Great singer too... better than the original!

Agreed it's great!

You'll struggle to match the tone but you'll get reasonably near. You have PJ pickups so you're part way there. A little drive and just a hint of chorus. Both pickups on full and boost the mids a bit. Something like a Sansamp will get you the right sort of over drive to emulate Mike's Ampeg SVT amp. Mike Starr played a Spector bass and they have a really distinctive tone with quite a growl to it. Spector make a budget range which you can find for around £300 used and they're not all that far off. They're not as punchy or big sounding but not bad.

Maybe that is his pjs?

Sounds fantastic, as does the whole band! Thanks for sharing! I wish audiences could all have the same energy as the chap in the white suit! Absolutely great to see, he’s just having the best time!

Welcome!

In my mind, Mr Collins lives his days fully lost in funkadelia at Mothership Mews, Rubberband Land, and his whole house is decorated like it! 💫

This is our take on the 'chopped strands' finish originally offered by Geoff Gould on the Alembic necks. What do you think? chopped strands finish - unpainted.mp4

Interesting article on Sky News "Robots listening to robots': How AI music fraudsters are spamming sites and taking cash from real musicians" https://share.google/1KocfxqaVx7QUGx7N Other concerns aside I knew these platforms were being flooded with AI content but the sheer scale of it, apparently 60,000 tracks a day just on Deezer and rapidly snowballing, is an eye opener.

9kg is not your usual 112. It should dangle ok. The dangle might help the near side clear your knee just a little as you handbag it. Easier to 'put' up on a shelf or into a small car boot with the handle like it is.

Do you think he gets out of bed in the mornings looking like that? Asking for a friend.

I saw Big Country a few times. Just before The Crossing was released, me and a mate flew to Jersey to see them. He worked for an airfreight business, they had an office in St Helier and he got someone to procure tickets; both of us had family working at BA, so we got cheap flights out. We had nowhere to stay and travelled in shorts and t-shirts. Found a room in Pontac. Gig day we thumbed a lift to St Helier (in a Lords Taverners minibus!), found the venue (Fort Regent Centre) and just holed up in a bar there. We saw the load-in and then Stuart and Bruce came in. This was mid-afternoon. Drink was drunk. They're stunned that anyone would want to fly somewhere to see them. We were invited in for the soundcheck...it was just me and my mate and a couple of crew (private gig!), more drink (Stuart gave us fresh t-shirts), then the gig. It was a great gig. Next morning we were on standby flights, so we're at the airport at 7.00am, same clothes. Band come in, see us, Stuart cheers (I remember him putting his arms up like he'd scored a goal), he tells me proudly that he's bought a wristwatch for £2.99 (this memory has stuck with me, him just going, '£2.99!'.). It's noticeable that despite the hour, he's not holding back in the spirits. Cleared to fly, we're on the same flight...Stuart is cheering when he sees us boarding. He's in the row behind us. Amazingly, Kenny Dalgliesh us sitting in the row in front of us. Over the years, we run into Stuart a few times and he always made some remark about the Jersey blokes. I genuinely miss him, it was a tragic, terrible, lonely and pointless death. I often wonder what could have been, but at least his legacy us pretty much intact.

if I wanted high end sizzle Ashdown is not he go IMO I totally don't which is why I have used Ashdown since 1998
