    Very Weather Report feel, especially the sax.

    Tab (and notation) is here, but you have to download it as images. https://imgur.com/a/4qbLpzf I've managed about the first two pages...

    When I was 10 this counted as pop music. What's happened?

    Only took a couple of minutes looking at a tab (that misses out the shuffle rythym) then played through, but this is a great fun one I'd love to do live.

    What does it tell us that this is a song about 'Britain' rather than the 'United Kingdom'. Other than that, the forced patriotism with songs and flags... Tomorrow Belongs to Me...

    Jeah Michel Jarre Famous bassist.

    When tuning a bass always tune UP not DOWN to a note. If tuning a bass with string retainers, gently press down on the D and G strings between nut and retainer after each adjustment and before checking it.

    Might join when I get my new workshop started out as I do have some amp/effect building pretensions 🙂

    Pah, we demand handover AT the Bass Bash!

    You need some very posh equipment to machine wind a toroidal transformer, and hand winding is difficult enough to make it pricey.

    Without wishing to be rude or hyper critical, why do people expect a natural product to be 100% consistent? If you want blemish free, get a carbon fibre instrument...

    He's got lots of other items including a Stagg guitar at £100. He's seen the one listed in the US at $2,999 and is taking a punt. Original price was 345 euros.

    I'd [probably get drummed out - my Fi is not very Hi 🙂 My view is its far more accurate than guessing. Great for checking R and C values etc.

    Those little beasties are tremendously useful I used mine to match transistors when repairing my Trace Elliot. Fitted it in a 3D printed case, here are stls if they are useful to anyone. Box Bottom.stlBox Top.stl

    I don't see the likes of Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga struggling to fill stadia. So why has rock, which is still popular, not got mass appeal any more?

    Some won't have heard this... Bend your strings at 90 degrees before cutting to length to remove the risk of the windings unravelling.

    Having been in the alternative positions of (a) playing a song twice and (b) playing a song that we jammed once or twice a couple of weeks ago I'd say ideally a band knows what it's encore will be and is prepared not to play it if they don't go down well... even if that scenario is wildly unlikely.

    Phil Cambell and the Bastard Sons - if they find a new vocalist? Thunder? Black Star Riders? Or am I being naive?

    Is it me or...?

    Nylon, which absorbs permanent marker really well and it doesn't come off. Would be a poor application for teflon.

    All of us have a few quick tips and wrinkles for looking after/customising/repairing our gear. These might be ways of locking straps to the best way to fit new strings. Share yours here. My first one doesn't even need a description!

    Don't Airbourne has at least one ex-AC/DC musician on board? They don't so much ape AC/DC as do what they would have done if they hadn't shamelessly followed the money.

    Best wishes, Blue, hope it all goes well.

    Not many, several.
