    I've not listened to it all, but it just seems to wander from side to side (which I find irritating) with no separation of the parts*. Seems a wasted opportunity to me. * apart from the "Tom" seems to be a bit higher in the head than the rest of it.

    I'll take your word for it. I admit I was thinking in terms of the old triac based dimmers, and hadn't really thought about the LED versions.
  3. Count Bassy
    Very late to the show, but they don't really.
  4. Count Bassy
    Newtone stings? They reckon to to almost anything.
  5. Count Bassy
    I can't believe that no-one has asked how much it weighs.

    A Family fan here as well (as you may have guessed). In case you didn't know, Chapman is still going strong (if infrequently) at the age of 77 (78 in a few weeks!). A stark contrast to the recently discussed sad case of Phil Collins. Luck of the draw I guess. Currently working on an album with Poli Palmer (Keys and Vibes in the above clips).
  7. Count Bassy
    That's right. I love the version on "Anyway", but couldn't find that one to post.
  8. Count Bassy
    If we're talking Family then how about "Part of the Load"
  9. Count Bassy
    How many kidneys do have have (currently)? Could you manage with one less?
  10. Count Bassy
    I agree , but there also keyboardists who think they can play a piano!

    Unless you have a big big stage and you have the luxury of everyone having their own monitor mix then it doesn't really make sense to give everyone their own controls, does it? One might turn up one's own mix which has your own instrument to the fore, but that then bugger's up everyone else.
  12. Count Bassy
    But the really sad thing is that I already knew it. Perhaps I should have posted it the the read the whole thread thread

    And it was suposedly the 40th formula that they (Rocket Chemical Company) tried.
  14. Count Bassy
    POssibly not the wobbly screw, but the rest of it? .... easy peasy.

    Lola - Kinks Maggie May - Rod Stewart

    Those are pretty well what I use at the moment, but they tend to stick to each other too much in the box of cables (talking PA cables here). Probably not problem if you have one or two instument bales in your Bass bag/case.
  17. Count Bassy
    No, me neither. What sort of cable diameter range will they clip to? And congratulations to everybody who managed to decypher my original post!
  18. Count Bassy
    What do you people think are the best cable wraps for holding cable rolls together? I've been using the velcro ones, which are great in that they stay attached to the cable itself, and also hold pretty well in use. The annoying thiig is how they keep sticking to themselves and others in the box when you dont want them to. I was looking at the rubber "Rapstrap" type things, but those don't seem to be permanently attachable to a cable. Any ideas/recommendations?

    Unfortunately superb musicianship does not always make superb music. (Just a general comment, not on SD particularly).
  20. Count Bassy
    A pointless exercise - there is none.
  21. Count Bassy
    This as well. In many cases the original band would play it differently each time anyway. As I said above it keeps it organic and exciting. It's only when committed to a recording that songs become frozen.
  22. Count Bassy
    I voted 5. I tend to listen to the original(s) of a track and start from that, but then do my own thing in the same vein. Obviously there are exceptions where the punters expect a specific thing at a particular point in a song, but generally they don't give a stinky poo as long as they reckognise it. I very rarely play the same song the same way twice in a row anyway. Much more fun to vary it as you go along and see where it takes you. NOTE: all this is in the past tense as I'm currently dormant!

    School trip to see Jesus Christ Superstar at the Palace theatre (1973/4 ish ??). Those first few bars of bass at the beginning just blew me away and made me want to play bass. Sadly it was 30 years or more before I did anything serious about it.
  24. Count Bassy
    Are we both married to the same woman?
  25. Count Bassy
    Iggy Pop supporting the Foo Fighters at MK bowl several years go. Obviously a matter of taste, but IMHO he blew them out the water.
