[quote name='ashevans09' post='491482' date='May 18 2009, 03:42 PM']Perfect game plan. Nothing but respect for them [/quote] I remember the ads when the band was being formed. The fat blond guy was left over from when the management formed Busted, so they formed McFly around him. The ads were in The Stage and the NME. I was way over the age limit but thought it might have been a laugh to turn up.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='491475' date='May 18 2009, 03:34 PM']Hard-Fi? [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_of_cctv"]Stars Of CCTV[/url] is the album that I think you are referring to. S.P.[/quote] that's the fella!

re. the bit in the OP about home recordings. The band with 'CCTV' in one of their album titles, lists where the album tracks were recorded, and it was mostly home done, but professionally mastered. There will always be exceptions to the rule, and new bands will make it. And this will still give the false glimmer of hope to the rest of us.

Just watched So Hard To Beat, the program about bands from Northern Ireland. When they were doing the Stiff Little Fingers, their bassist has what looks like a white Guild B-30something. Looks well sweet.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='489960' date='May 16 2009, 05:23 PM']Aye i thought it was the Zoot shape like mine, the one shared by the Chaser, Performer et al. A quick look on the site and Mike has all their production basses under the Zoot banner including the Fendery one. The Boudica was just called the Iceni Boudica though i think Confusing stuff![/quote] The Funkmeister isn't a Zoot. I think mine is a custom Zoot. Is there a thread for Mike's basses in the porn section? If not who's gonna start one?

[quote name='Eight' post='489762' date='May 16 2009, 01:04 PM']I really don't care if you want to consider it advertising, an article or a description of one man's experience - it was fascinating to read and thank you very much for posting it Kiwi. If you ever get invited to some other workshops, make sure you post some info on them too.[/quote] +1

innocent until proven guilty. Come on, give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='489747' date='May 16 2009, 12:49 PM']An old Jazz (in showroom condition) with a supposed history going for £2100 He had bought all the parts in the last month or so, all clearly visible in his feedback I sent him a message explaining how hilarious it was! [/quote] speechless

Another shout for the for sale section here. Go on have a browse with no obligation to buy, but wipe your feet first .

I missed it. What was it?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='489419' date='May 16 2009, 12:01 AM']Yes, John needs to come and close this one down, too. Perhaps we ought to have a Victor Wooten Appreciation Thread pinned, only for people who actually appreciate him?[/quote] Fair enough, but I think peoples opinions on why they dislike, are just as valid so long as they don't deteriorate in to a slanging match. Contrary views are needed, The Home of Deep Discussion, and all that.

[quote name='leschirons' post='489302' date='May 15 2009, 08:30 PM']This is all getting out of hand again. If it helps to diffuse things., I think the baby Jesus, bunny rabbits and puppies are very nice.[/quote] so you hate the adult Jesus?

[quote name='bassace' post='487765' date='May 14 2009, 12:19 PM']When I sang in a cathedral choir, a long time ago, I came across a breve. I threw it back in.[/quote]

[quote name='The Funk' post='458277' date='Apr 9 2009, 12:25 PM']Still makes sense there. There are six 'eighth' notes in the bar.[/quote] yes, but what are they an eighth of? An eighth of the bar? An eighth of the beat? Calling them eighth's is redundant, they are only eighth notes in 4/4. [quote name='SteveO' post='457392' date='Apr 8 2009, 02:06 PM']there's only 6 names in common usage for gods sake Semibreve, minim, crotchet, quaver, semiquaver and demisemiquaver corresponding to whole, half, quarter, 8th, 16th and 32nd notes respectively. you may come across a Breve in 16th century choral music, and the occasional hemidemisemiquaver (or worse) where the composer can't be bothered to rethink the tempo / time sig. If you want to really be pedantic there's only four names - Breve, minim, crotchet and quaver, with semi, demi and hemi prefixes to denote subdivisions. It's hardly a feat to remember them all. remembering the names of the notes of the chromatic scale takes 3 times as much memory I recon it depends on what you are used to, I hate having to mentally convert from 'metric' names to real names when on the composing fora that I frequent, but the americans always whine when I don't convert back, so horses for courses and all that.[/quote] +1

not bad I suppose nah, just joking mate, quite awesome, and also quite inspiring Like your bands too, especially New Device.

I've played through a few VBA's and always thought the tone to be a bit woolly. I saw a guy gigging with a stack, looks of valves lit up in the head (can't remember which model), only 300w and sounded awesome.

IIRC they were like IKEA furniture, came flat packed and you assembled them yourself. They were meant to be pretty good.
