I got my B/F kit a while back - steel grilles - I used to play some interesting gigs...steel don't rip.. spookily, I stopped gigging completely after i re-equipped..

I've got a Marshall 200 rackmount - amazingly silly fan noise - my amptech sorted it by installing three slower units - the difference is amazing.

Matamps have a thirty second 'warm-up' cycle, according to Jeff Lewis when I asked him about putting standby switches on my kit.

In my defence - the guest actually had died - it was lucky that there was a trained paramedic amongst the 'revellers' who managed to get him to restart.

In total desperation I played Hot Chocolate 'You Sexy Thing' to a New Years Eve party of the living dead. It worked - for about two minutes, until some ba8tard who had been boozing all day had a heart attack & killed the night for everyone - sad to say he survived (I'm all heart).

^ ^ ^ Great - I'll take it - money to the usual (Nigerian) post box?

Can you buy virgins armpit hair on E Bay?

Quack - thanks Tim - anniversaries can be worse - that subtle glow of lust wore off years back...........

Weddings are a total pain in the *rse - I've done a few over the years -

Yeah, but we had J.R. Hartley, Ford Zodiacs and dodgy politicians it was soooooooo much better then..........

I always thought that the Beatles were a pretty good business model........

If you can find it, the part two (b side) of the Chuck Brooks single version of this is full of amazing menace (and musicianship).

You had WABC 'music radio' We had the Light programme (and Radio Luxembourg) The difference was amazing (listen to Dan Ingram sometime) I'm sure there's a link to the kulure stuff here.........

Back in the day, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I had a wonderful business relationship with Arthurs Press @ Stroud - now long gone.... they could turn round a 100 quad crown(40"x30") order in 24hours, with only a telephone call for confirmation...... (sighs & shuffles off, stage left)

Actually, after listening to that Snowman thing, Mustang Santa ain't that bad an idea..........

Sorry about post 21 - I misread the thread title - as 'terrible Christmas songs'..........

Attempt at being creative - Mustang Santa ? All right, I'm going....just stop throwing stuff..........

I've got a clutch of Matamps (valve) and a Crown 2000.(class D) The Crown is audibly 'faster' on the response, the valve kit not so, but sounds 'meatier' (heft?), I prefer the valve stuff, but then it's what I grew up with, and that's important...........

http://barefacedbass.com/ should tell you all you need to know.............

............ look at Barefaced?........... vvv try the website - not cheap but very good (imo) vvvvvv

Those of us of a certain (ahem) age will remember 'Ready Steady Go' on commercial tv on Friday nights. I notice that the Beeb is now about to launch a Friday night 'new pop show' (oh dear) [color=#404040][font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]"Broadcast live from Television Centre, it promises to feature "the hottest bands and artists in the world", alongside interviews and sketches."[/size][/font][/color] [color=#404040][font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Make of it what you will...........[/size][/font][/color] [color=#404040][font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color][color=#404040][font=Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color]

I used to leave a (real) German Shepherd in mine - never had a problem.............

I gave it a miss - no fan of JH & the beeb never have had a clue about mixing this kind of stuff. Shame, because it could have been one of those 'must see' moments. I'll keep playing the originals............
