Oof... Personally I’d go Close to the Edge or Fragile... 🙂

That's how I fee about a lot of neo-prog (including latter-day Rush), but with the likes of Yes, Genesis etc. it's actually songs - even if the arrangements are complicated, there's a decent tune behind it.

Ah, the Yes harmonies. Beautiful things. And remarkable considering 1/3rd of them consisted of this chap:

Big Rush and Genesis fan here, since my teens. I could never get into Yes. Anderson’s voice, the flowery lyrics, skittish tunes, and dodgy clothes put me off for decades. Then... something clicked about three years ago. No idea what, but that was it. I love ‘em now. Maybe start with Drama (controversial maybe). By the time you’re at one with Awaken, you’ll realise it was all worth the effort.

It actually looks like the ‘Stand in the Fire’ band to me.... might be wrong, tho!

Yes - me too. Ignore that bit, i reckon 😄

Tuck in, son!

Here's a video review from across the pond.. https://bassmusicianmagazine.com/2020/09/handbox-wb-100-the-120-watt-all-tube-bass-amp-review/

That's definitely the case with the WB-100 - flat is actually flat. Tweak gently to taste.

You're very welcome!

My pal in the Isle of Man posted pics from a gig a this weekend at a theatre he runs over there. It looks like business as usual, and all very normal (well.. for the Isle of Man :-D) I'm very jealous.

Good stuff! The book is incredible. By the end of it you’ll hate him, pity him and love him all at the same time.

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, by Crystal Zevon. The only one that matters.

Quick update... as mentioned earlier, I got the Audient EVO 4. However, despite it sounding fine, I just couldn't get over the cheap build quality and odd UI. It made it feel like a toy. So, back to Focusrite, specifically a 3rd gen 2i2. It feels like a serious bit of kit, and sounds great.

Yep, same for me. Seconds Out, Eagles Live (I know...), Rock of Ages (I highly recommend Sebastian Robertson's remix if you haven't heard it already). One of my real favourites is Lindisfarne's Magic In the Air. The stereo image is great.. really immersive:

A Genesis example. Compare from about the 25s mark on here: ..with what made it to the DVD, from about the 40s mark here:

In what may or may not be a coincidence, WoT Jnr. is called Jet.

I've looked into this a couple of times, but it looks like an absolute minefield so I've always avoided it..

Back in the day when I owned one of these, they sent me out some bits so I could replace them myself. Great service. Just a note re: sending it back to them - if you need to be careful you don't get stung by the Inland Revenue when it comes back.

Dave's a genius.

Yeah, I had three lined up in the next couple of weeks.... all gone.

I wish they'd do more rosewood options with the Decision...
