What's That Smells Like Fish? — Blind Boy Fuller

I have one now!! Not found the hp filter to make a heck of a difference tbh. Yet to try it "on stage";

Are you saying that it’s not done out of boundless generosity and a spirit of helping the great unwashed in difficult times? 🤷

Yes, I thought he was very analytical, along with Glenn Matlock who was citing his Jamerson influence in Anarchy in the UK. -

The review says it all: comprehensive, US published and hard to find. Price is UK posted, unread condition. Now £16. EVEN LOWER! £14 posted. Times And Seasons - The Rise and Fall and Rise of the Zombies Robin Platts HoZac Books, $31.99 356 pages Classic British pop, expertly chronicled Few books on the Zombies exist, but theirs is a story worth telling. And it's predictable that, given their Stateside star status, this quintessentially English quintet of She's Not There and Tell He No fame should be chronicled on an American imprint. The band only hung up its touring shoes last year after leader/keyboardist Rod Argent's stroke, but the work he and singer Colin Blunstone created after their reunion in 2001 - the years since 1968 being silent, in a Zombies sense - are also covered in detail by author Platts. The band always had a youthful camaraderie, having come together at high school, and that comes over faithfully in this account of their heyday - plus a long tail that details their subsequent musical careers. While Blunstone went solo and Argent created an eponymous prog band (of God Gave Rock And Roll To You fame), guitarist Paul Atkinson went behind the scenes and signed Abba to CBS - a feather in anyone's cap. Detail is forensic without being stifling. If the layout is a trifle fanzine-y, the integration of illustrative material like press cuttings and photos with the text helps make this an easy read. And the urge to play the music, always the sign of a good book, is irresistible.

I was wondering if anyone has experience of either of these two 5 string jazz basses.. I have played neither but I'm looking at purchasing a £1000 or sub £1000 5 string jazz bass. I'm aware the Lakland would be a used buy and the Sadowsky would be a new purchase. How are the new Sadowsky Metro Express's in regards to the neck shape, construction, pre amp etc compared to the Lakland?? ( I'm aware the Lakland is Passive). In general what are your thoughts on either.? Or any other five string Jazz basses I should consider around this price range.? I'm considering Bacchus also but that would be an import.. Thankyou for any info..

A guitar playing colleague at work has mentioned the Roconteurs for sometime now. I finally got round to listening to Guy and Gary interview Mani. It was recorded very recently and is a great listen.

Second time at a small local place last Wednesday. Bass rig is a Warwick Gnome through an Orange 1x12 (I think). Sounds fine, I don’t run it very loud but the Gnome gets a little warm. Fine for civilised practice.

Jealous. It's all TC Electronic around here. Sounds great and all, just isn't very exciting.

That was a great little album, Chris. I used to have it but I don't know where it is now.
