    So you can whip it out, manipulate it and have it ready for action in a few seconds. And when you're done you can quickly fold it up and hide it away before anyone sees what's happening. :biggrin:

    Sounds great, apart from the folding-up bit :unsure:

    Ever met a famous musician…. but not realised at the time?

    I've chatted to Sir William Glock (former controller of BBC Radio 3 and the Proms) without knowing it.

    In the world of that pop music, in the 90s I went on a songwriting course which was co-led by Elvis Costello. He was a late addition to the roster, and was introduced as Declan McManus. At the end of the week, he performed as Elvis with the Brodsky Quartet - at which point two of the younger students on the course were asking, incredulously, did you know that was Elvis Costello?!

    Jazz - focus on treble clef?

    As you guessed, my answer is to learn both. Certainly don't abandon the bass clef, as a bass player this is your bread and butter. Remember the only difference between the two clefs is the pitch information - rhythm and note duration etc. are the same so it is not like you are learning a new language and any time spent on one clef will aid the other in recognition and performance of this information. Discounting ledger lines, there are just 5 lines on each stave and 4 spaces in between - that's not much to learn ;)

    '70s USA Precisions are rubbish, unless you've got one (see my sig), which is invariably the exception that proves the rule.

    I don't know which is more abhorrent, that the person he mentioned is a politician or that he plays one of those high-pitched six-bits-of-cheesewire devices!

    I wouldn't take too much notice of the oft quoted, by internet experts, nonsense about 70's Fenders.
    I'm not saying that there weren't some shoddy ones and some heavy ones but honestly, there were plenty of really fine ones.

    I know that Discreet has mentioned that his one is a cracker :) and I also have a 74 that is one very lovely instrument.

    Yep, my 77-ish P (like Discreet's, a blondie) is on the heavy side but it's lovely, plays and sounds great.

    I remember being caught at it by my mum as a teenager. Not a great experience. I was watching Mork & Mindy.

    Ah, memories. My sister told me once that, when I were a lad and a girlfriend and I used to disappear to my room, supposedly to "listen to music", which we turned up loud believing it would cover any noise we made, the light fitting in the living room (which was directly beneath my room) would start to swing from side to side. My father would look up from his paper, roll his eyes, look at my mother and harrumph. Fair play to them for not disturbing us.

    Do you mean that the bass in the music was hitting the lamp fitting's resonant frequency?

    Had to re-do a few because she interrupted. It is a bit annoying!
