Can someone summarise this thread for me, please? I got to the first page, had the OP down as lazy, but by the looks of it things have got interesting. I haven't got time to read the whole thing, though. :-(

[quote name='daveparker123' timestamp='1336934595' post='1652973'] No, it was moving my ass about the stage. The PA subs were about 10 metres in front of me. [/quote] 'Ass'.. *shudder* Anyway, I usually find that it's the really big lows that make the difference for me at big gigs. They just make everything feel a bit more... effortless.

Cheers! That lovely jazz is still nailed to the wall. What a shame...

Hi all I played at Montgomery Hall in Wath last weekend as part of the annual festival. It was a fab day. Here's a tune... the bass isn't particularly prominent, but it doesn't really need to be on this tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRqi4ItvMDM

Noooooooo! :-( RIP Duck. Oh, man...

You've just proved that it's impossible to ruin jazz.

Very sensible, those Canadians. All their stupidity is drained by clubbing seals. All that's left is common sense.

Given that I think the Promethean is the vest-value bit of kit I've ever bought, these other versions are pretty much being given away. Amazing.

Righty-ho... I'm back from my soiree with the band, armed with a photo. It turns out that it's MIJ, not MIA, but still....! Apparently, the bar owner just likes guitars, and he's bought it partly as an investment, and partly because he likes the look of it. I have to agree... It's a stunner.

Hi all I'm down in Wath, playing at a festival. The venue is a big hall, an there's a bar in it. As far as I can tell, it's permanent, not temporary. As you often see, there's an instrument 'nailed' to the bar wall. It's not the usual japcrap Les Paul copy, or cheapy snare drum... It is - I crap you not - what appears to be an immaculate FSR Fender Jazz in LPB, complete with rosewood and blocks. It's stuck on by a metal bracket which goes under the strings at the headstock, and there doesn't seem to be a quick way to release it and get it down, so it looks like it's never used. I'm now on a mission to find out what the story is. Bizarre.

....it has to be said, seeing this drummer again is a breath of fresh air compared to the blizzard of 'May the fourth be with you!'s' that I'm weathering at the moment...

OMG LULZ That drummer b HILARYIOUS!

...featuring my mate Pete on the fiddle. He's probably the best there is right now, and he's got the world at his feet. The jammy get. The other guitarist is Rufus Miller, Dominic's young'un.

[quote name='jezzaboy' timestamp='1336038774' post='1639755'] I have had the dvd version for a few years and it`s mostly good except too much Joe Walsh. [/quote] Too much Joe Walsh? Impossible!

The Strat Pack is a weird gig. Some of it is unbelievably shambolic, and the editing is terrible. And Jamie Cullum...? Some good stuff on it, though. Annie Clements is stunning. :-o

[quote name='BarnacleBob' timestamp='1335979880' post='1639054'] The Memorial concert was awful IMO - great tunes done not very well. [/quote] Most of it was so-so, but when they did Baker Street my jaw hit the floor. I thought it was incredible... This version of 'Get It Right Next Time' from the this year's hogmanay is mint.

[quote name='dave31kdrums' timestamp='1335881924' post='1637468'] Just saw this link to win a Fender Jazz Bass; [url="http://www.rockschool.co.uk/news/competitions/201205/"]http://www.rockschoo...titions/201205/[/url] [/quote] It's your website, isn't it?

It's a tinted B&W pic.

It only has a tube preamp - the power stage is solid-state.

I listened to Xanadu in the car today. It was awesome. Punchy as hell. Headlong Flight came on immediately afterwards and really drove home how terrible modern mastering is. It was like listening to it through a telephone.

I've got one of those coming up as Skegness in December - the Great British Folk weekend. I've done a rock and roll weekend there once before, and it was fun.

IMO they've got no chance of matching past glories until they sort the songwriting out.
