[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1444328349' post='2882335'] They co-ordinate nicely with your living area! [/quote] Or is it the other way around?

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1443774212' post='2877526'] "It looks just like a Telefunken U47..." [/quote] ".... with leather?"

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1444160480' post='2880818'] This is the best bass tone I've ever heard although this is live, actual song starts about 1m 30s in [media]http://youtu.be/4wsd-vRaVHE[/media] [/quote] Yep. And JJ Burnell's sound on "Peaches", same gig. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUoIclrvsPQ"]https://www.youtube....h?v=TUoIclrvsPQ[/url]

I did the complete opposite once. I went to see the Dave Weckl band at a club in Berlin (I live there). I was friends with the club's owners (mortals like myself play there too sometimes) and was having a drink around the corner from their table. They kept popping round the corner and asking me to join them at their table with John Patitucci. Not knowing what to say and not wanting to bug the guy, I repeatedly declined. At some point the band members left and the manager came round and said "You *rse, we were struggling to make small-talk in English and he (Patitucci) was right up for a gab and a beer:" DOH!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1444212174' post='2881096'] Well it's active - so full range of tones - lush, deep and rich tones so can do both Jazz and P bass - does a few more too. [/quote] I hope this isn't a daft question, but does it make Alembicy type noises too?

I saw them all backing James Taylor in summer. A dream come true. Sorry to hear it's sold out. Have you tried Ebay small ads? I live in Germany, but here you can always find tickets being sold on, on Ebay. Usual rules apply, of course. Best bet is paypal or pick the tickets up in person. People aren't likely to do you over when you know where they live. Sorry if that sounds grim and menacing but... well, you know what I mean. Aaah, I've just realised you're based in France, aren't you? So, Ebay's no use... sorry

I can't be of any help, I'm afraid, but am curious. How does it sound?

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1444136486' post='2880555'] Robert Fripp wears Ray Davies's old glasses, because he likes to play with Kink rims on. [/quote] Ouch!

I kept hoping (for his sake) that this was one of those shreds where someones dubbed cackhanded playing over the original audio.... ..., but noooooooo 👎

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1443622963' post='2876346'] Actually he's more like P!nk. [/quote] Rubbish, he's nothin' like 'er.

I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel. 'Hurt' - Nine Inch Nails (the Johnny Cash Version is also ace)

Well I'm well late, but here's something well worth the bump. What a super nice and incredibly inspiring/modest bloke. Like DRAX, I took a quick look at this with no intention of watching it all and 55 mins later, there I still was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNACNx5UlR8

Phallic? Oh behave!

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1443480200' post='2875210'] Paul Simon was a big photographer [/quote] A fine composer and musician, I'll grant you, but he isn't a BIG anything.

Hi there, welcome aboard. I'm in Germany too, in Berlin. Whereabouts are you? Cheers, Paul.

I take it shooting them wouldn't be an option, then?

[quote name='2 left thumbs' timestamp='1443144404' post='2872653'] Apparently Noel and Liam Gallagher actually share the same eye brow [/quote] ... And were, in fact, shortlisted for the roles of Oddbod and Oddbod Junior in the classic 12th Carry On film, Carry on Screaming.

I don't know if it's already appeared in the thread (too lazy to check all 5 pages), but how about Barber's Adagio for Strings. Often over-used but still beautiful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=izQsgE0L450

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. Good luck finding a solution. P.

Have you considered adoption?

Thanks, I'll try that. Any idea why this helps? BTW, I've been thinking of splurging out on some La Bella's. Any tips, suggestions, alternatives?
