[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1372689980' post='2128608'] because when you hear sh*t lyrics, you are immediately turned off a song [/quote] this i always take delight in reminding our singist that despite the songs being very catchy, rihanna will probably not be winning any ivor novello awards anytime in the next century or two

sometimes but more often than not im hearing the tune and the lyrics are just a necesary means of conveying the melody i only really pay attention to lyrics if it something of the calibre of joni mitchell or dylan or something similar where the song is the vehicle for some poignant tale eg tales from topographic oceans beatiful vocal melodies .... crazy unlistenable lyrics (unless of course youre off your tits) but try listening to something such as hurricane or hejira without listening to the lyrics!

nice strapline

imho the colour look s a bit too loud in that pic - like it's been 'shopped a wee bit to increase the saturation or luminance to make the purple even more 'wow'

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1372666574' post='2128189'] I enjoyed them at Glasto.....sorry [/quote] dont apologise! regardless of whether or not you agree with the commercialsation of the event over the years etc etc the organisers do seem to try and put on a wide variety of acts to hopefully please the public at large, but ..... you cant please all the people all of the time! i cant stand m&s' music but they do make an entertaining visual show even with the sound off ... unlike primal scream who make me want to damage my own teevee

[quote name='headofire' timestamp='1372664904' post='2128169'] Guys, if you can't say anything nice... don't be haters life's too short. Just change the channel. They have done well, and they are top fellas. [/quote] yes indeed as ice says we are not against them just the dubious quality of their product im sure they are very nice guys but the thing that really grates for me is this whole foot stomping faux over-enthusiasm thing anyone fancy starting up a chumbawumba tribute band

[quote name='canarybass' timestamp='1372661864' post='2128141'] The first couple of songs are inoffensive [/quote] ... only if you accept the definiton of 'inoffensive' as being 'that which is likely to incite you to smack the perpetrator in the face with a shovel'

how is sunny devon?

Our guitarist put a couple of theirs on our "set list suggestions" list I said fine, but you might need to find another bass player I always abide by the principle that if I haven't got got anything good to say about someone I say nothing, so here endeth the sermon on Mumford and sons!

thanks Rich - it is the earlier one with the sharp pointy corners instead of the rounded off ones but i did notice the screws on the side

[quote name='martthebass' timestamp='1372582023' post='2127316'] I think she'd appreciate some TLC Steve, and she'd look the dogs in a tranny black jobby! [/quote] indeed do you 'know' her then mart? incidentally can anybody with an early style bridge point me at a detail pic or say whether the bridge had springs on the long screws through the saddles?

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1372575899' post='2127243'] The upshot of this is if you want to change the neck on a genuine fender, atleast you can fit a genuine fender neck. £120 is not a lot more than a mighty mite job, I for one would be tempted. It will muddy the waters of an already murky marketplace though, but hey atleast something will be genuine! [/quote] could be that its a cunning marketing ploy to push/maintain the value of vintage originals??

ok so after all the lovely shiney on this thread, here's a dull old dog # 844 is a veritable hussy of a bass - i believe it has seen even more basschatters than the infamous R*******CKER thread i just bought it from cosmo who i think got it from cocco and heaven knows how many other basschatters before - please feel free to divulge and i will record its dirty past on the inside of the control panel plate like a tramp stamp the original bridge will be going back on eventually once i get some black springs for it and set it up am so tempted to have it lacquered up at status with the transluscent metallic charcoal-black hi gloss

devonrex eh? will you be sporting a cat avatar?

saw him at jazz cafe in late 90s - unless the next jimi comes along any time soon you simply will not see a better guitarist
