  1. Past hour
  2. If you’re a fan of Pino Palladino’s work, you’ll appreciate his bassline on Paul Young’s cover of "Everytime You Go Away"
  3. Ooh I know that experience. Ramirez these are all such helpful comments. Room acoustics is tough, I have a small box room as my studio, no sound treatment, and ... hang on let me count: 2 double basses, 3 acoustic guitars, 6 hollow body basses, 3 solid basses and a Jaguar all hanging on the wall within a few feet of the mics. Not exactly ideal. 😁 Foam under all their strings is about the only damping. Sometimes I clip a quilt up against the door behind the mics
  4. One of those invisible mods
  5. A deluxe, limited edition 3-disc CD/blu-ray set of the superb new album from John Lees' Barclay James Harvest. Quite the return to form after nine years. Includes a blu-ray disc with the 5.1 surround sound mix of the album by Stephen W. Tayler. Also includes a bonus CD of a previously unreleased concert recorded in the USA in 2009, featuring the late Wooly Wolstenholme. Amazon price £27.69, this new sealed three disc set can be yours for £19 posted UK. NOW £17 NOW £15
  6. Reissue priced at £40.99, yours (new, sealed) for £25 posted UK. OMD’s 1985 album Crush, will be reissued for its 40th anniversary in October. The band’s sixth album features the singles ‘So In Love,’ and ‘Secret’, with the former reaching the top 30 of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The 2LP vinyl edition features seven unreleased tracks. Both formats include rare photos and comprehensive notes by journalist and author Jason Draper in conversation with Andy McCluskey. The 40th anniversary re-release of Crush has been a wonderful opportunity for us to re-assess the album. 1985 was a period of great intensity with constant touring and time pressure in the studio, but we created a powerful collection of songs and lyrical themes. In hindsight, we made a much better album than we knew at the time. Two hit singles ‘So in Love’ and ‘Secret’ remain live set constants to this day. ANDY MCCLUSKEY
  7. New and long awaited book on the legendary singer songwriter. RRP £19. New, unread copy £15, posted UK. Now £13 posted

  9. The morning after the night before gig - I should have taken the Three10 !!
  10. And another! Good man, Andy…
  11. I've bought mandolins, double bass and viola from Thomann. They sell some very good value instruments but my experience is that you need to budget for a decent setup. Good luck with the sale! I have a Thomann double bass and it's excellent.

  13. Perfect working order. Comes with original power supply and a USB lead. Only ever used at home, though has lots of surface scratches from storage - but it's never been abused! Price includes Royal Mail Special Delivery, which is insured, and next day by 1pm. Cheers
  14. I gave up all music for a long time between 96 and the mid 2000s, but came back to it afterwards a lot more full on. I don't gig for the momey, I have a job that pays fine, I do it for the enjoyment of doing it and i will continue all the time the enjoyment is higher than the hassle. I can see a point in the near future where that might be happening, but I think if I get to that point I may just quit my main group and do something different.
  15. … yeah, they are very similar so far. I think the Sub Phatty will probably be the one that goes out more as even though it’s in great condition, it’s not literally brand new. Least the keys are all straight on this one though 😁!
  16. Broughton make great stuff , and it’s a tiny owner/operator business.

  21. One of those 26 second shorts off YouTube. Joe Dart playing a D Minor groove that's is funky as, well, everything else Joe Dart does! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-beast-joe-dart/
  22. I thought there would be a clever explanation about allowing for the width of the sawcut 😁
