  1. Nailed it. The OP post re: Sweet Home Alabama & Does Your Mother Know missed the point completely. I don't get why people seem to look for issues when they aren't there....
  2. I went to a yacht rock/disco/west-coast gig by Joel Sarakula at Nells in West Kensington on Saturday night. Awesome!
  3. Sitting, stroking cat on my lap and laughing creepily to myself..... heh heh.....
  4. They're releasing a 9 string piccolo bass in a sick coloured mustard colour called the...... Poor Decision bass.....
  5. Rick Beato in conversation tonight at Bloomsbury Theatre, London...... then 'nu-Yacht Rock' artist Joel Sarakula on Saturday night at Nells in West Kensington.
  6. To be honest, Sweet Home Alabama is one of those songs where I seldom see a cover band bassist actually play it correctly. They usually play it far too straight, lacking the swing, pushes etc... I can't stand Mr Brightside, Sex On Fire or Oasis..... hate those tunes/bands. Overplayed nonsense for the chav brigade.... so it doesn't matter about the basslines as the songs themselves make me heave.
  7. A few of my fave solo albums basslines.... if anyone's interested From Paul's album: From Ace's album:
  8. We occasionally played: Wouldn't You Like To Know Me, Tonight You Belong To Me, Move On or Goodbye from Paul's solo NY Groove, Rip It Up, Speeding Back To My Baby or Snowblind from Ace's solo Tossin & Turnin (VERY occasionally) from Peter's solo and Radioactive from Gene's solo.
  9. Paul's solo album is a Top 10 album ever (by anyone) for me!
  10. Impossible to choose. Far too many great songs..... I can't pick a fave!
  11. He's supporting Billy Joel at Hyde Park. Hopefully Todd Rundgren (support on his solo show) will be on the bill too. I'm working that show so would be great to tick a few off my bucket list in one go!
  12. Hoping this isn't a metaphor like clown's pocket or wizard's sleeve..... 🤣😂
  13. This is a first tour. Hoping to visit many other places in the future
  14. *cough* ......glass table..... Una Stubbs..... allegedly..... 🙄🤣😂
  15. I'm heading out on a 19 date tour of UK theatres shortly with my theatre band 'Leather & Lace', under the banner of 'The Bootleg Rock Show' which means with extra 'production' (big screens, lasers, pyro etc)! Can't wait It's all through May and into June. Would be great to see any of you who fancy attending! https://www.leatherandlaceshow.com/ Gig list and ticket links
  16. It should be an EMG BTS circuit inside, so you have passive pickups with an active circuit. Upgrading the pickups to full active EMGs is something I tend to do, but if you're happy with the Hz pickups why bother, as you say?! It's worth flicking the two tiny mini switches on the BTS into each combination of 'off' and 'on' to see which sound you prefer. I, and many others, like having both switches 'on' for a more biting Spector tone, but playing dub/reggae etc you may find a different combination preferable. Enjoy experimenting!
  17. Yeah, but Saville's songs were shyte.....
  18. Jazz and MPV. shows verstality while remaining unpretentious. Chatting can reveal you have a fretless.... and the opportunities it opens up...

  21. I've seen numerous covers and function bands continue to play MJ songs and never an eyelid is batted. Some of the big MJ tributes are still touring theatres as well. If you enjoy the music and can separate it from allegations (proven or otherwise) then great. If not, you have the right to feel offended, whether anyone else cares or not.
