There's only so many frogs' legs a man can eat ...

No, no, no! He didn't say "wrench" ...

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1465722793' post='3070409'] @HappyJack - What's the weight of that Westone, please? How's the balance for playing when standing up? [/quote] Weight = just shy of 8lbs, maybe nearer 7.5lbs. I have lighter basses than that (SGC Nanyo Bass Collection SB320 for example, or my Mike Lull P-bass) but if you're looking for a combination of low weight with whacky design then that's the best I can offer. Neckdive = not that much. More than a Precision but way less than a T-bird. With basses this light, it's worth remembering that a 'sticky' strap (like my neoprene Comfort Strapp) makes far more difference, and that the weight of the lead looped through your strap and into the socket again makes more difference than it would with an 11lb bass. Above all, it is - of course - headless! This is at The Horns in Watford, sound was appalling, performance not much better, but at least you can see how it looks on stage. http://youtu.be/L6OLY_OyFu4

Whether or not something is hefty is, fundamentally, a matter of hubricity.

So ... after a gig at the Dog & Duck, what do you do? I've done the hamburger thing. I've done the kebab thing. Now? Well my favourite is Honey & Banana cake (carbs, sugar high, moist) but that's hard to get these days. So mainly it's Sainsbury's Ginger Cake.

Unfortunately he's spelt it wrong. He's written PCGC where it should be PMSL.

Give him some drumsticks ...

Loved the show, and great work by The Caffreys (well done Michael), but it left me wanting to know more about the Acid-Bhangra-Rock outfit from Peterborough, Kissmet. At their initial piece of the show when they were rehearsing I thought they sounded great, really interesting, original, and a great beat. At the Sheffield battle of the bands their version of Sunshine Of Your Love was strictly UK pub rock ... well-played and they're clearly a good band, but all the bhangra was gone and with it the originality. What was that all about?

I'm glad you didn't use the Axe to do it ...

Not mention to [i][b]Dust Til Dawn[/b][/i], a house cleaning firm near Ipswich. In fact, Til Dawn is looking increasingly like a name you might want to change to something more Google-friendly. A quick search reveals that even that awful band I auditioned for come up WAY before you guys. But at least they seem to have ditched their appalling drummer. Incidentally, who knew about this film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_%27til_Dawn Presumably this was Matthew Perry's debut?

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1465630622' post='3069711'] [b]Hubris + Hutzpah[/b] .... if anybody is looking for a new band name (1% royalty non-negotiable) [/quote] But what if you were to spell Chutzpah correctly?

Looks pretty good. For metal.

Hubris is always followed by Nemesis. Does that help at all?

Tried listening to that cut of Get Down On It ... I have no clue which of the sounds was supposed to be a 'tenor bass', something of an oxymoron I'd have thought.

Come on Barbie, let's go party ...

Is that being stated as a fact or merely an opinion?

Or check your band's bank balance, then change the name to Til Dawn Broke.

So essentially they heard his song [i][b]Photograph[/b][/i], and they thought, "[i]Wow! That's [b]Amazing[/b]![/i]"

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1465467240' post='3068453'] Both the videos were recorded with your Zoom Q2. [/quote] Oops.

[quote name='zbd1960' timestamp='1465416499' post='3068098'] Very good sound on that - I pushed the output from the PC through an external DAC connected to hi-fi, very good bass. [/quote] Silvie does all the band videos for the bands I play in. That camera she uses has an excellent microphone, and always does justice to the sound of the band.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1465465405' post='3068421'] Amazing how he came up with the Strat, just like that, fully-formed and apparently out of nowhere! [/quote] ??? I always thought the Strat was the bastard love-child of a Precision and a Telecaster ...
