  1. Wasn't there someone on here selling a couple of line 6 M5's for 45 quid each? One of those and a few quid for a compatible expression pedal and you're all set.
  2. They're great. It's my go to bass.
  3. Gretsch Junior Jet 2 all the way. Cracking little bass. I use it a lot more and think it sounds a lot better and it's a lot more playable than the Jaguar.
  4. And the sellers name is ....... scotdexte Methinks the cheeky chappie is having a laugh.
  5. MissEducation. Our female lead singer is (was) a teacher so it works on that level, and it's also a nod to the fake news, false information, flat earth era we live in.
  6. I like "Purple Burglar Alarm". But it's only funny when I Glaswegian tries to say it.
  7. I only discovered flat Earthers were a thing about 12 months ago through YouTube. What a bunch of utter delusional nutters! It's almost a religion. It doesn't matter how many facts or how much proof you throw at them, they will continue to believe whatever they want regardless. It's actual quite scary.
  8. I doubt I'll make that much money over my entire lifetime doing mugs jobs that I absolutely hate, so fair play to the bloke.
  9. Yeah, I think that was pretty much covered earlier today on the thread with the guy doing the acoustic Iron Maiden cover. Call me a heathen if you like, I care not a jott, but I'll take Steve Harris' dum de dums over Jaco Pisstakinbass' pretentious muppetry any day.
  10. I often start to read the comments because some of them are helpful and give more insight and sometimes more information about whatever the specific subject of the video is. However, almost inevitably I have to stop after the first few because I find my faith in humanity being utterly destroyed. I don't post many videos, but occasionally I'll post something for a specific purpose, which is usually aimed at a specific target, and nothing really for general public consumption. One example was a video of a van I was selling. To which some modern day poet wrote "stinky poo van", and another was a video of band practice which I uploaded from my phone purely so I could watch it, and hear it on the big screen. To which someone wrote "That's just noise". Now granted, the second comment was debatable, but that aside, have these people really got nothing better to do? I couldn't even work out how or why anyone would be able to find, or be interested in watching my videos in the first place. Utter pond life.
  11. I literally can't listen to it. I'd rather stand outside and accompany roadworks.
  12. Doesn't that apply to pretty much all Jazz? 😂
  13. Well we've finally agreed on a name, and after all that it has absolutely nothing to do with Monday. 😂
  14. Ironically Happy Mondays would be the perfect name for us, if it hadn't already been taken by a band I'm not very keen on from Manchester. Another tenuous link is that in Bulgarian "Bez" means without. The perfect name for a man without any discernible talent.
  15. Most of his videos are heavily edited and processed, no doubt. Still no denying the boy can play.
  16. .....ahem! I beg to differ. I find most of this guy's YouTube videos pretty annoying if I'm honest. But there's no denying. Damn he can play!
  17. All Iron Maiden songs sound good. With the possible exception of the Blaze Bayley years.
  18. Absolutely agree. My guitarist thinks I'm nuts because I think all Fenders are as ugly as sin, mostly because of the headstock.
  19. What about the Bugera Veyron tube version? About £250 new, and unless I'm mistaken they've just come back in stock at Thomann. They look pretty unbeatable for the money. https://m.thomann.de/gb/bugera_bv1001t_veyron_bass_head.htm
  20. It's too much of a mouthful for me on a Monday. 😂
  21. Yeah I agree. Although that's much more important if you're a working band and it's your living. We're more in it for the fun of it and will be playing more like barbeques and birthday parties, and any money involved will be going to charity. In fact there will hopefully be a charity connection to any gig we play. I can't argue with the sentiment though. Ideally I'd like to come up with something original, but it's much more difficult than you would first think, at least without giving yourself a nonsensical name that's going to wear thin pretty quickly.
