I'm sure you were angelic 🙂 Smashing bass, and great build photos.

I feel that it would be terribly sad if all music faded or died after the original performance. Personally, I think every performance or rendition of a song has the potential to be better than the first; I don't see anything magical about the first effort, and indeed many songs have benefited from a revisit by the original artist. To list examples of songs where I believe a cover, re-recording or live performance is better would be pointless as it's entirely subjective. In many cases - where a song switches genre, for example, it's greatly influenced by social and cultural factors.

There are an uncountable number of web pages dedicated to challenging that assertion; let's agree to disagree. So you feel that such classical pieces should no longer be performed or re-interpreted?

Problem is it would be a one-way process as I'd have to cut the top off the cab for it to be worth doing.

I've got a TE 1110 combo. GP11 Mk. 2 preamp, 300W power amp, 4x10. Would it be sacrilege to convert such a classic piece of kit to a separate head and cab?

So do I!

I like the Guild, can't appreciate G&Ls the headstock is a marmite thing.

Superficially, but look below the surface. Lots of songs written by non-performers; most well known songs covered multiple times and often done better by the cover artist; most bands having multiple personnel changes in their heyday.

Why are people so precious about 'popular' music? It's a bloody good job we don't insist the Four Seasons or The magic Flute have to be performed by the original artists!

Ah the benefits of a private healthcare system... no-one can afford to be ill.

Dangnabbit. One of the few instruments to have a tune written to celebrate it.

I think the point is to show what it would look like with a more conventional headstock. An option could be buying one and and chopping refinishing the headstock.

You will learn faster the more you mix it up. Also worth playing arpeggios and randomly noodling within a scale - especially if you change positions.

I have a suspicion that the Coronavirus was genetically engineered by Millennial and Gen-Xers specifically to target Baby Boomers... AGE DEATH RATE all cases 80+ years old 14.8% 70-79 years old 8.0% 60-69 years old 3.6% 50-59 years old 1.3% 40-49 years old 0.4% 30-39 years old 0.2% 20-29 years old 0.2% 10-19 years old 0.2% 0-9 years old no fatalities

Consider fitting 5mm x 3mm neodymium magnets, you have to push the pole pieces down into the body. Turns Squier PUPpies into ravaging wolves 🙂

"Bite" me off a piece of that 🙂

John Entwhistle too, he whacks the strings down against the frets with his fingertips, playing over the end of the fretboard, something I like doing when I want an aggressive sound.

Day Tripper. Only ever learnt the main riff before. Quite subtle and very inventive.

It's based on a figure of 50% of people catching it worldwide, so it's unlikely to be an under-estimate.

Both, although the better I get at bass the more I realise how bad my guitar playing is.

Without any ill-will to Phil Collins, I'd only go and see Genesis if they replaced him with Peter Gabriel and did the early stuff instead of the pop/AOR.

It's supposedly derived from the Gibson EB-1 although it looks more like a Hofner with the horrible rectangular control plate.

I may be wrong, but I think the 'Clive Button' version was the four-mosfet power amp design as used in the keyboard amps which is relatively bullet proof compared to the bipolar design.
