  1. Classical - Bach. Modern - Jan Akkerman.
  2. And on topic, another Maggie Bell one: And Fireball XL5: And of course there's this:
  3. George Markstein, but he's dead. James Follett professes to know all about it but he's full of bollocks.
  4. T Rex, and Tyrannosaurus Rex (that's the order I encountered them in). A little later on, Alice Cooper.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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...
  10. Manufacturer: Yamaha
  11. 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).
  12. "Only minor dings and scratches". Can't see how traumatic amputation of 20% of a P copy could be described as "minor".
  13. 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
  14. I rather like it. Not enough strings or inches though.
  15. Go to the bike show instead. Your GAS may have been transposed.
  16. Oh, and I've just remembered - I think every single tab for "The Seeker" by The Who is wrong, which is quite impressive.
  17. 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.
  18. 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?
  19. Sounds like a natural guitarist.
  20. It is if you play 4(B)--1(D)-4(E)-4(B)-1(D)-4(E). All the right notes and in the right order.
  21. I don't play it now, but when I did I used, er, <picks up bass> 4-1-4, same as Burns-bass.
  22. To lose a fair bit of weight, look at a cricket bat bass like a Hohner B2/B2A/B2AV (depending on strings and activity/passivity). No stupid headstock adding lots of weight levering on your shoulder.
  23. I've got one of these Cobra Direct-One which seems fine.
  24. As one who owns both a One10 and a brace of Berg AE112s, and who likes a sound with a bit of bite to it for playing rock gigs, I wouldn't bother with the One10 for said rock gigs. I think it's a great cab but it doesn't have the same bite as a tweeter-equipped cab.
