No, it’s NOT a word!! 😄

I played keys as a teenager and a friend got me into Rush, so I bought "A Show Of Hands" 'cos it had loads of songs with keyboards on. A reasonable choice. Then I heard the Geddy's bass run on "closer to the heart" on side 4 (it was on vinyl in those days) and knew that I just HAD to make those sounds. Sadly I never have, but I've occasionally come close.

Only one of them can hold a tune though, the other couldn't carry it in a bucket!

My pet peeve is songs/choruses that rely on "wooahhh" instead of writing proper lyrics. It's just lazy songwriting.

Re-watching the Metallica S&M DVD from the 90's. The footage looks really grainy and dated by today's standards but the audio is great!

Fixed. 😄

Pretty much everything *but* Fender! 😄

Nope, Jazz bass straight down the line. I’ve got a P for the odd occasion when I feel like a change, but for me it’s Jazz bass, Jazz bass and thrice Jazz bass.

Call Any Vegetable - Zappa

Me, I’ve bought nowt!

The Dangerous Kitchen - Zappa

Also the Sansamp Bass Driver never really scratched me where I itched - I still reckon the Paradriver is vastly superior

Perfect when played through a Line 6 Helix.

Dance of the Mad - PWEI

Flats. I know that there are loads of players who love them, but I went through about 5 or 6 brands before realising that they weren’t for me.

That nut looks like it’s compatible with Lego bricks!

Thanks for this, I'd forgotten all about the Jaco exercises. I have the book (somewhere) and have only watched the video once; I just find it too sad to rewatch.

Every day is like Sunday - Captain Morrissey and the Fantastic Miserables

I suspect you are not the only one troubled by that particular memory. 😄

Measure twice, cut once.

Is it not just the capacitors/opamp filling up after being empty?

It's true, they are.

I bet the neighbourhood dogs were going mental!!

I would have walked at ‘blues/rock’, or if not then, then definitely at ‘3 guitarists’! 😄
