Japhet

Reliced - a perfectly good instrument that has been left in the outside lane of the M25 for a couple of days to make it appear that it, and its' handler, have got plenty of miles on the clock.

Love 'em and miss Ian Dury loads. Would love to get some of their stuff in our set list but it's an uphill battle. Have a go at Clever Trevor or If I was with a Woman. 2 of my favorites

I use a Way Huge Green Rhino on that song. Sounds alright to me.

Aqualung - Jethro Tull.

Spent a Sunday afternoon in a pub in Highgate with Tony Hadleigh many years ago. A mate of mine was decorating his house and got me to price up some work he wanted doing on his Jag. He was a really down to earth bloke and a good laugh as well.

You should really contact the owner of the shop to let him/her know how crap the staff have been. People often work extremely hard to build up a business but the staff they employ really couldn't give a toss.

10,000 give or take at 57. Woohoo! I'm the deafest on here so far!

Mad as a box of frogs.

I've got a Digitech Bad Monkey sitting around. Quite happy to send it to you if you want to try it out. Then, you can buy it if you like it or send it back. PM me if you're interested. It's a good sounding pedal for a cheapie and can be modified to sound even better for bass.

Great voice. She's quite a character too.

Straight off to try to find some Janet and John CDs. Happy memories that I'm sure many others will miss as well.

I'm using the Diago Patch Factory kit which is essentially the same as the George L set. The reason I use these is that I can position the pedals I use most at the front of the board but run the whole lot in whatever order I like without making it look like a bowl of spaghetti.

Was going to be Calexico at the Barbican, but thanks to RickyV above, Jo Harman at The Apex, Bury St Edmunds is now top of the list.

Had a Mk VI and gigged it for years. Masses of power and absolutely bullet proof. It had a huge range of tone options as well. It did however feel like one end of it had been filled with concrete.

I use mine at the beginning of my effects chain (always on) and have a Way Huge Green Rhino further along for a more driven sound. Seems to work well.

At a time when the general population seem to live into their late 80/90s, we seem to be losing a lot of celebrities very young. All very sad.

I'm more relaxed listening to other people play which I assume makes it better to listen to. When I'm playing I'm trying to get the job done.

Depends a lot on the genre of music. Lyrics in rock and funk can be complete rubbish if the power or groove are strong. Likewise,a lot of ballads can have average music but the lyrics can make the song special. Great music is a combination of both.

Tilting your amp or cab up a bit helps if you can't hear too well otherwise the sound is focussed around knee height.

Zoom B3.

Haven't read through the whole thread so apologies if I've repeated anyone else but, would many people have paid thousands of pounds/dollars, or indeed even heard of Fodera without Victor Wooten?

Jazz is a big miss for me. Some of it I love and some of it sounds like tipping a load of musical instruments off a cliff. It's such a huge genre I wouldn't really know where to start or find the stuff that interests me. Same goes classical music. There are plenty of other genres I don't like much and can't be bothered to explore and other stuff that leaves me thinking 'why would you want to listen to that?'

The man has gone. What song does it for you? For me; Lady Grinning Soul (with the gorgeous bassline from Trevor Bolder.
