Sweet. Enjoy!

We're Only Making Plans for Nigel (Lawson) - XTC

Bonny Bonny Wood.

More than happy to throw a few quid into the pot to help keep this forum going as it's quite good.

Urban Gorilla - Hawkwind

Totally agree with this, you can polish a 💩 only so much until you realise it's still a 💩.

Unfortunately, I know exactly what you're saying. I quit my last band earlier in the year for a number of different reasons, most of them stemming from the singist. I put a few ad's out there, saying what I was after (original material, etc.), but was still approached by covers only bands. Also approached by a couple of people wanting to do originals who sent links to their material, but when I listened to it, calling it "woeful, formulaic rubbish" would be generous. Anyway, @NancyJohnson, I don't think it's too much to ask. You can only polish a 💩 so much, until you realise it's still a 💩.

Good bands need good singers, unfortunately, most good singers come with excess baggage that doesn't always make them good team players. As much as the singers think that the band revolves around them (much like their ego's), they also have to work as part of the team.

Thanks, I'll have to try and spend a bit of time playing with it all.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a plugin for a Virtual Drummer? I've seen the Virtual Drummer on Logic, but is there an equivalent for something like Cubase or Studio One? I do have an old SR16, but would prefer a plugin. Thanks.

Saw Slipknot on Sunday, good show, and surprised to see their bass player using 4 string basses, mainly a Status with SIMS LED's, a Flying V and something else I didn't recognise.

The bridge pickup bezel is a good call.

What about the Warwick Rockbass Star Bass?

Fabulous acquisition, enjoy! 👍

Wind of Change - The Scorpions

The Times They Are A Changin' - Bob Dylan

Off to see Slipknot on Sunday in Glasgow with my lad.

It's been discussed a few times, but that's as far as it went. The singer was all for it, but the guitarist / songwriter was adamant it wouldn't happen. The drummer's not really available, as he died a few years ago. It'd be a one off, and probably no one would turn up, but it would be fun to revisit some of those songs again.

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - Timmy Mallet

Snake Bite Love - Motorhead

Very nice indeed!

Tanglewood always used to make a nice range of affordable, good quality acoustics. Likewise, Vintage Guitars. The only recommendation I could make, is that with Acoustic guitars especially, you need to go to a few shops and try out a shed load of instruments to find one that sounds and plays the best to you.
