Bob Dylan Stuck Inside a Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again

[quote name='Ktmman' timestamp='1397323107' post='2422855'] I am not saying its a bad deal , I am saying its misleading.. Its a bad deal if you think you are getting an EB Stingray [/quote] Yes, agree, it looks as if they are going out of their way to not say Sterling, and repeat Stingray and Music Man several times.

Funk: Chemist who coined the term vitamins, state of great fear or panic, a strong musty smell of sweat or tobacco. Hope that helps

Can't recommend the Carvin BX500 highly enough - £350 ish from Bass Gear for a US built hybrid amp.

My brother did it after doing a music degree at the age of 40. Got promoted quickly but hated the politics. Now a peripatetic teacher (brass) and much happier, although the first few months building the work up and waiting for the money to come in was a bit of a worry. Give it a go - I always thought he was the least suitable person I knew to become a teacher!!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1395777547' post='2406231'] Sorry, but which bit of Fender Custom Shop Jazz Bass 70s Guitar As the beginning of an electric base Although it is the born precision base, The design and specification which were completed are the present. It can be said that all the electric bases were affected. One of arrival of goods is one were manufactured at the first half of the 70s this time, The CBS head logo of the feature of the specification of the 70s, a natural ash body, Neck Shape of the thin figure of the nut width of B Shape, etc. It is characteristic specification. There is a statement of neck. It is easy to grasp a slender neck, and it is easy to flip it and it has become, Even if again had from JazzBass, sense of incongruity is seldom felt. It is easy to be an omission which consists of a 1P maple neck with a thin figure. In a large-boned base sound. ... are you not getting? [/quote] That bit

Another great week - glad to see the one I didn't vote for is currently the early leader as it was so close in my mind.

Guild, Hagstrom, Ovation, all a bit different and very much of their time.

Went to see Morrisey-Mullen at the Cricketers (Oval) in the early 80's - they weren't on, and me and my mate were the only ones in the pub except the DJ running through some stuff for the next weekend. He played a couple of tracks off This Time, first time we'd ever heard of him, and luckily, few weeks later we got standing room only tickets for a gig in Victoria - amazing musician.

Apologies if this has been posted before but this just popped up on my Facebook page. Great version, although not sure about the solo: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EPwRdVg5Ug"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EPwRdVg5Ug[/url]

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1395142752' post='2399059'] ... or you could just ignore the switches It's what I do on my GB74 [/quote] I only discovered the push pull pot after about a year of ownership

Had a Cort GB75 am absolutely loved it except for one very personal thing - way too many controls. I now have a passive 5 string P and am much happier, but the Cort was a great bass, excellent build quality, lovely neck (I even had the neck replicated for the build of the P). So if you are happy with playing around with a wide range of sounds (mid boost switch, push pull, blend, active bass & mid) then highly recommended.

Con Club, Lewes. Some gigs there are promoted by Union Music, an Americana music/record shop also in Lewes. Hope to see Burrito Bass' band Case Hardin there in May.

[quote name='Loulou' timestamp='1394667550' post='2393970'] Try the website leamingtonmusicscene for gigs in the kenilworth area. [/quote] Thanks LouLou, very lovely little town but very quiet from where I'm looking!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1394281743' post='2389828'] It's largely about what one's family listened to in the house... Harry Nilsson, Johnny Cash, Simon & Garfunkel, Beatles, Carpenters, various movie themes... and what one bought on vinyl as a kid at the time... TRex, Slade, Bowie, Alice Cooper... It worries me a little that today's families don't listen to music in the same way that mine did, i.e. as a communal thing, all together in one room. Now it seems to be a much more insular and remote experience, usually while staring at a screen of some type. Shame! [/quote] Great post Discreet. Frank Sinatra, Wally Whyton on Radio 2, Humphrey Lyttleton on the bandstand at Bishops Palace Park, Fulham, Long John Baldry on the bandstand in Hornimans Gardens, Forest Hill, then on to BB King on my own at the Capital Radio Jazz Festival at Alexandra Palace, Stravinsky and Haydn for O Level music and now the weirdest, most varied of taste in music

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1394113369' post='2388046'] [b]What Was Wrong With Your Streamliner?[/b] Having done a search or two in Amps and Cabs For Sale, I notice that a fair quantity of Genz Benz Streamliners (both 600 and 900) have been sold through the auspices of this parish. Yet some of the threads on here give the impression that the Streamliner is one of the more highly-rated and desirable of the 'mini' or 'lightweight' amps currently available (though becoming rarer since Fender's acquisition of GB, I believe). [size=4]So to those of you who moved on your Streamliners, my question is this: Why?[/size] I thank you! [/quote] Asks the man who had found nirvana with his Carvin gear (still love mine)

Next Week Bump!

[quote name='afterimage' timestamp='1393427098' post='2380150'] Hi everyone just sourced a yba 200 b stock and plan to use with two 2x10 tc electronics cabs , just nned to buy a speakon jack connector for any had any of these amps [/quote] No but always wanted one! Would love to know how you get on with it.

Aaagh, dilemma time again - do I vote for my favourite or for the one that is clearly the best composition.......

Bump, still got two nights to fill - surely some more of you want an extra audience member?!

Yes, cancel and raise a dispute - I wouldn't have twigged the Status is headless - not the only style they make. Sounds like a complete time waster.

Over an hour and a tenner per minute? Poor show!! Seriously, great work, great sounding track and video suits it well.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1393011282' post='2375335'] Yay, lets all meet up at The Adam and Eve on 15th! As long as they'll let an ageing old rock chick in. :-) [/quote] We're in danger of giving the band a bad reputation
