Beatles - Sergeant Pepper, which I haven't listened to properly for, ahem, 40 of years. Oldest daughter thinks Keef is right. But that's a whole other thread;) Sly and the Family Stone - Stand. Wonderful!

I recall someone in the BC community (can't remember who) saying something like "if you're going to play in a worship group, do it for spiritual reasons rather than musical ones, otherwise you'll be conflicted". Having said that, I'm with the OP on this. "Community" also means asking " would it be OK if...?" or "do you think it would work if...?". Not just turning up!

Why do you say you love me when you don't?

Can I get a witness?

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1439276878' post='2841401'] My home patch, we 'grew' a band there, learned three songs a week betwen 7 and 9.00 then went and performed them at the Howl open mic, then played our first paid gig at the Axe once we had a full set prepared. Wonder if you were there at the same time. This week coincidentally Elijah is moving the open mic to Cloakham Lawns in Axminster, the Axe is going to just run one open mic a month on a Thurs. [/quote] We've just rolled up in Beer a few miles away (just in time for the monsoon), so we'll give Cloakham Lawns a go methinks. Pity no banjo with me though

Have you got a light Mac? No, but I've got a dark brown overcoat

Hev yew gotta loight boy?

Nice story - my first bass suffered from the same bits falling off affliction! Happy Anniversary!

Has anyone given any of these a listen? I know they've "done" the two original New York Dolls albums, a good deal of the Blue Oyster Cult and Wishbone Ash output and some of the Quicksilver Messenger Service stuff. But is it worth the price of admission? I'm still reeling (not in a good way) from Iggy's "breathing" on Search and Destroy .

That's lovely!

Having clearly been living under a rock for some time, I've not seen these guys before. What a great show! Made me feel optimistic, excited, a bit nostalgic...sort of Feelgoods meets J Geils in their RnB days. Great stuff!!

I like that, lovely feel. Sounds good through my ropey in ear phones at work!

Nice score Paul, that black looks very cool . I guess the only visual clue on the increased body size is the distance from the bridge to the body edge.

+1 to pretty much all of the above, but my favourite was probably Weekend World (Mountain's Nantucket Sleighride): [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2dpq4sExgs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2dpq4sExgs[/url]

[quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1433097713' post='2787837'] Its not just weddings though surely. apparently Light My Fire, and Arthur Browns Fire are popular at Cremations. Not many funerals have bands though. Anybody played a funeral ? [/quote] I've heard of "Another one bites the dust" being played over the PA at a biker's funeral. Must be true, the vicar told me.

A Bass VI, a Limelight P, an NR Thunderbird...

Does Antigua count as a burst for this thread?

With the Precision, volume on max and tone between 75%ish and 100%. With the Tbird, for the "classic Tbird sound", neck on 10, bridge on about 8 and tone on 10. If I want to kid myself that it sounds a bit like a Jazz, I'll reverse the volume settings but lose a bit of volume in the process.

Thanks AT, hadn't twigged the scale length. I'd seen the one on Ebay which talks about being based on the Pawn Shop Bass VI...

Has anybody tried the Revelation RJT 60 B - the Bass VI alike. Looks nice, decent price too, well below the latest Squier price! [url="http://thebassgallery.com/bass/rjt-60-b-bass.html"]http://thebassgallery.com/bass/rjt-60-b-bass.html[/url]

This is at Bishopthorpe Road York. We're playing on the back of a wagon at the street party to celebrate the TDY finishing stage 2 in York. Should be a hoot, but I'll need some fingerless gloves!
