Crusoe

Some goth stuff on Spotify. Started out with all of Floodland, by Sisters of Mercy then it moved on to some Cure, Damned and Echo & the Bunnymen

Well, that's a disappointing way to find out that I'm a robot...

I've put in a pre-order for a Stevie Roy Vaughan Strat from Fender...

According to wikipedia he was an architect who worked on the Thames Barrier and redevelopment of Covent Garden. It doesn't say anything about his bass playing, though. 😁

Sure is.

Any time I see or hear the name "Gary Tibbs" I mentally add "and yours truly".

I was watching an Art of Guitar YouTube video about mistakes in recordings, today. Stuff like "Cannonball" by the Breeders. A lot of bands these days would have removed the incorrect slide up on the bass at the beginning, for example.

I'll not get a chance to listen to it until later, but is it more "Looking through Robert Smith's eyes..." or "She's got Robert Smith's eyes"? 😄

Many happy returns!

I'm sorry to hear this. RIP Sam

Welcome!

I have the Spark Go. I haven't used it with the bass yet, but it's dead handy for guitar. It sounds ok, but when you play through headphones it sounds really good. Spark have released a set of headphones for silent practice. I'd be interested to find out what they are like.

I can remember a duo in a bar once, one on keyboards, the other singing and possibly playing guitar, doing Oasis covers. The singer made Liam Gallagher sound like Pavarotti by comparison.

I was watching a Trogly YouTube video yesterday, where Aldo Nova appeared to be playing a Chibson copy of his own Gibson signature guitar. He was working on a cruise ship, or something like that, so Trogly reckoned he probably just didn't want an expensive guitar getting damaged/stolen by a passenger or damaged by a salt water atmosphere and had bought a cheapie and fitted his hardware of choice to it.

That was released 34 years ago. When I was 15 a 34 year old song would have been "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley 😭
