This situation is going to be resolved by talking. The problem with Trump when his mouth is moving he's not talking, he's lying.

Just one Russian.

I play in lots of trio bands and it is my favourite line up. You just gotta do it right. Don't play louder, don't add effects to fill out the sound, don't play more notes. These are all mistakes. Nothing sounds worse than trying to fill in the spaces. Improve your timing, embrace the spaces and just play the songs. It might sound "empty" at first but you'll get over that and realise you didn't need 2 guitars in the first place.

She's a great player. Shame Guitar Guitar haven't flooded the stores with Sandbergs to coincide with the tour.

Zelensky is the victim here. You can argue about what he should have done or what he shouldn't have done, but that's not the story. Trump and Vance’s little game, their disgusting hatchet job, is the story. It won't be reported accurately in the US. All mainstream media is living in fear right now. Every time they are reporting on a Trump story, their main concern is not to be sued by Musk or Trump, or both, or lose their broadcasting licences. The world has become a less safe place after today.

. . . . another double post!!!

In 1979, when I lived in Sydney, we had to buy annual ambulance insurance, or they wouldn't send out an ambulance.

I wouldn't put it past the Trump administration to throw in extra demands once they've started the negotiations. The UK government has to negotiate with the intention to walk away from any deal that is harmful to the UK. Our lot are naive simpletons in comparison to the maniacs running the US Government. Issues with food? How long have you got!! There's the growth hormones used by the truck load and the antibiotics they have to use to treat the animals when they get ill, and the pesticides that are also used by the truck load, and are currently banned by the UK and EU. With the wrong deal we can wave goodbye to trade with the EU.

I won't feel positive about a US trade deal until I know the NHS has been protected from US drug companies and super adulterated US food isn't included.

The UK has arrest warrants out for the Tate’s, so they should be flying directly here, and nowhere else!!!

I wonder how much of a cut Trump was demanding to "sweeten" the deal!

There was a punch-up on a gig we did in Dover a few years ago. That's the only fight in a pub I've seen this century.

Sorry Ewan, but Roberta's version beats yours hands down.

Trump and Musk are currently dismantling all the checks and balances. Many of Musk's actions in the last few weeks have been illegal, but Trump's threats to the Republican party is keeping them silent, which is shameful. Trump said he is the law, therefore the law doesn’t apply to him. He's going full megalomaniac.

Also Trump behaving like an ill-mannered, petulant 5 year old child, trying to bully the Governor of Maine during a speech a couple of days ago. Pathetic behaviour from any adult, let alone the President of the USA!!!

Sad news. Beautiful voice. She launched the careers of Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller by firing them from her band. She told them they should be running their own bands and being successful in their own right.

. . . . or expect a lot, lot less from the 2 x 8!!

I would be surprised if the bass and amp was anything special. The tone and attack is all the player.

What combo is it?

What is your regular rig? 2 x 8 cabs are fine at home, but I wouldn’t be able to gig with one.

To balance any bass you need a top horn that is long enough to balance the instrument when on the strap.

My problem with "upgrades", "downgrades", "mods" etc, how do I know the knowledge, experience and skill set of the person making these changes? Do they know what they are doing or are they enthusiastic idiots without a clue. . . . but still think they know what they are doing!! My solution is to buy a bass that is exactly what I want in the first place.

i agree. I don't want bass gear that has been altered in any way by an owner. I don't even like internal shots of amps.Why do that? Why take the amp casing apart?
