  1. withdrawn, sorry.
  2. Urban legend has it that Ian "Lemmy' Kilminster, be-warted Rickenbacker botherer and growly voiced songster, got his name from always being short of bread (that's what money was called back then) and asking people to 'Lemmy a fiver'. This is simply not true. He was saddled with the moniker after bandmates Phil 'Filthy Animal' Taylor and 'Fast' Eddie Clark overheard him repeatedly asking where the honey was in a Hypermarché in Calais. He LOVES that honey does Lemmy! Less so nowadays, due to his diabetes.
  3. Thanks Michael J - that's the exact part I'm looking for.
  4. I'm trying to fix an old Yamaha Clavinova. The speaker protection relay has given up the ghost and I'm struggling to find a replacement. It's an OMRON G5Z-2A rated at 12VDC and apparently they've been discontinued. Any suggestions as to where I might find anything similar?
  5. I'm up for the relay too, I'll wait until it comes to Liverpool, as I'm based in North Manchester.
  6. Ironically, Rush live shows last longer than anyone else's.
  7. [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1415725555' post='2603096'] What's a licky button? [/quote] DOWN BOY!
  8. This thread needs a 'LKE' button so badly!
  9. 'Enya' was booked to appear on Radio 4's 'Gardeners' Question Time' but was dropped when the producers realised she wanted to overdub herself 16 times.
  10. Brian Ferry isn't actually licensed to carry passengers.
  11. Carol Kaye books gone, just the Sher and Pastorius left.
  12. A band. That's where the fun is. Unless they're rubbish, and then it's like pulling teeth. Seriously though, those Peavey amps are bomb-proof. Keep ticking along with the metronome, it'll pay dividends in the long run...
  13. Billy Gibbons has never worked at our local library, despite having read over 3 books. Neither has Dusty Gibbons.
  14. David Bowie did all of the 'Minion' voices in Despicable Me. He wanted too much money to reprise the role(s) for the sequel, so they were done by Rachel Weiss instead. True fact.
  15. [s]Carol Kaye Complete Electric Bass Volumes 1&2 - £25 the pair [/s] Jaco Pastorius Essential bass recorded versions - £8 Chuck Sher Improvisor's Bass Method £8 Rick Laird - Improvising Jazz Bass - £7 Or all 3 for £20 All prices include p&p to mainland UK.
  16. Over 22" hair? That's nearly 2 feet!
  17. Sounds good, especially with the blend!
  18. Brody Dalle will kill it too - great voice!
  19. Every day's a school day. Take regular breaks and spend some time away from the bass. Sometimes it's helpful to read through a piece without playing it. I find it can help me to get a different angle on problematic sections. Regular physical exercise too - don't forget that the rest of your faculties need a workout as well as keeping those piggies wriggling...

    All Hail Timmy! Been playing about with my Timmy clone recently and it's still my favourite grit box. Superb on guitar and bass with no loss of low end on either. Fricking awesome!
  21. Got some Harley Benton 45-105 arriving this weekend. We'll let you know.
  22. [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1415109500' post='2596745'] Edit: Anything By Jamiroquai with Stuart Zender at the helm had groove IMO [/quote] This. My nomination would be "Chameleon" on Herbie [i]Hancock's Headhunters[/i].
  23. That's the album that got me into bass playing! I've never had a mullet (or a Wal) though.
