  1. You won't free up much space by selling it....
  2. I've been wondering, if they're playing a Tele, would that make that less likely?
  3. When I was 18, my plan for a band playing nothing but Pixies covers got as far as the name: The Debasers
  4. While I was listening to that, YouTube suggested Iron Horses two discs of bluegrass Metallica covers to me. Mmmm.
  5. I think first band I had this experience with was Bananarama
  6. When I bought a modestly priced bass built in Yamaha's Indonesian factory, it was pretty much playable out of the box. A month later I took it to be set up. The tech said, there are things that need doing but you wont see any dramatic changes, and added that that is exactly what he would expect of a Yamaha. Around that time I tried a few other Indonesian basses, also not set up by the shop. I think they all would have been made by Cort (Ibanez, Squier) They were all harder work to play, and the Squier Jazz was in such a state that the 1st fret didn't actually work. (Still haven't worked out what would have been wrong with that.) Yamahas approach seems a happy medium to me, at least providing a usable instrument if the retailer isnt doing any set up.
  7. OT: one of my favourite bits of random nonsense come across on YouTube was a German metal band and a bagpiper doing playing The Riddle to an audience of about two dozen. In my memory, Dread Zeppelin were a long time ago, before tribute acts as a genre were established. Have there been many other acts which play one band's music in another band style? Depeche Mode played à la Madness would be a fun live experience.
  8. How come TB brought themselves to dispense with your services is ever more of a mystery
  9. I don't know much about the Eagles, but I know what I don't like. I'm with the Dude on this.
  10. A sound engineer isn't claiming they can design an oil refinery any more than this chap is claiming to be able to write a prescription for antibiotics. Words are capable of multiple meanings, humans are capable of understanding them all.
  11. When academia started awarding qualifications in engineering, did they invent the word "engineer", or did they merely take an existing word? If they had wanted to a trademarkable term, they should have come up with a new word. Surely if someone can mend a kettle they can make a new word?
  12. If they're engineering the various sounds to produce a listenable whole..... Btw, I had to study for 3 years to get my B of Arts, so please don't call yourself an artist. I'm the artist, my piece of paper says so
  13. This has lost its way somewhere between Virginia and me. My hope is being kept afloat by the fact that a bass guitar in a hard case doesn't exactly slip into a postal worker's back pocket. PS yes, that is a 1½" nut PPS and it's got a quartersawn neck and weighs only 7 lbs and why is it that it's the greatest bass ever made that goes missing? 😭
  14. Yeah, sorry about that, they wouldn't let me in at the Burnby Lane tip, so I just chucked it out the window on my way home.
  15. I knew before I looked at the photo what the bass would be
  16. Please can we take a moment to think of the guitarist in this situation, who has none of the options available to the OP 😢
