    There are far, far worse headstocks on P & J style basses out there. The rest of the bass is so damn good, I can easily overlook it.

    Errm yes, I know. I've been doing this music malarkey long enough to have realised that.

    Would that be Eddie Han Valey now?

    Yes it was. The clue is in the phrase "he was offered either a flat fee or a percentage".

    After I collected my Shuker in 2007, I found some really lovely turned ebony knobs on eBay... they look a million miles better than the black dome metal ones it had. (It never occurred to me to spec some nice knobs when I originally commissioned the build.) I remember them being ridiculously cheap for what they were, but the guy's ebay shop is long gone alas.

    Just resurrected my old mic stand (and when I say 'old', it still bears the name of a band I was in that split in 1988). Very rusty and creaky, but after disassembly an overnight soak in white vinegar and a clean-up with wire wool soon got rid of the rust on the adjusting bits, and with a bit of silicon WD spray here and there it's as good as... well, not good as new, but it's got a new lease of life.

      Just retired my old mic stand to the bin.  Can't complain, it probably did 400 gigs plus with me....what surprised me is it's replacement weighed about half as much.

    Yamaha Basses

    Rich replied to Tim2291's topic in Bass Guitars

    I have always said that Yamaha basses offer nearly unbeatable VFM. My old RBX765A was an incredible instrument for its ridiculously low asking price. I would take a BB1025x over any Fender bass**, any day of the week. And I would dearly love to have a TRB5P. ** with the possible exception of the Roscoe Beck 5 and the original Urge

    Things like this really make me wish I got on with Tbirds. Lovely.

    When Vincent Price recorded his part for MJ's Thriller album, he was offered either a flat fee or a percentage. He chose the fee.

    This perfect, perfect song. Opening track from session legend and nicest guy in the world Mo Foster's solo album Bel Assis, with the incomparable and much missed Gary Moore on guitar and the godlike Simon Phillips on drums. So beautiful it puts a lump in my throat.

    If you're going to use nothing but quotes, at least make them accurate. If you start completely changing their point willy-nilly, your 'argument' instantly loses all credibility. You may as well change all their "will"s to "won't"s and "is"s to "isn't"s. In fact, how do we know that you haven't? https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/246567-modern-americans-behave-as-if-intelligence-were-some-sort-of

    I've hidden all the Brex*t stuff. I don't want to have to do any more. So please don't post any.
