Funny, that... now I come to think of it, pretty much every mod I've carried out has inevitably seen me at some point or other hacking away with a chisel, muttering "get out of there you BASTID".

My reply would be along the lines of, "sex and travel".

Lone Ranger - Quantum Jump

My favourite tone is Mike Stern's signature sound. He gave a mate and I a quick tour of his rig at a Jazz Caff gig once**. It's not massively complicated but I love the sound he gets. CAUTION: jazz-fusion content. ** For anyone who gives a toss... he only uses the neck humbucker of his signature Yam, into a Boss DS-1 and a Boss digital delay stomp; one output of the DD goes to a Roland JC combo (chorus switched off), the other goes to a Pearce preamp and Yamaha SPX-90 FX unit (set to a de-tune patch to give his chorus-y shimmer), unknown power amp and 2x12 cab.

Agreed, the solo itself is lovely. The guitar tone however is utter pish. Tinny, horrid, squeaky picking. Bleucchhh. I agree with Mykes, cheap sounding fuzz is definitely my least preferred tone.

Jungle Boogie - Kool and the Gang

And mine. I would cross the county to see the latter band. I wouldn't cross the road to see the former.

My neighbour's dog does.

We do this in my covers band. Big horns-heavy arrangement. I bloody love it. Guaranteed floor-filler.

Mack the Knife - Louis Armstrong

Just wanted to share this latest release by my drummer mate Charlie. He wrote, performed, engineered and produced everything except Tammy's gorgeous vocal. He'd be the first to admit that he doesn't have the greatest voice in the world but I love this.

Only bass players could start talking about new instruments and end up talking about floor tiles.

Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue - Ramones

Rock foxes eh? Whatever next. Metal badgers? Reggae weasels? Funky pigeons?

Let It Bee - obscure beat combo

Fish For A Quid - Monkey Boy

Three Cheers for Five Years - Mayday Parade

I first 'discovered' Frost* when they were already 3 albums in. Most annoying was that I was about a month too late for their Bristol Thekla gig. *kicks self repeatedly*

Anywhere - Rita Ora

36D - The Beautiful South

Thanks to this thread and its Vow Wow chat, my earworm all day has been the main riff from 'Hurricane'. Good tune, so I'm not complaining Good album. I always thought they were very underrated.

This is a waste of tim. You clown-whores.

Let Me Go - Heaven 17

A quick image search on Google shows approx 90% of the resultant Washburn Status 1000s to be wearing black knobs. Probably safe to assume that the black ones are stock. Personally I would instantly replace them with gold ones. The collar needs to match the cuffs, as it were. EDIT: great score, by the way. What a beauty.
