Pino Palladino Signature Stingray
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to TransistorBassMan's topic in Bass Guitars
I'd like to try one. I'd be interested to see what the asymmetric neck feels like. Bit of a cheek not supplying a hard case for that price. -
Bowie - Brilliant Live Adventures
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
Pre-ordered. Vinyl ain't my bag, so went with the CD set. £111 on Amazon. -
Bowie - Brilliant Live Adventures
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
Popped up on my FB feed this morning. I’ll be front and centre for this. One of the very few artists that I’ll blind buy for. -
I've only seen bits on You Tube, but it's a good set. It will be interesting to see what changes (if any) take place over the dates of the tour.

Frank Zappa - Cheaper than Cheap
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to mike f's topic in General Discussion
I'd pre-ordered and received it on physical media before this was announced 🤷♂️. Bit of an unusual move for the ZFT, but I would have bought it anyway. -
Living Colour tiny desk concert
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to toneknob's topic in General Discussion
They are all just freakishly good. I saw them live fairly recently and was not disappointed. I played that first album to death when it was released. Still have the vinyl today. -

Really enjoyed that. -
Band members in other bands
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
That stance does not fly in my part of the world. I'd go as far as to say being in one band and one band only is not the norm at all. -
Band members in other bands
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to Mickeyboro's topic in General Discussion
Are these other projects more interesting/lucrative though? If so, I struggle to see why they turn up at the one that apparently isn't? Some people are just bone idle and there's no motivating them. I manage that by not being in the same room with them. If you can see my sig, you'll see that I'm in four bands and dep in two others. Most of the people I work with are the same. The one thing they all have in common is they love playing the music. Without that, you're on the back foot from the start. As @Lozz196 said, dedication + application and turn up with your game face on every time. -

A £53 off target type bump. -

Amazing work everyone. Over 70% to target. Keep it going. -
Well, that’s just fabulous isn’t it. Never heard of them before, but I will be hearing a lot more. Knew I recognised that electric guitar from somewhere. Robert Fripp. Thanks Wikipedia.

Just chipped in. Wishing you all the best @lee650. -
I like that song too. I may well suggest that. Cool idea. Thanks 👍

They didn’t take much learning, but the two new ones in the set for one of the bands I’m in are Red Light Spells Danger and You Should Be Dancing. Sounds pretty boring, but the band are a ten piece with brass and percussion and they both sound flippin’ ace. Gigging them tomorrow.

Hang on, the band at the outset was you and the drummer? I would be having a significantly memorable conversation with the twit. -
I'll be 60 next year, so I guess I almost qualify for this. What keeps me in the game is the guys I play with. Consummate professionals each and every one. I cannot think of one bad word word to say about any of them. They give everything at each and every gig. They are the first to criticise themselves and applaud the effort of others. I really can't ask for more than that. I know the bubble will burst one day when someone hangs up their spurs, but for now, I'm the happiest guy.

A guitarist friend of mine is learning all the parts for Pornograffitti and I almost broke this bad boy out and hightailed it over to his. Ultimately, we wouldn't get a gig doing it, so it stayed in its case. It would have been the perfect sound for the project tho. Still mintier than mint and I'll get it to you if I can!

I just have to listen to the original theme and it's like going back in time. Troughton and Pertwee were my Doctor's. I had the good fortune to meet Jon and he was just the nicest guy. There was something calming about listening to the way he spoke. Absolutely captivating.

Our EVRI driver is amazing. We usually cross paths with her when we’re out walking the dog in the morning. She will always wave us down and let us know whether she has anything for us and if she has, roughly what time she will make it to our house. A truly lovely human being.

There’s a Spector at a certain UK dealers that I’m hoping someone will buy so I can’t/don’t. I would say only harder to sell in so much as you have to exclude 4 string only players as potential customers.
