  1. Welcome to the Light … I recommend any Motown and 80’s/90s rock and pop .. Del amitri, Duran Duran, tears for fears, Elvis Costello, AC/DC
  2. Not true - you get three months with eBay, six with PayPal I’ve had PayPal cover it where eBay did not. ebay - worth calling them first before you contact seller to ask what you should do and get them to add notes about your call so next agent you talk to know you’re doing it their approved way and have sought advice
  3. Yes, and I used to read it too
  4. Besides doesn’t Robert Trujillo own it ?
  5. No - your understanding of “check” is correct (but “check” can also mean hold/stop/wait as in chess; “check mate”) English is very confusing - I’m IELTS grade 9 and I’m certain it’s the most ambiguous, contextual language I’ve ever seen - I pity learners of it edit - I spoke to a Ukrainian refugee lady last week at an open mic night. She was very apologetic about her command of English but she could use definite and indefinite article and numerous tenses, from speaking a native language with no usage of the first two. She didn’t believe how advanced she actually was. I’ve seen native English speakers who can muster less. @ymdtzxstop knocking yourself down for lack of fluency, you’re doing just fine
  6. Partner totally doesn’t get it. It’s “pi55ing around with guitars” (I know, totally insulted, liked I’d be seen dead with a 6 stringed toy version of a bass) but major moment of my life was playing live for first time and watching the glasses behind the bar rattle as I sound-checked and playing along with a guitarist to a song that had people up and dancing, and thinking “I’m making that happen” “would you do it again?” She asked .. “in a New York minute” I replied
  7. Good wipe over with dettol spray worked my old jap jazz reeked of cigarettes
  8. I’m sure it’s amazing but I only really use amp sims and a bit of compression so this would be totally overkill for me
  9. I didn’t play - I’d never been to that one before and was hoping to meet up with the regular host who’d given me some homework when I saw him at another OM In Loughborough (George) perhaps I’ll be house band next time as I did tell last night’s host (Mitch, OM near coalvile) that usually I’m acceptably good at winging things in general so probably bass too Only about 25 people there
  10. Just two basses one vintage stingray clone one 3Tsb precision no weedy toy basses with extra strings
  11. One very boring acoustic guitarist with a wealth of sexist and self-aggrandising banter …. But followed by surprises … a very Downs guy who did a really good Mozart piece on violin a ukrainian refugee who did her own very lovely song in Ukrainian and also a song in English talked to one of the organisers who noted my bass and said “bass players are rare round here, sought-after”. Smart guy … for a guitarist anyway 😛 I didn’t play as it wasn’t a jam night and the guy I expected to see from another OM wasn’t there. Boring guy from para 1 came over to push his way in and talk basses whilst I talking to the nice Ukrainian lady and her husband.
  12. You’re there, dude. Book that ticket right now
  13. Fixed and I’m actually a cryptographics programmer
  14. Will you please stop taunting me with these photos of nude components and naked parts? There’s only so much I can take ! I haven’t bought a bass in 12 years 😭 #sobbingintomyhorlicks
  15. Screen wipe please
  16. Colour me interested
  17. Wasn’t ray charles blues?
  18. No we arent because no one has ever heard of your Newcastle 😛
  19. I’m not sure there’s actually a definitive generally accepted taste paradigm for the sausage roll
  20. Why would anyone bother ? Pastry has animal fat in, pork by definition has animal fat in. It’s like making a suspension bridge out of cheese because at least you’re not using that evil metal stuff
  21. @Bluewinein the 1800s the good people of Hartlepool lynched a monkey in the belief that it was a French sailor we were at war with the French at that point in time they were unaware that generally speaking monkeys don’t operate sailing boats, monkeys are not by definition French, French people do not generally have physical monkey characteristics and that monkeys don’t generally declare war on humans
  22. @Bluewineis of the American persuasion and so may not yet fully understand the joys of ground-up cheap belly pork in puff pastry served in a paper bag
