As there are no votes cast as yet, I was able to slip in a quick one (stop giggling, back there..! ); no harm done. I'll expect a substantial cheque, of course. Now, can I get back to my Modding, please..?

Good evening, Peter, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good afternoon, Guy, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I use Voxplugs for both bass and guitar, and, although they are not competition for an Ampeg stack, they're not so bad as to hurt one's ears, either. Plugs straight into the instrument, headset plugs in and that's all that's required. It's just for practising, or trying out an immediate idea; just grab the bass and play. If I want tone, I have a Hiwatt amp, but the trusty little Voxplug get far more use around the house than does the Hiwatt. Other folks may have other usage, but for simply practising, I wouldn't be without one.

I doubt that she complains 'Neck's too chunky; I've got small hands', either..!

[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1508605125' post='3393294'] If you have an impromptu jam with your friends in front of the guests at a party in your home, is that a gig? What about if you play bass for a few songs at the local primary school's Christmas service? Playing in the band for a pantomime matinee and then again in the evening. Is that two gigs? Turning up and doing a couple of songs at a jam night. Is that a gig? [/quote] From the OED ...

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1508522042' post='3392784'] NOOOOOOO. I have really struggled for inspiration on this fairy topic and put in an entry that's just about fairy nuff, and mow I find it's a picture of an ELF !! Oh my days ! [/quote] No time to change to 'National Elf', or 'Here's to your good elf', or 'Swinging's an elfy occupation..? No..? Oh, never mind, then.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1508528169' post='3392844'] I thought it was a pixie. [/quote] No, all the pixies I've ever seen have all worn pointy hats, rather like Noddy (although he's not a pixie; it's just that he wears a pointy hat [i]similar [/i]to that worn by all the pixies I've ever seen, but with a bell, that's all...).
