  2. [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1445591924' post='2892584'] ..mustn't forget HR Giger as well, that ELP cover is fairly iconic. [/quote] Seems the original paintings were stolen some years ago. The story of the ELP's artwork is [url="http://www.hrgiger.com/music/emerson2.htm"]here[/url].
  3. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1445513508' post='2892017'] Interesting though that Storm/Hipgnosis ventured into design for so many other styles of music ... [/quote] [url="http://wimwords.com/the-hipgnosis-album-cover-gallery/"]Hipgnosis Gallery[/url]
  4. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1445523983' post='2892133'] When did she add the second 't' to her surname? [/quote] She picked up a t in the park.
  5. I really do think Hurricane Smith should let Morrissey's stuff die.

  9. found this blurb on line (did he ever even touch the bass?): [quote] "A bass made to Police specifications. It's a faithful limited edition reproduction of Sting's trusty 1953 Precision Bass with his signature in a block inlay at the 12th fret. Contoured lightweight ash body with single-ply pickguard. Maple neck and fretboard with a 7.25" radius, a vintage 2-saddle bridge, and a vintage single-coil pickup. Enjoy this re-creation of the P Bass from the early days and pay homage to a great player at the same time. Includes Fender gig bag."[/quote] and this gem, in an interview: [quote] SB: What kind of strings do you use? Sting: The ones that are given to me for free. When you’re rich and famous people want to give you things. It’s a wonderful irony that amuses me. And now I’ve run out of wisdom of charisma. But if you want to know more about my equipment I can make sure you get to speak to my Danny, who handles that.[/quote]
  10. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1445080885' post='2888651'] Wel,l that's 150,000 plus views in less than a year. Pretty appalling really that people have nothing better to do than read this carp..... [/quote] It's just a red herring.
  11. Velcro life is specified as 'high' for Nylon and 'medium' for Polyester, whatever that means! It could be a cheaper counterfeit brand. [url="http://bit.ly/1MqfORL"]http://bit.ly/1MqfORL[/url]
  12. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1444806437' post='2886105'] 4003 people must have complained about it [/quote] Other numbers of complainants are available.
  13. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1444647634' post='2884689'] Frank Zippo was a jobbing San Diego based musician in the early 60's. In his autobiography years later, he conceded that changing his name was a necessity to get ahead in the industry. [/quote] giving up the bicycle also helped a lot.

  14. [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1444511051' post='2883817'] weren't Trio that Breakway group that Hobnob'd with a Viscount? [/quote] being a boy band, they won't be performing the kitkat shuffle
  15. The nut came off the output jack on my HB Prog 4 on Saturday. I screwed it back on, it fell off again the next day. The nut is very thin and very few exposed threads on the socket for it to grip. I removed the back cover and the jack plate. There is just enough slack in the wiring to pull the socket out. There is a second nut behind the plate - I screwed this back a few turns and re-assembled holding the socket to tighten the nut. Added a few drops of nail varnish to the thread. A point to watch out for. My fourth jack socket problem in 12 months...
  16. Probably need to make your own, if possible. There is a cheap looking F268Q connector available here: [url="http://cpc.farnell.com/unbranded/f268q/plug-audio-din-5-pin-180-r-ang/dp/AR70545?ost=F268Q"]http://cpc.farnell.c...70545?ost=F268Q[/url] or here: [url="http://www.audiospares.com/home.php?cat=139"]http://www.audiospar...ome.php?cat=139[/url] When Midi was invented, midi connected pedal boards were probably not anticipated. Perhaps BC'er obbm can help?
  17. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1444296234' post='2881903'] I think the technology would need to take a step up for that to work in my case ... [/quote] They already do holograms. Don't be lazy, you'll have to wiggle the card yourself.
  18. [quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1444163214' post='2880860'] I read this earlier today and I'm still smiling about it. A gold star for you... [/quote] Another star for Richard, I don't know how he does it!
  19. Prog 6 string DEKO. https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_650_black_progressiv_deko.htm?o=6&ref=mal_a_6&search=1444144717
  20. Progressive 6 string on mobile site now [url="https://m.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_650_black_progressiv_deko.htm?o=6&ref=mal_a_6&search=1444144717"]https://m.thomann.de...arch=1444144717[/url]
  21. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1444134700' post='2880529'] The coffee that Jack Bruce is nice with Cream and a biscuit from the Ginger Baker. It deserved a round of applause, but only a short one, so it was somewhat embarrassing when Eric Clapton. [/quote] Pete knows just how to roast coffee beans, 400 degrees and they turn Brown.
  22. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1444049060' post='2879752'] Incidentally what happens when a new candidate for inclusion rocks up at St Peters Gate? [/quote] They are greeted by Benny The Bouncer, an old prog rocker.
