Spinal Tad (Very small band in proportion to an 18" Stonehenge).

Not at all... photoflame doesn't change when you move the bass in the light. It's not AAAAA on the Harley but definitely real flamed maple.

So @andyhaines, did you receive your GR Bass One 350 yet?

Thank you, I’ll get some and give it a go.

Spital Tap.

Spinal Tab.

I had tickets to that Nik and Go West thing but ended up not going as I was feeling a bit lazy and stayed at home (dreadful behaviour I know)

Spinal Tan (I'll leave a few)

Done. However your left handed, right handed, ambidextrous question requires an option for those of use who do some things left handed and other things right hand, but can't do the left handed things right handed or vice-versa.

Spinal Fap

Spinal Nap (this is a goldmine).

Spinal Cap

Mesa has a custom shop, does it not? Might it be worth having a word with them as an interested party? Personally, I just love the idea of a complete, downsized version of my late-90s/early-2000s rig that’d be a bit easier on my pentagenarian back! And Ampeg have made a mint out of downsized SVTs for years… just saying.

Dunno. How 'bout Spinal Rap?

Topically, have we had Spinal Tat yet?

Classic. Get this for the fretboard; https://www.montysguitars.com/products/montys-montypresso-relic-wax

I have to say that the 18-34 year old demographic is in a very precarious situation. If anyone needs to wake up and smell the coffee it’s that demographic. Modern day techno serfdom is tantalisingly close. The idea that corporate culture pays anything other than lip service to their values is also faintly ridiculous to me. The moment that the tide changes so will corporate culture.

I see Nik Kershaw whenever he is nearby, not too often these days, sadly. He is an immense talent. Saw him do a solo acoustic gig at Union Chapel which was a huge amount of fun. He started to introduce 'The One and Only' and thanked Chesney for earning him so much money, adding 'Mind you, Chesney is a bit of a w@nker' only to be joined on stage by him a second later. Very funny. Then they played it, fantastic. As an aside, Nik Kershaw did a tour with Go West a few years ago. Go West would play some tunes, then Nik, then both together - all with the Go West band (who are fab). They all seemed to be having an absolute blast of a time. There was a bit where they played one of the others' songs but in their own style. Nik played 'Missing Persons' and his arrangement was just stunning. It remains one of the best gigs I have ever seen.

Doesn't matter. That's not what our corporate policy is. I'm 57 and I remember when arguments like this were mainstream and considered perfectly reasonable. They aren't anymore, at least by the all important 18-34 demographic. You can care or not care, but it is what it is. If I, as a resident of Chelsea, made fun of the people in a slum, that's punching down no matter how they may outclass me personally. If they made fun of me, then it's punching up and is acceptable to society. Maybe it won't be someday, but it is now and is certainly how we view these things at work.
