    Good on you 🙂 I trust it's only a coincidence that the audience appear to be fleeing from your onslaught in that pic!

    OK, I got some apparently more accurate digital scales. Interesting: Jack V - 8.4 lbs Squier Standard Jazz (2001) - 9.7 lbs Squier VM Jag - 7.7 lbs Fender performer - 9.0 lbs All including strap (I need something to attach the scales to and I'm not using the strings!)

    To be honest, I think it's a bit like the 'uncanny valley' effect.

    Hmm... according to my luggage scales it's only 7.5lbs! I find that hard to credit, the scales are pretty cheesy so I'll see if I can get a decent one later. Probably feels heavier because my 'main squeeze' basses (Fender Performer, Squier Jazz) are both quite light. It's not as heavy as my Westone. As @Paul S suggests it may be down to the timber in it as well.

    stinky poo. I'm in a lifetime unique position of being able to afford that and always having wanted one. MUST.... RESIST...

    TBH why would anyone have a Starcaster when they could have a 335 ?

    Sod that. I'm old and foolish and hoping to play a couple of festivals next summer. If so it will be trace 4x10 combo on top of Peavey 1x15 on one side and Laney head with 2 2x12s on the other. And a tweeter box. The ideal rig doesn't just sound good, it scares people.

    I found this one in Edinburgh. With the active on it makes my little Orange Crush 25W practice amp sound very big and nasty 🙂 Very affordable, very playable, but a tad heavy.

    He's the singer... 😲

    Due to some, ahem, domestic rearrangement, I've got my 'toy' record player in the living room and I'm working though my vinyl. Playing them in order, so totally random (unless I had some sort of plan ~20 years ago) So far: Help! - Beatles (mono) Selling England by the Pound - Genesis Elysian Encounter - Baker Gurvitz Army Live and Heavy - (Classic compilation, various 70s heavy rock bands) Flash - Jeff Beck Sergeant pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band - Beatles (mono) Boston - Boston PXR5 - Hawkwind The Freewheeling Bob Dylan - Bob something. (mono) I'd forgotten how utterly impeccable my musical taste is 🙂

    You've got me thinking now. Surely a 'Precision Fretless' is an oxymoron... P.S. Is it good for metal?

    Billy Sugger!

    I've had an awful, apocalyptic image of those two snogging...

    Where's the fun in that? Far too neat.

    I first read that as 'I saw Steve Hackett in the bath"

    Do you have the ashtrays and mutes?

    Hi Joe, in a conversation with our drummer on Wednesday the ideas of playing 3 over 4 and vice versa came up. Can you point out some songs or videos with some basic examples I can try, just to start to get a feel for this?

    Bit like Hawkwind! Tonight looks a bit unfeasible 😞
  21. Stub Mandrel
    Never heard that before but I grok what it means 🙂

    LOL Been up and down to Scotland three times, not going until 2020 now!

    It's so sad how many people took up bass because 'everyone else wanted to play guitar' or 'no-one played bass'. There's no difference in 'skill' between bass and guitar IMHO, they just suit different sorts of people and I suspect most bassists become more 'musical' than most guitarists.

    Rare recorded use of a capo on TOTP. That woudll make a great theme song...

    Nick Cave did a song with Kylie and it was epic...
