I once had (and this is verbatim ) "you were really great, you didn't get bottled or nuffink!".

To be fair, the Lord is not a fan of the jazz or blues jam: Amos 6: 1. Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation, to whom the people of Israel come! 2 Go to Kalneh and look at it; go from there to great Hamath, and then go down to Gath in Philistia. Are they better off than your two kingdoms? Is their land larger than yours? 3 You put off the day of disaster and bring near a reign of terror. 4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory and lounge on your couches. You dine on choice lambs and fattened calves. 5 You strum away on your harps like David and improvise on musical instruments.

So no mention of 😟

Why? He had a life and career before The Beatles, and has done plenty since.

Immortal Beloved 1994, quite good. Copying Beethoven 2006, not so good. Artist licence applied in both.

By Cliff? Awesome song, sounds great rocked up 😎

Figure it out - Royal Blood We're doing it with guitars, so a slightly different arrangement, but I've still got to learn it all.

Get paid to do what I pay to do? Off course! I'd have to be earning enough to pay the bills though, and my times of kipping in the back of vans with the gear and other band members, are long gone.

*cough* Pics! *cough*

Anything would probably sound good after that 😜

When recording, is it a thing to double the double bass with electric bass (or the other way round) ? Not in a Walk on the Wildside way, but playing the same thing. Are there any examples? Ta!

Decent speakers, regular tuning, and an octave pedal 😉

I bought my SY-300 in December, so I'm (still) in!

Not to mention ending sentences with prepositions...

"The EastCoast ST2 is EastCoast's superb version of the classic double-cutaway, bolt on neck electric guitar, rigged with a pair of chiming singlecoils and a meaty humbucker in the bridge position". So if it is anything less than"superb" get down to Trading Standards!

What I always found useful/interesting was when the reviewer would gig the gear. I appreciate this might not always be possible for you.

Remember the free 'Making Music' magazine?

There was a free music magazine called Making Music, who absolutely loved the Marlin Sidewinders. They must have been on the payroll 😉

Where's the line between "a decent bass for the price" and "a decent bass"?
