I bought the little Vox AC for practicing, as per my avatar. Works well enough with phones, but through it's tiny speaker is pretty dire. Battery or with 9V adaptor, line in for CD or Mp3. Works for me.

Thanks for that. I'll check it out next time I'm over that way.

Thanks chaps. Sorry if I sound guilty. I just needed to "come out" and admit to preferring fretless. Of course, 60 years ago the boot would have been on the other foot, with electric bass players feeling guilty about their Precisions.

I love playing fretless. Whilst I'm sure my intonation isn't spot on for the most part, my band mates say they can't hear any difference between me playing with or without frets (just as bad both ways I suspect). Are there any BC members who only play fretless through choice? (Obviously DB players need not apply). ie, is there any reason I can't live out the rest of my days playing fretless, or will the fret police be waiting to ambush me? Apart from slap and pop styles which I don't subscribe to anyway, is there any other situation where I'm gonna regret not having frets? Thanks in advance.

A real beaut. Enjoy.

Ann Murray made a mint from her song SnowBird. (Sorry, scraping barrel)

Always loved the title track Goucho. All the albums are superb in different ways. If I had to choose one, well, I couldn't decide between Pretzel Logic and Katy Lied. Took me a long time to get used to the smoother way the band was heading.

Loved them at the time, bought the first two CDs but haven't listened to them since they murdered Harvest for the World.

Captain Beefheart and Meatloaf once joined forces and recorded the album "Meaty, Beaty, Big & Bouncy"

Ive never used them, but having seen nothing but praise on this forum until today I wouldn't have hesitated. Shame if they get let down by their couriers. Not a lot you can do.

+1 for the Waitresses/

Well this thread certainly is cr@p. You wouldn't catch me reading it, let alone posting on it.

As Queen Victoria stated: We are not a Muse.

That's a bit of a surprise, and a real shame.

House bands cater for all tastes and levels, they have to. Go for it, have fun, learn something, and pat yourself on the back.

So was it Little Feat Feat Feat???

Elton John always denies that his hair is dyed, and claims it was that colour when he bought it.

Slayer were originally got together to be The Leo Sayer Band. Unfortunately for Leo, the members were all thrash metal fans and soon tired of playing mindless drivel pop songs and met with their management to discuss breaking away. Small print in their contracts prevented them from any proper, self respecting metal band name, so they stuck with Sayer, only adding the "L" when their garden leave period expired.

After suffering a broken nose while in the ring, former heavyweight all in wrestler, Jimmy Somerville threw in the towel and tried his hand, and lungs, at singing.

Despite giving up the Womble suit some years ago, Mike Batt still lives in a cave on Wimbledon Common and can be seen daily collecting discarded litter. He has developed a lucrative recycling business and it's reckoned that his earning from bottles and tins outstrip his earnings from record sales by some 30.000 to 1.

Ironically, Alvin Stardust was knocked down whilst attempting to cross the road.

Witchita Lineman singing star, Glen Campbell was named thus after his mum conceived during a holiday to the Scottish Highlands.

Talking of shouty pop queens, Whitney Houston never used a microphone when in concert, and her rendition of "I will always love you" would often see members of the audience in the first 50 rows rushing for the exits with blood streaming from their ears. Pete Townshend always tried to be "Louder than Whitney" but the Hi-Watt stacks were never quite up to it.
