SHAD's not nearly as good as SHAG tho....

I think it was just as much influenced by the story of Dennis Brain the French horn player, who used to read magazines and the like while waiting for the horns to come in, during rehearsals with the LSO or whoever, he had a bit of a row with the conductor, Sir Adrian Boult or someone, who got the hump feeling he wasn't giving the rehearsal it's due respect and attention. Mr Brain retorted that provided he came in at the appropriate time and played the 1st horn part adequately, who cares, and carried on reading😁

I've developed a problem playing sitting down which I think I mentioned elsewhere... As soon as I set stuff up and get going, the cat (who's a pretty large cat as they go) jumps up and sits himself down on my lap in front of the bass, acting as a kind of furry string mute, he also wants to be continually fussed etc so won't just settle and let me get on with it. He'll also 'dab' at my hand when I'm attempting to play. I'll have to try a high stool thing from the kitchen in the hope it won't look so appealing..

It may surprise you to know, I'm not really a Dentist .. 😁

I'm forever going to call it SHAG now... 👍

I have a feeling I nicked the basic idea from someone/ somewhere but so long ago I can't remember. The Dandy or Beano us a good alternative too btw 😁

Blimey, what sound does your elbow make? 😳

Jimmy Somerville.. He always reminded me of the Baroque male soprano and counter-tenors, I bet he'd be good at that kind of repertoire. Not heard of him for ages...

Of course.. I'm a Dentist...

Who dear, me dear, no dear, how very dare you.... 😁

Agreed, I certainly won't be punting anyone's flag. Greens can be stunning in some contexts, this thing looks ghastly tho

I sometimes did a little schtick with reading a DC comic or similar if I had nothing to do for a bit...

But what do you think of the bass? 🤮

I was in a band that had a stripper once.... Just a thought 👍

I always thought it a bit odd that the bass was silent till the chorus, he looks a bit of a plum standing there doing nothing as well..

Jesus Built my Hotrod, Ministry

Nah.. I don't think borrowing or renting is part of the parameters ( ok I know I suggested nicking one, only kidding officer👮‍♂️..) You've got to buy a new bass...

Knowing Me Knowing You, Abaaah

I played for about half an hour "side slinging" after I posted it, I found it really comfortable.. kind of resting flat against the hip, in fact I'm going to start using it for a change when playing standing. You can see what you're doing very easily too if you want to look at the markers.

According to what I read, if they assigned roles in the Monkees on musical ability among the four, it'd be Tork.. Guitar, Nesmith.. Bass, Jones... Drums, Dolenz.. Lead singer It seems Tork and Nesmith were both fairly competent players previously, I guess the criticism comes from the fact they were auditioned & assembled for the series, rather than came into being like a "real" band. You can't argue with their success at the end of the day😁

Bogiephobic eh...

I think the man's simply wanting bass slinging suggestions, rather than diet/recipes 😁
