  1. I've had a slightly jaundiced view of the 80's, probably seen through the lens of a marriage which went pear shaped...But anyway: Closer - Joy Division The Crossing - Big Country Lexicon of Love - ABC Hatful of Hollow - Smiths
  2. Heard on Radio 6 on the way into work. I don't think I've ever been so stunned by the death of someone outside family and friends. I didn't necessarily love all his creative output all the time, but he has been a presence throughout my adolescent and adult life. RIP
  3. That's very nice Paul - a good score!
  4. Just bought a hipshot from Paul who is great guy to deal with. Good comms, item well packed and as described. Great stuff, thanks!
  5. Stunning bass - the parchment really brings out the red finish (I could say it makes it "pop", but I'd have to shoot myself). Nice one!
  6. Gear4music are doing the Yamaha Bb425 in black for £249 in their sale. Quite tempted myself...
  7. Nice one! Is that a Gibson SG neck pickup?
  8. Paul Gray from Eddie and the Hot Rods (and others later) had good lines and energy. EHR were arguably more pub rock, but they crossed over well. Punk rock a reaction against Queen and ELO? Too right...Bohemian Bloody Rapsody needed a reaction!
  9. A band of two halves - they needed that creative tension to make their best stuff. IMHO of course.
  10. Lovely looking bass! I admire the creative vision and the execution to match - good job!
  11. Been admiring your 'burst for a while and the white is also fab. I think I need a P/J in my life...that price is very nice too!
  12. Bump for further clarification on price. In Black Friday Retail-land, the best price new I can see is £846 here [url="http://www.projectmusic.net/fender-road-worn-60s-strat-olympic-white-4547-p.asp"]http://www.projectmusic.net/fender-road-worn-60s-strat-olympic-white-4547-p.asp[/url]. Alternatively, used on ebay there's a slightly modded one at £719 plus £40 postage [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Road-Worn-60s-Stratocaster-Olympic-White-2-Mods-No-case-/111836580945?hash=item1a09facc51:g:wFgAAOSwFGNWTes2"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Road-Worn-60s-Stratocaster-Olympic-White-2-Mods-No-case-/111836580945?hash=item1a09facc51:g:wFgAAOSwFGNWTes2[/url] or a sunburst at £599 plus £25 postage [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-ROADWORN-STRATOCASTER-ROAD-WORN-STRAT-/201471189467?hash=item2ee89e61db:g:KGwAAOSwEgVWRQwj"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-ROADWORN-STRATOCASTER-ROAD-WORN-STRAT-/201471189467?hash=item2ee89e61db:g:KGwAAOSwEgVWRQwj[/url] So...roll up folks!
  13. [quote name='No lust in Jazz' timestamp='1448370003' post='2914784'] Captain Beefheart Hendrix [/quote] Both of these chaps. Plus Little Feat with Lowell George up front Thin Lizzy - they played Cardiff Capitol just before it closed. Still don't know how I missed that one.
  14. John Porter played on For Your Pleasure and (I think) Stranded. I remember them getting through a few bass players.
  15. That's a lovely grain on the SG.
  16. Just taken delivery of a Korg Pitchblack which appears to be dead on arrival so will need to go back for a swap. Been using a Tanglewood clip on hittherto.
  17. We'll be strutting our stuff at the Black Horse... Monkgate is just outside the city walls at Monk Bar.
  18. I think the new one looks like a "tribute" to the Ltd Phoenix 204/1004...if you look at the cutaway and reverse headstock. Coincidence I'm sure, but the Phoenix is out of production I think
  19. Missing - Everything but the girl We're doing this currently. Good tune.
