Count Bassy

Lynn Jackaman, who used to sing with St. Jude. Not seen her since those days though.

Not in my experience.

I should have said IMHO, YMMV  etc.

Personally I've not had a problem with the Neutrik stuff except for some of their early Right Angle "Silent Plugs", which jammed.

(They acknowledged that there ws a design problem and sent me four of the revised design  - I'd only bought two in the first place!)

A shout out for Neutrik as well. Same quality as Switchcraft.

Part No  NYS229  for mono.

Thank you, I meant his version  as opposed to Gary Moore. 

Ah, OK. Yes his version is beautiful. One of the few songs I can (mostly) play and sing at the same time, but my version is distinctly less beautiful!

Maggie Bell

One of my favourite songs to noodle over in a quiet moment is Peter Green's Need Your Love So Bad. I just find it one of the most relaxing tunes to play and listen too. Sad times RIP Mr Green.

Pedant alert/ Actually written by 'Little Willy John', but can't disagree that Peter Green made it his own.

If you doubt that valves will be with us for long consider what's happened with vinyl.

Time will tell with Vinyl. Personally I suspect it will prove to be a fairly brief resurgence based on nostalgia. In every technical respect digital is superior. The reason many people prefer vinyl is that the production techniques and aims were different in those days. If you digitally record and compress as is the modern trend then Vinyl would have no advantages (IMHO), other than the sleeve size.

, but you would think that national chains and global companies would have enough 'fat' to survive.

Big companies with "Fat" generally results in big dividends and director bonus's. Not saving some for a rainy day!

Jerome Rimson on Roger Chapman's 'Live in Hamburg'.

I leave the strings tuned but put the body between my knees and pull the neck back to take the strain off the truss rod while adjusting it. Seems to work - haven't broken one yet, but then I'm not doing it every day.

£1.57bn is peanuts. Too little, too late for many small arts businesses. I know several self-employed people who've made their livings in the arts sector. Not only have their revenues completely dried up, they got zilch from the government, no furlough money, no universal credit. A lot of them are only getting buy through the kindness of family and friends.

Hardly peanuts, and it puts us second in the list quoted above.

Obviously I am arts and music inclined, but even I can see that getting manufacturing going again is far more important.

Some very understandable entries there, but equally some really wierd entries and ordering. 'Vive la difference' I guess.

Better than a lot of bass solos I've heard, and they have good stage presence and movements... so overall not too bad.

This.

Macca’s “ Bluebird “;

All alone on a desert island 

We’re living in the trees 

 

- Must be the kind of desert with trees in , then .

And "Blackbird singing at the dead of night" - most unusual.

The Orange oil based 'label Remover" is very good.

Surely never a better time to ask.............................................

How much does your bass weigh?

I think it's runnier than you'd like it, sir.

Not sure why it isn't more popular in their line.

Possibly the colour scheme?

This "Feature Knot"... sold it for me.. Just look at the flame.

That looks like the classic finger board wood; pine. Mind you it must be expensive, cause he couldn't afford to make the finger board wide enough for the strings!

Those extractor tools can be quite Brittle. I was waiting for that to break!

However, why didn't he put the adjustable spanner on the hex of the 'Gripper Rod'.

This one for sure
, and anyone leaving before it ended would be automatically excluded from the will!

But also I'd forgetten what a beautiful song "Days of Our Lives" is.

Despite the omissions (which didn't pick up on) I found it informative and interesting.

Use decent headphones and close your eyes. 🙂

 

Sounds much like stereo to me.
