  1. Kotzen's singing career started at about the same time as Cornell's. Similarities are purely coincidental.
  2. They never, ever play the little call and response phrase in All Right Now: "She said love, lord above" derr-err.
  3. Totally subjective anyway. Even if a clear difference in sound could be detected, who decides which is the "better" sound?
  4. Peter Frampton Eric Clapton
  5. The ideas that you have to "Stick to what you believe in" and "Follow your heart", so often imparted by our musical heroes, are total cobblers. On the planet Earth with eight billion other people, it is just possible that you could discover previously unconsidered passions and skills in other areas. It's fine to wonder "What if?" It would be very strange if we didn't.
  6. The actual strap button split in half. Worth examining on your basses to look for evidence of wear ( a groove around the button).
  7. I don't think REO ever covered Stairway. Are you thinking of The Far Corporation?
  8. The studio recording of Crosstown traffic features Hendrix playing a comb and paper to emulate the sound of a kazoo, doubling the guitar melody.
  9. I also take a stand for my cabinet, it's built to look like a 4x10 cab (engineers have even asked where I want it mic'ed), folds down flat when not in use and has built in flashing LEDs.
  10. Kazoo, incase we do Crosstown Traffic.
  11. As I've mentioned previously on this topic; when using Schallers as intended, you have metal against metal. Although I know some have used them for many years with no problem, I have had a strap button sheer off as a result of this friction. I now keep the strap locks loose, attach the strap to the bass, then clip the strap locks on. Thus, the weight of the bass is on the leather of the strap and the strap locks still keep it on.
  12. All 12 notes apart from the two I mentioned are covered by a marker somewhere on the neck.
  13. 12th fret makes sense, but why 3, 5, 7, 9? Why not 2,4,6,8,10? Who decided and why? Another observation: Eb/D# and Ab/G# are the only notes not marked by dots on a 4 string bass.
  14. I'm sure it was much appreciated by the wedding party and was the talk of the breakfast table the following morning.
  15. Left or right doesn't matter, but the bass player must always stand at the back and never venture more than a foot away from his/her amp.
  16. Depending on how much fancy foot work is required in your set, is it possible to keep the pedalboard next to the amp?
  17. Doug Pinnick Summerland Geddy Red Barchetta Jack Blades Passion Play Lynott Massacre Jack Bruce Those Were the Days
  18. His earlier stuff is very unique, proggy and arrangement heavy. Very far from the likes of the awful "Poison" etc. Dennis Dunaway's bass playing is fantastic too.
  19. Do you think someone decided to film him having previously heard of his antics, or do you think he asked his girlfriend to do it?
  20. Dirty Linen - Fairport Convention
  21. The Spandex and monitor foot rest would be fun, but it's not quite the same without a 30ft tall monster emerging behind you.
  22. I am a mammal on a lump of rock.
  23. Are you sure it was the lack of audience which was the deciding factor, rather than the piss-soaked mascara?
  24. [quote name='Mike Brooks' timestamp='1387139072' post='2308635'] It was 6th February 1997. Mike [/quote] You are a star and as much of an anorak as me! Thank you.
