[quote name='Oil price' timestamp='1460106402' post='3022566'] [/quote] I've got one of the Trax guitars which sounds great. I haven't heard the basses, but there's a demo here at 1:43. The guy is playing over the neck though, so I'm not sure how much difference that is making to the sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeZVOsdqReM&nohtml5=False

even if he doesn't get paid?

Tigertailz used a similar design. IIRC they were Royals?

How's about a Snapdragon folding bass?

No refreshments for any of the bands, not even a complimentary drink. Obviously no pay or expenses because its a competition, but the £7 door fee goes somewhere, even though other regions do not charge.

My insurance is free with the MU.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1458926506' post='3012203'] But the actual performance was by Justin Hayward, who was hardly a stranger to the charts. [/quote] Neither are Jagger and Bowie strangers to the hit parade, but by the criteria of this thread as it was the only hit from 'Bowie & Jagger' this qualifies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G4jnaznUoQ

[quote name='darkandrew' timestamp='1458834552' post='3011376'] Are Soft Cell dodgy [/quote] Any band with a song called 'Sex dwarf' is dodgy!

I'm very much into my old school metal, but 'Soft Cell' did one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

Custom Shuker. I designed it and it's couture, for my body size, arm length and how I position my arm when I play.

Well to the chagrin of the detractors, I used my f[color=#333333]ully CE marked and EN certified, £2.19 earplugs at rehearsal yesterday (metal band, 2 gtr, drums, vox, bass).

Absolutely, but assuming something does not work because it is inexpensive is erroneous.
