RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Probably this

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1381493771' post='2239820'] I wonder how many Basschatters have never actually seen a cassette tape in the flesh, so to speak? [/quote] God, I remember that;) at one time the price of a cassette tape went up by 30p or similar because of this. Didnt make much difference.

You could tune b e a d . If you want to keep it permanent , just adjust truss rod and replace nut .

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1381439619' post='2239275'] Our cat Marshall - coincidentally as big, black and heavy as a Marshall cab - just wandered into my music room to inform me it was biscuit time, and started into my BF midget with his claws. Little git! Fortunately he went for the paint finish rather than the silver grille cloth, so no visible damage was done. I have warned him that I could do with a pair of furry slippers. Actually the best way to keep him away is to play bass - low frequencies send him running for cover behind the sofa. Here is a picture of him in a stupid-looking pose. He is dim but loveable - provided he keeps his claws off my kit! [attachment=145779:MadMarshall.jpg] [/quote] Nice cat

I still haven't read ll of this thread . I think frank gambale has a valid point. briefly, I will probably join spotify premium. This will probably introduce me to bands I k ow not enough of. My cd catalogue is not expanding as it was in the 80s. I need newer artists to listen to , so spotify could be the answer. If I really like something , it will be purchased on cd. Hopefully, CD players will continue he to be made. We, the public have been ripped to shreds by the record companies in the past. Vinyl, tape , cd , mp3. One format was never enough for the greedy bar stewards. CDs £16 in the &0s !! I think spotify should pay more obviously . Maybe they should charge £12 . ? Will spotify and the others. Be forced to close down? Music is cheaper now thane ever before. The artists do deserve more too. I'll leave it there

Manring is good. He has one annoying habit tho'-he doesn't sit still. He keeps twisting the tuning pegs all of the time . I feel like I should tell him to stop it .. It's in tune! Just play it .

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1381421807' post='2238927'] I had Funk Me Tender on cassette. Distorted slap bass with a whammy bar? What's not to like? [/quote] Good album .Sammy says ouch ,is also classic. Too '80s for some now The hot licks video is funny tho'. He is totally out of it

+1000;)

Well, I looked at the first video by dart anian . Nothing technically different tbh . Alot of the Linus and Lucy stuff going on. Then he took out a violin bow, and then it got tedious. Watched all of it tho'. As for Mr.Wooten; plenty of sweating going on, then ..banjos !! Aaarggh! Then it broke into that annoying celtic melody . I couldn't watch it . They are both good . So what ? Randy coven is also good but never gets mentioned. I'll leave it there

Haven't joined it yet.

Maybe you could put new nut on , and adjust truss rod. Only do that tho ' if you're gonna permanently have it B-E-A-D imho

Still haven't listened to jarre yet. Tomorrow definitely. How hard can it be ? The track I wanna listen to is the last one on the album. (It is about 50+ mins tho')

That Gordy looks very mean and the jazz

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1381231062' post='2236031'] Didn't know you could get a machine for Pilates. I always thought it was like yoga or similar. [/quote] Forgot to mention I case you didn't know; Pilates and yoga go hand in hand. They are very similar.

I think there are 2 typeset these; cheap and expensive .. Probably best to check eBay /google before buying

There are a couple at least . Google is your friend;)

Due to a raging headache, I will listen to jarre tonight ( I hate this humid weather/oppressive 'office'!!)

Pilates , IMHO is the Sheehan /Hamm of exercise. Not strenuous , it's all about breathing and posture. I really miss my sessions with personal trainer a few years ago. I bought the aero Pilates machine from qvc a couple of years ago . Sharing a flat with my brother has made it remain folded most of the time. Looking at this thread, it is making me think of ideas of getting it out and start using it again. They are cheap on eBay always , as they are bulky and collection only. Pilates rocks !

Opeth are a strange band. I like the frontman. , very dry humour . Have a couple ofp3's . 1 good, 1 terrible IMHO . Want to see them again.

I keep thinking of jarre waiting for Cousteau . Will put it on my iPhone tonight . Anybody else ?

Cool. ! Nice pics
