A few years ago some poor sod listed his sports sedan at a dollar reserve but somehow added the ''buy now'' option. 5 minutes later some asswipe bought it for a dollar and TradeMe enforced the deal.

I only use pedals to make a lot of difference. Maybe you are doing it all wrong or maybe you simply don't need pedals.

If a pedal can't do unity gain ( or close ) between off and on then it's dead to me. It really rips my shorts to see the rave review, buy the pedal, then find it's unusable in the real world for the insane volume boost that comes along with the tone. So don't be that reviewer!

You aren't going to be running many pedals at that rate. If you need them, you need them. If you don't, you don't. The common factor in those facts is YOU. I have never tried a modern bass Zoom but lots of people like what they do.

NZ has a global GFCI in the breaker box these days. Still, what's with fuses in UK plugs AND a fuse / breaker box?

What is the reason for plugs having their own fuses?

A drum kit so I could learn drums by playing along with the allowable Dessert Island Discs.

I'd be surprised if you could blow a 3A fuse but I am unfamiliar with UK codes. As I remember you guys don't have fuses on the wires in the wall or if you do they aren't considered safe? All the appliances have to be individually fused to protect the house wiring from starting a fire. 3A fuses may be an additional safety net. Most things don't get through that but if they do it's about to be on fire and not blowing a main fuse until too late.

Yours must be some proper duff copy. My duff copy pulls along fine but it did lose a wheel nut on some cobblestones. A keen eyed waitress found it for me or I would have been stuffed.

If I wanted something like the bass buggy I would make one myself with chunky pneumatic tyred wheels from the engineering hardware store.

That's when you jump up in the air with a twist yelling DRUM SOLO coming down facing the drummer.

No.

After the drummer counted off a number of tunes too fast or too slow at a big gig he got a tablet with a metronome setlist app. Thank God. Previously I had managed to cut him off with a 'HELL NO' on occasion before he got to 4 but counting off a ballad double time escaped my attention until the horns were off to the races. Poor old singer sounded like a Chipmunk.

I got a sweet Fender Jazz. Revelled in the growly one pickup slightly down tone. Got it onstage and ''what the ????" buzzing like a fridge. Humbuckers forevermore for me.

There's a famous story I think from WWII where the captured English garrison managed to put the flag up upside down so some Commandos got to go in hot instead of getting ambushed by Ze Germans. Something like that...

Believe it or not I am pretty sure the last time I sang that ditty I was doing it every week at primary school assembly.

I didn't know there was a bass breakdown! Or maybe it's unremarkable and I intuit it and it's over and done on to the next.

Seems like they are working through the EU country by country doing the deals individually that EU HQ wouldn't do pre Brexit. You need a few more countries to fall into cooperating and the rest will feel like they are losing out on Coldplay and Elton soon enough.

I figure that's supposed to be the case but my one feels like it might fall over if a fly landed off centre.

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.
