  1. I couldn't get past stuff in different keys and trying to remember that if you saw a note it either had to be flat or sharp, sometimes a whole load of them in a given key. Way to complicated for my limited brain power. Then trying to get to grips with crotchets, quavers and all the rest of it convinced me I was only ever going to play by ear with a smattering of chord progression knowledge chucked in. I only started learning theory because I was in a band with a load of 'proper' musicians who seemed to be talking a whole different language to me and I didn't understand a word of it.
  2. Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits
  3. All White Now - Free
  4. Does it crackle all of the time. One of my amps crackles a bit but if I adjust the master volume a smidge it stops doing it. Probably needs pots cleaning and a bit of a service.
  5. Drum machines can be quite expensive. I reckon an old tumble drier with a couple of bricks, some pebbles and a handful of pea shingle would work for us.
  6. Roundabout - Yes
  7. Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull
  8. She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby
  9. You've reminded me, so thanks. A while back, in a fit of boredom, I bought a Green Russian. I have no idea why because to my mind, fuzz on bass is bloody awful noise. I'll be putting it in the F/S section soon as I get round to doing some pictures.
  10. Poison - Alice Cooper
  11. New York State of Mind - Alicia Keys
  12. Wild Horses - Mick, Keef and the boys.
  13. As you say, probably a lot to do with playing technique and style. I play pretty light with my fingers but quite hard if I slap, so consequently, I use a fair bit of compression. The Filter Twin absolutely loved this and produced some epic sounds.
  14. I had the M82 and an Aguilar Filter Twin when I was playing the kind of stuff that needed an envelope filter. Out of the 2 I much preferred the Filter Twin because, as you say, I found the MXR a bit thin sounding. Just personal preference though. The M82 got shifted pretty quickly.
  15. Flowers in the Rain - The Move
  16. Rain - Status Quo
  17. Space Invader - The Pretenders
  18. Lilac Wine - Elkie Brookes
  19. I Can't Go For That - Hall & Oates
  20. Only a helmet would buy that.
  21. Ace of Spades - Motorhead
  22. Too Much American Pie - Sensational Alex Harvey Band
  23. Girls on Film - Duran Duran
  24. If I Were a Carpenter - Tim Hardin
