Curd It Be Magic - Donna Summer

I'd look out for a MicroThumpinator pedal if you're going to run it hard. It's a High Pass filter which cuts out very low frequencies, which apart from being inaudible to human ears, also suck power in order to generate said frequencies. This puts the drivers in your cab under a lot of unnecessary pressure which can cause them to flap and overheat with no audible benefit.

I don't need another bass (until I see something I like the look of, and then within 10 minutes it becomes absolutely essential that I buy it).

Helter Skelter - The Beatles

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun - Pink Floyd

Jive Talkin'- BeeGees

Take Me To the River - Al Green

Anything with fast slap in it.

GK Fusion 550 is about the only amp left on my bucket list now. Never heard one but I bet it sounds gorgeous.

Highway Star - Deep Purple

Turn, Turn, Turn - The Byrds

I'd rather have a good band member than a good musician who doesn't pull their weight aside from performing.

My Koo Cashew - Alvin Stardust

It can certainly be frustrating. I play regularly in 2 bands. In one we rehearse regularly but there's always someone who can't make a gig. Sometimes really trivial reasons. So much work and expense for very little in return. The other band, we've never rehearsed once. We get plenty of local gigs and make reasonable money, but it's very difficult to add anything into the setlist and it's getting a bit boring and stale. I'm also getting old and have back and shoulder problems so that doesn't help. I don't want to throw the towel in because a gig nearly always gives me a bit of a lift, even if I suffer a bit for it. It's the only time in my life that anyone applauds something I do. I'm hopefully moving house soon so that might be a catalyst for change, one way or another. I have problems imagining being surrounded by all the lovely stuff I own with no use real for any of it.

From The Beginning - Emerson Lake & Palmer
