    The tip I heard from a luthier was to put some silk between the foam and neck.

    Hmm, looks like they give themselves a 'get out of jail' card on that: http://herculesstands.com/international/faq/#:~:text=HERCULES takes great pride in,on the market%2C including Nitrocellulose.

    Yes, heard her new Punk incarnation on 6 Music a couple of weeks back. Not a fan, but fair play to her, especially after what she has been through.

    Ooh, love that EB0 MK1 Slab. Don't love the price though.
  5. Mykesbass
    Some very lovely, skillful arrangements going on there.
  6. Mykesbass
    That's great. Thanks for posting it, off to check more of her work.

    IoW £19 booking fee - outrageous.

    Not misheard but misunderstood - I thought Spandau Ballet were name checking Hank, not Gaye in True. Still think musically the track was closer to the Shadows than Motown.
  9. Mykesbass
    That's a good call. Almost like their second incarnation, when they became rock band than electronic.

    First dates is now beyond memory, but I do quite often get chatting about music. A young woman colleague a few years back was a big music fan and we had some great music chats (she was a big Skindred fan).

    Sade (and yes, they were a band). Huge in the states for years after their success in the UK.
  12. Mykesbass
    I used to live in Penge 😆
  13. Mykesbass
    Been heavily advertised on my FB feed (local gig coming up). Must check this out.

    Nothing to do with Mick Mason is it? He 'promotes' tribute shows in Leicester and has a very poor reputation.
  15. Mykesbass
    I used to want to be more selective with a previous band, but yes, annoyingly, putting up all the old tut seems to work.

    Are you on Facebook? Get in touch with Martin Webb (Webby to everyone). Runs the Ipswich jam night, drum teacher and drum shop owner. He knows most drummers in the county (and Norfolk if you don't mind a foreigner)!

    He invited me to his office to 'learn about the business' when I was a 16 year old working in a record shop. Fortunately my boss at the time heard this and next day told me to steer well clear of him. I always expected something to hit the press after he died, especially as he was mates with Max Clifford.

    The red gold and green is symbolic of Jamaica rather than Rastafarianism. CA is such a can of worms, but I think you would be safe with this.
  19. Mykesbass
    And dropouts and stretching.
  20. Mykesbass
    Blimey, yes. Remember selling a slightly longer cassette back then but couldn't remember the brand.

    'Now! That's what I call 1985'
  22. Mykesbass
    By pure luck, my, still to this day, all time most listened to album was released in 1985. The hugely underrated Working Week, 'Working Nights'.
  23. Mykesbass
    Amen to that. The version on The Last Waltz is magnificent. Love the way Levon pushes it so hard on drums without ever overcooking it.
  24. Mykesbass
    I love both versions - even the full Donna Summer Suite. So OTT and camp it is glorious!
  25. Mykesbass
    My London Borough did noticeably worse - Tommy Steele, Max Bygraves, Souixse Sioux, Florence Welch and Charlie Chaplin (who wrote Nat King Cole's hit Smile). We also had the Richardsons and Mad Frankie Fraser.
