Too much going on there....... but in a good way 😃👍!

If that's not offensive then may I suggest the following? Fånny Eiderdown and the Coverlettes

Co-incidentally, I also became aware of this track a few days ago, via 6muisc catch up (Gid Coe)…… I thought it was really good too! I'm not good at picking up songs from ads, probably because I never got into the habit of using sham or googling.

Pit Stop

I sometimes use multiple commas just to fit in with other people who use multiple commas. I guess that makes me a comma comma comma comma comma chameleon. .

From the thread title I expected the OP to be an advisory list like: Do not start a Basschat thread on the following topics: Tonewood Playing for free Compression Picks Vs Fingers 4 Vs 5 strings

"Suits you, Sir" Not exactly Oscar Wilde, is it?

Note that one other Higson went on to further success (but stayed in music rather than going over to comedy): Trumpet player Terry Edwards has a long but low key solo career and was in Gallon Drunk for a while.

My sons' school is the nearest school to London Gliding Club (at the foot of Dunstable Downs), and I once won a 'glide' in the Tombola or something. I found it interesting, but scary at the same time. Overall , I don't feel inclined to repeat the experience, and when the pilot asked me if I wanted to take over the controls (as was included in the Tombola prize) I politely declined! Your 'crashing' comment has done little to change my mind .

You won’t go far wrong with Yamaha. You are also on the right track with a singer who pays for the PA!

I can imagine there is some room for premium picks, but I reckon once you get above the £10 for 3 mentioned above (or the spring loaded thumb picks) you will get ........ how shall I say.......... extremely diminishing returns.

In my band I’m just responsible for my own instrument leads. So I coil it with the twist method so it’s about the same size as the pocket of the gig bag. Then it does not uncoil etc. The other ‘lead’ is a wireless thing into the other pocket of the gig bag. for a gig I take coiled spares held in a coil by those elastic things in a previous post.

So what was this correct method?

Just took a listen to a few tracks - about 50% of the album. It fit's roughly in the 6music type of stuff I like, so I feel qualified to comment on that basis. But I'm not qualified music production expert, just a home music hobbyist who considers production a bit of a weak point. I thought it was pretty good, enjoyed it, and wouldn't raise an eyebrow if this cropped up on 6music. It certainly would seem to have good enough sound quality. So it may not be what you had in your head..... but I think the general listers will be OK with it.

Good point - Mods, maybe we need a new emoji:

With so many of us here on the verge of hitting the big time, it would be good to be warned about how these maverick promoters operate. 😀

Mrs Soup will go with me to Tribute bands (AC/DC, Stones etc) or to a folk festival... but can't stand my main musical choices. I go to an occasional Punk/New wave gig with the guys in the band. Might go with my parents to a blues or something. Apart from that I fly solo to most the gigs of the "6music" type bands which I love.

Well I guess not do, but who did/will you go to gigs with? As a punter, not a player.

In general I totally agree about OTT histrionic singing - can't stand it. ,..... BUT sometimes someone can make it work:

Like this: "t a l k b a s s " ? 😀

10 seconds eh...... I won't take up that much of your time:

Listening on catch up to 6Music - Gideon Coe's bible-themed special (5th April). A mix of secular and non-secular songs with a bible reference. Here's a gospel choice - Doris Troy , "Jacobs Ladder". Nice bass line.

Just had a listen myself the other day. Still sounds great doesnt'!!!
