    I'm just going to pop outside and check my lawn for groundhogs.

    Did anyone else listen to Friday Night Is Music Night on Radio 2 the other, errm, night? Celebrating 80 years of television, it was wall to wall TV themes all played beautifully by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Highlights for me were Grandstand, Hill Street Blues and Inspector Morse, but it was all superb. And I'd never noticed before that the Are You Being Served? theme had such a cool bassline! It's available on the iPlayer, highly recommended.

    Our MD specialises in 'interesting' arrangements. For example: - 16 bars of Soul Limbo in the middle of Walking on Sunshine. - Mashup of Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This and 7 Nation Army. - 32 bars of Walk This Way in the middle of Walk The Dinosaur.

    As a Wal owner, I am hopelessly biased 😄 but I also had a Status for many years and, yes, chalk and cheese.

    [quote name='geoff90guitar' timestamp='1475518335' post='3146578'] Spaghetti logo. These early models caused a conflict with Fender, they didn't like it. Lawsuit if you like. Funny how the woods in the 82-83 USA Fenders, Fenders up to 73', 82-83 JV's and early Tokai basses give the basses a warm tone, punchy, and an even volume across the strings (including pre CBS of course) and are much sought after. I've replaced the original pickup - which is A1, with a Seymour SPB3. As the pole pieces in the SD are big, it does make it a very loud bass. Has some dings on the body as you would expect. Frets still good with no fret buzz. Truss rod works fine. Nut width 40mm Weight 3.9kg 8.6lbs. Original p/u included New set of 45-105 Rotosound round wound strings on. Tatty case included. [/quote] Nnnnnice. These Tokais are often better than the real thing. GLWTS!

    Three that spring immediately to mind are 'For Once In My Life' -- for my money, Jamerson's finest hour -- 'Cupid's Dead' by Extreme, and Manring's 'The Enormous Room'.

    The live 'Bring On The Night' album is one of my favourite albums of all time. It's worth having just for the first track.

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1476635296' post='3155828'] I ditched all of my pedals about 6 months ago, and I'm now using a MacBook, soon to be replaced by an iPad . [/quote] I too ditched all my stomps -- the Deep Impact too, that took a deep breath -- and went down the Line 6 route. A Bass Pod XT Live in my case. Weighs about the same as the pedalboard but neater and more convenient. Ok so the models aren't as good as the real thing, but hey, it's live. Nobody notices but me 😄😄

    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1476555690' post='3155228'] It's a Westone Rainbow 2, a Matsumoko offering from 1986, a Y.O.B for me. I've had it for about 20 years. It's beautiful [/quote] Having just googled, I concur. Very pretty.

    My Wal and my Shuker. Neither of them are going anywhere.

    I like sound of flats, on a P especially -- who doesn't? 😎 -- but I absolutely HATE the feel of them. That smoothness feels almost slimy, it really makes my skin crawl. Eucchhh.

    Fumbling twathood. 😕 Seriously though... I'd say groove-driven. Pocket rather than flash. I'd rather drive the bus than jump over it on a motorbike.

    If anyone has a problem with my recent posts and actions, take it up with an admin. Thanks.

    Christ, am I talking to myself? To re-cap: We had a Brexit thread. It ran, had its 15 minutes, and is now locked. The subject is therefore closed. We have a longstanding 'avoid politics' policy. It's there for a reason. I've already asked once (and repeated once) that politics in general and Brexit specifically should be avoided in this thread. Comments have now been unapproved, as will any more that appear.
  17. Rich
    Mine certainly isn't going anywhere.

    [quote name='Grahambythesea' timestamp='1476289665' post='3153095'] Does Tanglewood actually make anything in Britain? All the ones I've seen are Asian made "designed in Britain"! LOL[/quote]Mr Kiwi may have been talking in terms of his country of domicile, i.e. China. [quote]Don't worry "Brexit means Brexit" and Britain is heading in the direction of being an overpriced third world backwater. [/quote] Ahem.

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1476288880' post='3153087'] Can't really get cleaner than 2x12 EBS Neo. [/quote] I own one of these cabs and would heartily concur with this. It's right up there with my old SWR Triad in terms of glassy hi-fi smoothness.

    I've got seriously into audiobooks of late. There are loads on youtube. Currently listening to David Baldacci's "The Last Mile". Recent ones include Jaws, The Silence Of The Lambs, Red Dragon, The Diary Of A Nobody.

    Sennheiser HD280pro. Love them.

    [quote name='Ba55me15ter' timestamp='1476181758' post='3151975'] All the music nerds I've ever played Milliontown to love it! They've just announced some new live dates for April next year - [url="http://frost.life/tour-dates/"]http://frost.life/tour-dates/[/url] [/quote] I would crawl naked over broken glass to get to the Southampton gig. (Not a pretty image, please try not to think about it.)

    The guitarist in one of our support bands turned up with a beautiful Les Paul, a Marshall 4x12, and a 6U rack case containing Marshall pre- and power-amps and a whole bunch of flashing lights. He'd basically spent the GDP of a small country to get absolutely the worst guitar sound I have [i]ever[/i] heard. I mean, hilariously dreadful.

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1476246609' post='3152625'] I'm currently in the USA and I heard one American couple (clearly affluent) explaining to their children that England was cold, dark, wet and depressing. The more I thought about it, the more I agreed ��. [b]They said it was super expensive[/b], and it is. [/quote] Well they're totally wrong on that count. For them, it's the cheapest it has been since 1985. $1.22 to the £? How much cheaper do they want?

    Ladies and gents, we've done the Brexit thing. It had its own thread, which is now closed. Please steer entirely clear of politics in general and Brexit in particular. Ta.
