When Alicia came on that was wonderful to a) hear her emotional story but also b) hear the reaction of the musicians. Rob Trujillo came on later, which surprised me, but I had to leave before he had a chance to say anything.

Not a bad group of musicians paying tribute to Rocco:

Just look on the Dingwall website. It has plans of the various controls and what they do.

Here I go again - Whitesnake

I know some people but Michael Cera, Norman Reedus, Ronn Moss? Never heard of them.

I did feel very ignorant when I watched this as I knew very few of the "celebs" too.

I must confess I had not heard of him until a couple of years ago when I came across this on YT. Love this cover:

Perhaps not your genre but this is another example of just how good she is:

That is not a pedalboard, it is Anderton’s pedal stock. 😀

I grew up with a semi pro musician for a father, not only was he the drummer in several bands but, for reasons unknown, he became well connected in the music world (Mitch Michell, Jake Hannah, Joe Morello etc). Accordingly there were bands rehearsing in the house pretty constantly but I also got to go to many concerts and music parties with my father. Even if there was no live music at home there was always a record playing. I was encouraged to play an instrument, starting with violin and trumpet at school and drums at home (a slight digression but my first drum kit was a present from Joe Morello to my father at a concert - Joe’s stage had some mini kits on and at the end of the concert Joe gave one to my father for me!). I have therefore always loved music from home, albeit mainly blues and jazz This led onto me teaching myself classical music via Classic FM when it first launched and the associated magazine that they published. This then was converted to Opera as a great love. I was never any good as a player (always playing the notes and not the song) so never tried to get in into a band (other than some school concerts). I gave up playing in my early twenties and became a lover of listening to live music wherever I could get it and of pretty much any genre. Taking up bass eightish years ago was as a result of the love of music my parents gave me (my mother was involved in musical theatre and also had an involvement in a record store). I am still a crap player (due the same lack of talent but now also arthritis in my fingers) but keep plugging away thanks to the inbred love of music. My parents both died before my first gig on bass.

Charles Mingus at Carnegie Hall album: only two tracks including 24 minutes of a pretty much improvised C Jam Blues. Perdido to follow. Thanks to Harry Bosch playing it in a book I am reading.

Bob Marley, Legend. Just right for the evening.

I never had a picture, it was only 5 lines of text plus a link to my feedback thread.

To be fair, text is not usually the problem. It is the stupidly large photos or videos some deem fit to include in their signatures.

I have the H4n Pro which works a charm and sound quality is very good.

I made the mistake of editing my signature and have been hit by the new rules! Dam you @Ped and your good ideas! 🤣

I would say no more than four lines of standard font plus one headline size font max.. No idea as to what that is in image size,

My Glockenklang Blue Rock (1000w) stayed true all the way up. My Bergantino Forte HP (1300w) has not been tested yet but at ear testing levels in my study suggest it should also be okay. 😀 Both via a BF Big Twin II.

I have always struggled to sell stuff as an apparent hoarder and now have a heap of pedals and (not) crap to get rid of. Lockdown has curiously changed my attitude to pointless hoarding and am just arguing with myself to get on and clear the decks (and garages, cupboards, floors etc etc). For no reason other than I no longer want stuff around me. This will likely include things such as my Harley and other reasonably valued assets

How about they look awful?

Late 60s to early 70s did violin and trumpet at school. Plenty of hands on experience and playing in a band / concerts. All classical until one concert I was "allowed" to jazz up Summertime, it was just a bit of growl rather than anything clever. I remember my father beaming at me from the audience as I went feral! All was done using 'script - no tab (did it exist then?). I do not recall learning any music theory other than note length, however. Perhaps there was some but I have forgotten in all. I taught myself jazz songs on the trumpet but never learnt the relationships between notes and could only learn songs I knew the tune to. Did it help me later on? No, but my father was a semi pro drummer with some well known musicians as friends and I grew up with either records or live bands playing at home. That was possibly my inspiration to learn an instrument in my later years. Having said that, the arthritis in both hands means I will never be more than a just about average bass player, irrespective of whatever I may have learnt back then or indeed am learning now.

Weirdo!

Having recently been looking at basses in the last few weeks, I will now add PJ style basses to my what puts me off list. To me, and I have never played one, they are neither P or J and are therefore wrong. If someone gave me a singlecut PJ with wooden knobs it would only be used once on 5th November.
