  1. [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1450824589' post='2936298'] Although I was born in the UK, I grew up elsewhere and this fascination with supposed "class" is equally fascinating and baffling. From the outside looking in it looks like a self-imposed categorisation which doesn't exist except in the minds of those who subscribe to the notion. I can't think of any other country where the social origin they were born into in would be factored into the potential or authenticity of a band. It's an amazing concept to think of yourself in that way. [/quote] Absolutely spot on.
  2. They've just announced Hooky's back on the Sunday! Edit - see here: [url="http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/news-2/legendary-bassist-peter-hook-to-perform-at-lbgs-2016/"]http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/news-2/legendary-bassist-peter-hook-to-perform-at-lbgs-2016/[/url]
  3. Christmassy Halfway House, Barnes, last Saturday https://flic.kr/s/aHskr9ktzT
  4. Not sure what the problem is here - Chromes are extremely low tension, while Fenders are stiff as steel rods. Any bass neck will be able to cope with either and anything in between, if set up correctly: not just the truss rod but also the saddle height for the action and, if you're a lucky Warwick owner, the nut height.
  5. I was once youthful, exuberant and very literate, all at the same time. It was a great place to be.
  6. Moved to Gigs as more appropriate, and it'll be seen by more page visitors, hopefully
  7. Strange indeed. Maybe try pinging Warwick an email and ask if they have heard of the problem?
  8. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449768356' post='2926700'] From Post #1 ... [/font][/color] [/quote] Hence our question. I doesn't look like a fretted neck from the photos (the fret lines cast no shadow on the fingerboard). Just curious - the pics are not the highest quality.
  9. It does look like a lined fretless, as opposed to a normal fretted, doesn't it?
  10. [quote name='ProfFrink' timestamp='1449763728' post='2926628'] Ah! One strange thing is that they seem to be using non-standard output jacks. My fender guitar cables works OK, but my more expensive VOX cable seems to have plugs that are just a little too wide. Very strange... [/quote] I find that surprising! On mine, the output jack was a bit tight at first, but it's fine now with all the leads I have used with it. Perhaps it's the Vox cable that's non-standard?
  11. Computer magazines used to be notorious for publishing their December or Christmas issues at the beginning of October, and similar misdeeds. I think they're run with a slightly more sensible schedule now.
  12. Yup, unfortunately. BGM is OK, though - it usually hits the shelves (or the mailboxes) at the end of the month preceding the cover date, which means it shows the correct month during most of its shelf life.
  13. That's the December issue, the current one - in fact, better hurry if you want to buy a copy, as the January issue is almost ready for publication.
  14. That is all rather awesome!
  15. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1449442419' post='2923648'] Is this your personal bass..? Most of your previous basses for sale are right-handed; this is a 'lefty'..? Just curious, as I'm ambidextrous, myself (I play drums 'lefty'...). [/quote] Yes, it would be nice to know the answer, if you don't mind, zomnius.
  16. Much more fun, and quite a lot of lights, at The Horns in Watford last Sunday. First pic of album: Rest of album here: [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHskqFUQhb"]https://flic.kr/s/aHskqFUQhb[/url]
  17. Aw thanks! I'm at the show every year, wearing my lanyard with my name, so anyone who spots me walking around and would like to say hi, absolutely feel free to do it! If you don't mind being photographed you may even end up in That Blog.
  18. Excellent - thank you both!
  19. Mick's Lawmen will play The Horns this Sunday evening, and we've never been to the place before. Anyone know what the parking is like around there? Load-in and load-out arrangements, etc.? We'll be driving there in Happy Jack's van, which obviously occupies more space than a car. Thanks in advance
  20. Incidentally, a quick search on the social media shows that 5 Seconds of Summer - the one in the pic - is a huge band. They've apparently been touring the world and have millions of FB likes. [url="https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/"]https://www.facebook.com/5secondsofsummer/[/url] It's emphatically [b]not [/b]the band these kids are trying to form.
  21. Local gig at The Lord Nelson in Brentford, last Friday 27/11 First image of album: Rest of album here! [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHskmKZ4SK"]https://flic.kr/s/aHskmKZ4SK[/url]
  22. Bump! Hoping to be able to load in tonight without being rained on too badly.
  23. Would be lovely to see you, Ad, and catch up a bit
