RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Yeah, amazing . The driving force behind hawk wind .

Good call Dave. Now try and find greasy truckers ,with him doing the bass on master of the universe awesome

That means you dark Andrew

I'm a little confused. I was under the impression a 5 string would take care of all turnings , except maybe low g or something .

I'm sure a lot of us have seen bands that you liked years ago, but distance yourself from now. I have a few .To start the ball rolling, I name Venom! When I saw them at the hammy odeon , years ago they were good. Seeing exodus, with Paul bailoff supporting , and the mighty chariot helped as well. Haven't listened to venom for years, and can't see myself doing so again tbh . Anyone ?

I'm same age as op;( Bored of the band thing . However, I miss the sound when playing at a louder volume than in my flat.( with drummer / guitarist of course:) ) I may in a few months time, advertise for musicians just to jam and record with in a rehearsal room at weekends or something . Fun really

Mmm. In some guitar repairs , they have lots of spare bits .etc. Maybe a shoe repairer ( timpsons )? Might sound odd, but they probably have the tools to do the job. Over to Othet basschatters

Looks like a cheap 70s lawsuit . Not my style

2 jack Daniels ( only 2 always ) helped;)

Haven't read all the thread yet. I've always moved around , doing rock poses etc. Just for a laugh. Probably just as well , I didn't play a fretless or 5 string live Most times I've gigged, people have always remarked how much I enjoyed myself. Thing is , even if I was bored ( one man and his deaf dog etc) I still bounced about with nervous enthusiasm , giving the impression I was not

A long time ago, I was whistling the theme tune to friends . My sister heard me; ' do you watch friends ?' Embarrassing at the time I don't mind it TBH . Walking on sunshine on the other hand = dark clouds / burning with hatred etc. Had a conversation about the manics the other night . I hate them . Design for life probably tops the hatred list for me .

These days ( because I'm old/ older), I tend to be near the bar while watching bands. What did annoy me though at Venues like Astoria , where the security used to be over zealous , is when the moshing crowd reverses into us . Then a 14 year old girl can't handle her drink and makes things worse . Then there's the baldy guy ... It's always the baldy guy;) Happened only on 2 occasions . Now where is billy Milano ?

Where's Billy Milano ?

Sadly my precious Marantz CD player is broken, but it does look like I've found a localish guy who's up to the job of reliably fixing it and doesn't want something ridiculous as an "assessment fee". I was at a trade show last weekend that LINN were providing the sounds for - anyone want to buy a kidney? one fairly careful owner, low mileage. [/quote] Nice pic stu

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1457277927' post='2996956'] Although said very much in jest, there is something about the way old 45's were mastered and pressed that suited the jukebox. I still don't really like listening to old Atlantic and Stax music on CD as I feel they were created to sound at their best on a far less perfect piece of equipment. Oh, and my first job out of school was in jukebox record distribution, including bashing out the larger holes in the records - thousands of the things, all done manually! [/quote] It was you that was doing that ? When I was still at school, buying singles , I used to buy them from a newsagents cheap as chips . ( yes a newsagent ) All the middles were removed so to speak

No lock now yet

Thanks stu . God I feel really really stupid now .😩😩 Apologies again for confusion

Will do thanks Tim;)
