wateroftyne

It's on the latest reissue as well.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1372256510' post='2123452'] Well if we're being fair, I never said I was ... in fact, that was pretty much my point. [/quote] 'tis a fair point.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1372255189' post='2123427'] the Fender Special series (the active ones in lake placid blue and candy apple red, remember them?) that came out in 1983 I remember that they were pretty bad. [/quote] Actually, weight aside they were probably on a par with custom-shop quality. Fender were at the top of their game around then, with a small workforce turning out a lesser amount of instruments.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1372256271' post='2123444'] I still own two Fenders that were each more expensive than an Alleva Coppolo and a Mike Lull added together. Far more attractive investment than a bloody pension fund. One was made in 1965: And one was made in 1957: [/quote] Ah but... to be fair, going back to your original comment - price-wise, you're not comparing like with like.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1372243459' post='2123206'] The best-playing Fender I've ever owned says "Mike Lull" on the headstock. The second-best Fender I've ever owned says "Alleva Coppolo" on the headstock. The two most expensive basses I've ever owned say "Fender" on the headstock. Sweeping generalisations are always tricky ... [/quote] You owned a Fender that was more expensive than an Alleva Coppolo? Was it made of gold...?

[quote name='longtimefred' timestamp='1371976815' post='2120152'] 4 pages in and nobody has said Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit! Well i just have done. [/quote] Doesn't that start with guitar?

^^^ Him there. That's who you need to speak to.

When the Levee Breaks...

'Red indian'...? Are you the Duke of Edinburgh in disguise?

I have read the book...

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1371795601' post='2118135'] Guy Pratt why he played live with Pink Floyd used a fretless P for songs like Hey You and High Hopes..... I don't know about the original recordings but they sound great on my Defrettted Ibanez with a little bit of reverb [/quote] I'm fairly sure GP used a Status and latterly a Lakland J...

[quote name='aende' timestamp='1371763724' post='2117976'] Can you see what I am saying though? [/quote] I really don't. Sorry. And what is the 'Neil Young thing to do' anyway? This sounds like the David Geffen / George Jones story all over again....

...and don't forget, he's probably selling up to fund Lincvolt. Pretty cool, I say.

[quote name='aende' timestamp='1371762388' post='2117946'] Aha - but he drags out the old favourites every time I have seen him play. [/quote] What, like Surfer Joe? Three songs off the new album? Two unheard songs? And hours of feedback experiments? No Cowgirl, no Down By the River.... [quote name='aende' timestamp='1371762388' post='2117946'] Here comes another crazy horse record and a tour to shore up the bank account....and...here we have another record and another tour to keep it rolling in. [/quote] Yep... there goes Ol' Neil on [i]another [/i]Crazy Horse record and tour. It's only been ten years since the last tour and longer since the last record.He's certainly flogging that cash cow to death. Sorry - there's no doubt you're a big fan, but I'm not quite sure what expect from him. He's 67, and he's still on the cutting edge.

I think you're being incredibly cynical. He's polarised audiences on this tour. And one of the albums he's just recorded with Crazy Horse has been baffling. These aren't the actions of someone selling out.

[quote name='aende' timestamp='1371742736' post='2117640'] Maybe I am being cynical, but I think that Neil Young has become a bit of a 'sell out' now....... [/quote] Wow... I couldn't disagree more.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1371730384' post='2117429'] I actually don't know the "viewership" the site attracts in terms of page impressions per day / week / month. Does anyone here actually know that? [/quote] Based on the handy stat at the bottom of the page, I can tell you that, in the last 15 minutes, 780 users have been online, of which over 3/4 weren't logged on or don't have an account. That suggests a LOT of traffic, and presumably not-insignificant hosting bills.

Chromes are bright. As are GHS Brite Flats.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1371655279' post='2116679'] Erm, BC's very own wateroftyne? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhdDipy8MB0[/media] [/quote] This guy's intonation is laughable. What a clown. Rod Clements was always a bit influence on me. Great fretless P player. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cMMo3ZmYCE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cMMo3ZmYCE[/url]

Mixed feelings about her. She makes out like it's relatively easy (assuming it's the clip I think it is ), but she's only able to crowdsource effectively because she already had an audience to crowdsource to, thanks to time she has spent on a fairly major label.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1371558848' post='2115460'] What makes you say that? [/quote] I imagine the bandwidth is fairly hefty, and there's development costs.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1371495890' post='2114670'] WOT, not everybody spends more than £20 in a weekend in the pub. [/quote] Didn't say they did

I'd pay anyway, even if I wasn't selling anything. I used to donate a bit every year. How much is a subscription to a magazine? BC is a bargain in comparison.
