  1. Strictly speaking kilograms aren't a measure of weight, but of mass. (If your wife is anything like mine though, I wouldn't advise pointing that out to her)
  2. Spanish meteorological records suggest that the major part of the country's rainfall occurs in the mountains.
  3. I've loved the mandolin since seeing the lads back in the early 70s. Jacka and Rod (Clements, not Stewart 😉) are a couple of my musical heroes.
  4. They probably also have a marketing department who understand nothing.
  5. Jacka's mandolin solo at the end of Maggie May always does it for me.
  6. My daughter got an Ibanez Mikro when she was 9 and it's still going strong a couple of years later. Amp Instrument Cable (may be included with the bass ) A decent strap (wide enough to spread the weight of the bass and not too long.). A tuner
  7. If you're using it for session work, make sure you read the Chartwell
  8. How about meeting them Medway?
  9. Gotta love a Rye sense of humour.
  10. To misquote Tom Lehrer, "Danny has been a particular idol of mine since chidbirth". I would happily pay to listen to him tuning up.
  11. Daphne's Flight at Kings Place and The Bonzos at Shepherds Bush. Still hoping for Loudon Wainwright, Suzzie Roche and Lucy Wainwright-Roche in September.
  12. For the difference you could get one of these as well as the Squier. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beatbass.htm Edit: Or you could if they weren't sold out. Sorry 😕
  13. I don't think Mark worked for SBL but he's mates with Scott and certainly used to turn up on some of his videos. Geoff Chalmers (of this parish) used to work for SBL but moved off to start Discover Double Bass https://courses.discoverdoublebass.com/courses I've not done any of the courses from that site, but Geoff is a top bloke and knows his stuff.
  14. There's a few people on ebay who would say you can.🙂
  15. Cornettos don't have sticks 🙂
  16. Does it play like butter? 😊 In a more serious vein, one of the first things I look for is location.
  17. Is that the one with Leonard Rossiter on vocals? 🙂
  18. The New Main Street Singers or possibly The Folksmen (although they did actually do some performances)
  19. Just to confirm, I did mean "pony and trap".🙂
  20. I was at that one, but checking the line up, I can't believe I have no recollection of Devo. (I do remember that Starship were pony though).
  21. Bill Evans Trio - Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby Bill Evans -piano Scott Lafaro -bass Paul Motian - drums
  22. My daughter and I had a try out of these at the LBGS. Really rather nice. The pickups on the ones we tried were monstrous.
