I had a couple of their albums when I was 13 and enjoyed them. I've always been a very long way away from any position of power, you'll be pleased to hear. Like Clockwork seems to me to have aged better than some of their others: I've not got any metrics by which to judge whether something is punk or not, but it would be quite an achievement for a band formed in Dublin in 1975 to be Hochpunk.

When new my Yamaha had the EXL170 set (45•65•80•100) as stock. I found there was too much of a break in character between the mellow E–A and the lively D–G for me I changed them for a EXL165 set (45•65•85•105) which I much preferred: the A and the D now seemed to have more in common Both times the strings started off with a very bright top and mellowed out before long, losing the jangle without becoming characterless.

You've the older MIJ blue sparkle Steve Harris, yes? I wonder how much on top of your 10.6 lbs the current white-painted maple model would weigh.

On my TRBX, going from the one really good sound to the other required: flicking from passive to active, turning the blend from all neck to slightly favouring bridge, and turning the dual purpose knob from Tone 10 to Treble -4. In reality, not something possible mid performance. The alternative though would have been three EQ knobs and a blend knob for the active and then another blend knob and a tone knob for the passive. Seven knobs and one switch.... 😕 Perhaps mid EQ and bass EQ could be one stacked pair, and treble EQ and tone another?

Just been searching for heavy Les Pauls. This was not the only reference to a 70s guitar weighing this much that I found

Can I vote for halfway between these two? So taking a smidge of bass off E–A, but adding a dollop of it to D–G.

I can hear your breathing from here

I doubt Andy Travis would enjoy being accused of running this fatuous account

At that price, it's highly automated with almost no costly human beings getting in the way. QC is the mostly costly bit, so presumably the steep drop in prices is because the automation has reached a level where the product can be trusted to come off the machines and go straight into the boxes. I was wondering recently why Yamaha have their factory for electric guitars in Indonesia and the one for acoustics in China. The explanation was that building acoustics still requires a lot more attention from human hands, and that's cheaper in China.

I've decided that the colour for Rising Star is my favourite,with none of the ones ahead of me appealing anywhere near as much, so from now on I shall not be replying, or liking, or posting anything in danger of attracting any kind of reaction – at least until I'm moved up from this nice dusky lake placid blue to popsicle lemon and lime.

Next time you meet him, get him to autograph this page:

I'm looking forward to his reputation-rebuilding Christmas album — While Shepherds Watched, A Great And Mighty Wonder, Up Good Christen Folk, O Come O Come Manually, Ding Dong Merrily On High, I Came Upon A Midnight Clear, Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending, Quelle est cette odeur agréable?

Once you are, please can you delete this thread?

Not seeing it here 😕

The Dawn Patroller is a character in The Thomas The Tank Engine books, iirc

I just tried this, and I'm afraid to say he's lying, that's not his password 😡

Told you 🤓

If you've played the existing bass lines exactly as recorded once, when you subsequently play them with your own touches the rest of the band will know that you're not doing so simply because of laziness or incompetence

I now feel like a nasty little chiseller every time I post something frivolous like this, or give a like to something similar

Perhaps you get notifications if you're quoted?

I have been thinking the automated euphemism machine could have its output made a bit more relevant to BassChatteurs' interests. eg atm when I type **** the software substitutes derrière when it could switch to Lars instead.

cf people who think that just because Cliff Williams bass parts are simple, anyone could do just as good a job
