A couple of months is one thing. Entwistle's replacement was in place within 4 days. He died on the 27th June, and the tour started on the 1st July. Whatever, I'm not trying to tell anyone whether or not they can do anything. It's just my opinion, which as we know are like farts. Everyone thinks their own are great, but that everyone else's stinks.

Something About You - Level 42

I agree 100%. I remember when Ox died, and the 'Oo announced their intention to carry on with the tour they were on... I felt this to be the wrong decision, and pretty disrespectful to boot, and said so on another music forum (I forget which one). I received a furious response from one American gentleman who said that I was callous to think that way, because if the tour was cancelled it would cost the insurers, merchandise people and hotdog sellers money. For me, that response pretty much summed up everything that's wrong with the music business.

Likewise. For me it was time/distance/£££ that kept me away rather than covid concerns. If it had been the Midlands, I'd have probably gone along. Although judging by reports and pics, I'd have been very disappointed. Looks like a bit of a shambles.

You did ok there then..! Looks like it might be a nice investment piece.

Naked In The Rain - Blue Pearl

Is there much to be gained from retaining the tone pot and effectively using the varitone circuit in place of the usual 47/50nF tone capacitor? Also I've read in a few places that the inductor (as used on the original Gibbo circuit) is of no/minimal benefit if used with bass, is this the case?

Is it any good for metal?

Oh yes, I remember you recounting that tale. That was quite an instrument.

I'm really really tempted by the Hardly Bent Powerplant Powerbank, the lightweight rechargeable thingy. It'd fit beautifully on my board and would supply all the power I need and more. @roceci seemed to be very pleased with it in this thread, is it still going strong 3 years down the line?

I recall reading a Neil Peart interview many years ago in which he said that Phil Gould was one of his favourite drummers.
