I'm a Victoria sponge man myself, boring, predictable, maybe but you can't go wrong with a classic.

No, don't. I tried it and found myself branded an apostate, glued to the underside of a donkey and banished from the West Lothian Women's Institute Cake and Coffee Jamboree.

Welcome @SamGreenfield89

God gave rock and roll to you, (no he didn’t) gave rock and roll to you (no) Put it in the soul of everyone (not in mine, nor, I suspect, in anyone else’s) Do you know what you want? (Yes) you don't know for sure (I do) You don't feel right, (I do) you can't find a cure (not looking, I feel ok thanks) And you're gettin' less than what you're lookin' for (ambiguous cobblers) You don't have money (enough to get by) or a fancy car (happy with a Cortina) And you're tired of wishin' on a falling star (no, still do that given the opportunity) You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar (I don’t have to, in fact quite the opposite, I’d rather put my junk in a blender) God gave rock and roll to you, (no he didn’t) gave rock and roll to you (no) Gave rock and roll to everyone, oh yeah (no he didn’t (oh no)) God gave rock and roll to you, (no he didn’t) gave rock and roll to you (no) Put it in the soul of everyone (put it in the ahh soul of everyone more like) "Now listen" (no)

From the Nite Club?

He is the epitome of my idea of bass playing excellence.

Sir Horace was a superb bass player, great songs to play to.

There's a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same It might well be a thinly disguised dig at post-war suburbia and the inherent conformism of the vast majority of American citizens but green, pink, blue and yellow boxes, made of ticky tacky or not, are easily recognised as distinct and very different entities.

Zig-a-zig-ah. Do what Spice Girls? Pay attention at the back, obviously...

I think ‘Stick your band up yer ar53’ would have been a more appropriate response.

The retired best of the best unfortunately.

I think, by far, the most important thing about playing acoustic basses is, oddly enough, actually really uncoloured amplification

This doesn’t surprise me having worked for a band who had a run in or two with The Alarm, suffice to say The Alarm had hairdos that drove usually tranquil people to violence.

*shudder*

Chuck a turnip at it.

Ah, got you. I've had a look at these online, I must admit I am skeptical about anything that uses the word enhance. Having said that it does seem to do something to the tone, I think the only way forward is to try one out, difficult I know in the recent circumstances but there are so many variables with things like this, your playing, your guitar. Do you feel there is something lacking in the instrument you are using?

Yes, that alongside sitting crosslegged on cushions in front of a Korg MS10 and an ARP Odyssey, it was highly unlikely to catch on.

Lemmy wanted to call his new post-Hawkwind band Bastard, after due consideration he settled on Mötorhead. I was once in an early synth band called Batrachophrenoboocosmomachia, we didn't get far.

I think I'm about to give birth to twins...

*shudder*

...and that transaction isn’t as smutty as it sounds, Matron. 😁

It is a myth that anyone who refers to their bass as 'she' isn't a complete w4nk3r.

Ftfy.

Don’t hold your breath.

Bodyrez?
