Hi - I'm trying to find some a 'light' 5-string pack to go through the body on a Sire MM M7. So far I've only found the EXL220-5 from D'addario - has anyone any help or advice on others that may be available? Thanks so much. Peter

The Behringer app won't install on the most recent Android (15), as I discovered after I bought a new tablet largely for it. There is a new app called MX-Mix but it seems to be an alpha or beta version.

That's the ancient dinosaur rocker? Dino Rod?

Neil Innes: "I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn."

should have bought Ronnie Wood on to play bass on Maggie May, it's a great bass line on the recording

The description: "Increase the speed of your favorite Precision Bass with the P to J Conversion neck." Surely the terminal velocity of a Precision will be almost exactly the same when dropped off the official Relicing Building, regardless of whether a P or a J neck is fitted.

Shut Up - Madness

Oddly I thought the crowd noises were subdued this year , almost as if they were deliberately being dubbed out , mic’d down, EQ’d to a murmur or just plain ignored. i noticed it on most shows . loved Radcliffe and Maconey this morning playing highlights and naming the stages 😂

Yesterday morning got a phone call asking if I could dep that evening as their regular bassist had got sunstroke, so I said yes. Got there and found that the drummer was also a dep. Very hot day but we were all prepared with a fan apiece - ironically the drummer's fan was the smallest (the tiny little black thing tucked under his hi-hat). The stage (a real stage!) was next to open doors just by me, so it was bearable. The thugball was on on two large tellies but we carried on anyway to a smallish but appreciative crowd. A slight hiatus when after the break I plugged my wireless dongles back in and was rewarded with silence. I switched bass but that didn't help, I swapped the wireless out for my spare wireless dongles and continued. When I got home, I checked the wireless and it was fine. My conclusion was that I'd managed to swap them over and plug the receiver into the bass. Note to self - look at the big Dyno labels on the dongles saying "Tx" and "Rx". Basses used were Sei Flamboyant 5 fretted and Sei Original 5 fretless, through Lekato WS-90 and then WS-50 wireless dongles and Zoom MS-60B to a Tecamp Puma 900 and GR Bass AT212, and footwear was once more the Caravelle memory foam trainers.

Don’t Speak - No Doubt

Strangely they watched the music as if bludgeoned into silence, but there was a roar of appreciation and hand waving at the end of each song.

All those poor kids not realising they are being cunningly subverted into hearing proper music.

The other day I parked up on the street to find the postie leaving a parcel behind my side gate. I said sorry I wasn’t at home earlier but someone had parked a red van in front of my drive 😁

The Prodigy were freaking awesome. Did a quick text round of the lads and the guitarist was oggling Olivia Rodrigo prancing around in her basque rather than watching the rawking on the Other Stage. Their light show was nearly as good as the set I bought from Thomann! Franz Ferdinand were great. Scissor Sisters were absolutely fabulous - what a show! Snow Patrol were... um, Snow Patrol. I'm currently catching up on Gary Numan and really enjoying it. But not as much as watching the crowd that doesn't seem to get him and are wondering why he hasn't done Are Friends Electric? yet. He's got a great rock goth vibe going on with his band I have loads of stuff to catch up on. Ezra Collective are top of the list. My lad was watching them earlier and they sounded really good.

What'd I Say - Ray Charles

Repeat - Manic Street Preachers

I saw about 3 minutes of Rod Stewarts set. The pyramid stage, really? Was everyone else busy this year?!

the lead guitarist played at a reasonable volume ?

Congrats on the new bass! I loved my classic pro and it's the only bass I regret selling. Those pups are just the epitome of a Gibson bass tone - mean and massive with a dark growl that'll put hair on your ball sack. Love em. That purple vintage pro is gorgeous too, what a fine flock you have there!
