Just got into flatwounds and have been enjoying playing my bass again, writing songs & working out stevie wonder, motown stuff etc.

I've always been a big tone fan, creedence, r&b combo stuff and found this band called craddock. They're really good. Here in the U.K craddock means vulva not the gluteus maxus. Does anybody think that they knew this & are being ironic or is it a naive U.S expression of sexuality. I'm a fan but not in a creepy way.

So craddock? A band called craddock but not as explicit as meow meow riot per se. They can really play tho. If I started a band called willy that'd be funny so are they taking the fosters?

On a more serious note. Should I use compression on my flats live? I swapped my 4 x 10 for another 1x15 & I've got a stack of 2x15s with XL flats on my jazz bass & it sounds ace. It sounded like and felt like playing a wellington boot until I set it up and made a foam damper. Now I'm absolutely sold & even using a pick for extra thump.

"OOOhhh baby, I can make you come.....", and that was the first words from her mouth. (I'll go back to sitting quietly in the corner.)

Suzi Quatro was once a member of that band, iirc.

according to the font of all knowledge it was Suzi's  sister.

and from said font ,,the bass and lead were the Millington sisters ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,luckily Mary stayed at home !

I saw an interview with them a while ago... They said they were very surprised that British audiences knew them, and wondered why the audience would all chant "craddock!" as soon as they came on stage.

I don't think I could confidently identify exactly what has been swear-filtered in this thread and what hasn't!

There would be a whole heap of extra confusion for the band if audiences had actually shouted "Craddock", or perhaps the more conventionally trained musos might have chanted ""Waterman".

Which has cheered me up today, especially this line:

Great band. The drummer was a bit scary. The Slits did some mental stuff. Typical girls is brilliant. I like that female band in The killing of sister George film,the one at the Gateways Lesbian club.

Jean & June Millington, Nicky Barclay, can't remember the 4th.

Mother's Pride was an excellent album, In The Dream I Had Last Night a terrific song.

As they are American to us in the UK they would be called Bottom. 

Speak for yourself. Here in Scotland they would be called fudd. As in you are a right craddock!   It funny, some cool American nicknames are our slang. Slash? I wonder if he knows that that means a pee in Scotland ?

Well he was born in London and lived in Stoke in trent as a child, he's got British citizenship and half his family are British so I'd  say he does know. 

Not quite so cool though is it?  A kid called Slash in my school would have got the pish ripped right out of him! 😂

Some of the actual names children are given are probably worse anyway! 

Some of the ones in my house at secondary school were well non-pc; I dare not repeat them here!!
