Those yellow vans could carry a lot of bottles of scotch.

<Sigh!> Does anyone understand the rules of this challenge? Actually of course everyone does, but part of the fun is trying to wriggle round these rules 😁. I'm eying a pedal, and trying to figure out how to claim it's not in the signal path... 🙄 What did you sell @Quilly?

My friends call me the Pillock. I actually can't find a photograph of me with a bass in hand 😥

SAP Concur is designed as an expense management system for internal company use, it's not a supplier order/invoice system. I think GK are misusing it by making the bands log in and create accounts. What would make sense, if the idea is to pay bands centrally and track cost, is that the PUB puts in an expenses claim to cover your bill.

Looks good, I have bench-envy! My previous house had a bench in the garage when I moved in, about 700mm deep by 3m long, which meant I had space for a pillar drill at one end and vice at the other. It was also massively over-engineered and had carpet glued to the top which seemed wierd. I later found out the previous owner used to race classic cars, the bench was built to take the weight of a big engine and the carpet to provide protection and ensure it didn't slip. I now have a diddy bench in the corner of the garage at my house, and sold the drill. 😥

Welcome aboard Andy! If you're worried about owning only 4 basses then you can always visit the market place and catch up with the guys here who own 7, 10, 30... There was a recent thread somewhere about how many basses do people own, I can only find the old ones.

Welcome aboard! Nice instruments - what's the 5-string?

It's not an album to be careful listened to and the mix dissected. Just play it LOUD! RIP - Rock In Paradise!

Isn't that most of the rest of the site??

^^^^ Thus demonstrating that you can find anything on the Internet 😄

Welcome aboard! Loads to learn on here, and lots of friendly people willing, and able, to help a newbie.

Welcome aboard!

It could have been "Brown Monday" then.

I have never managed to listen to all of it, can't stand it.I just listening again, and managed 30s. The day has gone quite well and I saw no reason to spoil it. Please, someone explain - why on earth do so many intelligent musicians rate it so highly?

Some serious injuries on this thread, quite made me wince. So far I am injury-free - bruised ego and shattered confidence don't count.

I have heard London Calling played with swing.🤢

I should more honestly have posted "makes me want to drive to head office with a blunt instrument and make the prat in charge of musak suffer". But I dread to think what you would have posted in reply to that... 🤣

Any kid should be happy with that SG, it looked great. And a good profit for a thorough cleanup 🙂

Clearly you don't work at B&Q. They have gone back to what they did a few years ago and only play insipid covers of great music. Makes me want to scream.

Which immediately made me think of The South Bank Show. I have the LP of Variations, but haven't played it in ages. Did find this on YT though. I forgot that the title sequence changed over the years.

Oh FFS! Typo on my part. Which I won't correct as it lets me make the comment above. 😁

That, and he has to play three more notes: A,B,C,CH,D,DD,E,FF,G. *Welsh joke, feel free to google or just move along.

This series of podcasts is just great! Ian Anderson is always entertaining, Adam Clayton really interesting, Nick Mason a gentleman of the first order. Ramble all over the place, but hey, it's in the title 😁
