    Roxy Music, what a great band, just properly unique.
  2. Frank Blank
    I like undamped drums too, most of my favourite drummers play drums that ring.

    Excellent, Queen were quite formative for me too, even though I shouldn’t admit to that as a punk. Queen were a band my brother played me a lot of before the punk thing happened. Actually, thinking about it, They were one of the bands I just carried on listening to through the upheavals of punk.

    Second line of my CV there... Weird Uncle who smells a bit and keeps goats... ...genius.

    This is a good analogy. I’m trying to think of a song I like which involves a bass tone I don’t like and I can’t, apart from everything by Level 42 obviously.

    Oh bollards, I’m always doing that, duh.

    I’m already in hot water. It’s funny how John Deacon never actually springs to mind but is such a vital part of that band, what a dude.

    Bill Bruford.

    If you are playing Level 42 covers it’s probably time to shut a piano lid on your fingers.

    Actually this is making me perhaps modify my thoughts, I am not a specialist in any field really but I am savvy enough sometimes to just know when something (perhaps something I am not knowledgeable enough to comprehend or single out) is wrong... ...audiences would perhaps experience greater positive emotion through listening to the music but not identify the tone per se? ...Hmmmmm, yes, thought provoking.

    We had quite a lengthy discussion about similar matters here...

    Something to make them groove. Speaking as a text book self-centred dullard I think the subtleties of tone are lost on the majority or punters.

    Theatrical As Apposed To Forsythe ...is going to be the title of my autobiography and the first line of my CV from now on.

    They don't interfere with the huge range of wigs I don during gigs either...

    Very. You can get all sorts of branded expensive versions but I'm good at losing these so at that price it's no biggie. Perfectly functional.

    I use this... https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-Sunglasses-Neoprene-Stretchy-Spectacle/dp/B009AS1H4G/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_200_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Q0ARP3WW98GW6QXWPKYK

    A good point and well made. Someone set fire to the pianist so I can put him out... with p***.
  18. Frank Blank
    There was a piano that needed p***ing in.

    What these people fail to understand is Bass is King. Guitarists have to do all sorts of flouncy virtuosic nonsense to get their sorry point across, there is nothing like standing at the back locked in with the drummer and fully realising that the reason that audience is dancing is nothing to do with the 6 string hair farmer but all to do with the deep, satisfying groove you are laying out there. Guitarists? I’ve s*** ‘em.

    I have not experienced this, but then I've never been in a band with tnucs.

    The luthier who sets up my guitars showed me this, the benefits of such a seemingly small action are immense.

    +1

    I’ve had a couple of electro acoustic Crafters, great guitars for the money GLWTS.

    Floyd Lawson and Vivian Weathers who share the bass playing on Linton Kwesi Johnson’s first three albums... Dread, Beat an’ Blood Forces of Victory Bass Culture ...especially the last two. Simple, austere, sparse playing but just perfect.
