    Why celebrate polyglots whilst decrying polymaths?

    Mark Kermode - skiffle double bass player.

    By some extraordinary coincidence, I'm just watching TOTP 1984 and Jim Diamond pops up, who of course was part of the band PhD . Sadly none of the band actually had one.

    Had the pleasure of being on a three band blues tour with Eliana, the guitarist as SKOW. Great singer and guitarist, and lovely person. So pleased she is having success with this, but another example of original music not paying the bills! Mind you, she has an amazing work ethic, with at least two other active bands!

    Interesting you should pick up on this. I have a friend who is a successful, very good (IMO) Prince tribute. Full band, costumes, custom guitar, voice and look all very believable. The above is the only weak link, but I don't think it bothers the vast amount of punters, and he has built up quite a loyal following.

    Doesn't need to know 6/8 as it is in 3/4.

    As soon as they start the chat between songs, why they wrote it, what it means to them - I'm off. Why do they ALL do that?

    +1 for the visible veneer. See-through blond would be my take.

    Ah, an uneducated guess then 🫤
  10. Mykesbass
    Just an educated guess, @taunton-hobbit may know.

    No luck - in fact makes it even odder. I am already marked as following the thread.

    Or a little reminiscent of this:

    I no longer have a star next to a thread I have contributed to, and therefore no longer get notifications. Don't think I manually unsubscribed. How do I re-subscribe please? Thread is Damn Right I've Got the Blues in General Discussion. Thanks, Mike

    Does 'Dead Flowers' by the Stones count?
  15. Mykesbass
    I do hope this is tongue in cheek. Online is terrible for nuance 🤨

    Well that was a nasty shock for a moment (although it might have explained Bowie's rather unpleasant dabblings as the Thin White Duke). Fortunately, a slightly deeper dive into Wikipedia shows that Fairbrass appeared playing bass on the video of Blue Jean, but wasn't on the record. So just an ever so slightly spurious claim on his own page.

    Expensive doesn't necessarily equate to good taste.

    Cm. When it hits the G you can hear it hasn't resolved, whereas when it hits both Cm or Eb in that chord chart it does resolve.
  19. Mykesbass
    I agree - it did seem a bit pointless with the gap between the two.

    Don't know if this video will be of any use, but looks like Sims Custom Shop didn't attempt to cover the entire body of this Strat:

    Nice to see the Chronicle liked it. Story and review came up on my Google news feed this morning. Congratulations.
  22. Mykesbass
    Yes, didn't see it on here, but commented on FB. I'm not in the market but was absolutely bowled over by the looks. I hope someone snatches it up soon for you.
  23. Mykesbass
    I deliberately avoid the BC for sale section 😎
  24. Mykesbass
    One of these came up on Facebook, and I must say it is the first bass I have seen in a long time that made me go WOW! Anyone own/owned one? Do they sound/play anywhere near as amazing as they look?
  25. Mykesbass
    Have a great one!
