Stevie Nicks sounds like a goat being molested, but Fleetwood Mac have sold out all their UK shows this year.

no it's not it's .63 metres.
thanks guys I'll give APC a try, looks like I had a lucky escape with Parcel Monkey, perhaps they use Brook Bond chimps to do their deliveries

630 millimetres you mean?

Careful now! That young girl who doesnt like old people will be along soon!!

I play along to The Beatles White Album every now and then. I especially love the run that Macca does on the slow version of Revolution

I must confess I use them more and more these days. I used to sit there with a cup of milky tea and a cream horn, listening to the song and stopping and starting it to pick the bass line out. Now with tabs and you tube I have been getting very lazy.

I,m still a bit shocked actually! But this evening I was searching Youtube for some 2 Tone Ska stuff by The Specials for some Sir Horace bass content, when I came across this song which I had never heard before. I was familiar with the 2 Tone stuff as a teenager, but a song called 'The Boiler' which I had never heard at all in 30 odd years came up so I thought I would give it a listen.
The singer was Rhoda Dakar who sang lead with The Bodysnatchers.
The song (If You can call it that) is a 12 bar rocksteady feel with Rhoda talking not singing the vocal.
The subject deals with violence against women and rape.
The last 60 seconds of the piece are so disturbing that I needed a large scotch to calm down.
I wont post the link on here but the inquisitive among you will find it.
Sorry to bring down your evening, but I needed to vent.

Not this again

Admittedly. The OP did add his apologies to the thread title.

I have played both and found the rosewood boards less toppy.

Anyone who has seen Mars Attacks! will be familiar with the spectacular incompatibility of Martian brain with Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call". It occurred to me yesterday evening, as I was forced to endure No Doubt's "Don't Speak" whilst standing in the chippy, that there are some songs that have a very similar effect on me. In the end I popped outside to the newsagent to peruse the motorbike mags rather than have to listen to another second of it.

I just can't stand it. I can't stand the singers horrible nasal voice, I hate the structure of the song, I hate the silly guitar solo in the middle, and I loathe the lazy 'Ooh-la-la-la' nonsense and the interminable ending. Having to listen to it actually makes me tetchy and bad-tempered.

Am I alone, or do other people have songs that they physically can't bear listening to?

I like that song. And the lovely Gwen Stefani
However, that awful Cher song where they do that awful effect on her already dreadful voice really burst my brain!

Been looking at a cover for my Markbass combo. The prices are a bit on the high side for my cheapskate pockets. Is it a worthwhile idea to buy a cover??

I would love a year of birth 1964 precision, but I could not justify spending all that money to gig it down the Dog and duck, or hang it on a wall to look at.
That is why i use my trusty faithful which I can afford to gig in sh*t-holes.

Post Modern Jukebox - Creep (Radiohead):

I love the original but this is better.

It's actually the only Radiohead song I can bear to listen to. There used to be a couple of their songs that had good videos, I used to mute the music because I really, really hated it, and just watch the videos.

Wow! that is good!!

Would you buy an expensive bass from somebody abroad with zero posts on here??
No definitely not!

Are you saying Andy Summers was bad-mouthing Sting?

He chose his words very carefully I thought.

Probably best you don't go to one, then.

LOOOOL!!

The seller might be comfortable with passing on your contact details to the buyer, if it was actually sold. I'd be surprised if the seller would just pass you the buyers details (and slightly annoyed if I was the buyer).

And get ready to be royally mugged on the price if you're chasing it down like this, but I guess you're prepared for this.

Personally I'd take this situation as a sign that specific bass wasn't for you, and a better one will be along soon.

Was it a bass?
