  1. CMD 102p combo here. Very loud and punchy, lightweight, easy to dial on. I keep thinking I should get an extension cab, so that I look and feel more manly, but this thing does everything I need.
  2. Wow! I don’t normally like Alembic style basses, but that is bonny!
  3. Dave just sent me some Ray parts, free in return for a donation to my favourite charity. Incredibly generous, and posted in military spec packaging! Dave is a true gent! Thanks bro!
  4. I had a Sessionette guitar amp. It was a sturdy wee brute, and sounded good. It was a bit beamy, due to the small cabinet.
  5. Yep, I bet it will sound great, but too expensive for me, but I’m cheap, as you know.
  6. Try reading Elegant Hipsters, Fagen’s autobiography. He is painfully honest about his character and his world view, and his defence, which was to adopt a cynical and ironic distancing style. I feel the songs capture and express this very well. To my mind, he found a match in Walter Becker, and between them they confected the Dan sound from their deep affection for American music, which arises from colossally dysfunctional American culture. For me there is a very powerful effect created by this queasy juxtaposition of The Great American Songbook and existential dread. He articulates all of this better than I can in his book, which is well worth a read.
  7. Sounds good to me! Headstock shapes should be altered by tinkerers so your good name will not be soiled. any idea how much you would want for them?
  8. Oh dear. I do love SD very much. In fact my love of SD was the subject of the best man’s speech at our wedding do. In a Malaysian restaurant in Crouch End. I will not hear a word against them. This thread does not exist.
  9. Very handsome bass! And has the correct number of strings for a Jazz type!
  10. Very sad news. Fantastic musician. RIP Lyle.
  11. I will hae a’ they bits, thank you very much. PM’ED. But I do think you should accept some payment.
