The line that always cracks me up is when Sid descibes Steve Jones; 'I thought he looked like a turtle.' [/quote] Sid was always a bright witty guy. John Lydon mentions his off the cuff put downs when he was being harassed during his Bowie phase. He was living in the West Country before moving to London as a youngster as was known as Bristol John to his mates because of this accent.

Sid is quite a tragic character. I knew a person who was around the band and it was alleged he was abused in the communes in Ibiza he was raised in as a child. That and having a junkie mother who supplied him with heroin made for a bad mix. I think it was Viv Albertine who mentioned his adult bed wetting. That and a penchant for animal cruelty could be signs of childhood trauma. Very sad.

How about 3 notes on the bass? [media]http://youtu.be/vxqWdSOVI9U[/media]

Cum On Feel The Noize

Helium? That was taken by Spector. A light weight bass from North of the border? Scotch Mist perhaps? Congratulations, looks like a cracker

If you're just wanting it built up then I'll do it for you. No charge like.

Leave it Jack, they're just kidz

I like being left alone in a shop. If I want help I'll ask

You should have started the thread title with VOTE! and then you'd have got a few more

Right. Easy. Stick it on the white one, for the contrast and that.

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1448737016' post='2917812'] One reply? This IS going well. [/quote] Well, what colour is the bridge? Plus what colours are the tuners as it all might clash!

My missus has bought plenty of (non-bass) things through Ali Express and while sometimes there are communication issues dealing with Chinese speakers (or readers) she's never had a problem. She's returned stuff too and got her money back with no problems. Although depending on the reason for return you may have to pay the postage. When she's returned stuff her postage has been refunded.

I thought it was great. The best thing I've heard him do in a long while, but then he draws a cock on it 3/4 of the way through. He's a funny bloke Bowie, part musical genius/revolutionary, part regurgitator of kitch nonsence. It feels like a song where he lost his bottle after a stellar opening.

Alien Sex Fiend are the best bad band I've ever seen. I bloody love them, but find myself in agreement with their detractors. What makes them bad makes them good in equal measure. But whatever the weather they turn up and give it laldie and this is where other more talented musicians could take note.

I think we'll all be hanging off rubber bands on the back of some future dictators War Rig.

Samson. Who what Bruce Dickinson sang for.

I saw Whitesnake in Newcastle City Hall around '82. Completely dull and uninspiring. Each song seemed to have a 10 minute solo where the rest of the band left the stage. When it was done they left the stage to a recording of Wish You Well. Not only was it monumentally dull, but they played a record of their own stuff sooner than play it live! This was the ultimate sin for me and I've never given them house room since. Soon after Coverdale sacked the band and replaced them with poodle hairdo's in duster coats. w***ers, the lot of them.

Maybe look at another active circuit that is better, simpler and more readily available?

Was there something up with the Moog stuff that made people take them out?
