Fleetwood Mac (with Neil Finn)...
SpondonBassed replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
One and a half times what Talking Heads are doing with their two bassists on that Talking Heads topic obviously. -
I have amended your quote with what I assume was meant. While the the Captains of the British Retail Industry are busy crying about Brexit have they actually taken the time to look at that as an opportunity? It doesn't look much like they have. I'm sure there are exceptions that do not get favourable coverage simply because it isn't click-baity enough.

@mybassand @BreadBin Thanks for that. Seeing the resin being poured in has such a soothing effect. I love looking at those driftwood composite bodies in still photos already but the process is mesmerising by itself. I used a resin kit in my youth. It was sold by hobby shops as a means of making decorative objects such as those paperweights that have the components of a watch embedded or an interesting insect. The hardener is nasty stuff. I only played with that for a while as the fumes and the loss of chemically hardened skin from my unprotected fingers put me off. I was only twelve and H&S was not really a thing those days. The clip mentions Ecopoxy resin. I could thank you for that alone. Have we any owners reading who could comment on the durability of this sort of composite body over long periods of time? It's one thing to fill voids in a burl top but one of those driftwood bodies looked like it relied heavily on the resin as a structural component.

Many thanks. That was useful.

It won't work with script filters. Three quarters of the page you linked out to is third party stuff. I don't bother with sites who can't give you a page without you accept scripts from "associates". I trust the content was interesting however.

It's not being told that there will be significant additional charges until you've more or less committed to the purchase that has put my housemate off purchasing anything from the 'states. The sanctions have nothing to do with it. It's nothing to do with the American suppliers in fact, it's our lot who tell you about the charges later! He's not bothered who's loading the price, he just filters out all US sellers in his search results. Gee.

I'm thinking it might be a union thing for the TV station. Even their syndicates are syndicated.

I wondered about that too and then stopped caring because 77 had slipped, as if by itself, into the four track and mysteriously started playing loudly.

“the place bass players’ dreams come to die.”

That also looks like a great way of concealing your flatulence from the rest of the passengers on the Coach Trip -
Nor did I. I'm going to have to stop thinking of him as Mark Commode from now on though. That's a reflection of my distaste for critics generally but not for MK personally by the way.

Great clips, ta. As a young man, my recurring nightmare was similar but in mine I was always stark naked. My orchestras were showing and I had a tiny mouth organ in my hands.

“the place bass players’ dreams come to die.”
SpondonBassed replied to gjones's topic in General Discussion
To be honest, I would have one but for the fact that he mentioned "honky tonk for chicken sh!t bingo". I didn't read any more paragraphs. I'd had all the laughs I was going to get right there. He seemed to be stating the bl33ding obvious but his attitude was of an elder man trying to oil up his next teen conquest. Dead creepy. TLDR. -
Don't worry OP. I wont bring any naked flames into the room to add injury to the insult. Heeheehee. I don't get jazz either. You might have gathered. I have enjoyed a couple of jazzy meals where I was captive in the audience on the Sunday Lunch circuit but that is almost certainly a diluted presentation of popular standards. Beyond that, it goes right over my head. I have downloaded the Mingus clip for my personal education and I will watch it later. Thanks.

I'd like to point out that, to the best of my knowledge, it was not the lord who dropped the atom bomb.

That's a statement that definitely benefits from the spell check.

"a Texas honky tonk for Chicken-stinky poo Bingo," PS; Hahahahaha! That's a score for the profanity filter. -

I'm guessing that there isn't much TAB in it. (Runs away from the smoking blue touchpaper) -
That explains his Teddy Boy dress tendencies then. I only see him as a Film critic on early morning BBC News at the weekends but I will see him differently from now on. Cheers!

I can say with a fair degree of certainty that it isn't. If it had been made for me it would have a proper, old-fashioned kill switch and not just a pathetic standby button. It galls me that with modern kit, I have to wait for a bootup cycle AND I have to wait for the shutdown to be certain that some new fangled bit of tat has actually responded to the soft switch. With lots of these processor dependant devices it seems to be that the one time you think "oh it'll be off in a moment I'll leave it to shut down", you come back much later to find that the darned thing is hung in some sort of digital sulk and is heating up an empty room because it is in loopy land. With valve tech, you only had to wait for the warm up. You could walk away immediately upon switching the set off. Confounded flummery! What a bunch of technophobes we are all becoming, eh? Sod it. I am happy to retire to my bath chair and shout at squirrels whilst waving a stick vaguely in their direction.

I quite often do that even when I intend to watch one the day of broadcast. I take my time to get some tea and finish off whatever chores remain from the evening meal. Often it happens that I build in a ten minute lag that lets me leapfrog all of the commercials and finish watching at the start time for the next hour. The hard disk equipped decoder is a marvellous bit of kit.

It does. If they all went out and got bladdered instead they'd be commercial proof for the rest of the week on account of being skint now that Wonga has gone.

Quite but I am far too refined in my upbringing to mention it on a family friendly forum. Heeheehee - not -

It's nice to know the pros do this as well. That's going to be a beaut!
