  1. I remember when the Paisley Tele came out. Saw one being played by the support for a Hawkwind gig, apparently they have been reissued, but no signs of the bass returning.
  2. Scientist have proved - Neanderthals looked like Joe Walsh (with a beard).
  3. I don't have a clue what she's getting at. But she definitely wasn't a fan of the sort of action we go for these days. I imagine she means something other than 'string height'' by 'action' and why worry about 'true pitch' if you have an adjustable bridge? It's a very odd book, typical of the sort that would have terrified me by its reliance on musical notation, but it obviously got a lot of folks started. I think the book was partly aimed at upright players 'converting' to electric: There is some good advice:
  4. Only vicariously. I let other dudes suffer and enjoy reading their reactions 🙂
  5. Your rehearsals must be more fun than a barrel of monkeys 🤣 (Just joshin')
  6. Just do something random each time. That's almost always what the original musician did/does.
  7. They get less conservative at night. The Long Player and Phil Alexander are pretty eclectic at times. In any case, where else can you tune in with a decent chance of hearing the Pink Fairies, Alex Harvey or the whole of Stargazer?
  8. I have no desire to be one of those sad men who tries to make out women oppress men, but I do agree with this. It happens regularly on Radio 4, on the New Quiz a panellist was going on about Kier Starmer, if instead one of the male panellists had said the same about one of the female candidates there would have been uproar. You can't really get past 'two wrongs make a right' if you try to justify this.
  9. A rounded blade is best, takes off very small amounts.
  10. I've done my own anodising. Anodised colour with decals could look good.
  11. I'd be more worried about the blast effect pushing the crowd back out the door...
  12. Well just listened to a recording from 1995, and I can't remember all the bassline.
  13. Now I've scrolled to the bottom of the page... what was the question? Not too bad actually, some things stick in my mind from the band I was in up to '89. Anything iffy benefits from a play through the day before to get it 'refreshed'.
  14. Kingston Town, UB40. So gentle, it's the warm bath of bass lines.
  15. Let me correct that for you, Blue... 🤣
  16. Of course if you'd like to bring an 18" TE cab and take away a 15" Peavey one?
  17. Come on, we can have a WCPS stand, complete with Jama tasting and a (waterproof) box for donations to Dr Mondeaux...
  18. I suspect the 50Plus was proper amp, I recall the Cobra 90 as being much better than the 50B.
