[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1450450468' post='2932977'] Reaper is very, very efficient... [/quote] ...at propagating US spellings.

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1450441852' post='2932848'] What a pub quiz question: What do David Cameron, Curtly Ambrose, Richard Hammond and Hulk Hogan have in common? [/quote] Does it involve a pig's head?

No mention yet of Stop the Cavalry? Hearing that is my cue to start feeling Christmassy... and I haven't heard it yet this year!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1450357092' post='2931961'] I've not heard the album, but the song just shouts 'class', something lacking in most recordings. It's maybe of a different age though, where the product was more important ? [/quote] I refer you to Mr colgraff's post above....

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1450279100' post='2931300'] Johnny Mathis. I have my mum to thank for that as she subjected my younger self to his warblings relentlessly ! [/quote] "The production on that album is amazing..."

Some people really don't like him: I was in a sports footwear shop and I overheard someone ask for "non-Mark King soul".

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1450345988' post='2931789'] Where can I find some of Non King's music to listen to? [/quote] Try this: [media]http://youtu.be/_Uu12zY01ts[/media]

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1450262719' post='2931040'] That's a bit of a grey area. [/quote] I'll admit it does sound like a wilde theory.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1450262406' post='2931031'] Has anyone tried storing a portrait of their basses in the attic to stop them from ageing? [/quote] That only works if you play exclusively in Dorian mode.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1450179984' post='2930249'] However your average music consumer will want to stick to what they consider the "safe" options which means iTunes, Amazon, and listening on Spotify. [/quote] Also - and perhaps especially - YouTube. This is where my 12yo goes to listen to music. You don't need to have a "proper" video to have a presence there - although if can make one, all the better - a still picture or a simple slideshow will do.

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1450174657' post='2930180'] SoundCloud has a free download option somewhere as well, [/quote] There's a limit of 100 on how many times a track can be downloaded - at least at the free membership level.

How could I have forgotten this one? [media]http://youtu.be/CEToKGfjlmM[/ media]

I'll get this one in, by Hook (or by crook) [media]http://youtu.be/6dBt3mJtgJc[/media]

[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1449843470' post='2927432'] Joni - Dry Cleaner from Des Moines [/quote] Nah, that's just aimless noodling.

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1449780991' post='2926852'] John Lydon's latest book is quite revealing about what went on with Sid before, during and after the Pistols. Seems like he was a half-wit with security issues who wanted to be the next Bowie and became dangerously smitten with the New York Dolls' smackhead lifestyle and image. I feel sorry for the guy really. [/quote] And it looks like McLaren had no qualms about exploiting that

[quote name='Rikki_Sixx' timestamp='1449760896' post='2926600'] I've heard sleep is when your muscle memory is truly built [/quote] Yes, that's my excuzzzzzzzzzzzz....

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1449742958' post='2926365'] and I've just had a look at the sellers other items and found this!

Following several threads which suggest that the greatness of certain bass players is not in fact universally acknowledged, it appears that something similar may be true of albums....

On the plus side, the shipping cost of £12.50 seems quite reasonable.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1449678296' post='2925898'] James Bay, City Lights and The Hi Rollers have collaborated on a single. Their Facebook pages indicate they are looking for a name for the new Band. [/quote] How about Sit Down? That's one of James's Hi-Lights...

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1449661492' post='2925640'] Business analysts have predicted that global warming is set to make Island Records eclipse Sony BMG. [/quote] Is that based on last year's Harvest? It may come from people with Charisma from across the Atlantic but it's not a Universal view.... hang on, sorry about that ringing from the other room, it's my Parlour Phone.

"What did Paul McCartney ever do for us?"

Another theory: he actually has no intention of selling it, it's his pride and joy and he just wants to show it off!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1449496004' post='2923985'] Not played one myself but the best slap tone I've heard from a Gibson bass was on a late 70s Gibson Ripper. [/quote] [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1449496018' post='2923986'] Somebody may well come along & correct me, but if you're really into slapping I don't think a Gibson is going to be the right bass for you.

[/quote] Argh! More temptation... I bought Kontakt 1/2 price in last year's sale, and have never looked back!
