I keep thinking a Ritter would be a good fit.

Note that Bootsy only used stars to the 12th fret. Beyond the 12th fret is only dots. Dots don't pay like stars to.

There is no money above the fifth fret, and no stars beyond the twelfth.

... no money above the fifth fret... no stars beyond the twelfth.

That leaves me...

... stuck in the middle with you.

Like most of you, I'll be sitting in front of my TV on Saturday, lapping up every detail of the royal wedding, and dutifully playing along on my practice rig.

Question is: P or J? Which bass is more suitable for the occasion?

Please, no anti-royalist rants. Just some help in selecting the right tool for the job.

You'll definitely want a Crown amp, and probably a Scepter bass.

Definitely the Crown amp, but instead of a Sceptor, how about a Mark King bass, with a crown headstock?

Incidentally, this is what I will be wearing for the occasion.
Since I'm not leaving the house, I'll save a few quid by foregoing the trouser rental.

I'd look so bad in that.

I'd look so bad in that.

There's beer goggles for that.

There's beer goggles for that.

The two paper bag method could also be employed.

And I'm not even Markle Merkel. It's a royal shame.

Please, God, just let it be over. Even the BBC 24-hour news service seems to have morphed into the BBC 24-hour wedding service from today.

Us colonial types seem to be enjoying it a bit. It's a nice change from some of the other potential news cycles that compete with it.

They found him in 6 or 7 pieces the next morning with an inexplicable smile frozen on his partially shattered face.....The bride, no where to be found....

Is this a before or after picture?

Vampires?

Vlad the Impaler: How is Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth related to him?

The heir to the British throne said genealogy shows that he is related to Vlad, giving him a stake in the future of Romania. The prince has long worked to conserve the forests and has bought a home in the Transylvania region.

The link, it appears, is his great-grandmother, Mary of Teck, who was grandmother to Britain's current ruler, Queen Elizabeth II, and was queen during the reign of King George V. A Wurttemberg princess, Mary - the woman for whom the liner Queen Mary was named - was believed descended from two of Vlad's sons.

Vlad the Impaler, the cruel 15th-century Romanian warlord who helped inspire Bram Stoker's 1897 vampire novel "Dracula," got his nickname from his favorite method of execution. His reputation for sadism and torture made him a legend in his own time. His victims have been estimated in the tens of thousands.
