Happy Jack

Shame the OP is in Edinburgh. I have both a Crazy 8 and a Crazy 88 (the only one in the UK, I believe) and I honestly think they're ideal for small-sized DB rigs. If you're going to be down South any time soon, Razze, drop me a PM and come and try them.

Genius. Sheer genius.

Yup, pity poor Norman Greenbaum ...

Don't really associate Fender with Sterlings ...

Photos, or it didn't happen.

Now these guys are onto something. Or maybe just on something. https://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/ancient-temple-looking-for-priestess-bard-and-minstrel-t1135590.html

If he wants to cover his @rse then he'd better off with a Bongo ...

And it's all the wrong way round, too ...

That's exactly what I said to those two drunks who nearly knocked over the PA stand ...

I'm struggling to understand how this relates to playing Brown Sugar down at the Dog & Duck ...

I like that a lot. Not for me either musically or socially, but at least you can see exactly where they're coming from.

Use of English, dear boy. It's possible to work out what he means if you read it properly. Notice the plurals, as also the lack of any mention of vocals or BVs. If you're spoiling for an argument, do go somewhere else.

If you two don't start behaving, I'll bloody report the pair of you! Now what are you wittering on about?

This is for playing in your lounge? Check out the Crazy 8 instead of the OneTen.

If I asked my son the same question (he's 23) I'd get a list of completely indigestible drum'n'bass outfits ...

"Inspired by Pino Palladino’s bass used extensively with “D’Angelo” and “The Who” I wanted to do a recreation of his Bass but with much more attention to detail and no expenses to spare. Find below a video of Pino playing “Brown Sugar” using the referred instrument: https://youtu.be/hu1JVTvzzxM" So that's why I posted a link to an 8-minute YouTube in which there is only a single 1/4-second glimpse of Pino at 0:18 (before the song even starts) and where the audio is pretty obviously not a live recording by someone in the crowd but the usual tidied-up and improved version. But not to worry, that glimpse is still enough to show that my attention to detail and lack of spared expenses wasn't enough to prevent me fitting the wrong neck to the bass. Doubles all round ...

They only give you charts if you're not a reader ...

Oh do stop ...

The theme to Get Carter. Seriously.

I don't think that even rates a 'quirky'. It's more 'heart-stoppingly ugly'.

I'll certainly be far more careful in future about which kazoo I pick up ...
