While we're on - and I know it's not JJ's fault - can I just register my disgust at the appalling approach to the bass part on the Tribute CD? What an insult to a song which is all about groove. Thank you for letting me get it off my chest amongst like-minded people.

Yep, I’m aware of that, but the glue on the truss mentioned earlier was unfortunate.

Yep, I realised pretty quickly that he was a man of few words (a bit like another Polish chap I know!). Three lovely basses down the road, I’d be happy to buy again, although the truss issues flagged here are a little sad to see.

Check the RAH show on the new Stage Fright deluxe edition...

Jesus. I hope I never hear it done not properly.

God, I hope not. I’ll have to put all mine in the bin 😄

As a prog fan, I'm shrugging my shoulders at most of these. A couple of interesting successes though... Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police: The first two minutes is the tune - the remaining two minutes is basically an unrelated play-out. Having said that, none if it is flab, it's all great. Catherine Wheels by Crowded House: The second half is an unrelated jam, and it's all absolutely beautiful.

...also known as Pulse by Pink Floyd. Seriously - it was ridiculous.

Literally speed it up.

Yes indeed.

Honestly, as a player, I can't see the issue. It might be that there's something I don't know about (can't think what) or... it might just be a PITA for them to accommodate.

Yep, I'm a flat-headstock-and-zero-fret guy, and it plays like a dream. No issues. To be fair, I did tentatively speak to Adrian a little while ago about a new build with the same config and while he did grumble a bit, he said he would do it. Thanks, Al. No, for a couple of reasons - I don't play fives, but I discounted Sandberg for basically superficial reasons - they don't click with me visually.

I’m taking about the ‘Wedding Set’ scene, really. Thankfully I only have half a toe in it.

It wasn’t, actually. I find the last 10/15 years or so have been pretty slow.

God, tunes are more formulaic than ever these days. This could have been released ten years ago.

Virtuality by Rush: Net boy, net girl Send your impulse 'round the world Put your message in a modem And throw it in the Cyber Sea Ha ha ha... what a load of cack. Bless ya, Neil.

A deluxe edition of Stage Fright has just landed on Spotify, with new mixes and an Albert Hall show. The new mixes are significant. Someone finally found the reverb knob, and they've really brought the tunes to life. I like them.

The original SoS is a beautiful, delicate thing. Disturbed should stick to writing their own angsty teenage primal screams.

Powerline WiFi extenders will do this.

Great tune. Hideous cover.

They're singing to a playback, but yes - it sounds like he probably had that when they tracked it, too.

It's one to nail to a pub wall, I think. (Pubs. Remember them?)
