fleabag

No matter what i've tried, i've never managed to balance a P in the neck volume with a J in the bridge, even with adjustable poles I guess it depends on the pup builder

I cannot make the video appear, like others have managed ?.. so its just a link

Mitchell is about as close to a Godess as they get ( IMO ) Having had 4 of her albums for 30 years , in one format or another , Court & Spark, Hissing, Hejira, Miles Of Aisles, i thinks she's a one off, and out there. The track Rainy Night House on the live album is even better ( IMO ) than the studio track And those lyrics.. evocative and how they conjur up a story It was a rainy night We took a taxi to your mother's home She went to Florida and left you With your father's gun alone Upon her small white bed I fell into a dream You sat up all the night and watched me To see who in the world I might be [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v5Siv33hL4"][media]https://www.youtube....h?v=7v5Siv33hL4[/media][/url]

Yup, i guess that has to be a consideration. And UPS have told me here it will be here Friday. Woot Hope they sent a European one [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/21njjf4.jpg[/IMG]

I disagree . .I think he would be amongst friends here. Even those that don't get him admit he had talent far beyond most of us and that makes for fascination

That was a one off I'll soon change that

Thanks blue - sometimes publications come out the following month .... eg December issue comes out in January. Or vice versa

Nothing like another JP thread to get the playground rumble going He wasn't a god, but he was a damn good bass player. Yes sometimes he could seem to be aimlessly noodling - some folk need to get over that He doesnt float my canoe apart from the work on Hejira, which was stunning. Personal taste again, just like everything in life. The standout player of the fretless for me was Percy Jones, and he goes way back to Soft Machine And no, not everyone likes Jones either. But no need to regress and throw a rattle

Just got an email from John East - BGM is going to make a visit to John's workshop in this months issue ( or is it next month's ? ) BGM will be finding out what just what a genius and genuine good guy he is. Makes good tea & toast too Seems Shuker is going to be a feature as well [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/1zp14t1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/25zi9gi.jpg[/IMG]

I'm thinking of ordering these baddies for our wedding / church band

3 pedals, 4 sounds, for 4 different tracks. The rest of the set is straight through, and i dont mess with pedal settings. They're set and thats it. The only trimming is backing off the volume at the beginning of the track for the Env Filter as there's a smidgeon of vol boost with that

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1449318343' post='2922528'] Agree - I`ve never learned that line, but it`s what I zone into when I hear the song. Just awesome. It`s easy to knock PM as he`s a virtually a national treasure, but really, wrote all those songs, came up with all those great basslines, did all those great vocals/harmonies. Whether or not you like his stuff, think it`s only the daft that don`t understand what he`s done. [/quote] I loved the bass line so much i did learn it, but only for my own amusement. Our band only does one PM song, and its Wings BOTR. The bass line in that is pretty damn good too

I was going to say it says more about the people that bought his music, but then who am i to judge on what others like. My dad detested the ' racket ' that i listened to as young un. I dont get that sort of cr*p , but its not cr*p to those who like it, and my dad didn't get the ' racket' i liked back in the day. he still doesn't

The bass line on Paperback Writer - its a killer. Simple but oh so effective A genius

And just to say so long Scott - a sad loss of talent and a proper human being. The song that many people misunderstood ( especially guys ) , but was in fact a reaction to his girlfriend being gang raped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aDxyfH3Uqs

If i was feeling flush right now, i'd buy it. Would probably drive me round the bend, though

That reminds me....i must get my ironing done.

Good point there BRX I never thought of all these things, so i guess its making sense now. Didn't do me any good, but what the hey
