  1. [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1483366711' post='3206527'] I've never heard a tom tit called a five minute slot in the lavatory either..... [/quote] Does a lavatory setting give a new meaning to a 'tongue in cheek' comment...?
  2. What about some chambers and then a thicker veneer over the top? If the bass is that heavy surely losing a couple of pounds would not affect the sustain anyway (and the Bass owes you precious little too).
  3. Seem to remember doing a few CH covers in the 90's and seeing them in Bradford too. Very tasteful and melodic player.
  4. Playing a Warwick and using a music stand rules out a stray Basschatter approaching too...
  5. Occasionally a punter in the audience will come up to me at the end of a gig and shake my hand saying 'Well done on the Bass'. Following Robbie William's lead last night, does anyone have a recommendation for a hand sanitiser that does not dry out the skin?
  6. [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1483125623' post='3204930'] It's a little known fact that Boris Johnson is the brother of not two, but three well known slappers. Louis, George and Ulrika. [/quote] Fixed.
  7. Where are all the cheap Basses on AE? I had a quick look and they were up in the £300 plus mark.
  8. [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1483106269' post='3204771'] Let me guess.... BoJo plays spoons? [/quote] Possibly, on 'Backstabbers'
  9. Rumours abound that Tony Blair and Boris Johnson will shortly share a platform as 'Anthony and the Johnsons'
  10. They do a 5 String 'Telebass' which is not available from Fender/Squier...
  11. How about a generic black knob and white pen on the dot?
  12. Worked for me, wholesale change and eventually went over to all 5's.
  13. [size=3][color=#000000]Paradoxically, The Remoaners track most played in the last 6 months in the UK is ‘Hey Ho, Let’s Go’. [/color][/size]
  14. Are you saying it is not recorded live? Next you'll be saying there is no Father Christmas...
  15. Squier Jaguar Bass 32" scale £250 S/H combo up to £250
  16. Breaking news from the ‘Second-best Guitarist in the World’. Jeff Beck is re-recording one of his early albums from the time when he worked part time on the Royal Mail. Called ‘Post Truth’ the album will feature a 25 minute version of ‘Hi-Ho Silver Lining’ and an instrumental rendition of ‘Lyin’Eyes’
  17. Microcube at 5 watts not much more useful than for solo work, add anything more than acoustic guitar( like drums) and you wont be heard. The Yamaha THR10 is a bit more powerful 10 watts and still has a battery option.
  18. Have you stood down where the audience are when the problems occur? It may be the weakness you perceive is not an issue down below and back from your amp in the audience. Long lead or wireless could help....
  19. Just noticed Andertons are doing the 802 for £502 in their Sale. That's a great price, I paid considerably more just a few weeks ago and that was the best price in the EU then...
  20. [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1482403973' post='3200203'] After quitting Slade, gravel tonsilled front man Noddy Holder struggled for money so he turned his hand to inventing. His first effort was the Noddy Cup Holder which was a merchandising disaster and led to several Court cases where purchasers had been scolded with hot beverages. [/quote] [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1482406894' post='3200234'] Slade's guitarist was more successful however with the Dave Hill Holder which is now fitted to most new cars. [/quote] Many overlook that the Band 'Slade' was actually a hotbed of invention. Prior to their musical careers, both Guitarist Dave Hill and Bassist Jim Lea developed a revolutionary climbing wall that not only expedited vertical ascents and descents but also horizontal moves too. However the 'Dave Lea Traverse' was abandoned due to copyright issues.
  21. Photo would help, there are loads of generic fender type knobs about on eBay....
  22. Speaking of Steve Swallow, have had some fun at a local jam with Chicken Dog: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RjAPKk2jTA"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RjAPKk2jTA[/url]
  23. [quote name='obi 2 kenobi' timestamp='1482491642' post='3200981'] am I in an elevator ? [/quote] Wasn't that Aerosmith?
  24. Heavily play-listed Radio 2 favourite Rag-n–Bone Man has revealed the formative Tracks of his Years. Favourites include ‘Brass in Pocket’, ‘Gold’, ‘Horse with no Name’, any heavy metal and 2 from Steely Dan: ‘Boston Rag’ and ‘Pegs’.
