@Citylimits, international person of mystery.

Goodbye Girl - Squeeze

Easy for left hand conversion.

It seems we might have a new Ped&Kiwi production in the offing - DustChat.

Richard Emery! 🤣 You are awful...

Crest of a Wave - Rory Gallagher

Final Countdown - Europe

Lucky Number - Lena Lovich

Beat me to it. Either that or someone’s significant other is, or is going to be, pretty cross. 🤣

Mike Mills made some very nice low rumblings; should be fun.

My hi-fi speakers have exposed cones, a quick flick with one of those fine, fluffy brushes on a stick does the trick or, as been mentioned, on of those brush attachments for the vacuum cleaner. Does dust make a difference to the tone of the speaker? I’d say, yes, eventually.

Just the Two of Us - Bill Withers and Grover Washington, Jr.

Tea In The Sahara - The Police

Yeah, that smacks of BS.

Dedicated Follower Of Fashion - The Kinks

^^^^ Very much this.

Changes - Bowie

Why do a demo supposedly of a compressor, only to drench it reverb? I also find Jack S annoying.* *I believe he speaks highly of me, though. 😉

Glittering Prize - Simple Minds (sorry, couldn’t let that one slide).

Gimme the Prize - Queen (again).

Buy a Sterling short scale , fit flats and wire the pickup directly to the jack output. Good to see EB check their copy before putting it out into the world, or not (how wide is the neck?). No mention of nut width that I could see, although it looks like a Jazz 1.5” from the video.

On The Road Again - Willy Nelson

You’re My Best Friend - Queen

Everybody Needs A Friend - Wishbone Ash

This. If it isn’t enjoyable, why do it? I’ve been playing musical instruments since I was about 8 and at the heart of it, it’s always been for my enjoyment, never as a job. Once I stopped enjoying a particular instrument, I moved to something else. Eventually, I settled on guitar and got to a point where I could hold my own reasonably well. However, I was acutely aware of how much better and natural others (some of them friends or family) were. I eventually got to the point where I wanted to play in bands more, but opportunities to do so, added to the sense that I wasn’t really good enough made me think about changing instrument again. I’d always loved the sound of the bass and was always a much better rhythm guitarist than lead, so the jump to 4 strings wasn’t a difficult decision to make. It turns out that I’m a much better bassist than I am a guitarist (I still play for my own pleasure though) and should’ve jumped ship much earlier. However, for all that, sometimes I’m just not feeling it and don’t play at all (normally coupled with bouts of low mood) but when I come back, it’s always fun and a sign that my mood is improving. My point is, if playing your ever gives you enjoyment, keep on doing it. It’s nice to improve, but having that as your only goal is potentially self defeating. Play for enjoyment and improvement will come through mileage. Sort out your playing priorities and go from there.
