We're getting a good list now, very nice to see. Don't forget to dig out those raffle prizes, folks!

Yes, she was always so positive and upbeat. And their double-act was a proper laugh. Oh god, poor Pete. I can't begin to imagine how he must be feeling.

Going back quite a long way, some of you might remember her... Mrs Tinman lost her fight with cancer at the end of June.

Who Cares? - Extreme

100° And Rising - Incognito

I've had this a couple of weeks actually, but just used it in a band setting for the first time last night. Very impressed. This one was a bargain as it was a right mess (see 'before' pic) but a bit of paint and a cleanup later, it's much better. It sounds great, and will perform its intended role of rehearsal/small gig amp perfectly. The amp it's replacing is an old Behringer 60w 1x12, which is outclassed in every way by this. Remarkably the TC is several pounds lighter than the Behringer too, despite being somewhat larger. Anyone else using a BG250 combo like this? Likes & dislikes? I have yet to play with the Toneprint thingy and to be honest I probably won't bother. It sounds fine as it is.

I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair - South Pacific OST

Back in 1986 or 7, two of my colleagues who had recently become a romantic item went to that year's Glasto. On the following Tuesday, I asked them which bands they'd seen... turned out that the answer was 'none'. They'd spent the entire weekend in their tent, smoking dope and shagging. So yes, they never got within earshot of the Pyramid either.

Twist & Crawl - The Beat

Can I just get in really early for Glasto 2027? Ahem. God, the lineup is crap. Why haven't they got all the bands that *I* like? Thank you.

I have yet to be in the same room as a top end Fender Custom Shop instrument, let alone play one. I would dearly love to, just to see if they're worth the considerable wedge. To date, the best Fender-style bass I have ever played was a Celinder Jazz. It was sublime. The CS basses would have to go some to beat that. Generally though, I have to say that this... ...is also my usual answer to anything bass.

Ew! - Jimmy Fallon and will.i.am

Yes I Do - Gregory Isaacs

She's So Poplar - Frank Stallone

This thread is about music, not politics or paramilitaries or gender identity. That's why it's in the GD forum. Please stick to the subject or it gets locked. Thank you.

Sunbed Song - Level 42

Hell yes, no point in having them otherwise. The Shuker comes out for Destroyers gigs, and at the moment it's the Spector (my best currently-working 4) for Skaville gigs. My Wal Pro is up on blocks at the moment, needing some serious electronical fettling, but as soon as it's match fit it'll be coming out to play ska. None of my basses are case queens.

OK, please bear with me as I am only just now dipping my toe into IEM waters, and only really for my backing vox. The idea being that the in-ears themselves just give me a vocal feed and are loosely inserted so that they do NOT provide a tight seal in my ears, so that I get the ambient sound of my bass coming through (the bass being quite loud on stage as it's backline only and not going through the PA). It's all very simple stuff, just a monitor output from the desk fired through a 5.8GHz wireless gadget into a set of in-ears. In the very first post in this huge thread, there's mention of KZ ZS10 buds as a good place to start... would these do as a toe-dip? I'd like something with a decent bass response so I could also use them with an mp3 player etc for long journeys or the like. I realise this has probably been covered somewhere within the thread, but I don't really have the time to trawl through 74 pages. Linsoul-KZ-ZS10 Earphones

Make My Day -- T. G. Sheppard & Clint Eastwood

Why? - The Specials

We have a tiny music store in town, from what I can gather it relies on its (extremely good and busy) upstairs music school to survive. And I'm glad it does. All I ever buy from there is picks, as I don't need any budget basses and they don't carry my preferred strings. But it's nice to know it's there.
