Twinkle twinkle little star Now I know just what you are A lump of rusting rocket case A rubbish tip - in outer space (c) Spike Milligad, the well-known spelling mistake, who forgot that rocket cases wouldn't rust in a vacuum even if they were steel Incidentally, was there ever a trial to establish the guilt or innocence of video, or has it been assumed to be guilty of the murder of the radio star without due process? Trial by media, that's what it seems to be.

Name the bassist by the bass - difficulty level='basschat'

I managed Jack Casady because I know what his bass looks like. That's it. -

Visited Happy Jack yesterday and came away with less money and a Variax 705. I'd wanted one for a while, on and off, but as I've decided to get serious about doing some home recording, I thought I should actually bite the bullet and buy one instead of deciding not to and then regretting it (again). Also had a play on assorted other Happy Jack basses, which was fun. It's in very decent nick for a generation one and a half Variax. Firmware was as up to date as it will ever get. The neck is a little chunkier than my ideal neck but it's comfortable enough. More experimentation coming up, plus the combination of that and my HD500 which should be fun. And it was nice to meet Happy Jack and Bluejay too.

It was a minute past midnight in Dublin. Early morning, then. But the wrong day.

I would like to point out that, contrary to Jon Anderson's assertion, mountains do not come out of the sky. The last time that something similar happened was 65 million years ago, and that didn't turn out too well for the dinosaurs.

I never met you in the first place, Ms Lynn, rendering it absolutely impossible for me to meet you again considering your current state of vitality.

It seems that way - GAK get stitched up twice over by Yamaha, once by tying their hands over prices and then by grassing them up. It should be Yamaha people don't want to buy from, not GAK (at least the way I read it).

Tascam GB-10 - just copy all the music onto it and it's a one box solution.

Soundwise, yes. It was when I got it out of the case and the reaction from the rest of the band was a rather astonished "WTF is that?".

I feel he perhaps should be given some leeway, as he did describe the consequences of the tau factor, an element of relativism, in "39".

One of the Kings of Leon claims "I've been roaming around, always looking down at all I see". Unless he has some very unusual visual and anatomical issues, this seems extremely unlikely, as some of the things which he sees will require looking up at. And, Mr Rodgers, it is anatomically impossible for someone to smile from their head to their feet. Not even Michael Jagger's lips can encompass that.

The funniest reaction I got was when I turned up to a gig with said ceilidh band with an Ashbory.

Sometimes factual incorrectness can scan better, of course. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1500734/How-Katie-put-the-science-back-into-songwriting.html Oh, and while I'm here (this is where I get carted away by the Basschat thought police) - Prince, although there has been red rain and the sky is indeed blue, that doesn't add up to purple rain. Although it's a bit late to correct you now.

No, Alanis, rain on your wedding day is not ironic. Nor are any of the other examples in your song, they're simply examples of misfortune. Irony is writing a song called "Ironic" while not understanding what "ironic" means.

I've played a Warwick Thumb with a ceilidh band playing trad music, and a Warwick Buzzard with a social club band.

Especially if you're playing a waltz.

I didn't say what you attribute to me. I did buy one, but don't use it now.

Non-Bluetooth wireless may have noticeable compression.

He's flogging something else which seems rather familiar - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/383558799244 Can't think what it reminds me of, perhaps a Steinberger Spirit or Hohner, but I suspect the top horn has been partially amputated.

I had a Warwick one - moved it on eventually as it was just so long, it was tricky fitting it into the car. Headstock on the Warwick ones is a normal Warwick headstock.

After Eighty - Small Ashdown Combo On Steroids
tauzero replied to Chienmortbb's topic in Build Diaries
What about side ports? And as you've got a lot of unused power capacity in the speaker, are you going to get the components to take the amp to 65W? -
Photos will have to come later... The oldest guitar I have is an Eko Ranger 6 from the 80s, owned from new - I had an older Ranger 12, which I sold, I think because the front was bellying out. This has a vinyl scratchplate instead of the hefty plastic one of the earlier Rangers. Other skinny-stringers in approximate age order: Yamaha 12-string acoustic Line 6 Variax 300 with Roland pickup Crafter 6-string acoustic Line 6 James Tyler Variax - JTV59 (Les Paul-ish shape) Tanglewood 6-string acoustic Peavey autotune AT-200 Harley Benton 6-string classical There's also a Hohner G3T awaiting resurrection and a brandless Ebay headless awaiting assembly Incidentally, one problem with lockdown is that Mrs Zero (furloughed) has been doing a major tidy-up on the house and consequently has been able to count how many guitars and basses I have.
