[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1503319789' post='3357147'] It's just one of the old pre-independence US flags. [/quote] [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1503319789' post='3357147'] I have absolutely no interest in American history[/quote] ^^^ This is evident.

Wait... nooses? What?

Cheesy and obvious. Oh, and offensive to some people, too. Lose 'em.

Good tunes and performances, strangled at birth by lifeless, plastic production.

Freebo played one in the early 70s, maybe late 60s?

...and a quick check at 3:22 to see if he's going to miss his bus...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1502883896' post='3354139'] It's owned by José Enciso and is parked outside his diner/restaurant, 'Triple XXX Root Beer' near Issaquah, Washington State. Draws a fair bit of business from passing trade, as you'd expect. [/quote] Ta for the info.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1502837775' post='3353918'] [b]Buddy Holly's Tour Bus, 1958[/b] 'Er Indoors and The Boy are in Seattle visiting relatives. They went out for dinner this evening and came across this - Buddy Holly's Tour Bus, 1958. And they sent me a picture. Amazing that it still exists. Felt a bit weird seeing it really, a mixture of incredulity, a sense of musical history and an unexpectedly poignant feeling, too. Or maybe that's just the drugs. [/quote] That's marvellous! What's the crack with it? Is it in a museum, or...?

[quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1502720291' post='3353081'] Is this a posthumous book? [/quote] Yes.

It's not switch mode (I don't think?) - just a traditional supply.

The sofa is in Germany, is it not..?

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1502698743' post='3352869'] I'm pretty sure the Ashdown MAG in Whistlebinkies is old enough to be one of the class AB models, and the Orange is a solid state guitar amp, no valves. I wouldn't say that output topology is the issue here. [/quote] Ah, my mistake - fair comment. On a wider point, I do think output topology has a lot to answer for, but I guess it's been discussed ad infinitum on other threads...

Strangely, most (if not all?) 600w class-D 'powerhouses' have hi-pass filters to remove the really power-soaking lows, yet a 120w valve head can outperform them. But watts is watts, right? *raises eyebrow*

It's like molten lava! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-FENDER-PRECISION-1964-CUSTOM-SHOP-4-STRING-P-BASS-64-RELIC-3TSB-SPARKLE-/362068369033?hash=item544cf4de89:g:rhcAAOSwClJZjnxu

...|I don't think I've ever used a transcription in my life, TBH.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1502525268' post='3351963'] Anything Duck Dunn is good. . . . but if you can't get his bass lines from listening to the records you need to sharpen up your playing by ear more than you need transcrpitions. [/quote] I didn't buy it for that. I bought it for the first 50-odd pages.

Yep - it's about 200 pages, of which 150-odd are transcriptions. It shouldn't be considered a biog.

[url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soul-Fingers-Legendary-Bassist-Donald/dp/1495052923"]This is it,[/url] and my copy has just arrived...

I'd love to get another - unfortunately it's not possible to spec a lightweight. Understandable, but a shame!

Nice!

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1502399795' post='3351259'] Have to confess, I've not read this entire thread, but does anyone here know where in Poland Maruszcyk are based? I'm going to Krakow and wondering if there's any chance of getting to try some basses. [/quote] Germany. :-)
