Stiff Little Fingers last night at their annual homecoming gig. I missed Sham69 unfortunately. PiL were also in support. They were OK, but I was never a big fan. Ali McMordie sounded monster, as always. Near the end, they brought on Rory Gallagher's bassist, Gerry McAvoy, for a cover of Gallagher's "The Devil Made Me Do It", which sounded great.

Welcome!

Finally...

People from... oh, you mean bass related prejudices! 😆 Headless basses/guitars Lacquered necks

Nice find. Well done.

Maybe Steve Harris, just above the bottom straplock, but I don't really think so.

Well, personally, when my music career ended, I finished my A-Levels, left school, went on the dole for a few weeks and then got a job. 😄

I know bugger all about music production. What is the difference between remixing a track and remastering it?

I know nothing about pianos but reading through some of the replies to this goes a long way to explaining why the pianos in church halls often sound bloody awful.

Pun intended?

Welcome Kev.

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.
