Today it's been announced that Hipgnosis have bought all - or a significant part of - the publishing to both Neil Young ($150m) and Lindsey Buckingham's back-catalogues. It's a free economy of course, but along with Bob Dylan, Jimmy Iovine, Stevie Nicks selling their stuff... I wonder where it will end...? I find it slightly depressing.

And so it continues... Today it's been announced that Hipgnosis have bought all - or a significant part of - the publishing to both Neil Young ($150m) and Lindsey Buckingham's back-catalogues. It's a free economy of course, but along with recent purchases from Bob Dylan, Jimmy Iovine, Stevie Nicks... I wonder where it will end...? I find it slightly depressing.

That'll be one of our very own Si's instruments, I think...

As far as I'm concerned, we're all just guests on Planet Aretha. https://youtu.be/k33sINjn9o0

I bought something from Phil a while ago. Nice guy.

Ah, I was looking on BBC4. Ta!

What time is it on? I can’t see it..?

They let that logo through to production. The rest of it shouldn’t be surprising 😄

More than watchable. It's astonishing.

According to his FB post, it's an Ibanez BTB 1906SM.

I've got a few new'uns in, but confidence isn't high.

I'm not going to play whack-a-mole with this thread. Keep it on the practicalities of the thread subject, or it's getting locked.

Some facts are best discussed on Twitter and Facebook.

I've removed a few posts. I appreciate it's a a fine line to walk given the subject matter, but can we stay off politics & the rights and wrongs, please? Thank you.

There’s a bigger one on the Fraud thread.

For anyone who's dealt with Tommy before, word on the gata is that he's still aiming to get back to work. Appreciate he's going to have to graft to regain confidence, but I'm glad 'cos I talked to him a lot, and got pretty friendly with him. Let's hope he's building again soon.

My stock answer to this: Most of history's iconic basslines involve a BBOT.

It's a CS, not a '63.

The P-ish position sounded best 😄

If you custom-ordered a maple neck in the late 60s during the rosewood-only era it would have a maple cap. It was never a standard thing (until fairly recently, from the looks of it).

The 66 slabs were known for a lot of quirky things, but they’re a drop in the ocean....

Maple caps must be a relatively new thing... maybe on graphite reinforced necks?

They usually are...?

Ah, fairy nuff. In that case, it definitely looks legit.

Looks good other than the maple cap isn't something I'd expect to see..?
