Stop bringing facts into it. What we demand is rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

I hadn't noticed that missing D in the chorus before - must have been mentally filling it in. Will have to do that next rehearsal and see if anyone notices.

We should be able to find out soon.

Now deFendered - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275847466773. And somebody's bid at £99.

I never realised there were acoustic Bongoes.

I thought the intro on the "live" version was going to lead into "A Little Respect" by Erasure.

Sounds a lot better without all that vocal processing on the official video on page 1 that apparently doesn't exist.

It's sometimes possible to mistake the context, of course.

I wouldn't describe them as dark, as I don't even know what dark means in an aural context. I thought they were somewhat lacking in clarity, a bit woolly. If mine had come with the original Barts in it, I'd have thought about the suggested change to Aguilars, but as it came with the Aguilars already in, that saved making the decision.

Mine too, my fretless Thumb NT started as a fat neck fretted and got slimmed and defretted.

I do believe so. Photos of him in other bands are available (see upthread).

Which would allow comments to be added to each photo featuring him.

Nice. Slim neck or fat?

It doesn't always go right though - sometimes the performers can't hear the backing, with predictable results.

I'm trying to edge the band towards doing songs that people will be familiar with but that covers bands don't often do. It's what a previous band did and that was very well received.

The vocals are in a different key. See also any Smiths song.

Well, I can tell it from the sound my arris makes.

Roger Daltrey could still belt it out pretty well a few years back (haven't seen him recently), although he's dropped into a lower register now. Opera singers, of course, are the pinnacle of vocal accomplishment. Who can forget that most magnificent of them all?

I've got an office chair with swivelling arms, and I just drop the right arm if I feel the need the left arm doesn't get in the way. I just have to remember that it's swivelled down afterwards.

Why would they have made a mirror-image trussrod cover for the sake of flipping the photos for no good reason? It's a right-handed bass as can easily be discerned from the headstock. They've just set the handedness wrong in the description.

If you vacuum it, will it make a sound like an EBow?

It's a good song when Free do it.

SHA is in G. I must admit that for 50 years I've been playing the bit under the solo wrong as I haven't been putting that alternating open A in. Now I can't manage to change to play it correctly - not that anyone notices, they're more likely to notice if I try and play it properly and c0ck it up. And I wouldn't be playing the sodding thing at all if it wasn't that the rest of the band seemed all enthusiastic about it - I'd rather do Wishing Well which, although nearly as hackneyed, is at least more interesting to play.

Too late now, the gig was on Friday.

The absence of truss-rod and the thick neck put me off. If it wasn't for that, I'd have sampled his creations before now.
