I have what must be a terrible copy of one of those Hercules squat frame foldups. I should throw it in a skip but I hang onto it on case I find something that will actually sit still on it.

It sounds like a lot of fun but I doubt it will make it to air here on account of 'too soon' since the mosque massacres in Christchurch. I am indeed anti a few 'Muslims' that the majority disown for obvious lack of civility. The most famous comic here is still Billy T James, RIP. When they give out awards to comics they are ''The Billy T's''. He was fond of mercilessly taking the Mickey out of his fellow Maori folk stereotypes. He didn't escape criticism from Kaumatua but they weren't the only ones missing the simultaneous jabs at Colonial whiteys. Taking the gypsy's kiss out of oneself is a hallmark of UK humour. It's great that the UK Muslims are getting in on the act. Even better when it's a musical.

Number of amps taken in for routine service : 0 Number of breakdowns not caused by user error : 0 Conclusion: wait until it sounds off.

How long before a Fatwa gets issued on them to close it down?

An awful lot of punters don't even recognise my EUB as the bass so it would have to be a Morgan 3 wheeler with the V twin poking out the front.

Still got it? Might need a fresh battery to blow your socks off.

Oh, oh, pianist playing keyboard!

No light on = either no power or the input lead has gone open circuit.

When Metallica turned into a bunch of ''soft sellout hippies'' that's when I find them listenable.

Someone must trying be trying to get all the Taliban's heads to explode.

I should have said playing cards other than those dealt, but it was too wordy.

Strange question. Not playing the cards you are dealt is otherwise known as cheating.

A foundation of bassists.

In your other thread you were looking for alternative arrangements for your wheelchair as the stock ones didn't look suitable. What did you go for?

Ime 'pub band' venues don't have the capacity for worthwhile stage monitoring without causing an unholy mess out front, even with a stage. Vocal PA ftw. So I asked OP what his average means.

The question was for the OP.

With the PA doing the work? That's not average for me.

Long before internet forums I must have picked up on the essential truth from one of the old pros I got to jam with as a beginner. In my first rowdy band with my pride and joy Trace rig being hard to hear over the stupid loud guitarist I drew a line in the sand and the guitarist was forced to pull his head in. The line I drew was where the speaker didn't get any louder despite increasing the master and backing off a tad for good measure. Ten years later I learned about ohms and watts and volts and sensitivity and it made little difference to operations aside from the addition of a high pass filter.

Off topic but one of the most entertaining cover bands I ever heard played everything funky. All the usual suspects, no matter how non funky the original, got made into funk without sounding wrong. That's not easy!

An outstanding example of the kind of lowlife that gets up to that sort of thing story... A few years ago Christchurch had a bad earthquake. The worst building failure was the near total pancaking of a reinforced concrete multistory office building. Something like 3/4 of all the deaths in the quake were in it. The investigation turned up that the supervising construction engineer was a con artist. Had the building been built properly it should have stood up but they couldn't prove it. As far as I know the guy never even went to court but he lost his job as a ''helicopter maintenance ''engineer'''' in Australia. Some mothers' children....

A spike is very unstable rotationally until you add a wing to brace yourself into. That's why the tripod is the usual goto stand. Your original plan to spike it between your feet and pad it against the chair would work but it would put the instrument quite vertical and too far forward unless you can sit up and balance on your haunches?

We may never know at this rate.

The trick is to put the heat shrink on the wire before soldering together ( DOH!!!) and not get it all so hot that the heat shrink goes off before you slide it onto the joint! Tinning the wire ends goes a long way to making it quick to get a joint. Remember that solder flows towards the heat.

You can probably get one with the NXT omni boomerang sling system.
