‘It’s rubbish!’ Is something many of us have said when we were kids etc . As we get older and progressively wiser, ‘it’s rubbish ‘ then manifests into ‘I hate it !’,but if you take the time to find out more about the artist/ comedian / tv show etc then you can be more justified in giving reasons why you dislike or absolutely hate something . At least you have a reason to have a sensible discussion with someone rather than be seen to be ignorant . It’s easy to pick on bands such as Coldplay and nickleback etc as they have been hugely successful and been on ou screens a lot initially . Anyway fwiw , ‘I hate ‘ U2 and Bono in particular! No, sorry Just Bono as after paying a huge amount to see them on the vertigo tour after a few songs he turned the gig into a give me money for the starving charity event ! Why didn’t someone assassinate him there and then ?? But he is talented. Van Morrison , the father jack of music ! Hugely talented but I can’t stand his music . ‘It’s rubbish !’ The Fall ! I saw some long programme about them on channel 4 I think it was many moons ago . Yes, that was rubbish ! Over an hour of my life wasted. Mark E smith . Come across as a stumbling aggressive drunk with issues. ‘It’s rubbish and how did they become famous ?’…Mrs. Browns Boys obviously. James Corden , a vacuous annoying tub of lard ! Miranda Hart ! Russell Brand 🤮 Keith lemon 🤮 ‘It’s rubbish and I hate this song ‘ White Rabbit ! Pass me the razor blades , I’m so depressed ! Imagine John Lennon ! Thankfully he can’t write anything as bad as that anymore. As for Wetherspoon the coffee is okay . The ducks around here prefer to steal bags of crisps from Greggs , which may explain something 🦆

Different tuners and truss rod cover though

I don’t know much about dean, but is this the same https://ebay.us/m/RBDJqC

Why has my MXR M87 bass compressor suddenly stopped registering my MusicMan stingray bass? The meter is completely dead but there’s s sound, whereas another passive bass - a Jack Casady - works fine and the meter lights up like a Christmas tree? I’ve tried the Stingray with a completely fresh battery but it doesn’t make a difference.

The stumbling block is more the 200€ for something I don't really *need* than whether it has an app for it. Tone Lab is a great little tool though.

I think Leicester miles are different from other miles too. Satnavs do silly things like calculate distance / speed to give you ETA on routes. But those rules don’t apply in Leicester. Five miles could take you 10 mins or two hours.

Smelly Tongues — The Residents

Stunk on you - Lionel Bitchie

I volunteer for a local charity shop, I PAT and repair the electrical items and sort out any musical instruments that get donated, and we had this come in recently. The truss rod cover say Edge and it looks right, but none of the examples I can find on the web quite match up. Either the headsock logo is different, or they are single PU models or active. This one is passive. I've looked at a couple of Dean serial number reference sites but nothing comes out for this one. The reason I'm trying so hard to get a difinitve model is so I can price it. Prices for Dean's vary so much and as it's to raise money for the charity it needs to be priced right. Any advice is much welcomed. Just to confirm, this is NOT for sale here. It will be sold by the charity either out of the charity shop or on their eBay site.

Geek Stink Breath - Green Day

Breathe. You'll work it out. They're excellent basses. My tastes are so broad with colours, finishes, neck carves, etc that if my #1 priority was low price, colour wouldn't matter. It's not like any of the colours of the Space basses are horrible. I'd be happy with any of them.

Garlic Bread — Gary & Larry

Thanks. Glad you read the credits too. I’m both Hardliegh Worthit & Cardigan Fitzbadley. As well as Hue Manfactors of course. The rest of The Roster made their own pseudonyms. All fine players.

This was the thread about the rehearsal room Ashdown that also surprised me

Our Saturday holiday gig was cancelled. So, no gigs this weekend. I guess the venue doubled booked. I'll never understand how that happens. Daryl

I am in the process of making all my bass collection headless only . I have been mulling over whether to get a 5 string ( mainly due to the low b) . I was thinking about getting something more expensive next year , but as I’m just messing around at home it’s probably a bit overkill to do so. This brings me to the topic above . I noticed that for some reason, the black version of the space 5 is cheaper than the green one and I haven’t a clue why that is . Not only that , the average price seems to be around the £ 749 mark . The prices are from Bassdirect ,and gear4music among others. A couple of days ago , the green one was going for £649 on Gear4music and I should’ve snapped it up ! But tomorrow is Black Friday 😮‍💨! This evening on the G4M website , the black one is £658 ( the cheapest I’ve seen so far) while the green one is £749 . I just sent a message to G4M asking why the black one is cheaper. I’m not sure what to expect , but I’m a big fan of theirs . If they let me have the green one for £658 then I’ll take it! If it’s £675 I’ll probably do so . I guess that hey are popular,and I’ll probably not get a better deal than that at this present time . Your thoughts??

We use Berkley in Glasgow and it`s usually an EBS head and Ampeg 8 x 10 and to be honest most of them sound crap. They used to have ABM heads but they never seem to be in the room we are using. But there is 13 or 14 rooms so maybe they are in there somewhere...

I'm going to see Morrissey perform tonight in Nuneaton, just popping into Wetherspoons for a bite to eat first.
