Got an extra wide padded leather strap Two music theory books and a Birds of Tokyo CD. Oh, and a Winery Dogs t-shirt.

Some useful transcripts there, ta. I like the site design as well, clean and uncluttered, very straightforward.

Do you learn the material in your own time or are you going to waste my time and money and turn up to rehearsal and expect to wing it there? Has your singer got their own PA? Are the gigs paid and what's the split? When and where do you rehearse? Is it a dictatorship or democracy? Sorry, that's 5

I never learnt to play guitar and bass was what was left when my mates were forming a band.

Sid was the poster boy of punk and not a lot else. Whether that is sad, unfortunate or other is for individuals to make their own mind up. He never struck me as someone who would make their mark musically say like Foxton or Simonon. From all the clips of interviews etc he never strikes me as someone you'd want to be in the company of for long. The other thing that always is apparent when the Sex Pistols are discussed is what a manipulative and horid individual McLaren was.

Yes, the 75. They look lovely, limited edition though. They're also doing the standard V7 in red as well I believe. There are also murmurings about a P bass. Shame only Thomann seem to have the foresight to stock Sire in Europe.

Black and tort, I've gone quite giddy

And so much space you could drive a fleet of buses through the whole song...totally awesome

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1450036926' post='2929083'] Every time i revisit this thread, I am always hopeful there would be some decent insight. Unfortunately I feel as if I have wasted a minute or so. [/quote] Don't give up heart, there's always the Macca thread.

I've got one

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1449606986' post='2925195'] That is not a cool look. [/quote] Damn it

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1449606060' post='2925178'] Did someone mention headbands? [/quote] I dare anyone to say that is not a cool look.

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1449604607' post='2925151'] Fret...don't fret...just stay away from the headbands. Ethnic beanie, tea cosy or jazz beret if you must.....even a pork-pie hat, but for the love of God....no headbands. [/quote] Are we just talking the elasticated toweling things here?

Indeed, people should fret less.

10cc -10cc was the first album I bought with my own money, I think I was about 8. I played it continuously for 2 years, that's how long it took me to save up for my next purchase Hugely creative, and I suppose I still look for that in the music I listen to now. Very interesting programme.

Great vocalist and a great frontman.

That is absolutely lovely. And for £700 is equally stunning. Happy new bass day

Quite a lot of the website seems to have gone missing.

POLAR audio are the distributor for Ampeg in the UK.

I played a couple of Fleetwood Mac songs in a band last year and loved playing those bass lines. McVie has great taste in what he plays IMO

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1448559723' post='2916482'] I also heard Tony did lead vocals for a bit. He's retired these days and teaches music in the West Country. [/quote] He teaches in North Devon. I went to a showcase of his students work he put on a few Christmases ago. It was at the pub all the students frequent when they're supposed to be in class...we went there when we were students 20 years before
