must admit, not heard that rumour, I read it was a couple of 12 year old girls, he's always been prosecuted for girls, think he'll be on my 'no' list now though, just read one of them was under 10 😫

it's a personal decision we all have to make, I'm ok listening to most music apart from artists where pre pubescent boys and girls have been involved, so Glitter is just about in, Jackson out, of course it helps a lot if you like the music. It doesn't make much difference, to me, whether they been found guilty in a court because that's down to luck, who they know (Savile, Cyril Smith etc)lawyers, what country the case is heard in, and the jury We did Another Rock and Roll Christmas for a couple of years with no problems, went down rather well

I think everybody knew exactly what Chuck was singing about😄

Because they're not reviewing anything, just trying to impress with their self perceived brilliant playing, also, not many use a pick either

I don't have massive files so I back up to various free cloud storage, Google Drive, Google Play, one drive, places like that, and every time you open up a new email address with google you get 15Gb of storage, this is just personal stuff like Documents, music, photos and video files

I like to think there's a lot of styles that most other players can do a lot better than me, but, there's a few styles I can do better than most other players, could be just wishful thinking though 😊

one of mine did once, so yes

I suspect wireless systems with a separate transmitter (and receiver in some cases) will become a thing of the past, the Boss systems seems a lot more compact and less hassle https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-wireless-systems/boss-wl-20-compact-wireless-guitar-system01

I never need anything below E I just play the octave, as I've already stated I avoid anything below G just seems to lose definition to me and gets lost in the mix, I get that it can help some by not having to move all over the neck but I already play mostly in the first 5 frets anyway, I can't think of any of my bass playing heroes that use a 5 string

so, whether you use/need a B string depends on what sort of music you play I guess

my particular favourite is Rocking in the Free World, when the Berlin Wall came down everybody was covering it to celebrate, when in fact, it is an anti free world song

I avoid using the E string, always seems to lack definition to me, so no point in me getting a fiver

a lot would undoubtedly disagree but I don't, I really like some of his songs, but not his recording of them

think you might find it makes in an 8 ohm load, the speakers will be wired in series not parallel, or something like that

not heard Hendrix doing it then?

the venue had better not book Hung Like Hanratty. WARNING, do not play this video if you don't want to be offended

any Bob Dylan song sounds better when covered than the original, I'm can never see what good songs they are when I hear his versions. Bit of a link, Hendrix's covers were always better than the originals

I too use the B1on for varying degrees of overdrive/distortion and EQ (and the tuner), sounds ok to me, in fact I bought a B3 but moved it on, it sounded identical and, although easier to adjust the settings was a lot bulkier

funny thing genetics, I'm an only child too, no one in the family has any recollection of anyone else being left handed before me, if it's true maybe we are on the march (of course it's possible there were but they'd been but been forced to use their right hand), but one of my two daughters is a lefty and one of my grandsons too

us cack handers are taking over the world, maybe. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1563339/Number-of-left-handers-rises-sharply.html

got 100% lefty, the only thing I do right handed is holding a computer mouse, and that, like a knife and fork I taught myself to do because I got fed up with changing sides on shared computers at work

I bowl left handed but bat (and play golf) right handed, in every other respect I'm a lefty, except knife and fork, which I got fed with with changing round at a young age and learnt to do it right handed, which makes me think I probably could have learnt guitar right handed if I'd started out like that, but it was just natural to hold it left handed, never gave it a thought until I realised I was holding it the same way as Macca (started out like that when miming to records with a tennis racket in my bedroom)

my amps aren't too heavy about 13 Kg, an easy one handed lift, but I use an AH 600 at our rehearsal studio and that bugger's heavy, I wouldn't swap mine for a higher output TE, I've never run out of steam with my AH250 so why carry around the extra weight?

I've got one of those Series 6 AH200's which I use as back up for my SMX GP12 AH250, both don't have cooling fans, is this an advantage or disadvantage? the cooling fins get fairly hot after 2 hour gig but not untouchable hot if that makes sense

bang it on Ebay, low start, buyer to collect, cash only, what have you got to lose?
