Where in the chain, at the end after any Amp/Cab Sim?

You and I clearly had the same post Wimbledon on TV experience.

Definitely better than The Wheel.

That is quite the back catalogue!

I think that's true of all great bands of that era. At least the ones who didn't die in excess. Social media is largely responsible for taking away the mistique of many bands, actors and celebrities. Much of the time not for the better.

That's a bit of a bargain. I though I got a bargain recently with a Mex Fender replacement neck from amazon at over five times this price. If only the Sire headstock wasn't such a munter.

This album along with We Want Miles was my introduction to Marcus Miller. Still his best era, in my opinion.

I have used the HPF on the B 1 Four for many years. One patch set at 40hz and a second set at 30hz. All my patches included a HPF.

I love his solo on this classic. It's so very melodic. Then he sets it up..

A simple one this evening, for new readers. This is the Ugonna Okegwo bass part for the tune 'You Don't Know What Love Is' from the 1994 Leon Parker album, 'Above And Below'. It is a simple part that mostly repeats the same phrase rhythmically throughout but changes in line with the root notes of the chords of the tune. A simple exercise in note recognition. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/you-dont-know-what-love-is-leon-parker/

@Bigwan and anyone with a Roger Glover sig (with the binding) - is there a forearm cutaway or is the top flat?

Can anyone advise? Tc plethora x5.... When using the sub n up effect and holding down the 'mash' mode, is there a way to manually adjust the amount of octave? Or is it a case of plugging it into the editor on a PC? Thanks, Andrew

Oh no it isn't.

To me the most extraordinary thing about all this is how Black Sabbath have become part of the mainstream. I literally grew up listening to Sabbath. I remember when I was a child my friends older brothers having Black Sabbath albums and me being fascinated by the artwork, even if I couldn't really understand the music at such a young age. By the time Never Say Die came out I was into it, though. Sabbath were my favourite band. Back in those day, Sabbath were an enigma. You hardly ever saw them on television or heard them on the radio. You certainly didn't know much about the individual personalities or their lives. They had a mystique to them. Nowadays they are celebrated as a national institution. They played at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. They appear on breakfast TV. We all know what Ozzy's kitchen looks like. They've become another media-led commodity. It's all a bit weird to me, and something I never dreamt I would see in my lifetime. The real Black Sabbath disappeared into history in a puff of white powder many years ago. They belong in another era, when they were untamed and a bit dangerous. What you are seeing today is a pantomime based on a true story, performed by geriatrics.
