[quote name='Cjd191' timestamp='1339536713' post='1690305'] Me and my dad have just bought tickets to go and see these two live with a full band at Ronnie Scotts on the 21st July. Really looking forward to this, both of them are awesome musicians. Anybody else going to watch? [/quote] depending which tickets you have is worth getting there early on the evening and getting right near front of queue as they allocate the seating on the night on a first come first served basis so if you at the front of the queue you stand a good chance of being seated at the tables right at the front edge of the stage

Hi there, nice to be with you, glad you could stick around. Like to introduce `Legs' Larry Smith, drums And Sam Spoons, rhythm pole And Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, bass guitar And Neil Innes, piano. Come in Rodney Slater on the saxophone With Roger Ruskin Spear on tenor sax. I, Vivian Stanshall, trumpet. Big hello to Big John Wayne, xylophone And Robert Morley, guitar. Billy Butlin, spoons. And looking very relaxed, Adolf Hitler on vibes. Nice! Princess Anne on sousaphone. Mmm. Introducing Liberace, clarinet With Garner "Ted" Armstrong on vocals. Lord Snooty and his pals, tap dancing. In the groove with Harold Wilson, violin And Franklin McCormack on harmonica. Over there, Eric Clapton, ukulele. Hi Eric! On my left Sir Kenneth Clark, bass sax. A great honour, sir. And specially flown in for us, a session's gorilla on vox humana. Nice to see Incredible Shrinking Man on euphonium. Drop out with Peter Scott on duck call. Hearing from you later, Casanova on horn. Yeah! Digging General de Gaulle on accordion. Rather wild, General! Thank you, sir. Roy Rogers on Trigger. Tune in Wild Man of Borneo on bongos. Count Basie Orchestra on triangle. Thank you.

Arthur Rank, on gong. err is that 40 covered yet ??? and for the benefit of our younger basschatters [media]http://youtu.be/8DUEAG5eO6c[/media]

shop are just adding their cut onto the courier fee which is standard retail practice i guess - ive used ukmail several times to do 'third party collection' - is especially useful for bulky purchases and consignements are all covered minimum 500 insurance with more if required - the only real risk is trusting whether the sender has wrapped it up well enough - shops are usually ok with this but [i]some[/i] auction sellers seem to think a black plastic bin liner and a couple of elastic bands will do the job

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1341054572' post='1713247'] I meant to add: I prefer stage left, so the risk of headstock/cymbal clashing is reduced. [/quote] this - and luckily most drummers have snare/hihat to the left too which i find an advantage as they tend to be looking more or less your way more often than not

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1341047825' post='1713131'] hes also brother to the famous soul sister Vivienne McKone.. another great track with his epic playing.. [/quote] [font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][b][color=#800080][size=6][i]LUSH[/i][/size][/color][/b][/font]

why 2 necks? the sound of equal amounts of neck+bridge on a J is awesome imo am guessing you might find the bridge a bit harsh and burpy but used in moderation mixed in with the neck it really does add that bit of extra definition the other issue apart from wiring is pole spacing - a J matched pair will not be identical size/spacing - there is approx total 4-5mm difference in pole/string positioning between the neck and bridge

i use ukmail regularly - if you can stick to monday to friday the rates are lower - sats is usually a premium rate with all courier companys rate also depends on volumetric weight - what is it?

oh hai there i hz 7string jem - my what big cymbal u hv edit - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/27655-daily-annoyances/page__view__findpost__p__1713069"]maybe this guy should hook up with him[/url]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1340913315' post='1711546'] In a sense both inspire me in the same way that I don't want to be like either of them. [/quote] this

on a topical note that olympics/muse tosh springs to mind

terry bozzio's hi-hat bill brufords snare not the biggest fan of slapping but marcus millers slap has a distinctive ring to it seems to be independent of technical skill too id say - david bowies sax tone is always instantly recognisable

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1340885048' post='1710980'] That would be the photographer then! [/quote] no chance !! the air temp was about 60-ish but the wind is about 30 knots and the sea temperature is only a few degrees above freezing the beach itself is about 100+ yards wide of pure white quartz sand and is about 5 miles long in a big sweeping arc - i was the only person on the beach that afternoon [url="https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-51.897469,-58.370275&spn=0.041418,0.077162&t=h&z=14&lci=com.panoramio.all,weather"]https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-51.897469,-58.370275&spn=0.041418,0.077162&t=h&z=14&lci=com.panoramio.all,weather[/url]

what on earth have commersons dolphins got to do with pino palladino?

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340880296' post='1710860'] Dolphins? Killer whales more like [/quote] thats what i thought wehen i first saw them but they are dolphins - peale's i believe [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/andypollard/5512090728/"]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andypollard/5512090728/[/url] - they do have killer whales out there but i guess the whales only come in that close if there is a tasty seal snack at the waters edge

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1340878720' post='1710826'] So in summary it's a success? [/quote] well that depends on your viewpoint and your agenda edit - sorry forgot to add my worthless opinion ... overproduced tosh

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1340876213' post='1710757'] Yeah! Go and have your stupid frigging bank argument in Off Topic. Thhhhpp!! [/quote] indeed thats exactly why i posted the other thread so we could all have a good old whinge and then come to this thread for calm reflection here's a nice picture of some dolphins which i took earlier. 22 years earlier to be more precise

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1340875777' post='1710742'] Well considering they were given £20 billion a couple of years ago... [/quote] excuse me this is the chill thread

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1340875643' post='1710736'] Is a fine of £290m a slap on the wrist for Barclays? [/quote] imo yes it is - they are prepared to pay this much out for their top bonuses so its hardly going to hurt them is it - please fell free to contribute to the barclays thread

yes the solos can be quite challenging start off with an easy teenage new york version type solo or something a bit more musically accessible - 'watermelon in easter hay' perhaps then once you got the hang of what he is doing with his solos try perhaps the sheikh yerbouti version of 'yo mama' personally i like the written solo lines as much as franks improv - some of the lines he wrote for steve vai and mike keneally are just staggering and technically way surpassing anything that steve vai has subsequently written for himself imho his influence is profound especially with his ex band members - check out any of mike keneallys solo material and the 'less commercial' vai stuff - one particularly nice solo track is warren cuccurrullo's tribute 'thanks to frank' [url="http://youtu.be/Q5aOXKVD0nU"]http://youtu.be/Q5aOXKVD0nU[/url] unfortunately the solo at 2:02 has been edited and cut short but it gives you the idea that he is total master of the sublime guitar solo (this band line up is pretty amazing too) [url="http://youtu.be/usC2msFdX94"]http://youtu.be/usC2msFdX94[/url]

ok so after everybody has read the news and wondered why numerous banking/trading staff are not being investigated by the serious fraud office (or are they?) and why the FSA have pussied out and given barclays a slap on the wrist that would barely amount to a days wages for the average person ... this should help bring your blood pressure back down to safe levels please feel free to add your own suggestions for calm inducing ideas - even whale songs- but not wales songs if they involve that screechy cerys woman and relax....
