    Withdrawn for now! 😀

    Most 'classic' albums pass me by. Just associate them with the never-ending polls in Mojo magazine. Sure, there's maybe a few, but..... If I saw someone's record collection filled with such records, I would immediately jump the conclusion that they have zero imagination, and are just listening to what they think they should be. No offence....! 🤐

    I'll watch this on catch-up/Sky download for sure. Later? Don't think I'll bother......

    I did a couple of recordings with the same studio, several years apart. First time, used a Rickenbacker 4003. Second time, a P bass. Experience was the opposite - I was grilled as to 'where's the Ricky?' as oppose to welcoming the P!

    Watched it, not sure what to make of it. Nobody came out of it well. Both brothers appear to be quite dislikable. A snake pit of emotions for sure. Seemed a bit staged at times, if I'm honest.

    What a depressing way to end 2018. That line up is precisely the reason why the BBC's music programme department needs a total shake-up.

    Mickey bought my copy of Pete Way's autobiography. As before, so easy to deal with, a real credit to BC. Enjoy the new read! 😀

    I like them, but can't get on with them! Tried a good few, but with they just don't have that tone in my hands. Can't disagree with the fact that it's probably the most recorded bass ever.....so the problem is most definitely with me!

    This is John Hall. Cease and desist this thread with immediate effect, or I'll set the entire Rickresource user base on you all! 😆

    I love all of their output. Can't find fault in any of it....sorry!! 😀

    It's down again! ÂŖ22.51. Might be of interest for those who missed on the ÂŖ18 of last week! Went up really quickly last time.....

    Would love to see this tab'd or a how to video. I'd be really keen to play this! 😀

    I watch CBC every year. Love it. Due a watch tomorrow as it's Christmas Eve. I was playing around with the soundtrack last night. Vince Guaraldi was a genius. He was immensely proud of his Charlie Brown work and rightly so. He had a good voice as well....witness 'Little Birdie' and one of my favourites, the totally legendary 'Joe Cool'! 😎

    When he stopped playing bass with Genesis......🤔

    Now ÂŖ55! 😮

    Many thanks. Been looking at this, but was put off by the ÂŖ50 price tag! Now ordered....at that price, I don't care how long it takes! 😀

    What a legend. Another player from an era now gone....looking at the list, very sadly.☚ī¸

    Manic Street Preachers - pre-1995, before Richey Edwards went missing. Totally different band, lyrically and musically. Can't abide what they became 1996-onward....sold millions more records, but lost all of what made them different and great. Blue Oyster Cult - Tricky one....first 3 'black and white' albums are sublime, post-'Reaper'.....some great stuff, but never the real consistent heights they reached on albums 2 and 3. All IMHO of course.....😀

    ....and sold! Thanks Mick!

    Pete Way - A Fast Ride Out Of Here - The Autobiography Read once, so in very good good condition indeed. Tiny spine crease, other than that, immaculate. I bought it as a 'not a big' UFO fan or anything, like some of the classic stuff, moreover, it's just a great rock 'n' roll bass tale! The rise, fall, and.....well, you'll have to read it to find out! New copies are a tenner, so only looking for ÂŖ6 posted to your door in the UK. Payment by PayPal 'gift' please. Please PM with any interest, and thanks for looking! SB 😀

    Sold Brian a nice RightOn leather padded strap. Comms were excellent, and the transaction was super smooth. As you'd expect from a good man from the walled city! Thanks again Brian! 😀

    Honourable mention to the late David Brown on bass....did a couple of stints with Carlos, awesome player. Not a particularly well known name, and sadly the drink and drugs took him in the end.

    RIP Pete. I was thrilled to see them back in '93, not too long after they'd relaunched. They'd released a new album at the time as well, and it was great to see them on the up again. Less than a year later, they were out with Nirvana! Place was tiny, so we were right up close. Awesome gig. He had such a way with melody and delivery. Those records are timeless. I really like the later stuff he wrote at the end of their first incarnation - stuff like 'Strange Thing' - really underrated.

    I think it has slowed. I listed my US Geddy Lee, a minter, ÂŖ500 off the going price...and it's still with me. I'll either keep it, or pass it on to a shop to sell for me to widen the net. Either way, I think the slightly bigger ticket items are sticking on here right now.

    Bit of a thread resurrection here - it's been shown on Sky Arts, and I recorded it. Loved it, very entertaining. Does anyone know if the DVD has got any decent extras on it? Just thinking ahead for Christmas ideas, maybe get the Blu Ray for my collection, as it's the only Rush DVD I'm missing. But having seen it, it's only really worth it if there's some decent extra stuff on there.....
