Too right, from hereon in it should be known as 'Dale's Law'.

I thought that was a spinoff series from "Heartbeat". -

Oh god. I think mentioning Simon Cowell in a thread is now of the same rank as mentioning Hitler.

Ever seen them both in the same room? -
The question of artistic integrity arises every time you have to choose between doing what will, in your view, result in the best outcome musically, and doing what will be most popular or lucrative. If you never experience this conflict, you are probably Simon Cowell.

I remember that! It was in the snap, crackle and pop charts.

On the radio I recently heard the soundtrack to an advert for Rice Krispies which was specially written and recorded by the Rolling Stones in the early sixties.

Peavey Milestone III - £50 from Cash Converters in Lewisham. My only bass (I did have 2 of them, but recently gave one away) - lightweight, well-balanced, beautiful fast neck, jazz-bass tones. I just don't look at other basses any more.

Sounds like a pretty childish idea to me, and guaranteed to offend & upset people if you're playing a street party to celebrate the Queens jubilee that will have people from all generations attending.

Quite so - young people aren't going to want to listen to that old-time rubbish -
PM'd re the JV-1010.

Can't wait for that! This has got me trying to think of songs about hideous industrial accidents.
The only one I can come up with is 'Big Bad John' ...I suppose there are several others about mining disasters as well.
But they might all be a bit too PC for this thread.

There's [i]Wreck of the Old 97[/i] (about a train crash) as performed by Johnny Cash on Live At St. Quentin (1969). -

I didn't know Sooty had a guitarist. I thought Sooty played clarinet, Sweep played drums and Sue played piano. Maybe you saw them with a different line up. Was that their Flamenco period?

Surely Sooty is most famous for playing the xylophone? -
Sabbath was my first musical love (aged about 10 or 11 I suppose), swiftly followed by Deep Purple and Hawkwind, and Led Zep a year or two later. I still listen to all of them, but I don't think anyone should feel bad about not liking them. Be proud to be different! I have absolutely no interest in Motown, or any other soul for that matter, which puts me in a minority on here - but who cares, really? There's so much music out there - go find some stuff that speaks to [b]you[/b][b].[/b]

You could also have a look at [url="http://www.accordionforum.co.uk"]this[/url] forum - it's still quite new, but there are some very knowledgeable people on there.

However I have something which IMO is far important in my sig - a link to my music.

Maybe check [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/170594-puke-on-instruments-looooooovely/"]this[/url] thread?
Sorry, someone less fatuous will be along shortly to give you a sensible answer. -
This probably won't be to everyone's taste, and there's no bass content, but I'm finding this quite mesmerising.

Soprano is definitely my favourite of the sax family. I really like some of Lol Coxhill's playing - eg the [i]Fleas in Custard[/i] album (though some of it too "squeaky bonk" out* for me).
*[i]squeaky bonk out[/i]: [i]I picked up this phrase from [url="http://www.janettemason.com/"]Janette Mason[/url], with whom I once studied jazz piano. In the spectrum of "out-ness" that jazz encompasses, "squeaky bonk" out is at the extreme end. [/i] -

Sure.... that'll get the fire started...

Is it just because it doesn't look right, or are they really no good? I just thought it got closer to a db sound than an eb can, but eb skills would be much more easily transferrable. -
What about using a Kala U-bass?

Be good to hear more. Nice work.

[b]Roland Sonic Cell MIDI Module / Computer Interface / SMF player[/b]
[b]Now sold [/b]
Top class MIDI module, with room to install two SRX expansion cards if desired.
[i]SonicCell is powered by a Fantom X class synth engine with 128 voice polyphony. In addition to its high quality built-in sounds, extra emphasis has been placed on frequently used acoustic sounds for a new level of authenticity and expressiveness.[/i]
Also functions as a computer interface with 2 audio ins & outs and 1 MIDI in and out. Furthermore, it will play SMF, WAV or MP3 files, so it's also useful for a solo performer using backing tracks.
Excellent condition - I’ve owned this from new, and it has had only home studio use – never been gigged.
Comes complete with PSU, user manual and quick start guide, software, allen key (to access the SRX card expansion bay), and original box.
