The one you're trying hard to look as if you're not looking at..!

[quote name='totorbass' timestamp='1508499498' post='3392601'] Yes... [/quote] Ah, that's much better. I'm unfamiliar with the term 'WAF', but get the gist. If I may suggest the following, though, to improve the sense..? [color=#800080][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]'Yes, the Woman Acceptance Factor is quite good, my wife has given up on my GAS, but I'm not pushing my luck too much, either.'[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers, and thanks for the explanation.[/font][/color]

[quote name='totorbass' timestamp='1508496442' post='3392572']... Yep the WAF is quite good (she has let down). But I'm not exagerating. [/quote] ? ? ? Lost in translation, I'm afraid. Try again in original French, please, just to see..? Essaie de nouveau en français, pour voir, stp..?

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1508495615' post='3392558'] You'd have thought they'd have the condition under control? [/quote] No point; half the time it's useless.

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1508494251' post='3392539']... I'm 65,and after playing in various bands since age 15 without ear protection,ever,(I was one of the 'earplugs are for wusses' brigade) it's only to be expected.If only I'd taken more care. [/quote] On the other hand, ageing is what it is, and treble loss is, unfortunately, par for the course for over 60's. Protection is, of course, a Good Thing, but don't beat yourself up for having neglected it early on. You are not alone.

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1508489302' post='3392495']...keep basslines simple to avoid over-egging the pudding... [/quote] Mmm..! Pudding..!

Nice drums back there ..^^ (and a great music stand, too..! )

Birdsong (or is that my tinnitus playing up again..? )

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1508479201' post='3392418']... Have they really been on tour for twenty years? How does that work? [/quote] Once again, the power of the mighty apostrophe..! "The band have temporarily halted their '20 Years of Placebo' tour while lead singer Brian Molko sees a specialist and finds out what's causing the vocal issues."

Perhaps it was [i]thought [/i]stolen, but had, in fact, simply slid down the back of the sofa..? ...

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1508444409' post='3392326'] Good news mate, we won't ask how you set your hand on fire!! [/quote] Trying to keep up with Wooten, probably..! ...

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1508412569' post='3391993'] Thought that Jessie Ware was her usual outstanding self last week..... [url="https://youtu.be/b3kTN4Sde1w"]https://youtu.be/b3kTN4Sde1w[/url] [/quote] ... and no bass player in sight, eh..? The future of bassists is secure..? Hmm... (Very nice, polished performance; great arrangement. Good Stuff...)

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

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1508357926' post='3391710'] The issue is more about how musicians and bands can get the short end of the stick... [/quote] You get the conditions for the gig and choose to do it or not. What others get as conditions and choose to accept or not is irrelevant, unless jealous. At a party, someone gets a slice of cake; you get none. Important to you or not..?
