...but when you picture it, which one has he in his hands?

Pure Hemsworth

Much appreciated, thank you

I've spent decades thinking they were from Hull. Absolutely gutted 😢

I've always wondered, when Paul Heaton called The Housemartins the Fourth Best Band In Hull, was he including Black Lace in the trio above himself?

That's good to hear.

What proportion of them leave more holes in the texture than they realise? And is it nice having the task of filling them in?

Michael Dempsey is somewhere on that stage

You won't free up much space by selling it....

I've been wondering, if they're playing a Tele, would that make that less likely?

That last one is the Lemonheads

Facetious answers no less welcome.

When I was 18, my plan for a band playing nothing but Pixies covers got as far as the name: The Debasers

While I was listening to that, YouTube suggested Iron Horses two discs of bluegrass Metallica covers to me. Mmmm.

He fixes the cable?

I think first band I had this experience with was Bananarama

When I bought a modestly priced bass built in Yamaha's Indonesian factory, it was pretty much playable out of the box. A month later I took it to be set up. The tech said, there are things that need doing but you wont see any dramatic changes, and added that that is exactly what he would expect of a Yamaha. Around that time I tried a few other Indonesian basses, also not set up by the shop. I think they all would have been made by Cort (Ibanez, Squier) They were all harder work to play, and the Squier Jazz was in such a state that the 1st fret didn't actually work. (Still haven't worked out what would have been wrong with that.) Yamahas approach seems a happy medium to me, at least providing a usable instrument if the retailer isnt doing any set up.

So you've still got the gold

OT: one of my favourite bits of random nonsense come across on YouTube was a German metal band and a bagpiper doing playing The Riddle to an audience of about two dozen. In my memory, Dread Zeppelin were a long time ago, before tribute acts as a genre were established. Have there been many other acts which play one band's music in another band style? Depeche Mode played à la Madness would be a fun live experience.
