    I enjoy the vocals of Mark E Smith and Bob Dylan - the imperfections are part of the charm. I do like the singing of Aretha Franklin say, but she doesn’t need correction. So for my ears it doesn’t have any application. But if it can help someone with good ideas and character to iron out a few glitches then I’m happy too.

    So what is the speaker/ amp power ratio in a combo?

    I'm in the "should like Zappa based on my other likes, but don't" camp. So now I have another opportunity to convert!

    I would take the middle ground here.... choose an amp and speakers that had the same power rating. Not out of compromise, I just don't know any better!

    Some of the melodic elements might be, but drum kit and sequenced parts not so much!

    I suspect that the first use of fixed tempo and repetitive rhythm happened before we started writing it down.

    And, like trouser waistbands, gets higher as we get older!

    Same for me........ I might go even for the oil too 😃!

    Another Zoom HN2 user. Works well and can double as a good quality USB mike if you ever need it.

    Top of P pickup at bottom of belt. Used to be lower when younger😃

    Yes Tom Hark was one that made them into global super stars!

    I agree that the drummer in a chicken suit is a good way to signal that you are not taking it too seriously. I think in another TOTP appearance the drummer played at the front , topless - using fish as drumsticks.

    I go to the occasional Bluegrass gig and I’ve only ever seen a double bass or maybe no bass. However seeing as it’s a jam and there’s already a tele in the mix hardly worth the layout😉 ( of cash and learning) But a uke bass would be cheapish and not too hard to adapt to and would fit sound wise.

    Micachu and the Shapes - debut album "Jewellery" (2009) ( Here's the opening track

    *pedant alert* I wouldn't say it was "apropos of nothing", as your comment was reasonably pertinent the the topic of discussion" *end of pedantry*

    I've seen a few Basschatters praising the basswork on a the early Quo albums, so that validates the OP's point.......... to a degree. Not, however, to the degree of universal worship amongst the entire bass-playing population !

    (OK, I may be distracted by the overall image)

    Mmm like the look of that!

    Lol, enjoyed that description (but I do like JAMC)……. ….. are you thinking of bring this descriptive service to the monthly Basschat Composition challenge?

    Great picture @upside downer , love it! Has it translated to a song idea yet???.......... not yet but i'm sure it will come !

    Oh, go on one more then........ The Telescopes "Taste" album is a great example of wall-of-sound multitracked goodness... (Singer Stephen Lawrie: "I asked the guitarists to lay down 8 tracks of guitar.........each") Example - Violence

    This guy had a great punk guitar sound:

    I'd be more likely to say the other way round..... but then again with a bucketload of exceptions !
  24. Nail Soup
    I've seen quite a few members on Basschat openly confess to being a drummer....... but not owning up in this thread for some reason 😀!
  25. Nail Soup
    I'll go for aone of each... goodie and baddie. I think the band Placebo are OK.... but I love Brian Molko's guitar sound..... powerful and overdriven yet percussive: Might be sacrilege to say it but I always thought the Clash had a bit of a lame guitar sound in their punk days compared say to the Pistols:
