[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1474735266' post='3140147'] I'm from Belgium and I can understand him :-) [/quote] So... Why does Jools talk with a Belgian accent? 🤔

I've been watching and enjoying some of this guy's myth-busting videos and came upon this one. I won't spoil the answer for you... http://youtu.be/XxjkeXsSMo4

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1474633055' post='3139430'] It looks like the silhouette of a dancing roast chicken. Either that or I need to change these meds. [/quote]

Darn,that's not helping my tele GAS!

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1474438468' post='3137961'] And Marley could field a full 11 squad. The Beatles could just scrape together a 5-aside team... [/quote] Surely there must be at least seven different people who at one time have been labelled the "fifth Beatle" to take the moptop side up to 11!

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1474391525' post='3137643'] Football wise I think Bob would have won, he was a really keen footballer, I don't think the Beatles were? [/quote] Probably not, there are no decent teams from where they grew up

There's only one way to find out... http://youtu.be/o0RFfKFH4JE

A very well-travelled friend of mine said that the only music he'd heard played wherever he went in the world was Bob Marley's, so he gets my vote.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1474384815' post='3137557'] I don't know this joke! [/quote] Try learning the bass part!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1474382472' post='3137535'] IME people don't normally like it when bands change direction, which is probably why modern bands tend to stay on a similar tack [/quote] I don't think that's a recent phenomenon - the money men at the record companies have always wanted "more of the same" from their successful artists. The Beatles were allowed a lot of leeway because of their stature - even when it came to how close to the drums they were allowed to put the mics! (Documented in Revolution in the Head IIRC.)

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1474382519' post='3137537'] I'm not sure how many times I can keep recycling the 'When Doves Cry by Prince' joke. Maybe just once more [/quote] When Doves Cry is a doddle, it's Kiss I have trouble with!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1474310721' post='3137043'] I think there are too many "famous" people now, far more outlets and reality tv etc, being limited to four tv channels as a kid , three until I was 6 years old meant it was easier to know all the celebs of the time. [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1474311685' post='3137062'] Ah, yes. Whatever happened to Rolf Harris? You don't see much of him on TV now, do you? [/quote] It was easier to know all the celebs of the time.... the downside being that was "know" in the biblical sense!

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1474058294' post='3135384'] No I wouldn't. The simple reason is if a 'big name' player has had it, then they'll have used up most of the notes. [/quote] What if it was one of Adam Clayton's?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1473987071' post='3134793'] It really depends if you're buying a bass as a collector or a player. If I were a collector, then maybe (depending on the 'name' and with proof), but as a player it matters not a jot who the previous owner was. The bass is what it is and it's going to be me playing it, situation normal. [/quote] Yep, if money were considerably less of an object than it is, I would consider the bass-with-provenance as a collector or investor. Any bass I buy with the intention of actually playing it is likely to depreciate heavily through my association!

[quote name='bassix' timestamp='1473947480' post='3134410'] Is this as simple as getting a bass booster? [/quote] Probably! I used to use an EQ pedal for this... rather than boosting across the range, you may just need to add a little "poke".

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1473765092' post='3132860'] So you were 5 at the time? [/quote] Are you confusing him with Bryan Adams? "Had my first real sex dream / I was five at the time...."

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1473587653' post='3131340'] ...they thought I was a guitarist! [/quote] ...were they telling you to turn it down and making jokes about how you didn't know what key you were in?

Here's a handy overview: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-3WuQxnA7Hg

Love the colour too!

[quote name='Cestrian' timestamp='1472567802' post='3122181'] App Store on iPhone. Search for 'bass tabs jellynote'. [/quote] I've used Jellynote on the web - quite useful and it does the dots too!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1472472238' post='3121333'] Alternatives: [url="http://alternativeto.net/software/audacity/"]http://alternativeto...tware/audacity/[/url] Looks like there are quite a few free options to investigate at least! [/quote] Of these, I used to use Goldwave quite happily. But I defected to (wait for it...) Audacity cos it's simpler! The feature that's going to be hard to replicate is the splitter. Setting up a number of cue points and hitting "split on cue" is pretty straightforward in A*d*c*ty but it's not something that DAWs I've used are geared up to. (Stands by to be corrected...)

I used to have dreams about the blonde one in Abba... which was annoying, as I much preferred his wife 😆

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1472224797' post='3119634'] ABBA ...or more specifically I hadn't picked up a musical instrument at this point [/quote] Well, not a musical one anyway!
