I would love one of these. I have no gig for it at all, and don't envisage a suitable one any time in the future, so it would basically never leave the house. But I would love one anyway.

Goat To Keep On - Chemical Brothers

This. I know there's no way I could gig a 13lb bass, but it's not my bass, it's yours -- if you're happy to live with the weight because you love the sound, that's all that matters.

Heaven Can Wait - Judie Tzuke ❤️

Aye. I've seen far better than this on £70 Westfields.

When We Was Flab - George Harrison

(Forever) Live and Die - OMD

Die You Bastard - Motörhead

After depping for them last year in the US, Becky has now joined the legendary Danes on a permanent basis. It's fabulous news and I'm totally made up for her -- she actually depped for me in the Destroyers once about a thousand years ago, and since then I've watched her star rising higher and higher, with bands like Hands Off Gretel and Fury. She's a superb, hardworking musician and a tremendous advocate for women in music. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=927991258690357&set=a.267725878050235

Sad news.

Precisely. I've seen no "hate" here, just differences of opinion. 'Not to my taste' is a million miles from 'hate', and as for "especially on BC", that sound you can hear is me laughing.

Grandad - Clive (been and gone and) Dunn (it)

Damn, you beat me to it. He could have been in a thrash band.

Oh that's a bit harsh, Joe seems like a nice enough bloke.

2400 bucks and this is the best they could do. That's somewhere between a joke and an insult. Ah well, I'm sure it won't bother the dentists and lawyers who will be the ones buying it to hang on their walls or stick in their vaults.

Well you know what they say about a fool and his money.

@toneknob, is this your band?

Bloody hell. This is stunning. https://fb.watch/pEGsneG2Qd/

I saw a touring Italian Rush trib called 'La Villa Strangiato' last year, they were excellent right up until the guitarist's rig completely went on the fritz. These guys are just as good in every way. If they come to my neck of the woods, I'd definitely go check them out. Hopefully by then the vocalist won't need to crib the lyrics off a tablet. That bass tone is absolutely spot on. As an aside, my first band at school was called 'Emotional Feedback'. We weren't a Rush trib, we just liked the name. I suspect this bunch are rather better than we were.

Oh god, it keeps doing that. Hope you manage to get back to it at some point.

To me also.
