  1. Guitarists are welcome, as long as they don't bring any guitars.
  2. I want one in surf green with twin humbuckers
  3. This is why eBay allows you to exclude people with unpaid item strikes from bidding.
  4. We must stamp out the scourge of music being played in the wrong position. I even came across someone who played a fingerstyle piece with a plectrum. Naturally, I passed the details on to the appropriate authorities.
  5. I only see ads for tactical weaponry and elite special forces training.
  6. Have we got on to the Gonads yet?
  7. Some minor and highly cryptic clues rarely found in punk: 'Boogie' 'Waistcoats' 'Synchronised waving of guitars up and down' 'Keyboards'
  8. Status Quo I always assumed....
  9. This is @Al Krow - the bass is halfway out the door barely before he's had a chance to play it anyway 🙂
  10. Edited and bounced because I've now moved to Barry. Looking to join a band as soon as lockdown ends.
  11. Sorry got all muddled. The £390 (not £350) limit applies if you bring in goods yourself.
  12. Doubt it as the threshold is £350 not £100.
  13. @Richard R - Brawley Artemis 4, Brawley Artemis 5, EBS Session60 amp, something to weigh basses with. @Frank Blank - Rob Allen Mouse Fretless, Rob Allen Mouse Fretted, Ibanez SRC6, QSC K12.2, HX Stomp. @Stub Mandrel - Frender Performer, Hohner Jack Custom V, Deathburger (HB kit build), TE 1110 combo?
  14. One of my brother's mates played bass in Killing Joke for a bit, but never recorded with them.
  15. More cake? Extra cake?
  16. Leeky Bach says "Up yours, saxon!"
  17. A late friend of mine was an exceptionally skilled metalworker. He had worked at a piano factory, making parts of the action. It required working wooden parts to 0.001". This is not a usual precision for timber work, and it was not easy. 0.001" is pretty much 0.025mm. An accuracy of 0.1mm should be acceptable for the vast majority of woodwork.
  18. Buy a small hobby router.
  19. I used to gig a Laney Probass in the 90s. Same model as Krist Novoselic used on Bleach. Still got it. Very basic compressor, lots of tone shaping options. Three effects loops (count 'em!)
  20. 0.001mm is about two wavelengths of light or 4/100,000ths of an inch. It's about half the amount your bass's neck expands when you warm it up by 1C.
  21. I think worrying about how fast you can play is a good sign of a beginner. There is a correct answer though - fast enough to play in time and tune to the fastest song you want to play.
  22. I've never been very convinced that most of what America calls punk is punk (the Ramones and the RHCP in their early days FFS !) One honorable exception - the Dead Kennedys.
  23. Another way of putting the comments above might be "don't let pedantry kill creativity".
  24. This is Martha Ladly, the keyboard player in 2011.
