The Bombay Bicycle Clubs bikes all have no seats - none of them can sit down after eating them spicy potatoes all the time

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1416145633' post='2607295'] Got one of these winging its way to me, Ill weigh it when it arrives. [/quote] ok, im a bit of a slacker lol weighed it today and it came in at 7.9kg or 17.41 lbs. its fairly weighty, you feel it after a while. Im actually toying with the idea of taking the scratchplate off and routing some material away underneath it just to make it a bit lighter, how do you think that would affect the tone? Its actually a really nice bass, im well chuffed with it, and I reckon it looks the absolute dogs ball-locks, but then ive never really been a 'label' kind of a guy. Goes well with my George Atasda clothes

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1420659469' post='2651895'] Yep... I'm definitely getting old... [/quote] is it me , or has the bassist in that pic got his bass the wrong way round? i.e. hes fingering the back of the neck? (ooer)

Depends if we are using IEMS or not. Last singer insisted on a silent stage so away went my amp and I played blind for god knows how many gigs, then we got IEMS but for some reason the bass input into the controller bit always had a much lower input than the other instruments/mics, so I bought a little pre-amp/DI pedal to solve that issue. If I want to change the tone I use the knobs on me bass or the attack from my fingers - old school

'The Mind Boggles' was the working title for a collaboration between Buggles (of Video Killed The Radio Star Fame) Nick Beggs of kajagoogoo fame, Jake Bugg of no fame in particular, Notorious BIG and the members of Pigbag (of Papas got a Brand new pigbag infamy) Thankfully, no one gave a t*ss tho so the project was scrapped. Quite right too

This thread had an aim? the mind boggles

Suzanne Vega's name isn't Luka, and she lives not on the second floor but the one below that.

Slacktones tone is actually fairly tight.

I wonder if Mrs Badsign has posted on a shoes forum something like, "Ive got £700 squirrelled away for new Jimmy Choos, do you think I should give half to the old man to buy a bit of wood with some metal bits on it?"

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1420331704' post='2648260'] No members of Ugly Kid Joe were called Joe. The band were christened their moniker after the lead singer bought a pet baby kangaroo. [/quote] a brace of facts to go with this, no members of Ugly Kid Joe were called Kid or Ugly either. Though I think there was a Dozy, and maybe a Sneezy

Pinball - the link you have there for the Perfect stranger Rock Band doesn't work either mate

[quote name='inthedoghouse' timestamp='1420299656' post='2647783'] I've seen Cloudbusting on YouTube a few times - excellent band! Hope to see you play sometime :-) [/quote] Cool! Depending on the age of the vid it may not have been me bassing on it, but my predecessor who Ive never met but is a well respected member of this very parish Im led to believe. If you get along to a gig be sure to pop and say Hi

heres a question then how to identify which part of the Squier range a particular bass is in? I have an amber P, I think its VM but how can I tell?

Ah just noticed, youre in two bands two. Or too

Almost forgot, Im in two ands, is that allowed? - https://www.facebook.com/pages/That-70s-Band/125458960800802?fref=ts

Always up for a few more 'likes', heres my bands FB - [url="https://www.facebook.com/cloudbustingkatebushtribute"]https://www.facebook...katebushtribute[/url] Now to work my way through that list n.b. Perfect Stranger Rock Band (apt name) link doesn't work

the Groovy Ghoulies, aside fomr being one of the best cartoons ever made, were/are the finest band ever created, like evahh

Randy Crawfords libido is legendary amongst the people of her native Georgia. Her song 'Rainy Night in Georgia' is probably not about what you think it is......

Gigged my Squier affinity again last night, did the trick as it always does. Even tho I got it second hand its still the most expensive bass I own

Seven Languages - Camper Van Beethoven Tennessee Fire - the Silos 2 great tracks

Tously haired blackster band Placebo aren't as good as the real thing. Or as expensive I believe

That is rather lovely

Oddly enough as an old fart of 43 myself, I usually put more energy into my performances than a lot of the youngsters ive shared stages with. Not that I do that with kate Bush of course, thatd look a bit weird
