Ain't Nobody - Chaka Khan

Didn't really know him other than by rep, but listening to those two makes me wanna go find some more. Tighter than a gnats chuff and right in the pocket. Damn shame. A

TPOH's second album (One Sided Story) was my soundtrack to 1990. Their first, Love Junk, did the same two years earlier. A

Nailing jelly to the ceiling is easier than welding galvanised pipe. My hat's off to you if you're any good at it! A

Floating in the wind - Hudson Ford

What? Are you quite mad sir? If we start down this path they'll be out of the kitchen and wearing shoes and trousers and things! It's a short hop from there to letting them in pubs and giving 'em the vote. A

As too is slamdancing (the clue's in the name, surely) A

Well, that's reason enough for me. Sign me up! A

Indeed. Still, he got a good 'un with FwD at least. A

I'm a good boy I am!!

I stand corrected sir. Yes, Jody & Julie Turner, Tracey Lamb on bass, later replaced by Dee O'Malley (just been pulling vinyl out of my sideboard)

I always had a bit of a thing for her baby sis Tracey (drummer). She was proper jailbait in the early days (13 when the band started, if you can believe it), but still a couple of years older than me. Any idea what they're doing now? A

Yeah, I hit 50 a couple of months back and it's bothered me a lot less than I thought it would TBH. As you say bud, it's just another number. That said though, it's the biggest one so far (But also the smallest it's going to be from here on, too) A

In the same way as getting a couple of toes into a pair of kiddies size 7 shoes can be classed as 'wearing' them, I guess you're not wrong A

Most of mine could have been chopped up, shredded and burned and still left me with change from £200 A

That's why it was called the GT40 - it was 40 inches high. [Caine] Not a lotta people know that [/Caine/] A

[quote name='Cato' timestamp='1505244112' post='3370513'] Pretty much every band I've felt strongly enough about to hate I've come around to liking, or at least apreciating, in the end. On the other hand, indifference lasts for ever. [/quote] This may be the most profound thing I've ever read on here! My hat is off to you sir! A

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1503038463' post='3355175'] It's Rodrigo Gonzalez from the German band "Die Ärzte" - (the Doctors). ....they are known for having a sense of humour... [/quote] Oh those wacky Germans with their antics eh?

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1503165664' post='3356202'] The jam that fizzled out eh? [/quote] Mmmmm fizzly jammm....... Where can I get some??? Anyhoo, welcome along, sorta neighbour A

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1502385954' post='3351156'] I will be singing and giwristing [/quote] Doing what, already? A

[quote name='converse320' timestamp='1502297879' post='3350558'] Re amps, if she's like my daughter she'll prefer a beaten up second hand 80s trace elliot combo rather than something new. [/quote] An old Trace has a certain 'cool' factor that very few modern amps can get near to. Unfortunately for your daughter, they also have a certain 'heavier than the factory they were built in' factor too, so unless she's either a weightlifter or dating one they may be impractical, especially with the newer breed of superlight amps now on the market. A

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1501840749' post='3347685'] Brilliant! Just what I needed, thanks! [/quote] That would appear to be short-circuiting the DC input to itself via the top strip of the Veroboard guys - careful how you approach this one.

Hey, John P, what's the pinkish paisley patterned pedal (ooh, check out Mr Alliteration) just right of centre in that pic? Looks dead cool A
