Actually, I think you might be slightly wrong there. Hendrix would have received £12,889 and The Who would have been paid £4,475 or possibly, £8,020 if Variety is correct.

I'd be tempted but far too much lacing for me!

Here you go Alex!

+1 to Ampband.

What? Now I've got to find out what those mean!

Snowflake? Marmalade sandwich? I must have lived a very sheltered life. I've got no idea what you're talking about!

How about covering it in good leaf?

What a fantastic toy. I'll have a left handed bass one please!

Play and sing that one. No problem for me at all as it's what Pete wrote and what people would hear on the original record which you can often hear on the radio. I think the audience might notice if I sang the wrong words though, actually, they probably wouldn't.

Why not check out Bill's Simplex designs. The plans are cheap enough. http://www.billfitzmaurice.com

I was in Ashton last week but I'm now back in Hastings. Sorry.

Living in Hastings, nearly everywhere is a long way to collect.

I wasn't a great fan of banjos until I heard this, I can't stand solo sax though and don't get me started on recorders!

I use dunlop 1mm, the black nylon ones, they work well. It's amazing what a difference different picks make to the sound.

You forgot Bert Weedon!

Acoustic bass here. Just pick it up, play, put it down again.

Deep Purple, Highway Star. Love this version as well.

Bearing in mind that we all turn up together in the van, from arriving to ready for sound check, about an hour. Depending on the usual.

Wear something that you wouldn't wear in the street, you are entertaining after all.

YOU WERE LUCKY.................................

I'm trying to find a big hairy spider to hang on my tuners, but then I might frighten myself. I've been in Vegas for a couple of halloweens, Fremont street, and it was absolutely brilliant. The parade was a bit of a shambles though. Frank and the Steins were superb.

Might be worth bearing in mind that a duo gets squeezed into a tiny corner just big enough for 2 guitarist to sit / stand side by side. Certainly less room than needed to set up a drum kit.

Fascinating! Looks a bit cranky today but what wonderful innovations for the time.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1508320145' post='3391285'] This makes me laugh this talk of drum gear - why is it as a bass player that doesn't play drums, I'm the owner of a full set of drum mics, a full set of percussion mics, drum screens, a set of triggers... Hell, I have more vocal mics than the lead singers in the band too... And the guitarist has also taken to using my amp too... Go figure. Hashtag mug. [/quote] You as well!
