Nothing less than the disrespecting w@nkers deserve. Nice work mr Moore.

There are levels of genius IMO , Zappa , McCartney, Bowie, etc but i personally consider Sting to be a variation of genius. F'rinstace, picking on just one track - Shape Of My heart - music co-written with Argentinian maestro Dom, lyrics by Sting. It's a masterpiece. Other parts of his life might be contentious, but what the hey, he's not a murderer or bank robber, so who cares.

Catch 23 - the gig could get messy and they blame Pete. Well the guitarist and drummers wife might blame Pete. So could end up with the same result. Pete - give it up. Fack 'em.

Remo Ambassadors are cheaper than the top range stuff like Remo Emperor X, Aquarian, Evans ( owned by D'addario )

DR Sunbeams , AKAIK, are Nickel over round core. Damn fine strings too

Pete is a laid back individual and quite even tempered, ( being an ex copper ) , so i could see this going either way. But for me, i'm too long in the gnashers to be putting up with what looks likes like a petulant child covering up for his own inadequacies. If he wants to pizz around changing bar lengths on the fly and whatnot, he needs to be in a different band

I'm polishing my size 10 lace up Lumberjack boots as we speak. These bad boys will turn you inside out. Bend over and brace yerself

@GreeneKing Pete, you like sex and travel, doncha ? You know the answer. Life's too short

Ha, you deleted it.

We heard you the first time

There was a time when it was mentioned somewhere , here or on ze web, that a certain make of cable had jack plugs that were slightly over-size, and when inserting in the jack socket, actually widened it, so future cables of other brands ended up being a baggy fit and causing connection problems Possibly Planet Waves or Whirlwind, but i'm totally guessing, as i cannot remember their name

Agreed. I've been in such a band in the past. Sadly, just the one band. Maybe it was easier because it was a 3 piece. Anyways, we rehearsed once a week without fail ( emergancies accepted ) and were gigging , from scratch , including me and my pal finding the 3rd musician, in 3 months flat

Perhaps the c/ is for ' custom ' and tells YT that very thing. I'd be guessing though Silv

Dos ?

Ah, no good for me. I want twin humbuckers with a 15 tog rating

I think that ad is brilliant. It's non vague, to the point. I like a tight ship , too. It's the way to get things done, even in a pub band

Avoid solos all costs. They're as cheesy as a block of cheese in a block of cheese championships

I wouldn't bother with a wrap. I'd go for hydro dipping and then get the thing lacquered

My entire bass rig is up for sale if any mediocre bassists are in the market for some mediocre bass gear not being played by a mediocre bass muppet

I'm a bit partial to Herbie Flowers, and apart from the famous Lou Reed ' Walk on the Wild Side ' Flowers has been on a gazillion other tracks including Bowie of course. Just a few appearences of Flowers on Bowie tracks include Rebel Rebel, Man Who Sold The World, Diamond Dogs etc. His track record is awesome https://www.allmusic.com/artist/herbie-flowers-mn0000677415/credits?1636809404356 And then there's GA Dorsey. Brilliant of course.

Haven't seen any slowdown meself, and i've been on and off site all day

It works, cos there's no massive YT vid. Here to help

Just post as links instead.

Between Gong and the Ozrics was the fab Steve Hillage , with equally fabulous Mike Howlett on bass.

And not forgetting the brilliant Brandi
