  1. Marshall Allan 100 years old, and still leading The Sun Ra Arkestra.
  2. Seeing Herbie at the Bass Bash was a life experience. Equal parts of genius and bafflement 😆 We witnessed something special that day. People are wrong when they say you shouldn't meet your heroes.
  3. Warm pad fade 💕
  4. Paddy Power are offering 5/1 on Oasis splitting up before the first gig:
  5. Try it, let's see if they stand up in court 😜
  6. Seems legit...
  7. The wealth will trickle down?
  8. Because it sets a precedent and business model the rest of the industry will follow?
  9. I bought an Ibanez UB804 last week, so I'm out. I regret nothing! 😆
  10. I'm not sure it is. According to the Bank of England inflation calculator £1.50 in 1971 is only £18.37 today.
  11. My Ibanez UB804
  12. My Ibanez UB804 😁
  13. ... it's not a waltz?
  14. You should be able if the musicians were any good and used the time signatures. So 6/8 would have a 1-2 feel with accents on beats 1 and 4; 12/8 would have a 1-2-3-4 feel with accents on beats 1-4-7-10; 4/4 would maintain the standard 4 beat emphasis.
  15. It's only the brothers who are being talked about. No-one seems to care about the rest of the band.
  16. As someone new to EUB (4 days in 😆) who would like to try arco, this thread is making me very sad... 😉
  17. I'm enjoying playing it, so that alone justifies buying it 😆 I'm trying a lighter touch with my picking hand, but I know bass guitar technique is not the way to go. Also I need to work on left hand muting. As an aside, given the price point, being Ibanez I would have assumed they were made in Japan, but they are made in Indonesia.
  18. Off the top of my head, all I can suggest is Aretha, and Natural Woman.
  19. Careful! Read the small print on products claiming to be sugar free "excessive consumption may result in laxative effects" 😬
  20. Not sure if this counts but I've just got an EUB which I'll be using in one of my bands. I've never had one before, or played one in anger. It's a different technique and I can already see there is a lot of practice I need to do.
