[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1457257416' post='2996687'] The Clash - "London Calling" could be re-released as an EP: 1. London Calling 2. Lost In The Supermarket 3. Armegideon Time [/quote] Yup, I bought the London Calling album on double heavyweight vinyl last month. Fantastic opening track, then just a load of forgettable filler after that!

And Oroh Angiama played bass for her live at the outset of her recording / gigging career. Nice guy

I've had a few Snarky tuners over the past few years. Pretty nice little units. However, I got the TC Electronic Polytune clip on before Christmas - a bargain at £20!!! Works great.

I had a last minute dep a couple of weeks ago. I only had a couple of hours to load my car and listen to the songs before heading to the gig. My friend Paul Turner texted this piece of advice for me: "Oh no. Bit of advice... Lock any particular lines but then just jam along with every tune moving straight on to next without dwelling on anything. Your brain will be locked in and your ears will do the rest on the gig. If you have 2min per song then don't exceed. Any you know write the key and move on."

Yup, another Pino bassline there.

A guy who can writs the following lyrics is someone to be treasured in my opinion Excerpt from "Alone Again Naturally" "Looking back over the years, and whatever else appears, I remember I cried when my father died, never wishing to hide the tears. And at sixty five years old, my mother, God rest her soul, Couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved had been taken. Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken. Despite encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken. A d when she passed away, I cried and cried all day. Alone again, naturally." Sheer poetry.

No problem mate

I bought myself a Miles Davis 20 album CD boxset, which includes this one. So, if anyone here wants this album as a freebie, just let me know and I'll post it to you.

I received this a couple of days ago - pristine condition original double vinyl album. Playing along to the title track is so enjoyable.

I used the men's restroom between sets - and this happened! I could hear the guys on stage - waiting for me!!!

Drop Chris Mcintyre an email. He's a star. I've used chris for decades - in fact, I used to fly to London to get my instruments worked on when he was based there. He now has a workshop beside the Easter Road football stadium in Edinburgh. http://www.mcintyreguitars.com/mcintyre-guitars-clients.html

This thread has prompted me to buy a mint copy of the pleasuredome double LP. Should be with me in a day or two. Playing bass along to the 13 minutes of the opening track is still mega fun. Love it!

Dave is a busy boy - gigging, and being an all round great bloke.

The Peter Gabriel live DVD and album - "Secret World Live" is a fantastic piece of work. http://youtu.be/KN1zO-ejJvE

I was knocked sideways by the news this morning. I've spent most of today feeling tearful. He was a huge part of my musical life, it seems surreal that he's gone. The new album is great too. Someone said today that they'd felt like "the Elvis of our generation has passed away". To me he was far more influential than Elvis. I actually said hello to David in Manhattan a few years back. It seemed so odd to see someone, who always appeared to be such an icon, in an everyday setting. I said, "my goodness! David Bowie! Don't you look great?". To which he smiled and replied, "why thank you my good man", and we parted. I feel shellshocked.

I love the new album. I've been listening to it on headphones today - so many great textures. As for the packaging - black print on black paper - makes reading the lyrics a real chore!

Just practice. Things eventually fall into place. The more you play and practice, the easier it becomes to remember, or pick up, the tune you're working on. If you're getting frustrated , just remind yourself that you're not as bad as this guy: http://youtu.be/Vms_6_TSQuc

Just received this! A mini Lego-style electric bass! [URL=http://s7.photobucket.com/user/kevin_lindsay/media/20151227_150259-1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/20151227_150259-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

No problems with the Android version on my Samsung S5

The guys at The Gallery are great. I've always loved visiting there.

Adele (she plays bass and 6 string guitar)

Surely this has to be included? "The Police - Walking On The Moon" http://youtu.be/zPwMdZOlPo8

I got one for £20 from Amazon in the UK (hang on, wasn't that a Sex Pistols song?). The price jumps up and down on Amazon so put it in your basket and grab one when the price goes down.

Exit Stage Left would be my suggestion also. Great selection of tracks (even though the sound mix is rather muddy).
