Count Bassy

However: Playing the notes exactly as the original is not nessecarily being the best musician you can! It's the same old argument. Do you think that the Black Crows played it the same every time? I suspect not.

It's not wrong, it's different. Unless you are trying to be a Black Crows Tribute, and even then I'm not sure that it matters much. If the whole band play it "Perfectly" as per the CD then you might as well stick the CD on.

I'm very strict about changing strings: Every 15 years, whether they need it or not.

They're a singer. What else did you expect?

AU contraire; He always spoke very highly of you.

I experimented with an adjustable nut on my basses, but only to the extent of pushing a bit of galvalized wire under the strings next to the nut, so that it could be slid/angled as required. Made a real difference to the intonation at the low end (bottom 3 or 4 frets), and after setting the intonation at the bridge has negligible affect elsewhere. Didn't do anything permanent as I assumed that the required position would change with the strings fitted. In princible a good idea.

Animal is my favourite too*, what an attitude! * Apart from my son of course.

However, use with care. These things are very hard and can snap quite easily the smaller ones. If it snaps off in the screw then you have a pice of hard steel down the hole that will not drill out! Try is in conjuction with some heat from a soldering iron.

Is Scott morphing into Gary Lineker?

Or you could just learn the songs.................... Ducking rapidly.
