E sharp

It did get close at times , but some of the remarks did make me laugh - was probably one of my favourite running topics .

Now's as good a time than ever to buy one on here . Cheaper than I've ever seem them

I'm getting nothing . No pictures or sound , just a pop up wanting me to install something

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1408991197' post='2535313'] Remember now when I was back up int'Yorkshire..we played a Wedding at a Wedding venue near Halifax. As we finished 4 merry guests came up to us and asked if they could use our instruments. I asked the guy who wanted to play my Bass if I could have his car keys. He asked why, I explained if he damaged my gear I would need to have a surety for compensation. He obviously thought I was being arsey ( which I was a bit!) and said forget it. As we packed away one of the other guests told us that was the drummer and bassist from Embrace and their mates...! [/quote] Shouldn't make much difference - would he let you use his gear . Most known 'pros' , know less about how to use gear than your average weekend warrior , I reckon . Point in case is Norman Watt Roy , who everyone still insists is a diamond geezer (and he may well be) , even when there's countless tales of him using the support band's rig , and half breaking something - with no talk of paying for it .

I've just listened to a massive build up for Killing in the Name , and they never got to even the 2nd verse , before stopping it . Waste of time

I'm probably in the minority , and gonna get slated - but this racket , is pretty much how I hear most of Led Zep . I've just never 'got' them at all . At least with this vid , they're nicer to look at

The Grapes , in Bury St Edmunds . Last gig after 21 years - singer had enough . One of the best gigs , and a monster turn out . Sort of elated and flat at the same time . Going to look for someone else , as it's too good a band to stop , but it's just going to feel a bit strange . Onwards and upwards though .

Penultimate gig with the band last night - 22 years . New venue , and first and last time , strangely enough . Next week is the last one .

That's great when that happens . I gave an old Trace head to a young kid starting up who I knew , and also other bits and pieces away . It's just nice to do it if you can . I remember being helped out when I first started , and I've never forgotten it . I vowed to do the same , and I have - tuners , stands , books , videos , and the like . Not much , but just stuff lying around . I think the person giving gets almost as much as the person receiving , and if I'm anything to go by , by doing this , you're almost ensuring that that person does the same further on down the line .

[quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1403993400' post='2488446'] Whenever I get a bit " Meh, Metallica aren't what they were" I see a live performance and then think " Oh yeah, THATS why I loved em!" The riffs, the riffs!!! [/quote] Yeah , I've never been a big fan , even though we do 2 of their songs . But I'm really enjoying it . Also flicking back and forth to Bryan Ferry , with Gut Pratt on bass - the bass sounds really good .

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1403685786' post='2485183'] Where's best for the conventional (solderable) right angled 'low profile' (flat) plugs? This type, with guaranteed quality. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hosa-IRG-100-5-Low-Profile-Right-Angle-1-4-Jack-Patch-Cable-6-/281343823905"]http://www.ebay.co.u...6-/281343823905[/url] I've had a few where the jack column can rotate in its casing - not sure that's a good thing? [/quote] These are what I use . I had loads of George L's with cable , spent an age making them up (really carefully) and they kept going wrong . My mate had the same issue . I know many folk swear by them and have no troubles with them , but TBH , I found them a load of rubbish (over 100 quids worth , I got so annoyed I threw them away) . Hosa for me now - even more room on board and excellent quality .

I liked that , but I'd say about half of the songs , I've never heard of - probably showing my ignorance . But well played

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1402384942' post='2472752'] Is he playing the inflatable beer can? [/quote] Ha ha - no idea mate . He arrives every year - sort of an institution if you like . Maybe this thread can be pinned , and be a sort of ongoing thing , where people post pictures or footage of punters with the band .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNONLCWNKtI .. 50 seconds in - this bloke appears every year he he

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1402091204' post='2470081'] Very cool! All very different. I'm off to search for more about the prunes and custard, that sound very interesting. [/quote] It's a unique pedal , with a few different sounds to it

Only also really only work off the same ring main . If you've got a house with more than one , If they're each using a different ring , then they may not work at all .

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1399653625' post='2446393'] [size=3]Where's Seth? Try asking Ernie Shuttleworth... (sniffs frostily)[/size] [/quote] Saw that coming a mile off , but still made me laugh - good call

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1398270037' post='2432315'] Good work! They are cracking basses, if I ever consider selling mine please shoot me [/quote] Just got the kids to bed and had a little play for the first time , and it's just a lovely bass . Was after a high end jazz keeper , and in my mind it's up there with the real top stuff , for a fraction of the cost .

I've ended up with this - he he

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1395757944' post='2405857'] I listen most days, I try to somehow work "selective hearing". How many times have I heard a really good song, and have to go on the website playlist to find out who it's by because he doesn't say. After all. the records are secondary to the DJ, right? (or Wright). [/quote] This annoys me too . Though he's not the only one, not to say what he's playing .

It's a buyers market - always has been . I've been toying with the idea of buying a Crest CA9 , and there's one on Ebay at a shop for £675 , which is overpriced I reckon . I've asked questions to other sellers on there , and they've said that , that's the going price , as there's one on Ebay for £675 . Totally forgetting the fact , that it's never sold in well over a year . Bottom line is - stuff is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it - recession or not . Bit crappy , if you're the one doing the selling , but this is what's called a Free Market .

I've got this on DVD , plus another few . But I never realised that they did so many other ones . Thanks for the info - gonna buy a few more now . As even if you're not a fan of one of the bands , they're still great to watch , for the band interaction and detail , if nothing else . Were these done by the BBC?

Martyn Booth is excellent - In Sudbury

Good call on Nick Seymour from Crowded House - sort of a strange player , but really works . Also Nigel Harrison as mentioned . I also like the late James Dewer , with Robin Trower - but also liked what Rusty did with that band too . Clive Chamen is also good .
