    So important to do the things you want to do together - I have the reverse situation, I am 67, other half is 55. She is going to get out this year, we have things to do I just describe myself as a 'man of leisure' although I have had plenty of work from when I made myself redundant and took early retirement.

    The shape has a suggestion of an upright bass, so I wonder whether there's an endpin included so it can be played vertically?

    I strongly consider covering Wolfpack with Syd Barrett, one of my absolute favorite songs, but is quite difficult to get right as it has a very free flowing structure. I ponder on playing along with bass to the original tune, of course only record my own bass, and then record the vocals after. Just 2 tracks, tenor bass, and vocals, which doesn't exactly make it any easier to do it justice. I am quite likely not to be one of the first to post my contribution, as is otherwise custom. I basically never did any serious covers before.

    For everyone moaning about who is on it, I dont think anyone could say Hook's style is distinctive. I grew up listening to New Order and loved them right up until I saw them support the Chili Peppers in Dublin in 2002. They were awful. Snidey and couldn't give a toss. I couldn't listen to them after that. Melissa Auf Der Maur has her autobiography coming out next year so her publicist got her on the show no doubt. I always liked her solo stuff and although she hasn't done much musically since then having not been invited back to the Smashing Pumpkins as they've hired Peter Hook's son, I'd still be intrigued to watch. As for Nate Mendel, with 3 guitars in the Foo Fighters, who cares what the bass does? Exactly, nobody. Plus, they haven't released decent material for quite some time. Ultimately, nobody is going to have their taste catered for by such a generic programme. Besides, quite a lot of the people who you might want to hear from on such a programme are long since dead sadly.

    I found very similar with a search for "i-pace" in the Electric Vehicles thread.

    I think it was Mark Twain who said something like "Ageing......a privilege denied to many" and it strikes a chord with me. After a couple of years illness I was fit enough to return to work by which time I'd asked myself "Why?". My wife is 11 years older than me so leaving retirement to 67 meant that she would be 78! We looked at our finances eg: what we spend and any savings (piggy bank and down the back of the sofa!) and decided it would be a good time for me to retire. There wont be any world cruises or Porsches in our future but we dont care. We'll be able to spend OUR time doing things WE want before any health or age issues restrict us. Everyday I appreciate that I'm doing something not everyone can and that if I NEED to go back to work in the future I will. I'm not sure whether to tell people "I'm retired" or "I'm on my gap decade" 🤔🤣

    And a spammer isn't going to give you any useful info either, especially one I just kicked out. For reference, anyone who resurects a year+ old topic, quotes a post and says 'thanks for the info', just expand the quote, you will find that they have put a load of links at the bottom that you dont' see as it is all collapsed.

    Whomever awarded that 2020 player of whatever award must have exactly the taste I have come to expect from such things. It's a horrific tone (he's playing a Chowny so no surprises there), but it's exactly the kind of burpy cod jazz crap that should have been burned after the 80's. Say "Behs" all you want Danny, it's still insipid 70's lift music from The Towering Inferno. To quote the great James Coburn: "Don't think that just because you and Colonel Brandt are more enlightened than most officers that I hate you any less. I hate all officers. All the Stranskys, all the Treibigs, all the Iron Cross scavengers in the whole German army." That's how I feel about Internet personas, influencers, youtubers who do clickbait titled videos and worst of all, those who pretend to care about who they're interviewing but get things so amazingly wrong that it shows they've just not done their research and can't be bothered. We live in an age where being great at self promotion and shouting about it is better than having any form of groundbreaking talent. Sapko and his ilk are just the symptom, not the cause.

    One tip is not to have bright lights pointing out at the audience from the stage. It makes you difficult to see. If you're going to have lights for the dance floor, have a good think about their location. If lights are to light up the band, they need to be at the front, as high up as possible, down onto the band. Side fills are ok, but they will put the band into silhouette if there's nothing from the front. You're not a disco, people want to be able to watch you.

    Reverb has decent protection for the buyer (I've never had cause to claim on it though) so it seems a bit odd that that this is being requested. Nothing to lose in doing a quick video though, just be wary of follow-up requests.

    Awesome analogy synth I was using for a project that's no more, so not getting used sadly. Perfect for someone looking for heavy bass synth but like me gets all flustered with menu's/programming etc. Great working condition.the wings have been upgraded with custom wooden ones (the original black ones are renowned for going sticky n tacky) Comes complete with box/instructions . Also a padded Cobra case. If collected I'll chuck in a basically new great quality Gorilla stand for it 👍. Ideally I'd prefer collection or meet but happy to post if buyer sorts out his own courier and cost. In a perfect world I'm looking for a trade on a guitar combo, 1x12 or 2x12 Not the best pics, I'll take some more in better light.

    Latest album from highly rated US singer-songwriter. Yours for just £8 posted UK. Now £6 Susan James is thrilled to announce the release of her latest album TIME IS NOW on July 12, 2024. Dive into a world of captivating melodies and artful lyrics that will leave you wanting more. The psychedelic chamber-pop opus not only showcases James' talent but also highlights her growth and commitment to musical authenticity. Engineered and produced by Susan, Time Is Now is a testament to her innovative approach and artistic evolution. With a discography that tells a story of experimentation and heartfelt creativity, Susan James continues to capture the hearts of fans and critics alike. Susan provides some insight stating “It all began as a powerful vision a year ago, an idea that blossomed into what I now offer as a soundtrack for healing our seemingly broken world. In these tumultuous and divisive times, we must acknowledge that love, empathy, and inclusivity are not just noble ideals, but are vital components of our collective resilience and progress as a species.. While there are forces that seek to keep us in a state of conflict and mere survival, I believe that by embracing love and all its facets, we unlock boundless potential and possibilities for a beautiful, unified global future." She goes on playfully, "So yes, it’s this tiny concept that inspired the album."
