Meatloaf. Seeing as the ones that first sprang to mind (T Rex, Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd) have been nabbed, and I'm not sure about playing with David Bowie as he'd sack me, although I could also be tempted by Focus. Still, Meatloaf - I like Jim Steinman's writing, there's a lot of energy in the songs and enough complexity to make them interesting but simple enough that I should be abler to remember them.

I'm sure I recall mention of someone having a neck built by Jon Shuker. Might be worth a search to see if you can find the post in question.

So it's not a standard issue bass. Thank you for making my point.

Indeed, there's one of these on every music shop wall: The Jack Bruce Cream reunion signature bass. Although before that, he had a signature fretless Thumb bass from Warwick that was changed from the original - see his website. So sorry, sometimes what you say is true but by no means always.

I know the last time I said something about not liking Prince's work, I got slagged off. I still don't like the vast majority of what I've heard of his. Like a latter-day Paul McCartney. Still, while it's OK to say what you like about Coldplay or U2, Prince is sacrosanct so I suppose I'll get slagged off again. I won't deny he's composed a lot of stuff and could play lots of instruments, but I'm not convinced of the merit of what he's composed.

Classical - Bach. Modern - Jan Akkerman.

And on topic, another Maggie Bell one: And Fireball XL5: And of course there's this:

George Markstein, but he's dead. James Follett professes to know all about it but he's full of bollocks.

T Rex, and Tyrannosaurus Rex (that's the order I encountered them in). A little later on, Alice Cooper.

The prog covers band I'm in will have to start thinking about this soon, as we near having enough material to play a gig. On the basis that the dancey stuff goes in the second set, we'll just be playing a very long first set. Put a bum-squeezer in towards the end of the night, then finish it off with a bang. Keep an extra bang or two in reserve as encores.

Surely every bassist who has a signature model warrants it, because the people who control more money than I'll see in a lifetime think that it's worth putting some of it in the direction of said bassist.

Don't forget the topics that aren't about the Beatles that somehow finish up being about the Beatles. I suppose we'll never know whether it's envy, annoyance, or some other emotion that is the source of denial.

Hasn't Mark King had signature basses with Alembic, Jaydee, and Status? Oh, and Fender too. Still, so far he's just had the one signature amp.

If somebody's taken a photograph, they've created an original work of art which is automatically copyrighted. Just using those pictures on an auction doesn't mean the original photographer has surrendered his copyright, in the same way as just because you hear a record on the radio, the writer hasn't surrendered his copyright to it. PS. And this is why the OP should start using a sniping tool...

Manufacturer: Yamaha

Currently playing with two different drummers in two different bands. As far as personality, transport, technicalities of setting up kits, etc go, both fit discreet's list. Both are good drummers - one is a bit more disciplined than the other, both keep time well. The only issue I have with one of them (the less disciplined one) is that he doesn't necessarily count in at the same tempo as he'll start playing. I think I need to chat with him about it (that's something missing from discreet's list - willing to accept properly directed criticism and acknowledge mistakes).

"Only minor dings and scratches". Can't see how traumatic amputation of 20% of a P copy could be described as "minor".

I thought the neck and inner body slotted into the outer body in some way and could be removed and put into a different body. The page about the guitars on the otherwise rather odd RKS website

I rather like it. Not enough strings or inches though.

Genz Benz too.

Go to the bike show instead. Your GAS may have been transposed.

Oh, and I've just remembered - I think every single tab for "The Seeker" by The Who is wrong, which is quite impressive.

My own experience may give some guidance to the reasons for this... Some time ago, feeling dead idle, I had a look for a tab for Killer by Seal/Adamski. There are a couple on Ultimate Guitar, which are wrong. So I worked it out and then posted a correct version of it for consideration. The self-proclaimed great and good responded that (1) it was so simple that there was no need for a tab (so why are there tabs on there for it) and (2) that there were already tabs on there for it (but they're totally wrong). I resubmitted it once, got the same response, and decided not to bother posting tabs up there ever again. Tossers.

I still like Gary Glitter's music. Indeed, I still have "Glitter", and somewhere I had a signed concert programme. Now that Morrissey has defended Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, will the poor deluded fools that thought he was a talented musician change their minds about him?

Sounds like a natural guitarist.
