Jean-Luc Pickguard

If the bugera can pump out 1000W, why does it only have a 200W speaker? Am I being thick? (if so, it won't be the first time)

I went for simplicity & low weight in my previous band so gigged with a single Schroeder 1212L. My current band already owned an Ashdown stack when I joined, so I use their cabs, an ABM210 & an ABM115, with my own Ashdown ABM600 Evo iv which I bought as their existing evo ii had a few quirks.

Alien Orifice — Frank Zappa

Not sure I'd risk buying a bass from aliexpress, but the Lekato WS-60 wireless system I bought from there is excellent, and can be used in mono or stereo mode to take advantage of rick-o-sound (on a real 4003)

Whole Lotta Rosie — AC/DC

While you're in there, your future self will thank you if you junk the existing socket and replace it with a switchcraft or pure tone one.

The only time I was propositioned after a gig, I had to politely decline the offer in question saying, "I'd love to, but I don't think my wife would be too happy about it"

Lozz, this design is on a black Gildan 5000 shirt. If you want to double check the size, there's also a link to a pop-up size guide on the page below the size selection drop-down.

Something similar is available on my online apparel shop, bassthing.uk https://bassthing.uk/shop/tshirts/bass-benefits-t-shirt/

Return To Sender — Elvis

Feet Like Fins — Cocteau twins

I have just uploaded a new version of the band name generator. This has probably around 10× the number of words as the first version. Due to the size of word list, rather than doing everything using javascript in the browser, this new version does all the clever stuff on the server in PHP. This means it is less likely to crash the browser. There is still some work to do before it is officially launched— notably I need to go through the word lists and remove a lot of the crappy/obscure/archaic words. Currently I'd say the app is a fair bit less useful than the previous version due to there currently being a lot of crappy words in the source lists, but once I have edited the lists down, it should improve.

Does something like this come with a case, and if so, how the hell would you carry it? Its a bit of silliness like Elwood's multi-stringed beast in ZZ Top.

It's a fake of a fake.

It appears to be aimed at the kind of people who think smoking would make them look cool.* *it doesn't — it would make them look like they stink.

Quartz Going On — Marvin Gaye

Only A Prawn In Their Game — Bob Dylan

Just googled it — There's at least one band with that name

I was at the event last night — you can see the top of my orange/yellow bandana at the far left of the pic, it was a very enjoyable way to spend an evening. I've never played a sandberg, but after hearing Holger I will definitely check one out. It was particularly refreshing to hear Yolanda speak about her approach when she played sessions where she expected there to be a bass part already written which she then interpreted. i.e. if you write an original bass part, you should get a co-credit and royalties.

Good tip, but I'm lazy so I'd check out the colour names at https://www.valsparpaint.co.uk/paint-colours/ Anaemic Moon, Scrubbed Cauliflower, Poached Smoke, Snowman's Bone

I used to know a band called Party Seven. There weren't seven people in the band though.

I’ll be sure not to include any French bus stops in my generator webapp.

I've made an online list editing app today, which will make it very easy to delete words from my long word lists, so as long as I have a signal I can easily edit the lists whilst waiting for a train, sitting on the train or otherwise with time on my hands. Not sure when the longer lists will be ready to be incorporated into the name generator, but I might add an option, so it can be set to use the current standard word lists or the much longer expanded lists
