  1. JK, John Kay, Carol Kaye, K.D. Laing, and KC and the Sunshine Band want to work together. Their initial rehearsal is this coming Wednesday.
  2. [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1445081040' post='2888653'] It's just a red herring. [/quote] No, it's Red October.
  3. Wel,l that's 150,000 plus views in less than a year. Pretty appalling really that people have nothing better to do than read this carp.....
  4. The rubber strings on my HB Uke Bass seem quite low tension and it has a truss rod too. I guess if you notice the bridge starting to lift and the top bowing, it's too tight!...
  5. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1444837694' post='2886561'] Yes.... but he was flat. [/quote] He floundered until they change the Quays ....Err, who started us going along the fish puns road or do I mean Fishponds Road?
  6. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1444828537' post='2886450'] Joss Stone recorded her album The Sole Sessions with the help of James Last and two members of Black Lace, and it was a shoo-in to sell millions. [/quote] The Sole Sessions, wasn't that Fish?
  7. I don't see the point, I mean anyone can knock out Moondance......
  8. Paper Lace, The Scissor Sisters and Joss Stone are joining together to cover the Miley Cyrus song "Decisions". They have no idea or way of deciding who should take the first chorus however.
  9. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1444672694' post='2884997'] Well the MarkBass Italian vs. Indonesian test is on! If anyone has a good video camera that will do bass sounds justice it may be good to record it for Basschat posterity. [/quote] Do we spit or swallow?
  10. Frank Zippo was a jobbing San Diego based musician in the early 60's. In his autobiography years later, he conceded that changing his name was a necessity to get ahead in the industry.
  11. Don't want to derail your thread, tell you on Sunday...!
  12. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1444602071' post='2884506'] [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ampeg-BA-210-V2-Combo-and-Free-Sterling-by-Music-Man-Sub-Ray-4-Black/1DOX?utm_source=benchmark&utm_medium=email-marketing&utm_campaign=email-250915#full-des"]http://www.gear4musi...250915#full-des[/url] get that Ampeg combo with the free Sterling. Bargain! [/quote] Only a bargain if you want another Bass too!
  13. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1444597050' post='2884454'] Indeed! Is yours an Italian-made one? [/quote] Si
  14. Looking good, this is what I did with a knackered Hohner Stick Bass a few years ago. [attachment=202444:S5000495.JPG]
  15. [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1444511051' post='2883817'] weren't Trio that Breakway group that Hobnob'd with a Viscount? [/quote] Nice
  16. 70's Alternative Rockers Flo and Eddie have joined forces with 80's Soul Duo Charles and Eddie to form a new revivalist Trio.
  17. Use the same as in it? Or check with ashdown what they fitted when new? You could even phone them, they are usually very helpful.
  18. It all started for me with Colin Hodgkinson and I literally went through the Back Door at a venue in Washington where he was playing when I was 17/18. I didn't have much to say as I wasn't on BC then.... Since then have spoken to Rhino Edwards for around 30 minutes when he was with Judie Tzuke (my Mrs used to go to school with their guitar/producer Mike Paxman). Usually if its a fairly informal gig or I see a Bassist at the Bar, I'll do a quick hello/chat. Most recent would be Lee Sklaar x 2!
  19. [quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1443796596' post='2877804'] Rod Hull used to be a musician. Unfortunately he misread a vital contract, and thought he was signing to EMI. [/quote] Rod Hull's favourite song was 'Saling' and Emu was a big fan of My Chemical Romance.
  20. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1444132495' post='2880506'] But whatever Robert Plants, Roger Waters! [/quote] and Tommy Steele's
  21. I'll be bringing my MB CMD 121P (as I'll need it that evening at the same venue) and as mine is not modified, maybe we can do a comparison?
  22. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1444075075' post='2880148'] I spent a good 10 minutes wondering why the bassist was not in shot. He is making a sublime noise with his left hand. [/quote] They come over here, take our jobs and marry our women........
