  1. 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'.
  2. [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1476715413' post='3156566'] Sell it. Someone out there will love it & you can get something you'd be happier with. [/quote] 100%.
  3. 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.
  4. [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 😄😄
  5. [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.
  6. My Wal and my Shuker. Neither of them are going anywhere.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. If anyone has a problem with my recent posts and actions, take it up with an admin. Thanks.
  10. 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.
  11. Mine certainly isn't going anywhere.
  12. [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. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/293194-sorry-how-much-for-a-sadowsky-metro/page__view__findpost__p__3151648"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__3151648[/url]
  13. [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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.)
  17. 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.
  18. [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?
  19. 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.
  20. I like Coldplay. Takes all sorts, dunnit?

    Listened to the whole of 'Milliontown' for the first time earlier. OH. MY. GOD. How is it that I have never heard this masterpiece album before? Now hooked.
  22. My mum used to tell me that if I had nothing nice to say about somebody/something, then I shouldn't say anything. So, I'm not going to say anything.
  23. [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1475220006' post='3144047'] Here's a question for you Blue - The Beatles in Mono or Stereo? [/quote] Milwaukee didn't get stereo until 1974. The residents objected.
  24. [quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1474666199' post='3139809'] My favourite Beatles album is Revolver. [/quote] That is my 24-year-old son's favourite too.
  25. Enjoying the long, hot summer ('76), spending every waking moment on my pushbike arsing about with my mates (apart from skool daze, of course), scrumping and playing knock-down ginger and all the other stuff you do when you're 11. I didn't really have any remote interest in music until 1978/79, when 2-Tone changed my life.
