Stub Mandrel

The choice of Klingon bass players across the galaxy.

Had a good one. Took my Squier Standard Jazz with old style mutes to do Brown Eyed Girl (sorry... it's actually a lot of fun to play). Some fun new songs, Be Good to Yourself, I'm a Man, Roxette... Also took my Epiphone Embassy... singer and guitarist's eyes nearly popped out, then they heard it. Begged me to play it at gigs!

Cardiff has got The Spunkles. "The Spunkles are coming, across the land! The Spunkles are coming, they're a nasty little band!"

Nothing to do with bingeing the advent calendar? 😁

Not always. I'm thinking of Lemmy-era Hawkwind where he often carried the melody.

The Sex Pistils* *botanically correct band.

Why is it that DJs are pathologically unable to tell that their PA is distorting... let alone have any idea about EQ.

Looks a chilled place.

Most covers you pretty much have a rhythm to follow. Blues and originals, I get more opportunities to be creative. One example, I vary one shuffle based song by dropping in a triplet in a different place in the bar each verse. Was watching another band recently and their bass player did exactly the same.

He died so long ago... his influence is fading.

Goo Goo Dolts

Now that's a creative excuse 🤣

All those woke music fans cancelling Christmas this year...

I wasn't so much highlighting the importance of rhythm keeping, but thinking of the wide range of rythmic possibilities. It feels like we lack the vocabulary to discuss rhythm the same way as we do harmony.

Melt Loaf

Played the singer's local. Was a weird setup. Lead guitarist's pedalboard was very noisy Went down well, helped by various friends of the band. Manager kept videoing us and was right up vlose and trying to get us to look into the lens which was pretty distracting at times. Just rehearsals now until mid-january.

Geat Loaf (for fans of Bēowulf).

More variations than you can shake a stick at on Temu. Mine was about £19.

Cheap generic much like this: Page 2 of each short address can be used to control a fixture with a long address 8 higher than the fixture on page 1 (if they both use 8 bytes or fewer).

I figured out my PARS will be happy with 1,9,17,25 etc. But means page switching when programming them.

Not a Marleaux on the right, but I'd class it as a copy... HB Marquess.

1950s German. Under UV light.

Little and large(r).

It's a shame they don't standardise on the first five channels of every light being overall brightness/r/g/b/w.
