The Wind Up Birds. I didn't know I loved the Leeds accent until I heard them. It adds so much to the music. Not just accent but dialect as well. If you take this couplet from There Won't Always Be An England the scene is all the more vivid for not being overdressed in pretentious language

you got it! easy tiger 🐯

A couple of months back I hit on a Facebook advert which ended up with me chatting to the man who runs Impure Guitars. I really liked the inventiveness and imagination evident in his work, and so a seed was planted. I sent him pictures of basses I liked the look of, just randomly culled from a Google image search without too much thought. He came back with a sketch of an idea for a body shape. The seed sprouted! After a bit of back and forth we realised my original idea of a lump of old charred reclaimed timber and some hillbilly, rustic stylings were not compatible with the shape and style we were developing. So the idea now is more late 50s Atomic Age. The project has begun.

I use the term pointy heads with great affection.

I shall await with interest for it to be released on normal phones.

You did, and I did, but it had to go along with a lot of other stuff when I got hit hard with some big bills. That was a great pedal.

Bought a great pedal from Andy, wonderful guy to deal with ,friendly, open, honest and quick to respond. Delighted to recommend him.

You know I'm already a massive HB fan... but (and this will make me sound silly) I want to pair a jazz with my Bass Centre P Bass, which is china white with tort pickguard.

Careful, I think we're in danger of straying slightly off topic.

I hate that too, my new bread machine bakes a perfect loaf but that damn paddle always leaves a hole in the bottom. I could use the dough setting and put it in the oven, but I think that defeats the object, don't you?

OK fellow cheapskates, your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to find me an affordable (cheap) white jazz with tort plate and dark wood board. This is merely an exercise I doubt I'll be buying any time soon. But you never know!

I know, but the Zoom is staying regardless. It just does way too much too well.

According to the blurb... "The functionality is excellently guaranteed" You can't argue with that.

I'm sure!

Hi folks, any of the pointy heads here know if this is Firefox being overly cautious or if it's actually something the BC should be made aware of?

Like everyone else I find it easier to think of bands who's chase for financial success appeared to take them down different musical avenues from those which I enjoyed. However. I got into Pulp once they became commericially succesful. I've listened to the albums which preceded their breakout, Different Class, and while there are some good or interesting tunes their later stuff, and Jarvis' solo work, is much more to my liking. Early in my musical odyssey I liked Sweet and T.Rex, but was quite perplexed by their pre-fame offerings. In fairness I was about 8. I don't dislike Thin Lizzy's early albums as such, but Johnny The Fox and Jailbreak transformed them and for the better - to my ears. Oh and the Soup Dragons were better once aboard the baggy bandwagon.

What a smashing bloke Davie is. I got a real sense of genuine warmth throughout our wee transaction. As he began packing he found (as I'm sure many of us have) some overlooked, microscopic flaws in the paint work, which he instantly drew to my attention offering me an 'out' if I wanted it. Oh and when the bass arrived it was packed to be bulletproof, a man after my own heart with the bubblewrap and boxes. In fact the Lidl's veg boxes were so cleverly used that I shall be adopting the same method for all my future bass deliveries. A wonderful Basschatter, a patient, honest and friendly man whom I have not the slightest hesitation in recommending to you all.

As many folk quite rightly noticed I totally messed up on number 4 and selected a phaser clone thinking it was the chorus clone on a Zoom MS-60B 🤦🏼‍♂️ The list in full : 01) Mooer Pitch Box not technically a chorus pedal but the 'detune' mode is effectively a chorus. 02) Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus 03) Behringer FX600 Digital Multi-FX 04) Zoom MS-60B EHX clone 05) MXR bass chorus deluxe

I hear you! I parted with my Trace set up. Huge Bi-amp behemoth and smaller workhorse. I replaced with what I consider the best Trace I have ever used a GP12SMX, and the tiniest, an Elf. The Elf astonishes me at rehearsal, but I have yet to gig with it.

I belive Booker T and his MGs were jamming around a riff while in the studio. The single they'd recorded needed a B-side and much to the band's surprise their 'jam' was deemed to be suitable. The guitarist was asked to move the guitar part to a different point in the song and that was that. One of the musicians thought the tune stank so bad they should call it onions. Deciding that spring onions (or green onions as they're called stateside) are more palatable to more people, they went with that instead...

He's a heck of a player

no problem, that's what I needed to know, thank you.

Nothing to apologise for.

What about the ends? I can't find anything online toi say what they are and wondered if the strap itself gave any clues?

Hi, can you tell me what materials these are made from?
