Tomatoes, milk, bread, washing powder, bananas, cereal, margarine etc.

I was also at the Astoria gig (1st night).

Lucky you!

Me too! It was 1992.

Is it ok to simply remove the horn/tweeter from a 210 cabinet by de-soldering the wires, or will it affect anything?

Who did I mock? I write and play originals too.

First thing in the morning before anyone else is up works best for me. When mine were very young and woke up early, I just put them in their chair and they watched me practise. An occasional dip of the headstock towards them seemed to keep them entertained (if not my playing!).

The day we add an original to our set is when I'll quit. But it'll never happen.

Are some genres of music more likely than others to motivate a fan to become a musician? Growing up with rock and metal it always seemed to me that there was something about the genre which made fans inclined to want to play it, rather than just listen. It could have been a visual thing, testosterone related (Still a male dominated genre and mid-teens is a common age to start playing) or maybe it's just my perception because it's what happened to me. Were 80s synth pop fans all rushing out to buy keyboards and start bands? Is there something about particular genres which inspires fans to want to play?

I understand your point, but maintain that nothing is inherently offensive. What if you "choose to offend" someone, but they're not offended? What would you say then? What if they're not offended by that? Nothing is inherently offensive. Of course we should all be nice to each other, that goes without saying.

Nothing is offensive. People can choose to be offended, or perhaps feel offended without giving it any thought, but nothing is inherently offensive, there is no such thing.

He was playing a five string (possibly Ibanez or something similar) with Tull in the 90s.

The first few seconds of this. Mark Evans playing exactly what is needed. Classic.

Given the myriad of incorrect and poorly played versions on Youtube, there are clearly many who do find it both technical and difficult!

Oasisn't is quite good, as is Status Quote. How about a PC Brotherhood of Man tribute called Siblinghood of Person?

There are a lot of Fender signature basses which are essentially stock Fender models.

Exactly what I have wondered many times!

Supposing a player became successful, famous and influential and their bass of choice happened to be the signature model of another artist. Would the instrument manufacturer then release a signature model of the signature model?

Exactly, perhaps qualities not frequently associated with America.

Well it can't actually be defined as British either, but as my "tags" read: Random nonsense.

A bit like an old Landrover, an outside toilet or a Yorkshire pudding.

The workmanlike, no nonsense, get the job done qualities I think.

A bit of a random thought, but for some reason I feel there's something very British about a P Bass.

Are all the band actively practising musicians, who work on their playing? That makes a big difference for me.
