When are the HD's back in stock, Barrie?

It's his Jazz, I think. And, although I'm reluctant to question the recollections of a musical legend, I'd put money on it being strung with flats, not rounds like he's been quoted as saying.

I'm all for companies protecting their copyright to a reasonable degree, but this whole thing reeks. JH should be ashamed.

Alex used to have a great tone. Now it's a drop-tuned slab of sludge. IMO, of course. :-)

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1369170889' post='2085894'] I have not missed Rush in the UK since the Signals tour and have been an avid fan since 1980.....but something strange has come over me with regard to them, and after some (considerable) deliberation have decided not to fork out my hard earned on this tour for the first time. At the time machine tour a couple of years ago I had a moment of clarity and suddenly realized, about mid way through, that I was really bored hearing the same old stuff yet again...and that the new material just is not my cup of tea at all. I also found the video footage featuring the band throughout to be only "mildly amusing" at best whereas others around me were splitting their sides. It's probably just me!. Anyway, that aside, good luck to Rush on the tour and I hope all of the basschatters that will be attending a great gig. [/quote] ^^ this is broadly my experience. The new stuff is just pretty dull, generic and unmelodic. I wish they'd be themselves and stop trying to sound like other bands. And I know NP isn't a groover, but he used to swing a bit. Now he just sounds leaden.

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1369146959' post='2085426'] Too expensive. And Geddy has lost all the top end in his voice if the dvd of Time machine is anything too go by. An WOT, are you serious re the highlight bit of your post???? [/quote] Serious as 'it is it really happening?', or serious as in 'do you really not like it?'... ...I really don't like it.

*rolls out stock answer* I'm giving it a miss too. IMO, CA was a non-event, musically speaking. The tickets are too expensive. The [i]spoiler alert - highlight to read:[/i] [color=#ffffff]addition of the string section[/color] is pure cheese. The animations are getting tedious. I find myself watching them more than the band. Alex's guitar tone is hopeless. Despite all this, I still love 'em. That's the power of Rush for ya.

[quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1369138974' post='2085238'] is that supposed to be helpful? If it sold i'd gladly make a contribution to BC, but given the current constraints it's unlikely to sell quickly. [/quote] It wasn't supposed to be [i]un[/i]helpful. Sorry if it came across that way. What's your preferred outcome? That they lift the charging structure?

[quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1369137759' post='2085216'] Dear BC. If I had the money to pay £7 for a listing, I wouldn't be in the position of having to sell my bass. No PayPal, no current account = necessary sale of bass. Ta [/quote] Sell it locally, then...?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1369001258' post='2083920'] One more of many reasons to prefer BC to TC; BC leaves TC in the shade. [/quote] I hear this a lot. I think people have some sort of selective blindness towards some of the threads posted on BC. We have our fair share of nonsense.

Windows 8, by any chance? The 'metro' version of IE? I had the same problem. Windows 8 is junk.

[quote name='Iana' timestamp='1368620984' post='2079257']Not for tone [/quote] You can't judge something you ain't heard yet. Just saying :-)

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1368608270' post='2079037'] The Bergs could be seriously challenged if Alex brings out a new 112 cab [/quote] Yes. Yes, they could.

I'm one of the non-bass T-shirt-wearing minority, too... People buy me them, and they go straight to the back of the wardrobe. I should have a clear out, really.

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1368455765' post='2077261'] VAT is payable on postage but not customs duty as I understand it and if the item value is less than £15.00 it will attract neither. [/quote] Ah - OK. You ended it with 'etc.' and I lumped it in with all that.

I'm not sure I've ever unsubscribed to a thread I started before. Well, there's a first time for everything.

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1368447034' post='2077097'] The postage cost is not taken into account when charging customs duty, VAT etc. [/quote] Yes it is.

I'm just cheap, me.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368437997' post='2076937'] I would say that anybody who is that upset about him revoking membership from himself is probably only upset because of either his status, or the information and help he could provide to people here. [/quote] Of course. How it all happened leaves a nasty taste, too. It should have been laid to rest ages ago.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1368434253' post='2076890'] Usually for regular contributors though. [/quote] To be fair, there are seventeen gazillion members - you're generally only going to notice those who are regulars or have a profile for some other reason. It would be a shame if GP were to close the door on BC. I wouldn't blame him, though.
