  1. [sup]The Voice Judge and hair model Rita Ora has a long back history in indie pop. She was a founder member of "Orange Juice" along with Edwynn Collins and her brother Kia.[/sup]
  2. After her performance at the Brits the other night, ageing songstress "Madonna" is looking at collaborating with Northern post punkers "The Fall".
  3. It goes without saying that all of 3 chord trick wonders "Status Quo" drive Deutsche cars, BMW's or Mercedes.
  4. This: [url="http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/class-d/263402-class-d-without-output-filter.html"]http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/class-d/263402-class-d-without-output-filter.html[/url]
  5. I had the equivalent of a 102p combo, a LMIII and a Traveller 210 cab. Smallest and lightest rig that was loud enough for almost all gigs. Now run a TTE500 Head and RJ NY 15" cab cos I got GAS! . Also got a Micromark 801 for bedroom practice.....
  6. Lots of Double Bassists lie their instrument on its side when not in use: this can lead to worn edges. There is a rockabilly guy near me who I saw leaving his Bass on its side on concrete after playing at an outside gig: I had to look away!
  7. Does looking at this thread make me "Bi-Curious"?
  8. This time last year I was lucky enough to win a play of an album of my choice through a £30k Hi-Fi here: [url="http://www.audiolounge.co.uk/our-listening-room/#0"]http://www.audiolounge.co.uk/our-listening-room/#0[/url] The speakers which you can see, were made of plexi glass and weighed lots. I seem to remember they were designed internally so no 2 surfaces directly faced each other.
  9. Following their split, members of bubblegum pop band The 1910 Fruit Gum Company went on to form The Sweet.
  10. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1424691268' post='2699113'] I wasn't aware you had electricity down there, let alone the internet! [/quote] You'd be surprised, I even saw one of those "horseless carriages" the other day...it frightened the shire horses as I was ploughing the fields at the time.
  11. Thomann have a B stock Black one in for £103 at the moment...
  12. It's a new week, so there must be a new Supergroup forming, from members of Muse, The Who and The Village People. Naturally will be called Matt the Hoople
  13. The packaging weights , like the delivery times, are a work of fiction in my experience. It's the price you pay, for the price you pay!
  14. Surprised someone doesn't take it off his hands and convert it to a 5 string Bass (for those with huge hands).
  15. Ironically, one of techno slaphead Moby's favourite albums was Jim Capaldi's "Whale Meat Again"
  16. [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1424446345' post='2696414'] It has been said that hard rockers AC/DC got their name from a rating plate on an electrical appliance (sewing machine/drill/kettle?), but in fact they got the idea for the name while messing about on the river. [/quote] I can see what you're angling at.
  17. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1424343587' post='2695289'] Do Thomann still give the vouchers for reviews???, if so i have a a few reviews i can do 3 in all and if i get some money off i will no doubt go in for a deko bass. [/quote] Yes, but up to max of 50 euros credit only as I found out to my cost!
  18. Perversely, none of "Bohemian Like You" songsters the Dandy Warhols like Campbells Soup.
  19. [quote name='dieseldalziel' timestamp='1424368257' post='2695619'] Unboxing of a MM V& 5string (not me or mine ..yet) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGB2J0elFMg"]https://www.youtube....h?v=PGB2J0elFMg[/url] & a v7 4string Natural Ash (still not mine..) [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azV2DYirupw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=azV2DYirupw[/url] [/quote] On the 5 string unboxing, he really needs to get that leak sorted....
  20. I like the subliminal message in the excess string coils....
  21. Bluesy Rockers "Nine Below Zero" were named after the Elvis Costello song and all subscribe to wearing Damart Thermals.
  22. [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1424289876' post='2694864'] You think so do you? Funnily enough, this lot, despite being very good musicians never got as much function work as they'd expected. [/quote] Yes, but a mini tractor with a snowblower attachment driven by a girl with bouffant
  23. [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1424287258' post='2694821'] All girl pop trio "The butt monkeys" Do actually run a secondhand farming equipment sales business. [/quote] Possibly the most bizarre album title/photo ever commented upon here. Mind I like a blob of Chutney on my Cheese.
  24. As it's half term I voted no to save you from hordes of wannbe guitarists. However it seems the visit passed without incident and Bass. On that subject and re your gas, have you visited the Marcus Miller/Sire Bass thread? Very affordable...
