    You’ve inspired me to order this…

    Exactly what I though it was, too.

    Here’s how it was done in the 80s. Mullet? Check. Short shorts (with integral underpant lining)? Check. Risk assessment and safe system of work? Hmmm. There are some gloves though (and a pair of sandals). Interesting technique at the 8min mark…

    Fantastic bass player. Lovely, quirky fun to play stuff. And for those who want a helping hand in learning his lines, this is highly recommended: http://aidanhampson.co.uk/blur

    I’m knackered and really want to go to bed, but I just can’t drag myself away from this master class…

    Liked the fact that Duff still essentially uses the same £500 bass he grabbed off the wall in LA with his advance from Appetite for Destruction (albeit this is one of the copies that the custom shop made for him). Shame I can’t here much of it through the cr@p TV speakers!

    I was looking at the cab and thought I was seeing things and had forgotten how to count! Currently watching Skrillex, Fred Again and something or other. Strangely compelling, no idea what genre it is…even if it does look like two blokes from an IT helpdesk having some kind of fit.

    So ‘The Churnups’. Who are they, place your bets: 1. Foo Fighters 2. Blur 3. Pulp 4. Someone else
  10. JJTee
    Well someone had to start it, so I thought why not me?! Seeing as the reason why I picked up the bass in the first place - Duff McKagan - will be playing with GN’R, I will be watching at least that performance!
  11. JJTee
    I can only just about breathe and play bass at the same time!

    He does love at bit of the old Autotune that there lead singist…

    Blue Peter missed a trick by not getting John Noakes to play the w@nkaphon atop Nelson’s Column. The Uber phallic imagery would have made the National Viewers and Listeners Association apoplectic. That REALLY would have been something for the BBC archive:

    As an aside, the BBC archive is well worth subscribing to…. Some superb stuff, not least John Noakes ascending Nelson’s Column. I have to say, it does look a tad phallic they way he’s playing it. Some wag has suggested renaming it the w@nkaphon…

    There’s a 21-day right of appeal on all abatement notices. Better off pursuing that, than starting a petition I would have thought.

    I love Pick of the Pops on a Saturday afternoon. My favourite years alway seem to be between 1976 and 1983. A good selection of songs this week from 82, and nice bass playing. And this:

    Or a Goldator Sherlymod if you string it with flatwounds and wire the pick ups so they’re out of phase.

    And for those interested, this is what happened after they called it a day. Well, this looks 20 years old, so maybe they’ve reformed again!
  19. JJTee
    Not without good reason: the bloke that wrote this song for The Doolies (Michael Myers…) also wrote ‘I’m in the Mood for Dancing’ for The Nolans according to my brief research on the internet!

    Apart from around the 3 minute mark when he presumably forgets it’s the single edit they’re miming to and misses the drum fill!
  21. JJTee
    Yes. Quite a line up. Interesting to see the current Spurs manager’s former pop career. Back on topic, The Dooleys had a very catchy chorus there…
  22. JJTee
    Splendid. Some superb fonts of knowledge on here! I was admiring the sparkly jackets and trousers. Eye catching to say the least…
  23. JJTee
    Caught ToTP from 1980 (I think). Some group called The Dooleys… never heard them before, but was distracted trying to ID the bass. Never seen anything like it, but I’m sure someone will be along shortly to reveal all about the bass, the bass player, and The Dooleys!

    How does he get away with that syrup? Looks like something you’d pick up for a fiver in a fancy dress shop.
  25. JJTee
    I think this was probably on later tracks, 1978/9 onwards. Super Trouper (the chorus), Does Your Mother Know and Gimme, Gimme, Gimme spring to mind.
