I stopped gigging years ago as I just didn't enjoy it. I hung onto my gear for years until I finally sold it all (apart from one bass that I hang onto purely for "investment purposes") a year or so ago. Any playing I've done over the past few years has been on acoustic guitar but I don't even do that anymore so I'll probably sell my guitars soon too.

Use a keyboard like they did on "Black Velvet".

Vocals sound painfully out of tune to me, which is a shame as the rest of it is really well played.

Think how you would feel if it was happening next door to you.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1493913866' post='3291817'] Often thought of this as a nice to have... I'm an 84 man so suppose that's Aria SB? And it would have to be lefty also... Not a lot of choice. [/quote] Some nice Ibanez basses around that time too.

"No Roses" - Shirley Collins & The Albion Country Band.

[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1493885486' post='3291472'] Just to buck the current trend of dates....1991, anybody think of a particularly special bass from that era? [/quote] I'd say you're spoilt for choice there, It would be much easier to find a YOB bass I'd want to own from 1991 than from my actual birth year (1965).

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1493841912' post='3291248'] I was born in 1962 but my birthday is 28th December which, I suspect, means that most factories would have been closed for the rest of the year. [/quote] Not necessarily. America make more of a thing of Thanksgiving than they do of Christmas. I have friends in the US who only have a half day off on Christmas Day. Chances are the factories would have been working.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1493844048' post='3291274'] I didn't have a problem with DH's voice, she just looks a bit has-been sad these days. [/quote] She's 72! A friend of mine is seeing Blondie at the Roundhouse tonight. He's put a few short live clips on Facebook & to be fair they're sounding pretty damn good.

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1493814886' post='3290873'] I think some people do take it quite seriously. Here's the result of a quick YouTube search: [url="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=432+hz"][media]http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=432+hz[/media][/url] [/quote] Blimey.

Is all that hippy guff about cosmic frequencies & stuff at the beginning of the clip meant to be a joke or is it serious?

I'm more of a 431Hz kind of guy.

But you wouldn't be selling a cab, you'd be selling a combo without the amp section, which a lot of people wouldn't want.

[quote name='skb558' timestamp='1493739819' post='3290327'] Been listening to Lisa Hannigan - At Swim. Like this a lot. [/quote] Great album. Love all her stuff.

[quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1493730487' post='3290201'] It's not all doom and gloom. [/quote] It is if you want it to be...

[quote name='Wayne Firefly' timestamp='1493729738' post='3290190'] I'd love a Legacy but buying used is the way I would go in future !! Who knows what'll come up ??!! [/quote] I bought both my Legacys secondhand, there's no way i could have afforded them new.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1493729391' post='3290179'] If that's how you see it then yes, most definitely. If that behaviour, perceived or otherwise, offends you why not do the mature thing and pass by his posts? You don't get offended and Blue's topic suffers less disruption. Win-win. Other suggestions are available. Have a nice day. PS; I [i]am[/i] pretty much a bedroom player myself. I can laugh at it too because I know that [u]we[/u] are the future. Heeheehee [/quote] It doesn't offend me in the slightest, if I got offended by narrow minded old men who repeatedly state opinion as fact then Basschat would be a pretty stupid place to be a member of. I continue to read his posts in the remote possibility that one day he might say something that will change my opinion of him. I also see other people replying to his posts who seemingly feel the same way about them as I do & I'm always interested in their responses.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1488955851' post='3253148'] No, it's a very genuine dislike of the whole Jamiroquai sound, their songs and JK's vocal stylings. It actually makes my skin crawl and toes curl up ( as the saying goes).. Lots of other artists I'd consider myself to be a little envious of though; either for their talent, success, seemingly wonderful life etc, but definitely not Jamiroquai. [/quote] They effect me like that too.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1493725639' post='3290124'] The reviews seem surprisingly favourable. Is this a result of the internet? and publications wanting linkage? Historically the press have hated us. Does nobody give a bad review anymore? [/quote] I think a lot of it has to do with a lot of music reviews now being written by genuine music fans & not by music journalists who were more interested in their own fame than the bands they were writing about.

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1493710196' post='3290005'] I have [u]never[/u] seen this sort of behaviour from Blue. [/quote] So you interpret his remarks differently from me (and possibly some others on here too). I regard his constant belittling of bedroom players, start up bands & anything else that doesn't fit with his myopic mindset as little more than trolling.

They are superb basses, my Legacys were the best basses I've ever owned.

It's a Wishbass, so called because people buy them & then say "I wish I hadn't bought this bass".

Wear a head torch?

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1493460186' post='3288466'] It's the Big Al before there was a Big Al [/quote] That is infinitely cooler than a Big Al.
