[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1417773932' post='2623832'] I find it quite amusing that there's no details of the bass itself! If you look at feedback the other sale was for an Osmonds T-shirt that went for £138.00! [/quote] Not a T-shirt, it's the pink shirt he's wearing in the photo! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Official-Merrill-Osmond-shirt-/121456113288

[quote name='sammybee' timestamp='1417778768' post='2623898'] you can just call apple and they will talk you through fixing it in a language you understand. [/quote] I said, do you speak my language? He just smiled and gave me a Yosemite sandwich.

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1417733282' post='2623670'] Despite earning several squillion pounds from his party-closing-time sop-fest "We Are Sailing" Rod Stewart gets terribly seasick and has never ventured onto a seafaring vessel any larger than the pedalos at Bridlington leisure boating lake. [/quote] Mention of which is a good enough excuse for re-watching this: [media]http://youtu.be/qlSqqcu9CnM[/media]

Ah yes, G&L tribute... being a CV-lover myself (60's P) I was wondering if there was a guitar in the the CV price/quality ballpark with humbuckers, and some of those ASATs look like they might fit the bill

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1417694900' post='2623089'] But a better comparison would be that you were sitting in the stalls of an am-dram production of Tristan und Isolde and Nina Stemme walked in and asked if she could do an aria. Of course you'd say yes, wouldn't you? I doubt as many would be slagging her off for doing that as are giving RD a bad time here. This thread has a very disappointing edge to it. [/quote] Just expanding on paul_5's observation - a lighthearted one, I believe - that RD wouldn't be appropriate for all occasions. In the original context, then yes all the way. Dunno why anyone's suggesting otherwise.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1417686795' post='2622965'] That mind-reading course I went on was a complete waste of money. [/quote] I knew you were going to say that.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1417646126' post='2622741'] I wouldn't imagine I'd be too happy - I don't think he'd know our stuff. [/quote] Likewise, I don't how I'd react if I was sitting in the stalls at the Royal Opera House and heard the announcement that due to the indisposition of Nina Stemme, the role of Isolde in tonight's performance will be sung by Mr Roger Daltrey...

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1417633933' post='2622530'] Gladys Knight was in the process of forming her backing band and was auditioning singers. One of them mis-harmonised and she muttered "These guys are the pits". She later relented, but when speaking to her Management they misheard the new bands name and advertised her next appearance as "Gladys Knight and The Pips". The rest is, as they say, history.... [/quote]

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1417626080' post='2622422'] I did research the picture , and found the whole thing quite incredible , so I thought I might do something incredible this month . I haven't quite got incredible in my armory just yet though [/quote] Me neither, but I may start with inedible and take it from there.

Of course, thank you!

I'm an occasional marketplace seller and have previously paid the annual fee... but I can't remember if it was within the last year. Is there I way I can check my subs expiry/renewal date?

I think Katy Perry might win this one...

[quote name='Bottle' timestamp='1417610266' post='2622167'] The artist Labyrinth actually got lost in a Maize Maze once and had to be rescued. Poor chap [/quote] Was that when he was supporting Korn?

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1417513372' post='2621054'] Would you be happy , if he took the stage when you were playing. [/quote] No! Because then we'd be on the floor!

Olly Murs studied Chemistry, but switched to music after realising that he could never come close to the impact made by his elder sister, Polly.

I might have missed it, but has no one mentioned Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah?

I bet this never happens to David Guetta ;-)

[quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1417499410' post='2620965'] And the Argentinian Malbec at £5.99 is superb! [/quote] Is it good for metal?

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1417479811' post='2620941'] A parent of one of The Monkees made a fortune from an every day item's invention............ Peter Tork's Mum invented a wrench. [/quote] This continues to sell well due its low pricing. Tork is cheap.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1417444055' post='2620365'] That's brilliant! I did watch an Andertons review of the Telecaster. They make it sound good but i know it's alot down to the amp and whatever else they're using. (plus they have some talent) [/quote] I'd certainly be considering one if "needed" another elec gtr.

I can't find the link to the video now, but Andertons did a blindfold test of four Teles: CV, Mexican, USA and Custom Shop. Guy picks up the CV and says, "ah, this is the Custom Shop..."

The members of Joy Division were brought together by a shared love of arithmetic. Following the death of Ian Curtis, the remaining members found it therapeutic to re-arrange their book and LP shelves alphabetically, and drew on these experiences when naming the continuation band.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417305575' post='2619097'] Well OK, that's the [i]second[/i] cover that's better than a Beatles original. [/quote] There must be some decent covers of the songs on Let it Be to swell the ranks...

This. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1417187580' post='2617988'] Really? The Beatles version is OK, but I can't stand Joe Cockers version all the histrionics just seem so fake to me. [/quote] This. [quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1417189091' post='2618015'] Anyone who covers a Bob Dylan song does it better than Dylan - especially Joan Baez. (IMHO, of course!) [/quote] And, possibly, this: The Naz version was the first I heard, and I loved it, and remember being somewhat perplexed on hearing the original. Haven't heard the Nazareth version for decades! [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1417209971' post='2618334'] This Flight Tonight by Nazareth I prefer to Joni Mitchell's original, and I am a big Joni fan. [/quote]

Wasn't the actual Bass of Doom lost/stolen shortly after Jaco's death? EDIT: apologies for the spoiler for those who are going to see the film
