    [quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1496380085' post='3310893'] There is also the myth that JC is a comedian. Just saying. [/quote] Yep, not funny, get back to Birmingham.

    Mike Portnoy on Ringo Starr: [url="http://www.musicradar.com/news/drums/mike-portnoy-picks-10-essential-drum-albums-596916"]http://www.musicrada...m-albums-596916[/url] [quote] The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour (1967) “Ringo is where it all began for me. From the day I was born, he was my introduction to drumming and music in general. Picking one Beatles album is so hard – everything from Rubber Soul forward are masterpieces – so I’m going to go with what might be a weird choice: Magical Mystery Tour. “This wasn’t even a real Beatles album; it was just a collection of singles. But I think it was a period where Ringo and the band began their experimentation in the studio. Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane, both of which are on here, were the first tracks from the Sgt. Pepper sessions. Listen to what they were doing: Strawberry Fields was all about experimentation, and Penny Lane was all about simplicity. There’s a serious yin and yang of Ringo’s drumming in those two tracks. “There’s also great drumming on I Am The Walrus – such a fantastic backbeat and groove. And there’s some other weirder songs, too, like the title track and Flying and Blue Jay Way. It captures Ringo during a very cool, very experimental period. “There wouldn’t be drums as we know them if Ringo Starr hadn’t done it first. It goes beyond the fact that he was the drummer in the greatest band of all time; part of their innovation stems from his drumming. The backbeat on Penny Lane, the double-tracked drums on Lady Madonna – nobody was doing the kinds of things that Ringo was doing in the ‘60s. He was the first, and everything that followed did so in his footsteps.” [/quote]

    Jasper Carrot is from Birmingham, not Liverpool. Another internet myth.

    I checked the Peerless would fit before buying using the bag internal dimensions ... [quote] Inner dimensions: Length: 120 x Width (Neck/Body): 18/39 x Height: 6 cm [/quote] ...versus Peerless dimensions ... 120 x 39 x 6cm ... and it does fit perfectly. If the 335 or other comes in at or under those dimensions then my guess is it will fit. If not, then not. It's not an absloute top quality bag but it works for me and was not expensive.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1483288551' post='3205945'] Is this active? IMO flats are good on passive basses but waste the range and breadth of tones you can get out of a pre amp. [/quote] [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1483349913' post='3206326'] This. [/quote] I guess if you don't really don't like flats generally, or don't like a particular set of flats, then an active or passive bass can make little or no improvement. However, I can't see that whether the pre-amp is in the bass (or in a floor box, or in a rack, or merely in the amplifier) can make any significant difference.

    When I had a G&L 2500, I used Thomastik Jazz Flats and found them to be excellent.

    If it's ok to use frets or amplification, it's ok to use tablets. Unless you really are old school ... in which case no frets, no amplification and a music stand not a tablet.
