theatres shortly with my theatre band 'Leather & Lace', under the banner of 'The Bootleg Rock Show' which means with extra 'production' (big screens, lasers, pyro etc)! Can't wait It's all through May and into June. Would be great to see any of you who fancy attending! https://www.leatherandlaceshow.com/ Gig list and ticket links

    It should be an EMG BTS circuit inside, so you have passive pickups with an active circuit. Upgrading the pickups to full active EMGs is something I tend to do, but if you're happy with the Hz pickups why bother, as you say?! It's worth flicking the two tiny mini switches on the BTS into each combination of 'off' and 'on' to see which sound you prefer. I, and many others, like having both switches 'on' for a more biting Spector tone, but playing dub/reggae etc you may find a different combination preferable. Enjoy experimenting!

    Jazz and MPV. shows verstality while remaining unpretentious. Chatting can reveal you have a fretless.... and the opportunities it opens up...

    I've seen numerous covers and function bands continue to play MJ songs and never an eyelid is batted. Some of the big MJ tributes are still touring theatres as well. If you enjoy the music and can separate it from allegations (proven or otherwise) then great. If not, you have the right to feel offended, whether anyone else cares or not.

    Would it be OK to play a Rod Temperton song, that Michael Jackson did? Where is the line drawn?

    Splendid! Looks fab.... glad to have been of assistance 👍

    Yep, there's a bit of neck dive but a good grippy strap takes care of the worst of it. Usual issue with an Tbird shape.

    Polar Audio have been so rubbish that Gallien Krueger are now opting to deal direct now with some main dealers instead. Obviously this takes time to set up and there are delays with manufacture as a hangover from Covid and electronic part shortages. Andertons will be your best bet as and when. Also worth mentioning that many people think of GK as being a massive company but in reality they are still a family business.

    This was custom built for Kip at the Euro factory (NOT US custom shop) as a STRICTLY one-off, organised by Stuart Spector before he sold the brand to Korg. This won't be produced for public sale. Sorry...

    Saw them at The Cavern in Raynes Park, SW London. Nice guy and great player. A couple of the guys in the band are also in Simply Dan (Steely Dan tribute).

    Once he realises, like the rest of us do, that he can't play fretless..... he'll have fun trying to find a buyer for that anchor! 🤣

    This, to my ears, is utter perfection. The band and song to which all other melodic rock bands can only attempt to measure themselves. 😎 That voice - Steve Perry at his soulful finest.... Those backing vocal harmonies... That melody... Randy 'Dawg' Jackson on bass, complete with crazy hairstyle and fashion sense! The soul, passion and intensity... Turn it up loud and let the goosebumps envelope you.... 🥰 You're welcome

    Two DC's is a bit hi-fi/clinical. You could try the EMG P pickup in a soapbar (35P4 or 35P4X) in the neck position and keep the DC in the bridge or swap that out for a 35J, 35JX, 35JCS or 35JX-CS . https://www.emgpickups.com/bass.html
