I went last year and my memories are: A 70 miles 2-hours+ drive to get there, including queueing at a junction with poorly sync'd traffic lights. Having a pleasant chat with the Bright Onion folks (but they said they couldn't do the pedal I wanted). A good chat with a chap on another stand who had restored some vintage amps. Standing at a table wanting to ask something but the bloke there was just talking about himself, loudly and without pausing for breath, so I wandered off; I went back later and he was still at it, so I gave up. Quite a small show for the asking price and not a lot there. Going into Brighton after (haven't been for years), taking a stroll around the lanes, and having a rather expensive (but nice) meal. I didn't bother this time 'round.

So, the government are going to look into things... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20r26p7d0ro IMHO, the dynamic pricing is pretty disgraceful; imaging queueing for hours and then finding the price had trebled! It's manipulation, playing on the gambling & auction fever psyche.

Hmm - I thought "That's a great into to the song", but 4 minutes in it appears to be the whole thing. And then a load of shouty stuff.

I was wondering what post metal is too; I might check it out.

It's got very de-personalised. Then again, stadium-sized gigs are very detached for me too.

I just plain don't like added handling fees, and so-on.

When do the tickets go on sale?

I immediately guessed it was @ash when I saw Lancaster.

Well, it has got a graphic eq to tweak things. Trace did that little 5" speaker HF unit, if you manage to pick one of thos up somewhere.

OUTPUT!!!

Lemmy once said that Led Zeppelin defined the vocabulary of rock music.

Get a doubleneck!

The singer needs a rest.

Or the Deep Purple version... Intro. Verse. Chorus. ORGAN SOLO!!! Verse. Chorus. GUITAR SOLO!!! Chorus. Chorus. Fade.

I don't think so - the difference will be in the fingers.

Well, Beady Eye did do a song called Beatles and Stones. Oasis did "Wonderwall", said "All the roads are winding", ....

I think that Rics are the best basses money can buy; however something like 99% of people who state an opinion say they are awful, but of course they are wrong! My headless Status Graphite is my second favourite bass. My Warwicks are my preferred 5-strings, though a couple of my wooden-necked Status ones are very playable.

Different perspectives on the have-played front... Rics feel natural to me and Wals are big and clunky. Status I like, Thunderbirds are not for me, I have Steinberger Spirit guitar & 5-string basses but they are 2 frets out of position for me, I have a Spector Performer and it's distinctly mediocre.

There seems to be an echo.

I have an Ashbory, which is pretty much an electric uke bass. (Don't try and do slides, though - you'llburn your fingers!)

I reckon so - it's just that the Badass is a higher mass than a BBOT, so perhaps it came to be known as that.

It could even be that the act of putting a new bridge on tightens the screws and so makes a firmer attachment. It's not dissimilar to trying a new cable on your Hi-Fi and the fact that you've unplugged and plugged back in makes a difference. That said, I do like a Badass on a Fender. I did have one on a Ric, but I don't think it seated so well and eventually found its way elsewhere.

I was thinking FSJBB.

For those of you who are anti-Ric and don't like headless, I give you the Rickenberger!

I think I've tried most basses I've seen; the one I haven't got round to (which is sort of a bass) is a Chapman Stick. And a Taurus 3.
