Comment notifications on this thread are my favourite thing.

Haterz gonna hate, but Manilow has some seriously good material. You do not achieve that level of success without hitting the right spot.

You are not wrong.

I was just thinking that I might have time to start messing with this. Then I realised that I left my spokeshaves at work and that is now locked. Ho hum.

7th generation super displacement drivers with their hyper efficiency etc etc etc. There is no substitute for surface area shifting air.

One of the interesting things about dealing with people who are experienced players but not theory friendly is that they actually do know a lot but do not know the correct labels.

Just imagine!!!!

Nope, that was not me

I sold Jon-Inge an NS5 EUB. The courier was ...................ummm.............. less than great (to the tune of £850ish and really delayed transit) but Jon-Inge was the very epitome of patience and good vibes. The situation was way beyond our control but he was gracious to a fault and what could have been really tricky was just smooth and pleasant. I noticed that he bought that Parker Fly 5 string and I am grateful to him for that as well because that bass was looking at me in a "come and get me" way.

I have been through VERY many basses but I have to admit that I am struggling to remember this one. I went to Norwich in 1984 so that they could refuse me a place at the University and I am 99% certain that I have never taken my family there. I am all for accepting praise wherever and however, but I am not convinced this was me. I could well be wrong though

I have 2 x 5 string 33" and use Newtone strings which make me happy.

Mutter mutter drummer lag mutter might make him play in time mutter mutter mutter

This is hardcore! I salute you.

I have been subjected to some nasty compression by engineers who do not know what they are doing. Thus, I hate compressors. I love the TC Spectracomp so much that I have one patched in in my residency gig and leave permanently on. I have another on my FX board. I kind of feel guilty about getting that consistency using tech and not through technique.

That was very cool indeed. I shall buy the track and use it as the background for a contemplative video using words for a hymn that is sung on it. I am not sure if my Church is ready for it, but we shall find out.

Intense!

I am feeling the love coming at me

Nooooo!!!! I fancied one of those as well.

I have always fancied one of those.

OK. You have snared me in. Is it chambering? Is it just slicing a chunk off?
