Happy Jack

Those don't look like real adverts to me. If they were real, they would all demand that applicants be *** COMMITTED *** and probably that they must *** WANT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN ***.

That's why my next bass will be [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Other%20music%20related/Great%20Guitars/11379_736550003100145_1890228984563342328_n%20Jack-PCs%20conflicted%20copy%202016-03-18_zps9xxthlek.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Other%20music%20related/Great%20Guitars/11379_736550003100145_1890228984563342328_n%20Jack-PCs%20conflicted%20copy%202016-03-18_zps9xxthlek.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

One of the joys of impending retirement (well, a couple of years away) is that I will no longer need to worry about paying income tax ...

I have (plenty of) previous with that pub and I've never rated the pub, the beer, the landlady (Pretty), the locals, or what passes for a jam session there. But if the Sunday night jam from The Oak has re-located there, it [i][b]might [/b][/i]actually be worth going there again to check it out. Once, anyway ...

I'm guessing it won't take a 9v battery?

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1469957951' post='3102220'] ... you can make an electric bass out of absolutely anything. I've seen one made from a length of scrap 2x4. Actually sounded quite good. [/quote] Did he use tone scrap?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1469919644' post='3102069'] ... while watching young women wrestle in Swarfega. [/quote] The last place in Swarfega to put on women wrestling closed last year. I hear all the action has moved down the road to Babylotion.

But if the fuse blows, try wrapping some silver foil around it.

On a wild whim, I don't suppose there are any Basschatters in possession of an aluminium (or, quite possibly, aluminum) double bass?

While you're at it, get him a [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/post-25599-0-34843200-1381005057_th_zpsc004aaac.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/post-25599-0-34843200-1381005057_th_zpsc004aaac.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I believe Ringo is available ...

If you're anywhere near Doncaster, that's a steal at that price.

Can you define "small" - how many keys are you aiming for? What's your budget? If you're not looking for a Nord or something, then the Roland VR-09 is remarkably versatile, and not too heavy.

Stornoway? You're touring the Outer Hebrides? Respect!

I reckon there's space to retrofit a dimmer switch. Or two.

Stop a punter in the street, chosen at random. Tell him/her: "I fought the law ..." They will reply: "... and the law won."

But look at the switching options!

I spent ages trying to achieve sonic perfection by playing cassette tapes using just valves. Didn't work. The valves kept melting the tape before I could hear anything.

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1469529754' post='3098993'] Of that NME list, I'd say that only 'Hound Dog' could rival 'Route 66’ as a well known 'standard'. [/quote] If you don't rate 'Hey Joe' or 'I Fought The Law' as a standard, you need to get to more jams!

Phil Jones has the right idea. [URL=http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/media/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/PJWeb-PhilAirPulse.png.html][IMG]http://i1128.photobucket.com/albums/m496/h4ppyjack/Just%20Stuff/Music%20and%20Musicians/PJWeb-PhilAirPulse.png[/IMG][/URL]

Yup. Troo dat. If you ignore all those pesky blues musicians who didn't just repeat what Robert Johnson played. Oh, you meant pop music only? In that case, troo dat. If you ignore the exceptions. Like 'Move It' by The Shadows, written by Ian Samwell, of The Shadows.
