The engineer was a guy called Roger Bowden and he was married to Ian Curtis's widow Debbie. Their daughter was only small, back then and was doing our heads in playing the theme from "Thomas the Tank Engine" over and over again. She was however the spit of him, very disturbing. After the first day of recording, we stayed in a lovely house, as provided by Roger. I think it was Debbies Mum who welcomed us and showed us to our shared room. Later the next day, we were told that we had stayed in the very room where Ian had commited suicide.[/quote] I agree about natalie,she does look a lot like her father. She is a good photographer.

I think joy divisions live stuff is amazing,ian curtis was a fantastic frontman,i dont think a lot of people have really listened properly to joy division,it took me a few times to realise how raw and agressive the stuff was,no love lost is awesome,especially that nazi imagery about the house of dolls at the start. Ians voice is so guttural and screaming.

Head sharing is a no though. No. Plus she bats for the other team. Plus I have a girlfriend, who if she were to read this would not be best pleased that I left that piece of info til last. Think the issue is resolved though. Explained that in the flat is fine, but it's not leaving the flat unless I'm present. Also mentioned that the P may soon be on its way out and the Jazz will have to go for a new nut soon, so she'll need to sort out her own gear.[/quote] Even better maybe you could get a 4 way thing going,you the bass and the 2 girls! Dont believe that riding the other bus nonsense.

[quote name='SJA' post='434586' date='Mar 14 2009, 02:49 PM']didn't he join Interpol? ...and his kids are in Editors, The Rakes and White Lies.....[/quote] No he only had a daughter and she is a phtographer,i assume you were trying to make a joke?

I always wonder what would have happened if ian curtis had lived and gone over to the u.s.

Welease wodger!

Is she fit! would you be more likely to get into her knickers if you lent it?

Tell her to get her own bass,if shes serious she will.

Has anyone tried the fretless jazz with the duncan pickups?

I wish people would stop making remakes in the film and music industry.

Stick it on,string it up,wait a few days,then get a felt pen and mark either side of the strings. Take the strings off and gently file a small groove inbetween the pen marks. How much do you file? Just use your judgement. Dead easy

I bought cest chic from a crappy little record shop when i was a student getting income support/pocket money from a little shop in blaydon tyne and wear,this was in the 90s and this was the original record still in its polythene and it changed my life. I still have it with the full version of i want your love,and still think this album is amazing.

Should do and make it sing a bit more,more mass in contact with wood,screw it down well.

I hope nile rogers pulls these hicksters.

If you want to get into this type of thing get yourself a half decent soundcard.Its worth it.

practice hard if you want to get anywhere good. Otherwise get a fishing rod. Best of luck.

Leave it alone.Mark my words it will be collectable one day. I always keep stuff like this original,as you never know whats going to happen with the market,i would definately not circuit bend it,If you want to get into that go to a cheapy shop and get some kids musical toys to do it on.

Yes its me the one and only Jason King,that job is as good as mine,must remember to have my white tux dry cleaned tommorow.

Love exciting and new,come aboard we,re expecting you.

Can i where a big 70s bow tie like the guy on the loveboat?

If i buy a bass off anyone here the first thing i will do is change the strings.

I try to imagine im tapping out drumming on the table when i do this just light little touchs get picked up,by the pickups i suppose its just down to how nimble your fingers are. Just imagine you are trying to play a harmonic but dont let it ring out.
