Must be strange acoustics or harmonics or summat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing but I guess she will have orders of magnitude more followers and views than people who could actually play something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the purposes of this topic, it matters very little, and I didn't take the trouble of remembering 'em. No ladies in there, though. There could have been, but just weren't.

SH73 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sorry for bragging but do they play fretless or fretted, flat or round. I wondered if Steve Harris is in top 10 @Dad3353 , hence the question 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That same source has (I didn't count...) dozens and dozens of lists of all sorts, if you've a fortnight or so to spare, without eating.

Rich Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 "So could we ask that members refrain from posting topics on anything to do with politics, sexism or religion?" Right. The other day I was out delivering UKIP leaflets when I saw a woman vicar on a bike, and she had a fabulous set of knockers.

Like Kinga Głyk? She's a proper touring musician, that usually plays jazz💤 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
