Same here. We had enough regular Consuls, Zephyrs and Zodiacs though. If I understand the WP article correctly, the estates of the Mk II were conversions.

Exactly what part of "NO PARKING" was hard for you to edit out in MS Paint, @Silvia Bluejay? 😉 Oh, and great pic. Love the Zodiac estate - - a model I didn't even remember.

Here ya go:

Ha! I had no idea. The whole time, I thought JJ had done a Dave Davies. The true story is funnier indeed.

Yeah, at least the Wurlitzer was like that. Add solder with your soldering iron, and if necessary remove some of that again with a file. The Rhodes OTOH had small, moveable springs (spiral type) near the tines' ends.

When will they be repairing JJ's speaker cones? 🙃

Yup. After a life crisis, me burnt-out and heavily depressed, I bought at least one bass, amp, cab or multi-effects unit each month, for 36 months. Desperate nights and a finger on a mouse button ... Since, I've become a bit healthier, and am now more able to fight this. Not perfectly yet, but I'm slowly getting there.

Kinda enough to be the Guild M-85? It featured much in the documentary. Reportedly rare as hens' teeth.

I understand it is still thus. 🙂

For me it's still "Tuesday Night Music Club" and a few individual songs. Have never followed her career, but plan to do so retrospectively after having watched the documentary a good number of times. Must admit my perspective on her is influenced negatively by Kevin Gilbert's story about the mentioned album and its aftermath, in which Kevin painted her in a dim light.

Success! Congrats on this. Very satisfying, innit, to have done it yourself and to have succeeded? You're also better than me: my Roland still stands unrepaired. all the best, bert

Fantastic post for an LLM. They've really upped their game! 😉

Yeah, very sneaky, and a normal, trusting human can easily be tricked. Me, I'm not normal but still normally trusting. However, my hate for confidence tricksters is such that I actively track new accounts' activities - if and when I have the time.

@SumOne, the post you quoted was highly likely to be from an account made for spamming or scamming. Inane, LLM-written content in necro-threads is one of the methods for making accounts "clean" before the spamming/scamming starts - - either immediately or after some months of hiatus - - the hiatus too adding to the "cleanness". Another forum was virtually "taken over" by these bots/people, so I think it's best to be vigilant about these (but do not know at all whether it helps). BTW, I reported that post, and now see that that account's posts have been deleted. Thanks, mods! best, bert

My bad. Sorry.

Someone has to say it, Daryl: your husband looks very ugly compared to you. 😉 Edit: Oh! I see you've removed the pic. That renders my post defunct.

Aye, and I think you described it well already. Taking "talent" to mean "ability", in the midst of many factors, to me it seems like one of the lesser ones. I've said it before, but I got some upmarket gigs not because of my abilities but because I was deemed "available and dependable".

Indeed. I have the 10-track "J.O.N.5" edition in my collection: 😉

Number of strings, or frets for that matter, doesn't influence me. I always stink:

That's the problem with unclear language. Yes, they are in "use", but remain untouched. They're so-called "sympathetic" strings. I'm sure Wikipedia has an article about these.

... but someone still decided to Photoshop that original photo, probably trying to convince people that Jaco also has been seen playing a 4-string Fender: 😄

Very first thought: Mick Karn - Bestial Cluster

I think there's only one reasonable explanation: Bailerlove9 named the cat Curiosity, and then Curiosity killed the owner this time. (Other than that, many unreasonable explanations exist, like a busy life as you say, or the account was made for future spamming/scamming. I go with busy life.)

Neighbours' cats are called Limp and Bizkit. No resonance though, or music-related theme. 😉

Both my Ps were '50s ones, built roughly 15 years ago. I hear today's CVs might be of slightly lower quality, but I myself am not knowledgeable on the subject, and others can probably help a lot better.
