If the plug in question houses a transformer and isn't easily replaceable

It does... see start of the thread.

Take a look at the hybrid cymbal/elbow!

I'm guessing the drummers at the bar getting the drinks in or is he asleep on a table somewhere ? 😂

Dave

Singer and drums absent. Mate Nigel is playing me something Darren wrote to his lyrics and me and Darren are jamming something suitably funky...

The originals lot, Fritz put out an album X years ago and is reviving the band name for an album and a few dates. No big ambitions but some fun stuff with fairly simple structures.

Use a spare bandmate.

I'm more worried about the old boy with the sickles for hands in the background. What if he needs to pick his nose?

Funnily enough, I rewatched Time Bandits last night, and he was in that:

Something themed on a wandering finger, perhaps? One seems to have migrated from left to right...

Some rehearsals are more chilled than others...

When people start discussing any music with 'core' at the end of its name, expect fireworks...

The poster suggests that like the early days of Glastonbury it was a more organic, less commercial, community driven festival. Different times with less of the pressures of budget, health and safety, policing, community relations and all the non musical aspects that dominate music festivals now. I would think more exciting times when there wasn’t a massive industry looking to profit from the consumption of music and youth culture, just people who wanted to get a scene together and have a good time. To a large extent it was started by the hippies, revived by the punks and had its last hurrah in the early days of hip hop. 

 

For now it is the domain of big business. Safer, bigger, more polished and professional. But very different.

When I went it was more like a huge, surreal mediaeval fair. Due to over-indulgence I can't remember much else beyond the Mutoid Waste Company, Hank Wangford and Richard Thompson.

I am better off listing to the record, rather than going and thinking 'oh they did well considering'.

I thought that about Neil Young.

I was wrong .

Yup I just shrugged indicated the blue sparkly IEM plug and mouthed “I can’t hear you” 🤷🏼‍♂️🤣

From Cybus Industries?

Watch it... you could get upgraded.

Pair of side cutters.

That's the best mains detector. They make a flash, a bang and a cloud of smoke to let you know a cable is live. 

And develop a neat notch to provide a permanent record.

My tiny little PJB C2 handles a low B with aplomb.

It just isn't very loud.

Spilling .

For interest I looked up the Trace Elliot 1200. I was very disappointed to see that it is incapable of driving a 2Ω load. In my mind such a capability in a bass amp is almost a necessity!

 

So what you are saying is "ability to drive 2 ohms is not a necessity".

Problem solved.

Nothing to see here. You can all go home now.

The description: "Increase the speed of your favorite Precision Bass with the P to J Conversion neck." Surely the terminal velocity of a Precision will be almost exactly the same when dropped off the official Relicing Building, regardless of whether a P or a J neck is fitted.

Gemnjus not helpful.

"The concept of "terminal velocity" as it applies to a bass guitar is not a standard measurement or a practical consideration. Terminal velocity usually refers to the constant speed that a free-falling object eventually reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance. While a bass guitar dropped from a height would experience this, it's not a meaningful comparison between a Precision Bass and a Jazz Bass. The key differences between these two basses are their neck profiles, pickup configurations, and tonal characteristics, not their aerodynamic properties. "

As for the flags, every other flag was a Palestinian one and it became a bit of a running joke as so many artists were making a statement at some point during their set.

It seems Olivia Rodriguez hate chanting supreme court judges has no legal consequences, which seems oddly unbalanced.

The worst was 1975, absolutely dreadful and people were walking out. They were so bland and a cross between background music and Busted.

The Guardian was impressed, although the review was largely gibberish. 

"The 1975 at Glastonbury review – amid the irony, ego and pints of Guinness, this is a world-class band

Perhaps joking, or perhaps not, Matty Healy pronounces himself ‘the greatest songwriter of my generation’ – and that’s only a slightly ridiculous statement"

Oddly I thought the crowd noises were subdued this year , almost as if they were deliberately being dubbed out , mic’d down, EQ’d to a murmur or just plain ignored.

i noticed it on most shows . 
 

 

loved Radcliffe and Maconey this morning playing highlights and naming the stages 😂

Mark and Lard? They used to be my soundtrack for going to sleep in the early 90s!

You could hear people singing along to Neil Young's acoustic tracks.

But not as much as watching the crowd that doesn't seem to get him and are wondering why he hasn't done Are Friends Electric? yet.

Strangely they watched the music as if bludgeoned into silence, but there was a roar of appreciation and hand waving at the end of each song.

Just seen Olivia Rodrigo

All those poor kids not realising they are being cunningly subverted into hearing proper music.

Performer diddled with for half an hour, then put into it's case for the first time in a long time (I had to repair the handle, and it's few outings in the last ten years have been in a jazz bass case).
