I thought it was a skin disease until I moved here. Now I realise it's more a state of mind.

I have sat in on pit performances of Matilda the Musical, just watching the band, for fun. The one time I did it back in Stratford, so long ago now, when it was "Matilda, a Musical" in the tin shed that is/was the Courtyard, when it was just a wee little show made with love and sellotape, I was amazed to watch the interaction between the MD's conducting, with that typical waving of the arms to more or less indicate a beat, and how the different musicians all interpreted those movements in different ways, due, they said afterwards, to the peculiarities of their particular instrument (cello, horns, flute, drums, etc.). To me it [i]looked[/i] an absolute chaos, and I couldn't follow any of it, but it [i]sounded[/i] perfect. Music really is a foreign language.

Not mine. I've just seen it on Gumtree. http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/mapex-drum-kit-available-for-free-just-turn-up-and-collect-it/1056794648

Graeme sold me a thing and it arrived safely and it's really good.

Dirty, filthy cake.

Yeah. Hookers love cake.

Some of the questions don't have enough options. There doesn't seem to be much difference between questions 1 and 2. If there is a difference, it could perhaps be made clearer. Question 4 should include an "I don't know" or an "I'm not sure (because I don't really understand about 720/480p)" Question 5 should include an "not sure" or "depends on the content" option, or something. In question 6 the two options aren't mutually exclusive and I would argue are poorly worded. And I answered a couple, then clicked through without answering any others, to read the questions, then apparently clicked to the end, and was unable to go back, so I haven't answered it "properly". Hope that's of some help.

But you surely couldn't say that Trevor Horn or any other innovator [i]relied[/i] on machines... but rather they unleashed them, tapped their potential, no? Got creative and produced amazing music that no one had thought of before.

Well, I solved the problem. This is what I did to solve it, in case it helps others who read this: I took the bass to bits, looked at the wiring, saw that it all seemed good, wondered about de-soldering it all and rewiring it up again and replacing the pot at the same time, decided against doing any of that, put everything back together again having basically done nothing, and the problem has now gone and it sounds great and works perfectly. Thanks for all your help everyone.
