Many, many, many years ago I had a mother in law that lived near Sturry. We often ended up dragging ourselves into a pub called The George and Dragon next to the river. It can get busy and there was entertainment to be had watching idiots in boats, plus being eaten alive by bugs in the evening, a good time was had by all!! It's probably been rebuilt as flats now.

Change by Tears for fears

+1 but must be bolt on neck for me. Be wary of set necks. There be dragons! Lol

Short scale?

Its all set up though isnt it. The bit filmed in the auction hall always looks fake. Pretend bidders etc? Maybe i'm wrong?

You've nailed it! I feel that the only way high street music shops can survive is by providing genuine customer service and/or by obtaining unique/vintage used stock. The big online box shifters cannot compete. That said, online shopping is changing the high street whether we like it or not. Why is online shopping always seen as 'bad/evil' and local high street shops seen as good, honest and wholesome?

Yeah, brilliant and flawed at the same time. Such a sad end to a massive talent.

Luthier is a posh word for a bloke in a shed?

I was wandering around Asda on Easter Monday while 'Let's Dance' was playing. Looking forward to SRV's bit and the lady at customer services talked over it with perfect timing!

You forgot the 'unboxing' part!

.... and in the morning Human Resources will call you in to discuss 'certain emails'

Hmmm. It's advertising but not as we know it? Lol

Scott certainly picks up plenty of free advertising on this site these days?

I'm just giving a different perspective. Just because you maybe don't think its important doesn't mean the audience feels the same. Sadly, 'near enough is good enough' seems to be the mantra here.

If I had to play music I wasn't interested in i'd be more willing to 'tribute' it too?

I don't think the average non muso audience would notice that you weren't trying to do a note for note copy, but would assume you weren't capable of it?lol

Or how little of the original performance do they need to class as a cover? half assed is a cover, totally half assed, a tribute! lol

Just wondering how many of you guys have ever had to sit in the audience and endure a covers band half assing their way through a song you care about?

Actually its a bit weird using someone elses avatar?

Not so funny now is it?

Hmmpf, I see you've still got your avatar Teebs, I wish I was one of the favourites!

The little pic of my dog that used to be next to my username? Have I been demoted?

Interesting subject. Would a bass ever be too rare and/or valuable to use regularly i wonder?
