  3. Save and get a Gretsch
  4. It`s been well documented that Jeff Lynn wanted to recreate the orchestral tone and structure of Magical Mystery tour era Beatles compositions. No suprise that others have pillaged the pillager.

  5. OK gents, handbags at dawn,no bricks concealed. I wanna see a clean fight. Simile and the world similes with you...
  6. Now, this is a bit more fun. There was me, mendin me clog to the tune of "Over the Wire" an wun o me whippets got at the pigeons and being on me own like as the good lady wife was off gravy wrestling I ad to cope on me own. I thought Daz post was funny, and I`m sure Sullivan will find it funny too.

  9. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1333965585' post='1608718'] In keeping with the celebration of the resurrection of the LORD. [b]You mean Morrissey has a new CD out?[/b] La Bella make FX, FL FS and FM which increase in tension throught the range, as far as I can make out. There was a thread on TalkBass stating that if you go for FMs you may have to adjust your truss rod, but I can't confirm that. I'm using 760FLs and they seem very balanced and even with a nice low-mid 'tone'. Can we say 'tone', now? . And they're [i]very [/i]smooth and shiny. I'm very impressed with them. [/quote] Ta for that, I`m in. Black silks ..yum.
  10. I think music ,less so in Europe more so here, is completely interlinked to style and image. If you can`t identify with a certain "pose" or stance, you won`t go near the music either,because you won`t feel there`s anything "cool" there. To "get" something, you need to be able to get inside the head of whoever is doing it, and feel like it chimes with what`s inside you. For me, iron maiden,ac/.dc rainbow ,metallica etc, I really couldn`t and still can`t identify with the denim/big white trainers/fluffy hair/studded belt ,thinking you`re a viking with an "Ax" fighting evil sorcerors/how many notes can I stuff into this bar stuff. Now, Queens of the Stone age are almost my favourite band. Not a million miles away from the previous lot but to me they feel a lot cooler and more like how I would want to be seen myself. As we age, we get less precious about this and often revisit styles and music we wouldn`t touch when younger because we can now recognise the musical ideas under all that style. So, once again it is "Not what you do, but the way that you do it". And whats it got to do with a Coldplay CD?
  11. Ahem... "Kik" drum. less ink, innit? Never used chops for anything other than a nice meal. Never been in or out of the pocket. I don`t think I care too much what people with instruments* say. It`s what they do that gets me. We all do it I suppose, it`s the musical equivalent of wandering thoughts, but when a song ends and someone immediately starts twiddling some nonsense totally unrelated to the tune under scrutiny,well...It`s obvious you don`t have their full attention. I just want to set them on fire and beat it out with a golf shoe. My anger management therapist says that`s all perfectly normal. *as opposed to musicians
  12. Looks like baby jesus? What`s the difference between the La Bella FS and FM strings then? I`m tottering on the brink of flats for the first time in my life also. So many strings,so little time.
  13. Done all of that and worse. I`ve even done it when working as an Engineer and gotten to a gig 100 miles away,set the P.A up.... no P.A cables... Late show that turned out to be.. Checklist now, on unit door and a fetish for spares for the spare spares.
  14. Guys, it`s an auction.... And it`s a bit crap. Can`t see you banging out yer fave Nick Beggs chops on that.
  15. Tap it, unwrap it.....20 golden segments....
  16. Nice bass. But I`m biased.
  17. Hello all, I`ve been offered an Ibanez Blazer BL800,the wine body/maple neck with white PG version which I think is 82. It`s a bit rusty and dinged to feck. Not been used for a few years. App price? I`m thinking £60. Too low/high?
  18. I bought Bens bands P.A cabs and I`m very happy with the condition and price. Ben was in touch all through the deal via email and texts,let me take a week to raise the cash and left work early for my convenience to demo the gear for me. Absolutely great guy, trade with utmost confidence. Thanks Ben. MM
