Was it because this was the period when lots of players were switching to Arias and Yamahas and other non-Fender stuff?

Existential nonsense/what's the basspoint
skankdelvar replied to Ajoten's topic in General Discussion
Well, the bass sounded fine to me on all the tracks I listened to. The guitar's a bit upfront - not necessarily too loud, just needs to move back a touch in the mix. On the whole, some really nice quality songs and recording. Thing about mixing is that not every instrument can be the star and the bass is usually going to rank behind the voice, the drums and the mid-range instruments. But take the bass out altogether and the song will fall apart. Congratulations, excellent effort 👍 -
Excellent choices, Sir. Also: Ladies of the Canyon - Joni Mitchell Third Album - Led Zeppelin Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel Fun House - The Stooges After The Gold Rush - Neil Young Man Who Sold The World - Bowie In Rock - Deep Purple Band of Gypsys - Hendrix

Both your memories are correct. Musical Exchanges was sited on Broad Street before it moved to Snow Hill. The Broad St shop was a dingy Aladdin's Cave of secondhand gear with a Dave Hill Superyob guitar in the window. My recollection of the Snow Hill shop (not long before they went under) was of a posher, more brightly lit place with lots of new Strats on the wall and correspondingly of less interest. My only memories of Woodroffe's are (i) that it was the first place I ever saw a 4001 in the flesh and (ii) Jezz Woodroffe worked in the family music store and played keys on Sabbath's Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy. Mr Mark King may have visited Musical Exchanges but at this time I can find no documented proof of such a visit.

My sincere advice to you is to identify those posters whose jokes you dislike and to use the ignore button. If you think a member is being trolled or that inclusion is not being promoted then you should report the posts to the moderators and let them decide if anyone is being bullied. This avoids unpleasant confrontations. Happy New Year

I may reassure Mr @JapanAxethat the DoI has no association with this thread. Indeed, our guiding principles are a firm adherence to English as she is spoken, a penchant for clarity and brevity, and a fanatical devotion to the Oxford comma. That said, the 'Level 42 before Level 42' thread has excited the interest of the DoI's Faculty of Humanities; a team of our finest researchers are engaged in a deep-dive semiotic study, the results of which will be published in late 2022.

Don't knock it. Off the back of that re-animating post some people have been getting 'likes' for stuff they posted three years ago -
I remember Macari's in the latter days after they moved to Charing Cross Road. I'd get drunk at lunchtimes and wander round and stare in the window. On one occasion I bought a Danelectro U2 in there; it seemed like a good idea under the circumstances.

Another new old guy .... another late mid life crisis ...
skankdelvar replied to a topic in Introductions
Hi Gramski and welcome to the forum -
Vegans, it seems, number about a million people in the UK and probably increasing every year. Nevertheless, a back of an envelope calculation suggests that 19 out of 20 aspiring frontpersons will be salad dodgers and therefore ineligible to join the band. Now, given that at least 40% of aspiring frontpeople are talent-less nutters, 20% can't sing and 20% have the star quality of a an orange-pip then you're talking about 5% of 10%. 20% Of course, a talented and engaging vegan frontie might be the first candidate through the door but sod's law says they won't be.
-
The only thought that occurs to me is that about 1.6% of the UK pop'n is vegan. Even if we triple that percentage to allow for higher uptake among younger people that still potentially restricts the band to only about 1 in 20 aspiring singer / front persons*, a body which in itself is comprised in the main of deluded fantasists, front people who can't sing and singers who can't front. So chuck in the requirement to be vegan and they might have an even longer wait than usual. Or they might not. My indifference is unshakeable. * Look at me, all sensitive like.

I reflected on that list and on my own history and thought, well, I've no moral authority at all except it wasn't a friend, more a colleague I occasionally had drinks with. . -
