Phil Adams

My lifelong hero. Nuff said.

Last week's gig had aggro written all over it. The pub had been an established music venue, but the landlord explained to us that he stopped live bands because it was too much grief, but he had made an exception for us because we wanted to do it to get something on the CV and for the practice (ie we did it cheap). One rather drunk looking regular kept frowning and complaining to the landlord while we were setting up, after the pool table was moved out of the way. When we started playing, most were dancing, including the "doubter" and we got invited back. Result.

Sorry, is this an advert for a "hit man"?

My only tip would be; Stick with it. Wish I could BTW

Oh no! RIP BB

I had one in the late 80's in black with the red flash. Had a rosewood board though and no micro tuning. Seem to remember it weighed a ton!

I sure as hell ain't no dancer, but playing bass I sway with the beat (sometimes, and embarassingly). Snapping fingers, nodding head, headbanging, it's all the same correlation in it's own way.

I suppose this is going off topic really, sorry, but I was enthralled by that Renaissance track, I didn't realise they were THAT good. Annie is just awesome, and that bass, whatever tone it is, is just brilliant.

Hank "Starvin" Marvin was inspired to write Apache after watching helicopters at work.

A jazz chord, to say, I ruv you...... Of course it could avoid potential copyright issues if there were slightly askew.

No, can't be. RIP

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1426587704' post='2719490'] After the massive 1975 hit by the UKs 10cc, a US band formerly known as 5cc quickly changed their name to The Loving Spoonfull. [/quote] Very clever, I get it if nobody else does. (the gag, not the 5-10cc that is).

Just to update, Spoke to Stringbusters yesterday and they rushed me out a set of LaBella flats which I've just fitted. Lovely smooth strings, and fantastic service from Stringbusters.

For once I agree.

Respect from me.

Can anybody recommend a good supplier and make of double ball flats please. Rounds seems fairly easy to track down, but less so for the flats. TIA

Gorgeous. Not everybody cup of tea I'm sure, but it does make some other shapes look a little dull IMO.

And before that "Luke Embryo" and before that "The Luke in his fathers Eye"

The Beatles never ACTUALLY lived in a Yellow Submarine, though Ringo did have a diving bell.

Quicksilver Messenger Service were signed to the Mercury label.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1425920443' post='2712248'] Does any one remember the court case brought by a rival band-costume designer who claimed that the girls' skirts were a rip-off? [/quote] Yes, I remember that, mainly though, because my sixpenny shares in Velcro briefly reached 7/6pence before the banking crisis of the late 1980s.

Bucks Fizz were all beer drinkers. (Have we had that one yet? I can't remember and I ain't gonna read through 10 million posts to find out!) SO THERE!
