    Who are these people?

    Elton played piano on the Hollies Can’t Tell the Bottom from the Top. My pal wrote it.

    Mega. Mega. Did I say Mega?

    Sometimes I used to go out with just the Ten and it filled quite large rooms. I’ve still got it and use it when we have to set up on a carpet. The mids really cut through where a 12 would just sound mushy.

    Depends how much additional headroom you need. I used to find that a Wizzy 10 was enough, it lifted the mids and somehow managed to put some extra bottom into the 12.

    I defer to your superior knowledge, Creeper. I only just scraped Physics A levels but went on to bluff my way to success. So there’s hope for us all I suppose.

    Run a bath, then put the bass in it. Measure the volume of water displaced ( make before and after marks on the side of the bath) and calculate the weight of the bass according to Archimedes. Then take the next five days to dry out the electronics and check the neck for any warps. This will save you the £5. May need refinishing.

    The DBs live in the upstairs study, amps, cabs and stands in the garage.

    From Mike Arnapol. That’s a winner!

    Two pics, 57 years apart. I hope the B&W won’t frighten the horses.

    No, I wasn’t referring to a tip jar which I consider a bit tacky both at private and public gigs. Thing is, a lot of private work comes through agencies so the host doesn’t often get a chance to pay the band at the end. So he shows his appreciation in a tip, often £5-£10 per man.

    The tips can be good.

    147 replies so far. Come on guys, I’m sure we can get this pointless discussion up to 150 by the end of the day.

    I played a big band gig off one of Buddy’s charts some time ago. The tempo sig was given as Orgasmo Furioso. When I politely inquired I was told it meant Go Like Fcuk. No kiddin’. BTW it is said that in his long career BR was never ever happy with any snare he used.
  15. bassace
    Sorry, yes.

    Love Hammond, hate Fender Rhodes. And what about that bloody wooden box that the pub landlord sits on and bangs, out of time?

    Music stand.

    There has been quite a tide of pop knighthoods over the past few years, so who’s next, I wonder. Sir Sting perhaps? And Mark Knoffler does a lot of ‘good works’. Any ideas

    And Thyrwitt’s wife has also got a gong for services to retail. WTFx2!

    Sat 14th good for me.

    Last time I saw The Who, Pete Townshend was using an iPad on a mic stand. I think it was for chords but he should know them by now, shouldn’t he?

    But not good for jazz. I’ve only recently been forgiven for wearing a red jacket.
  23. bassace
    And if the gig is outdoors don’t forget the clothes pegs!
  24. bassace
    Not unexpected.

    Have you tried UPS? I rate them highly. But don’t touch Hermes with a bargepole.
