you know, it's much easier to learn to play the synthesiser...... not as much fun though.

I put my P&C in the effects loop of my Meatball for some great synth tones. Not much use on its own though.

Alas, not so in my case.

HollyWood - RHCP https://youtu.be/fXGelB9uxcM

Hopefully she's sat at home safe and warm and wood-shedding whilst we're left wasting time on here!

Stinkfoot - Zappa

These two are very different beasts. The RS77 are much higher tension than the Nexus strings; if you're going to move to 77s from the nexus then drop a gauge e.g. .105" to .100", that will mitigate the increased stiffness.

I always find that live albums are the best way to discover what a band is capable of. Good suggestion.

Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me - Die Schmitts.

Teenage Prostitute - Zappa

Nope. I refuse to read things that are in comic sans font too.

Agreed. BSSM is pretty much the perfect album; incredible performances of great songs that were recorded and produced in a manner that embellished all of the above.

The Chicken - PeeWee Ellis (& Jaco)

Poultry in Motion - Johnny Tillotson.

Disintegration gets my vote.

I've managed to remove the battery connector on my iPod classic (in my defences they are held on by small amounts of bugger all) and wondered if any BCers know of anyone who can res-older either the existing socket, or fit a new one? My only alternative is to buy a new logic board at £100, and I'd rather not spend that much if possible. I'm in East Lancashire/North Manchester, but don't mind couriering it if someone comes recommended. There re lots of phone repair shops locally, but I think they just do cracked screens/part replacement and they're a bit of a mixed bunch.

^This guy gets it^ 'Sir Psycho Sexy' for me too. Funky Mutron goodness from Flea, tight rhythm work from Frusciante, and a wobbly vibraphone to boot. This track has it all. If I had to pick a 2nd favourite then it would most likely be 'Coffee Shop' from One Hot Minute. Flea is ON POINT!!!

Yes, MOSFETs are behaviourally as close to a tube as you’ll get with needing 300volts to a plate. How it sounds is just a question of taste.

Did they ever tell Cousteau? E.S.T.

I think the MOSFET version just inches it, what with the new 'Video Plus' feature ;).

I know what you mean. Every 'open mic', studio job, and sometimes even some dep gig I've ever done has had an Ashdown combo somewhere. Never found one that I liked. Plenty of folks swear by them though, so they must be doing something right.

No matter what the bass was they'd all be going through Ashdowns at this time, no?

I’ve had this - it’s was a pickup height problem.
