Mick Karn. But I never had a fretless or the talent. But thought his lines on the Japan tracks were so different I had to try and play then.

That's a nice looking bass. Glad to hear it's a good one. I bought a CV 70s version. Mine weighs in at 11lb, trying to get the action below 4mm caused serious fret buzz needing a lot of fret leveling and had to shim the neck and flatten the underside of the bridge saddles. However, now all the work has been done I do enjoy playing it and it's my gigging bass. At least it was a good learning curve!

As a band we're doing this one and the drummer always plays it too fast thinking it makes it more exciting. It drives me mad! Destroys the groove completely.

There's an awful lots of bad covers, but my personal hate is Diddys cover of Every Breath You Take. A travesty of a cover, destroyed any sentiment in the original.

Another vote for the NUX. And if you get it, try the Mighter Amp app. Much more functionality. However not for Apple phones.

Trouble is, everything sounds silly or naff to start with, even famous bands sound silly in the cold light of day. We went through 100s and I ended up using my favourite childhood game for inspiration

No, sorry, it wasn't him

Way back in 1984 I went to the Old Duke in Bristol to watch an R&B band that were big in Bristol at the time. Great band, great gig and towards the end of course round came the solos. The bass player would probably admit it wasn't his finest moment. I can't solo at all so I'm no one to call him out, but it was a pretty bad 12 bars. Skip forward 3 weeks and I managed to get an interview at a studio in Bristol. And who should be the owner of the studio?.... Yup, the very same bass player. I got the job and needless to say i never mentioned that solo. I did however end up doing the bands live sound and had some of the best nights ever. They were an awesome R&B band and it was a pleasure doing the sound. And he did manage to play better solos.

Sounds like they are glamping in the VIP area with proper toilets and everything. Chage them the full £300!

Very good post there. Nice video. I was working in studios around this time mixing tracks with a lot of dance/remixers. Everyone and their donkey was using this loop (bIt like the DX7 in the early 80s). I struggled with a lot of this music at the time as it's not my taste. But as an in house engineer you do what you got to do. Same with house music. Where's the music? But get into a club, accept it is what it is and let it get to you and then it makes sense! 🕺
