^^^ This. Very much this.

That's all the confirmation I need. Thanks, Dave.

Someone posted a 'bass dep wanted' ad on a local FB page a year or so ago. A friend contacted them to ask them for more info. They were told the successful applicant would actually be miming to a track, but it was essential that they attend a rehearsal beforehand. He politely passed on the opportunity. 😜

Yeah, that's for music playback. Ta for the suggestion, though...

(Note to Apple haters.. move along. I've heard it all already 😄) Hey gang I recently picked up a used 7 Plus recently, with a view to handing my 6 down to my daughter. I noticed that the 'earpiece' speaker of the 7 Plus was far quieter than both my 6, and my wife's 5s. I assumed it was jiggered, so I got my money back. So, plan B: I've just picked up a used 6s Plus from a friend who really looks after his stuff. It's immaculate, but lo-and-behold... the call volume is much quieter again. I've done the usual troubleshooting - installing updates, noise cancellation, checked the speaker grille for obstructions, with no luck. It's got me wondering... are they just quieter phones? Has some EU directive been introduced to limit the volume? ...or am I just unlucky? Ta!

It's not really a non-issue though, is it? Why do you think manufacturers use power ratings in their marketing?

Yep, but I can only speak as I find.

I came to the realisation fairly early on that my RH450 had the dynamic response of a semi-deflated paddling pool. When the ratings scandal broke, it explained everything, but I'd sold it long before that.

Yep.

One can always dream... Incidentally, Winter Song was on the setlist for this gig too, just acoustic guitar, vocal (neither from Rod) and bass. Faced with the prospect of playing one of the loveliest bass parts I know with it's originator watching in the wings 20 feet away, it felt right to ask him if he would like to play it instead. He graciously declined. No pressure, then.

I can't even begin to answer that...

Folk...?

I do indeed. And I got to do this once..

Possibly - but performers have to be prepared for criticism.

Jack wins on avatar alone.

Apart from the geet obvious solo over the fade, there's a few bars in the middle too.

Listen closer... 🙂

Meant to post this a while ago. What a performer this guy is.

Here's the full, sordid tale...

I absolutely love this song - I did know about the Bruce Woolley version, and I quite like it. SHAMELESS PLUG: Did I ever tell you all about the time I did this? Yes, I probably did. But here it is anyway.

Mark’s a Lovely chap.

FWIW, it doesn't worry me a jot.

With the likes of Limelight around, I have no idea why people even bother buying new CS relics.
