    Unexpected famous band t-shirt in a movie

    Lady Gaga has a YES t-shirt on in “A Star is Born.” 32:20 minutes in. Looks like a Tormato album tour shirt to me. But it must be brand new. I doubt she even knows who YES is. It was probably the movie director Bradley Cooper's idea. Anybody else seen a famous band t-shirt in a movie?

    What is your preferred TC Electronic tone print?

    I'm impressed with my new TC Electronic BG250 112 combo amp. I'm just starting to monkey around with the free tone prints that are available. I'm not a big fan of effect pedals, but I've found a couple of effects that are pretty cool. Tone Print A: Vibrato - His Royal Phatness Tone Print B...

    weight for it... weight for it...

    I got my new FBass today and it weighs less than most FBasses. I like that. For some, weight is an issue. Some boutique bass guys DEMAND a lower weight. But still there are a lot of expensive basses over 10 lbs. Is there a weight to price issue here? If you pay more, should the bass weigh...

    Chris Squire and YES nominated for the 2014 R&R Hall of Fame

    Finally! I think this is long overdue and can't imagine them not being inducted. But I'm a long-time fan so maybe I'm a little biased. I can see the stage now, crowded with present and past members of the band. I definitely want to see this show when it is broadcast. Also glad to see Deep...

    studio vs. live sound

    I am listening to "I'm So Tired" on the Beatles White Album. And noticed Paul's J Bass tone. Very, VERY mid-range-scooped tone. Almost only a thump sound is audible. Just throwing out this idea out that our "studio" tone (the settings on our amp) is so very different from our "live" (the...

    Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)

    He's played with other bands, but I'm referring to Emerson Lake & Palmer's album "Trilogy". And specifically to the song "The Endless Enigma". Greg's bass sounds unlike any I've ever heard.
