  1. I’ve also got a massive soft spot for one George Formby. Great songs and whimsical double entendres delivered with a cheeky smile. I can’t help that the world needs a bit more of this sort of thing.
  2. Mine went too, I just built a new preamp and bought a class D amplifier board from Amazon and used the same box. Sure, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles, but it sounds good and only ever gets used for home practice anyway. Cost 1/5th of the repair quote.
  3. My P bass was just too ‘sprangy’ so I sprang for a set of flats. Nice thump, great feel (after going down a gauge cos of the tension) and last ages.
  4. Agreed. There are quite a few honkers too! Having been brought up on a heady brew of Queen, the Beach Boys and cassettes of ‘comedy hits of the 70s’ on 5 hour drives to family holidays I’m not averse to light-hearted and witty banter set to appropriate musical accompaniment. I drove my son home from youth club tonight accompanied by a selection from Frank Sidebottom’s repertoire and had a good giggle. FZ gets my vote any day of the week, but I can’t help but think that the music carries a hell of a lot more value than his lyrical efforts.
  5. Innocuous, homogenous radio-friendly pop - not what I signed up for.
  6. I had one of these as my first 5 string - great bass!
  7. 1) know your schitt 2) take spares, but don’t be the one that everyone relies on for theirs, that’s just enabling them. unless you charge for it.
  8. Billy Jack B&tch - The purple one.
  9. I really use to enjoy playing 'Man in a box' by Alice in Chains, so that gets my vote. Other notable additions to my list would be 'My Wave' and 'the day I tried to live' from Soundgarden.
  10. I stand by my assertion.
  11. Gene Simmons: Everything.
  12. Gastric band?
  13. Elvis done a couple of films too.
  14. Does Kiss saves Christmas count?
  15. Is it too early for ‘200 Motels’? Bonus point as it has Zappa, various Mothers and Ringo Starr.
  16. I’ve got a NW jazz neck on my Bitsa P bass and it’s lovely; very high quality neck. GLWTS!
  17. Can I recommend that you u-snails from now on?
  18. If you can find one then the DHA VT2 is a two channel valve overdrive. Glorious.
  19. Great little board - covers the essentials perfectly.
  20. Kate Butch
  21. Not so; it does what it's supposed to do, but at an inflated cost to the alternative.
  22. 100 Miles and runnin' - NWA
