Maybe because he was investigated by the FBI for 10 years and there was never any evidence of sexual assault?

We can study the works of lauded philosophers, regardless of pederasty. The BBC can celebrate playright Joe Orton, even while showing films mentioning his visits to Morocco to have sex with young boys. Is there an artistic hypocrisy?

A issue raised but not considered in this article, is how an allegation - regardless of truth - is enough to destroy a career.

Gnumph! 😜

Allegedly the first million dollar video and features a cameo from the original artist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-GxYzbI4lg&app=desktop

Only 49 😮

IIRC there was a television show called Glee, from which the characters released various cover versions which were swiftly followed into the hit parade by the originals.

I currently have a guitar (not a bass) at the menders to have the neck reshaped. Am I still in 😕

Yup and all blueprints have been destroyed! 😂

A long overdue thread update. I've decided I can't live without LEDs, but in keeping with the style, am thinking of a kind of gas-light hue. From Jon: Body is spayed up in basecoat, fitting it at present (evening entertainment in front of the telly) neck laminated, carbon etc sorted, ready for board.

Peavey Vypyr VIP 3. Guitar and bass modelling combo. The power sponge brings it down to 1w so great for home practice. But it's also loud enough to gig guitar and bass, which is what I have done.

Pics or it never happened! 😀

Well despite opinions to the contrary, it is loud enough to gig with. My main bass rig died tonight (not sure if it's the head or cab, but that's tomorrow's problem) so after a mad dash home during the interval, I was forced to use it. The volume and power sponge were maxed, and I squeezed more volume out of it by turning down the compressor sensitivity but boosting the level. End result, the punters didn't notice, and the bassist & other band types in the crowd said it sounded fine.

Wonder if the Matthew Trippe saga will be mentioned, after been strangely absent from the book?

Thought we were playing 9 to 11, so a 2 set gig was planned. When we got there we found out we were expected to play to 12. So most of the second set became the third set, and an impromptu new second set was played. No-one spotted the joins. So all good. The landlord was wondering around pished most of the evening, at one point making his way on stage and playing the drums during a break.

In the past Wunjo have ordered an amp in for me - with no obligation to buy - and they always price match. I did buy it - it was a combo - and they arranged a courier to get it home for me. Tends to be where I spend my money for my bass playing needs.

Wunjo Bass in Denmark Street 😁

I have the Kindle app on my phone. There are several viewing options, no probs reading in sunlight

Getting a bigger phone meant I could get rid of my Kindle and MP3 player. Love eBooks

Having basses with a ramp helps. But I use 3 fingers to pluck, so it's possible to rest each finger now and then if necessary.

Oasis?
