I fancied a finger rest on my Sterling so I stuck a small oblong of scrap black plastic to the similarly-coloured scratchplate with double-sided tape. Worked a treat.

I try to be forgiving of bad performances, but he is really straining. Aside from anything else it sounds like he'd have been a lot happier singing in a different key.

"Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before" "Paint A Vulgar Picture" "That Joke Isn't Funny Any More" "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me." "What Difference Does It Make ?"

I've lost count of the number of people involved with making music who have told me the correct way to coil cables. I'm pretty sure that 99% of them had never asked if I do it that way or, indeed, seen me coil cables. I must look like the kind of person who can't coil cables, I guess.

That's great news, I'm really glad you were as impressed as I was.

By deafening myself playing loud music I now don't have to worry about the finer points of deafening myself playing loud music. Result ! I think...

But tone comes from your fingers, and he's playing with his fingers,...who knows, maybe his fingertone is interfering with the necktone. Too many variables, unless.....

B. It says on it

"You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself make custard And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner, they'd be your partner" It works, but it certainly paints a different picture.

This is true, not all of them are guys !

I don't worry about my onstage sound. I make sure that I can give the person dealing with the sound a DI that sounds the way I want it to. Anything on-stage is just for monitoring. However, if the person doing the sound wants just a straight DI with no whistle and bells then that's that I'll give them. Being heard is more important to me than 'my sound' and it's their job to decide how that's best achieved, on that night, in that venue.

I think I've been DIed almost everytime the bass has bee

"We set sail a year and a day ago Making our way to Kilimanjaro" Kilimanjaro - Teardrop Explodes And also a candidate for a terrible rhyme

I think it's a 4-dimensional double-necked guitar. It just looks odd as we're looking at its 3-dimensional projection. Which is quite funny until you realise that are factories in China engaged in higher-dimensional fabrication and then it's really fecking scary.

Mrs Pook suggested this one: "Your name is heard in high places You know the Aga Khan He sent you a race horse for Christmas And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha" From "Where do you go to my lovely" There's a twisted mastery to rhyming Khan with fun, or fahn.

Me too. Oh, and yes, he has the box 😀

I've got a few mono leads I made from stereo cable - I just wired both conductors to the output. Worked fine for me.

That sounds awesome. Thanks for the review.

It's a great song with a really nice bit of bass playing to go along with it. I've played it a few times live and its gone down great, really good to see - I'm not really surprised it's spent so long in the charts

Oh no, someone threw a meme grenade into the Day Room.

Yep, another top video Greg. Useful and concise. I'm going to have a look at "Reading Music for Bass Players". Maybe it IS time EDIT: My wife is ordering it for my birthday

Yes, the black looks grand. I can't get over how good it sounds - just so even and full-sounding all across the fretboard.

I bought one a month or so. Very impressed with the sound and feel of it. I've not really played any of my other basses since I got it - a month-long honeymoon period is an impressive feat in my book

Who says rock music objectifies and commodifies women ? Oh, hang on.....

I happened upon this the other day and really made me wish I'd got to see AC Temple live. I dug out my only album by them that I own (the rest were on tape I think, long gone), and it was on Blast First records. Blimey....Blast First.
