That's great! Thanks for sharing... Case closed on that I'd say!

Fingers crossed for you @owen Time for Mr Dyson to stop frittering away his self-proclaimed towering intellect and engineering talents on cordless vacuum cleaners and put a bit of hard graft into producing the world's first bass guitar friendly bijou transporter for the home!

Agree with you 100%.. And its a beautifully produced album as well IMO. I've always thought that Jeff Buckley had such an absolutely innate musical talent, he could have really been one of the 'rock & roll greats' (for want of a better phrase) had he lived longer and made more records. Sad that we never got a chance to find that out..

Roxy Music never really made it big in the States, despite their success in the rest of the world.

An extreme case of repetition & duplication if ever I saw one! Time to have all those duplicates removed from this collection @cetera It'll be painful at first, but you'll feel so much better afterwards.. 😄

Cheers! It's about 18 years old I think Dave and has acquired that relic'd look naturally.. I've always liked it this way - gives it a more beat up 70s jazz look in my eyes.

As promised..

Will post a picture up tomorrow as am out this evening...

OK , let's get started.. 😊 Attendance & Gear List: 01. Silverfoxnik - BC Rich Eagle, Ander van der End JB5, RBV5, Ampeg V4BH head and matching cabs. 02.Hamster - 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Etc, etc.. Workshops, guest speakers to be confirmed and announced.. Nik

That's exactly what I have on my Ander van der End JB5 - it's a great combination!

Perfect - thanks @Hamster 😊

I realised after I'd voted for a P/J combination that what I actually use more often than anything else is a P/P combination as can be seen in the attached pic of my BC Rich Eagle. Then I realised that I also have a double humbucker set up on my Gibson Thunderbird, and something similar also on my Roscoe Beck V... So there's complete confirmation that I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about most of the time! 😄

Thank you @hiram.k.hackenbacker 😊 I was going to add his name myself this morning after rereading this thread..

I voted UK, but I really don't like these binary choice only referendums! 😉 Moving swiftly on, I think @chris_b has summed it up pretty well. It's been an iterative process, with music from both sides of the Atlantic inspiring and influencing in equal measure.. Having said that, when Rolling Stone did one of those Top 100 Artists polls a few years back, I seem to recall that The Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin ere in the top 5!

Interesting thread.. Got to say, I'm with @Mykesbass on this one. IMO, there used to be a healthy amount of interaction on For Sale threads that was, more often than not, pretty helpful. Especially if the person selling was someone relatively new to the forum or someone I hadn't had any dealings with before on Basschat, then I always found the way they interacted with and managed posts on their threads a good indication of how they might be if you decided to do a deal with them. Not an exact science I know, but it has worked for me over the years. One thing I think that's contributed to the decline in conversation on For Sale threads has been the introduction of the facility to bump your post without having to say anything new when you do it. You see some stuff that's for sale on here being endlessly bumped without any new comments or info added to the thread by the seller, which I always find quite disappointing and boring and ultimately, a bit of a turn off. For example, imagine going into a shop a few times to look at a a piece of gear you're interested in and mulling over, but everytime you go into the shop the staff don't speak to you. Eventually, you'd just decide to go somewhere else, wouldn't you..

Great! 😊
