  1. A spot of nostalgia…
  2. I bet you’ve never seen these two together in the same room. Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Repeats Rob Halford out of Judas Priest
  3. This. 33 years later, it still dumbfounds me with its beauty.
  4. Freedom Jizz Dance - Miles Davis
  5. The Soul Destroyers rehearse on the Wednesday before a gig, a quick zip through the set or parts thereof to blow out the cobwebs -- if we’ve got a dep, we’ll do the whole set. We also get together on the 3rd Weds of the month if there are new or resurrected songs to work on. The ska band gigs often enough that we don’t need to get together to rehearse unless we’ve got something new to work on, or something is being dug up from the ‘resting’ song pile. Although if we’re gigging for the first time in a while, we have a quick rehearsal on the Tuesday before the gig, much like with the Destroyers.
  6. Discs (Ask me next week, it'll be a different list. Although nos.1 and 5 are permanent fixtures in My Top Ten.) Shipbuilding, Robert Wyatt Mood Swings, Mike Stern. One of Jaco’s last recordings, playing along with it would be a challenge that would keep me occupied for quite a while. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, Dream Theater. 42 minutes of proggy excess. The Essential, from Mark King’s solo album Influences. Nimrod, from Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Jupiter, from Holst’s Planets Suite. Awaken, Yes – the live House Of Yes version. 43, Level 42 – ideally a live bootleg with the big percussion break. Choosing just one to flee with would be incredibly difficult. I’d have to make a tough last-minute choice, probably between nos.3 & 4. Book A Painted House, John Grisham. His best book by a country mile, and not a lawyer in sight. I’d absolutely love the Shakespeare, but you can keep the bible. Can I have a philosophical tome instead? Luxury I suppose a bass is a bit obvious my Tanglewood ABG would be perfect, and if I can have a few spare sets of Elixirs too that’d be great.
  7. If the choice is limited to those, then the pink edges it.
  8. If I'm going to be picky, I'd say those aren't the neck inlays I'd have chosen. But hey, that's a bit like complaining that the road in the background of the Mona Lisa is a bit too bendy. It's a beautiful thing of, well, beauty.
  9. This. I've got 1.2 horsepower thundering behind me on stage, yet my back still loves me.
  10. Very much in agreement with the idea of amps having 9v/12v/18v dc supply outs on them. Would be massively useful.
  11. Ah, but would the Gibson balloon be any better than the Epiphone balloon?
  12. All You Need Is Cash - The Rutles
  13. 538
  14. 8 working electric basses, plus 2 non-working ones 1 acoustic bass guitar 1 acoustic guitar (everyone should have a pawn-shop acoustic) 3 amps 2 cabs, plus two wedges 1 combo amp
  15. So does this mean that the 'fat' bit is the problem? Really?
  16. Would it be ok if they were thin blokes doing covers?
  17. NSD... shiny new Elixir nickels on the ska bass :sun_bespectacled:

  18. Rich

    DIY Effects

    Keeper
  19. Rat Race - Specials
  20. Perhaps I should retire then, if that's such a bad thing.
  21. And that was after you'd taken them off...
  22. I'm at work at the moment, but when I get home I'll do the job with my Thunder 1A. I think all the TRCs are the same, apart from wording..?
  23. I'd love an EUB. It'd be a bit of a waste of money though as none of my current gigs are even remotely suitable, and it'd be a lot of cash to splash on just a toy. I play mostly 5s and have done since 1997, so I'd go straight for a 5.
