Another fan here. Great part and a great sound. I've never tried to play it. The tricky bit (not sure if its the second part of the verse or the first part of the chorus - you know which bit I mean) sounds very Jamerson-like to me. Oh What a Night is another great bass line with a killer ascending run at the end of the middle 8. Listening to them both on the bus now.

Really sad, was just listening to Visions of China yesterday...great track.

There's a luthier in Shipley who has just done an excellent repair job on a violin for me. Her name is Lilly Bennett, I'll pm her number. Martin

I bought a fuzz pedal from Steve. Arrived safely packed, communications were good, sounds as nasty as a nasty thing...perfect! You can deal with Steve with confidence. Martin

Not my cup of tea at all, Phil, but I still hope to be there, work commitments allowing.

This hasn't turned up yet - have you sent it? If not, please miss me out as it turns out I already have a copy!

Bought Peter's Korg D1600. Great communication and he packed it well enough to survive armageddon. Deal with confidence. Martin

I'm a big fan of the earlier stuff - what a great band they were! Stepping Out is good too. He is a very talented writer and performer but for me, the combination of him and the original band is unbeatable.

Yes please. I'll pm my details. Martin

2. My beloved Musicmaster and a defretted Rockbass that hangs around like a bad smell.

Grotesque by The Fall turned me away from ELP and the ilk forever.

Did a primary school gig last weekend too. First gig with our new singer. Went really well, the kids and mums loved it, the dads hung around the BBQ and tapped their feet. And I, despite approaching my 47th birthday, played Mustang Sally for the first time ever.

Didn't Lakland announce recently that they'd be producing short scale necks that could be fitted to their existing models? I wondered about scale etc when I read it.

Piano > Violin > Guitar > Bass plus a few oddball instruments in between (drums, Tuba, Euphonium, mandolin, ukelele). I like to play bass for soul music, and guitar for indie rock stuff.
