  1. there's a very similar conversation going on in the Glastonbury 2023 thread,
  2. to state the bleedin obvious, it's a lot different being there than watching it at home, being there the atmosphere has a lot bigger impact than sitting at home watching it on TV
  3. surprised at the criticism of Glen Matlock, he was so low in the mix as to be nearly inaudible even through my 15" PA speakers, or maybe this was on purpose because he wasn't very good, I really couldn't tell, same with Tony James in Generation Sex's set, the only time I heard the bass well was in Elton John's set, on the ones I listened too anyway, which I admit wasn't many
  4. yes his voice sounded good but his dictation was as bad as ever, not a massive fan, so not that familiar with the words, without subtitles I wouldn't have had a clue what half of them were
  5. It was more to do with the mix than the Stingray, a Precision would have sounded just as good with that mix, once again a lot of performances suffered because of rubbish sound engineers, on TV at any rate
  6. Cat Stevens was exactly the same, as he proved when he had footage of him singing when he was young, and he's 74 now. Just watched Blondie, telephone was dodgy but I'd rather have them there a bit the worse for age than not at all
  7. I'm not convinced that our website is value for money, but the singer loves the perceived kudos of having one and he runs it (the band pays) so it's not worth the aggro of having an argument about it, I don't understand tictok but it seems to have traction, I'll have to investigate
  8. I had to sort out some live tracks for the band I'm in, I just cut and pasted bits from other parts of the song where we hadn't made a mistake, no over dubbing, as such, required
  9. the price will drop when the people with enough cash not to care have bought one
  10. if you're using Google Chrome to generate a new password yes, if you've got sync turned on, well mine does
  11. I just use google suggestions, seems to work well.
  12. we all give our email address out all the time for legitimate reasons, well I do, an email address by itself is no problem (apart from unwanted emails) it's the passwords that go with them
  13. that was the gist of the one I got as well, I knew it wasn't true, I've got a cover over my camera lens 🤣
  14. yep, I used to use the same password, not anymore, I got an email from someone which said they'd got access to my account and threatening to expose my activities to all my contacts unless I paid them $400 (it always seems to be dollars), they quoted the password, trouble is, thankfully, I don't use it anymore
  15. I use my MIA precision for gigs and a Vintage V4 for practice, very little difference between them apart from the Fender has newer strings on it and when they start to sound a little dull they go on the Vintage and a new set on the Fender
  16. I've owned a couple of Trace Elliots for a few years now, a GP12 SMX Ah 250 and a GP12 series 6 Ah 200, I use the series 6 as my main amp, it's simpler and, I think, sounds marginally better, they're both heat sink models so weigh in at 13kg each, I can't see me changing them tbh Why? Heft 😊
  17. people are conned by very clever misleading ads all the time, usually it's big companies with a huge budget. I'll bet a few on here have done mods to their basses thinking they know better than the manufacturers that built them then flogged them on trying to say they've improved them when they know they haven't really His ads are an extreme example but anybody naïve enough to be taken in probably doesn't even know they've been done, as his feedback testifies too
  18. he's one of life's eccentrics, the world would be a duller place without them
  19. don't know about fretless basses but it would seem he sells other guitars and still got 100% feedback, the only people who buy must have no experience and don't know what they've bought
  20. whenever I see a bass player not playing the right bass line in a covers song (unless it's obviously the bands own version) I just think either they're lazy, incompetent, or have an ego problem, if you want to play your own bass lines join an originals band ymmv
  21. happens all the time, The Kinks and Animals were always having fights, must admit I've often thought about whacking our singer on occasions, probably would have done in my younger days
  22. luminous tape of ebay works for me
  23. a lot has changed in 3 years, bands like Knock Off can probably still sell albums, but I suspect it's less than it used to be
  24. No, well not many, it's all about streaming these days, we get about 500 streams a month for which we get about £2!!! we're really struggling to get our money back on our last CD and we only had to sell 100. As @BigRedX says T shirts are far more profitable
  25. while your sentiments are to be applauded, the artists gets nothing if you buy second hand
