  1. I'd actually find it quite handy, but at £106 posted I think I'll pass. I don't want it that much.
  2. I'm fairly lost for words really. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283024783698
  3. I expect he went off on one as usual, without thinking through what he was saying or how it might pss a lot of people off. He has form.
  4. Well let's hope not 😕 Certainly looks like it's got SCAM written all over it.
  5. Looks pukka to me. He's just a bloke who's got this items for sales,email.
  6. Yes, we supported them at the Thekla in Brizzle a couple of months back. They were fantastic. (Playing at the Thekla was a tick off the bucket list too ) EDIT: here's a dreadful pic I took from our privileged AAA position.
  7. Aww c'mon, you can't leave it hanging like this. What happened then? What did the bride tell her and did it involve the word 'off'? We need to know.
  8. Sgt Pepper's Only Dart Board Band have apparently retired. But some of them are reforming as the Unravelling Wilburys.
  9. I reckon our MD could come up with a brilliant horns-heavy arrangement for Dancing Queen. I'd love to do it, it has a fabulous bassline. And talk about a guaranteed floor filler..!

    1959 Jazz Bass

    Here's another '59 Jazz...
  11. Judging by the other comments here, that's £54 too much
  12. Punter came up and handed me a slip of paper once, with a request on it. At the end of the song, I announced "We've had a request from one of you lovely people, it's for a song called...", I unfolded the paper and read, "...'youre crap, pack up and fk off'..." Nah, not really. But it's only a matter of time till it does happen.
  13. Disruptor weapons, photon torpedoes, plasma torpedoes, cloaking technology, artificial singularities, holotechnology and telepresence?
  14. The best one I ever had was during a gig with my old jazz-fusion trio at a jazz venue in Bristol. We had just finished a John Scofield tune and were about to launch into another instrumental epic when this I've-had-one-alcopop-too-many student-type came up to me. "Do you do Iron Man by Black Sabbath?" he asked. I looked at him incredulously. "Do we sound like the sort of band that does Iron Man by Black Sabbath?" I replied with a laugh. We launched into the aforementioned instrumental epic, at the end of which there he was again. "Do you know Iron Man by Black Sabbath?" he asked. "No we bloody don't", I replied somewhat testily. I wandered away from him to try to signal that the exchange was definitely ended and we dived into another lengthy widdle. At the end, yup, there he was again. "Why won't you play Iron Man?" he demanded. I gave him my very best Paddington Bear Hard Stare. "Oh come on, you must know it!" he said. "Look pal," I said in a firm this-conversation-is-over tone, "just f*** off eh?". Thankfully, he got the message and f***ed off. I'm pretty sure he was only doing it for a laugh anyway. Perhaps his poncy mates put him up to it. (I wouldn't normally tell a punter to sex-&-travel, but this gimboid was seriously getting on my toot.)
  15. You do realize that you may well have triggered a flood of demand for Klingon flag guitar straps, don't you? With me at the front of the queue
  16. Rrright. So when he says "yorkshire band...", he really means "bloke...".

    PRicky?

    Just started listening to this again on the iPlayer and noticed this. What's going on here then? I presume it's a butchered Faker?
  18. I still have my old long-sleeved (black with grey sleeves) BC t-shirt with the 'old' logo. Really excellent quality garment, hasn't thinned or worn with age at all. I think it will outlast me. I'd be interested in a polo as I could wear it to work -- my Wal polo is sadly too small for me now (or rather, I am too lardy for it). Something other than black though.
  19. Thanks. That's a whole bunch of nightmarish mental images that I simply cannot now unsee. In ten years' time, I shall be lying on a psychiatrist's couch telling him about this moment.
  20. And that's exactly how I approach my XT Live too. Patch 1A is a total bypass with no FX or EQ or models and the output volume set to the same level as a plain lead. Everything else is based on this.
  21. The way I see it, by the time my tone has made its way through the PA or fought for its place in the backline alongside the guitars/keys/drums/etc, the only fecker who's going to notice my overly deep filter sweep or bright distortion is me. Live sound is always a compromise really.
  22. My Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live does everything I could want for live work. If I was to replace it with anything, it'd be a Helix or similar. I can't see me ever going back to individual stomps. So for me, yes they've pretty much had their day.
  23. I used a combination of these two. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Concentric-Control-Knob-for-Bass-Guitar-Gold-Chrome-Plated-High-Quality/251164962587?var=550186356404&hash=item3a7a992f1b:g:PcoAAOSwZFdacMw https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Metal-electric-guitar-control-knobs-in-chrome-black-or-gold-tone-or-volume-/390769842515
