    Not necessarily... This is what I did too. I have a 9-to-5 and am in no way a pro muso, but I provided youtube links and band Facebook pages which demonstrated that I am in quite busy and popular bands, and I was accepted on the strength of that. It seems to me that in reality the main criterion is how much you play, rather than how much you earn. It's 40 quid bloody well spent.

    I do hope Shep pokes his head round the door here. Would be great to hear from him again.

    Yes! What was the name of his duo project? They made some outrageous noises.

    Ovation Magnum, big lairy old amp, and a pedalboard the size of The Isle of Wight.

    NEPD... my new custom moulded earplugs have arrived, courtesy of the Musicians' Hearing Health Scheme. 👍👂👂👂

      @andybassdoyle it's something the MU are involved in. Well worth looking into.

      Those things are excellent and that scheme is a great thing. Had mine for years and wore them last night. Can't be without them!

    Would you consider splitting? Interested in the amp.

    Assuming he'll change the shape of that godawful headstock.

    I just bought Paul's Zoom pedal thingy. Quick and easy, buy with confidence. (n.b. the transaction was quick and easy, not Paul )

    Aww no fair, I wanted the dirt Agreed wholeheartedly. Noise at these shows needs to be policed.

    One of my bands uses Farcebook messenger. The other uses Whatsapp and Doodle. Both use Google calendar. They seem to work ok so far.

    Whose was that booth?

    When you factor in the cost of the pre-amp, this is a mad bargain. GLWTS.

    This ^^ How hard would it be to duplicate the front input jack on the back?

    Even with the currently lousy exchange rate, 450 EUR is still only *fumbles with calculator* £383. That is a frankly ludicrous bargain for this. FFS somebody buy it before I do something Mrs Rich my credit card I will regret.

    Elixirs all the way for me. I find them to be just bright enough without being stupidly toppy, and they stay that way for ages. The set I've just taken off my Sire are 18 months old, and I've put 4 of them onto the Thunder 1A as they're plenty lively enough yet. The main thing I love about them is the silky feel though. I wouldn't use anything else now.

    It's even better with a horn section 😁

    Good toe-dippers do crop up, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. My sixer is a fairly tatty Ibanez BTB406 that I picked up pre-loved/abused on fleabay for £100. Neck is fine, plays well and sounds great, it's just the aesthetics that have taken a kicking and obviously put off other potential buyers.

    Lovely job. Well done indeed.

    I'm interested, but not sure what the 'usual Fender dimensions' are and need to make sure it will fit my spare J body... can you tell me what the heel width is plz? Ta I presume everything is as it should be -- no humps, truss rod works, etc?
  22. Rich
    Oh yes, very definitely one of those 'fantasy dinner guests'.

    Many years back, Kiwi brought his gobsmackingly lovely Smith 5-string round to my gaff; we set up my then rig (Eden WT400 head, SWR Triad cab) in the garage, turned it well up... 20 seconds later a shelf fell off the wall. It seems even storage units are critics. In all seriousness, the tone was so beautiful that we came to the conclusion that Smith basses and Eden amps were made for each other.

    And here's what NP said a year later on the subject of that interview: https://rushvault.com/2011/08/29/excerpt-may-5-1979-nme-interview-with-neil/ Everyone is allowed to have different politics in their youth. In 1977, Paul Weller told a music fanzine that he and the band would "all be voting Conservative at the next election". He'd changed his mind by '79 and some years later he claimed he'd only said that to shock people. People change and so do their beliefs. I know that 2020 me shudders at the thought of some of what 1978 me used to think.
