Surfing With The Alien - Joe Satriani

Silver Machine - Hawkwind

Although the photo isn't quite square, the saddle peaks look normally staggered to me. Nice score, BTW, I'm suitably jealous.

BC right now...

A prime example of if you’re going to live life, really live it. Proper legend.

Tea in the Sahara - The Police

Top bass player and top bloke, the bash will be all the better for his attendance.

Better than not waking up for a pee. 😬

Kick Out The Exams - MC5

Wherever I Lay My Scat - Paul Young

I can remember when I first noticed my tinnitus and it was directly attributable to the cymbal that I stood close to.

Cool For Craps - Squeeze

Crushed by the Wheels of Industry - Heaven 17

Ooh, hello, Mr (or Ms) G&L.

TNT - AC/DC

The beauty of a clear guard is that you can try out different looks just by cutting and inserting thin card or paper behind it to check out the effect. I have an all black ‘insert’, one with a paisley pattern made from and old bandana (stuck onto card) and a tort one, where I bought a small sheet of stick on tort (for acoustic guitars) and trimmed it up.

Good for them, that messing about was the most blatant prima donna behaviour, just because the whole World was watching. Live Aid wasn’t meant to be about ‘look at me’ - a total dick move and boring to watch/listen to. Contrast that with Simple Minds.

Sloe Gin - Joe Bonamassa

I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down - Elvis Costello

Road to Nowhere - Talking Heads

Flat wound strings and a piece of foam under the bridge are favoured by those looking for that old school, P bass thump (think James Jameson on the old Motown recordings). Stick with what’s on there for the moment, until you work out what you want from it tonally, then you can investigate the many options. Fortunately, there is plenty of help on Basschat in this regards. Nice bass you have there. 👍

Lily the Mink - The Scaffold

Rat in Mi Kitchen - UB40

My Best Friend’s Girl - The Cars
