  1. Here's a sampler of one of the bands wot I'm in - you wouldn't think so, but it's actually hard to describe what we do, so we've put this together to help promoters etc.
  2. Well, Tweed to Tees, with a bit of Yorkshire hoyed in. The reality is it's open to anyone from anywhere, but FS ads can only be local. Shameless plug.
  3. ..and I still can't remember the last time I saw a band using any MESA head, with my own eyes.
  4. Right, that's.. what.. a handful, in a super-condensed GAS-inducing environment. I also run an FB group for local bass players (membership just over 3,000), and I don't think MESA have been mentioned once (apart from me, 'cos I love the Walkabout).
  5. I'm just sayin' that they've priced themselves higher than the likes of Bergantino and Glockenklang, which strikes me as a little odd. I can't remember the last time I saw a band using a Mesa head in the UK, but I guess they like it like that.
  6. Of course you can always buy a Range Rover for Ford Focus prices from elsewhere.
  7. Did anyone else read the title of this thread in Davie504’s voice, or just me?
  8. Hi Wolfgang Can you explain this in a little more detail, please? I wasn't aware angled headstocks were inferior to straight.
  9. I'm sure they are, what with them running a large online community for a number of years now 😄
  10. My eBay days are done. For me, BC for substantial / specialist stuff, FB for bits and bobs. Works a treat.
  11. I get the feeling they were a little more honest with the specs than the competition...
  12. Absolutely. But in the meantime, people without context (including me, obviously) are LOLing at the NAMM headstock shot. Which seems a shame.
  13. My point is I'm amazed they've brought them to NAMM with such a terrible logo, rather than a nice one. People will look at it and think 'Dear me. That looks tat'. No, it probably won't doom the line line to failure, but why let that happen?
  14. It's not a massive issue - it just looks crap. This is NAMM, where you'd think everyone would want to look as sharp as possible. But maybe not.
  15. I could design a headstock logo that people wouldn't laugh at in less than four minutes, for 20 quid.
  16. Here's a MetroExpress headstock. I kid you not. (Pic pinched from NAMM thread on TB)
  17. They're utterly dreadful. They really need to stop.
  18. What Darryl plays on the verse here is broadly what I'm hearing on the original. Not just R5R5R5R5R5 (or 5R5R5R5R5R..)
  19. I suspect this chap carefully stuffed socks into his ears prior to working out the bass part.
  20. Unfortunately I can never hear past Ian Mosley's skittish shed building.
  21. 'Paint It, Black' Yours, A pedant
