Eh, I just put it down as today, I do an end of month report each month, I'm not going back and editing January, I'm doing this for free!

I should probably add that I ordered my first set of pickups on Jan 5th !

With the way that the voting is carried out (nil points handed out to whoever we don’t like, irrespective of whether their song is any good) I can’t see this happening, but strange things can happen.

Pickups are gear, so yes, you're out. Thank you for your participation, feel free to stick around to judge others!

I’m interested in any folk using the Ampeg Venture V7 if it’s a loud amp or as reported online by some it felt under powered ? I know you have to crank the master volume a bit more on them I’m told but do they appear loud enough ? I have an Orange LBT 500w which is very loud so I’m hoping the V7 is as loud or louder ?

Thanks, I spilled my coffee from laughter. He has a wife, you know.

Almost certainly Yes. The default (detente) position is at 12 o'clock which is "mild" pitch correction ... only someone with acute hearing will spot that it's even happening. I tend to keep mine set at 1 o'clock which is - obvs - a bit more aggressive, but then I'm using it in front of a harmoniser pedal. If you can find your way to Harrow, you're welcome to come and try out my selection.

Eyes Without A Face - Billy Idol

I think I might be out: Toltec pickups bought for both my AM Standard Jazz and Vintera Jazz Custom vintage TRC and PG bought for the Ric 4003 I've zero plans to buy any more basses for the foreseeable..

snowblind - black sabbath

Dont Bogart that Joint. Little Feat

Sydney is a s---hole. I avoid it at all costs. Only place worse is Canberra.

The song was originally recorded by Betsy Cook. Paul Young's version became notable for Palladino's creative bass work. https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=1130

Is it an old one?

Excellent album! Thank you

Well. Hopefully he’ll do something a bit more notable than recent entries…although I had a soft spot for Sam Ryder’s 2nd place song Spaceman in 2022/3 (can’t remember the year)

I'm one

Me too! Until April last year I'd been in a blues rock trio playing that exact stuff, plus Hendrix, Jeff Healey and a few fun obscurities (check out Lonnie Mack's later output), for the previous 5 years. The music I grew up listening to and the most enjoyable band I've ever played with. The guitarist pulled the plug for reasons the drummer and I have not got to the bottom of. Probably spoilt me for doing anything else - I'm 68 now and unlikely to find another band I would enjoy that much. Then again, I don't miss the late nights.

Brilliant. Carole Kaye did the same thing and ... I mean ... between the two of them, they played on quite a lot of records so they did know what they were doing.
