Sad news - I learned so much from this guy, what a groove, what a player

I've stumbled on quite a few of these recently - I think they're brilliant, there's so much great playing and production. Favourite ones so far are Eric Clapton soloed on While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Ringo on Oh Darling

I've a MIJ '75R Jazz, maple with roundwounds, and a MIJ '72R P, rosewood with flats. I don't think I can choose one over the other, I need 'em both.

I was going to go, but couldn't get kid cover. It would only have sent me down an unnecessary GAS spiral, which I couldn't remotely justify at the moment

Big fan, not really of anything past The Wall, but just been through a huge Animals phase again. I did a 45 minute Floyd set for a mate's party a few weeks ago, was terrific fun - did Dogs, Astronomy Domine, Shine On VI-VIII, Run Like Hell - last time we did Sheep, Money, Have a Cigar - nothing I'd call boring, because even when it's simple, it's still got to drive it... (Next time will be Pigs, One of these Days and Arnold Layne...) I've also been listening to a lot of the live 70's stuff - the Wembley 74 concert (on the remastered DSOTM and WYWH albums) is incredible (especially, well, all of it - the early version of Dogs / You've Got To be Crazy is superb, and the DSOTM is the best version I've heard), and also bootlegs from the 77 Animals tour (especially Oakland). It's all on YouTube, amazing. (The drummer we used is an old friend from my jazz/funk band days - he noted how after working through 5-string Warwicks and Musicmen, 15 years later I'm back to a 4-string Fender P with a pick. Sounds great for the gig...)

Please delete, thanks

Great basses - I'm still playing mine 20 years on (but I don't remember them being £600, I thought £3-400) And I measured mine against my strat, and I think it is indeed based on a strat body (originally made from spare ones, I heard once)

Piper at the Gates of Bump...

Dark Side of the Bump

I'm playing a set of Floyd songs on 4th Feb in London for a mate's party, and the keyboard player now doesn't think he can make it. Anyone in a PF tribute band not playing that night who could loan me their keyboard player for the night? Should be a fun set, got some good players otherwise... Fingers crossed...

Do many other fuzzes have a clean blend? That looks a useful option

That does look good...
