A true original.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

What's original about that? I'll take Barry McGuire any day.

Handsome Dick's non-voice and delivery is original. And he - like The Dictators as a whole - epitomizes NYC Boroughs culture to me. It's the (non-)singer, not the song.

Barry McGuire's original rendition was of course great, no argument. It had a compelling urgency to it and it expressed the (angsty) times as iconic songs often do. I haven't heard it bettered by anyone, not by the Pretty Things ...



And not even by P.F. Sloan who originally wrote it (I knew it wasn't a McGuire composition, but was unaware that Sloan was the writer).

Priceless. And they all look like they took part in that riot too.

I finally figured out Wilko's technique but still can't do it myself.

Practice, practice, practice! They've just released a new album and might be hiring.



I've actually ordered it. Of course, the current line-up doesn't have a single original member left (and hasn't for decades), but I think they reflect the vibe and the new release saw excellent reviews.

Serek basses introduced the L3. A take on the G3 with Curtis Novak reproduction of the Bill Lawrence designed pickups for the humbucker-and-a-half G3.

I've used those HH IC100 guitar amps in a few rehearsal spaces. They are either totally clean or heavily saturated, like Marc Bolan's tone. Wilco's edge-of-breakup tone must be pure speaker distortion from running the amp on full.

Sounds (and looks) like a G-3 alright.

Maybe now is the time to bring this bass to life?

I’m not reading any of your April 1 posts anymore, you work with AI, Holländer!  :-*

The rule with Rob is: Anything he skillfully posts with pictures … DOESN'T EXIST!  :mrgreen: A master of immaculate deception.

Ah, you caught me.
The Thundervee doesn’t exist either.
I’m sorry.
There’s no refund btw

LOL, I was just gonna say in my next post: Who knows if that Robber Broek Lying Vee or whatever it is called actually ever existed?  :vader: :vader: :vader:

The G4 isn't the only new product. This is being offered on Reverb.
