All Activity

I am.

This may sound odd, but I've never been so upset to lose a friend I've never met in person. And she was a friend. Full of fun, mischief but also as @Clarky said, so very positive. Pete and Terri were a fantastic couple. Their online banter between each other, on here, and FB has had me in stitches. And if you were going through a rough patch, even if she wasn't feeling her best, she'd make a point of sending a lovely message. I'll miss her. You're in our thoughts @Tinman. Take care Pete. RIP Terri

Also, the notion that a gear list from March would stay current until October was frankly laughable. In my defence, I was attempting to do gear abstinence, but a white whale appeared which I had been chasing on and off for 12 years put paid to that but I've gone on a bit of a bender since. To balance things out, 2 off that initial list have been sold, got another one up for sale. TL:DR I'll let you know what's coming about a week before the bash - I think I can make it a week without buying or selling a bass...

Current plan is to stay over Sat night, location TBC.

Love With The Madman - Be Bop Deluxe

Yes, she was a lot of fun… RIP @Mrs Tinman

Oh no. I used to be friends on FaceBook with her (I left FB in the pandemic and never went back) and she was always a beacon of positivity and friendiness 😞 Sending belated condolences to her husband, very sad to read this

@spyder: two more to reach 5.

Sorry multiple post. ☹️

thanks everyone, perhaps that's why they've never worked for me. I had too much relief. I shall embrace the clank

Sorry multiple post.

If only it was a 5 string. ☹️

I ordered a mod shop precision bass about a week ago. It's supposed to take about 10 weeks. Anything specific you want to know?

Lovin' You - Minnie Riperton

Going back quite a long way, some of you might remember her... Mrs Tinman lost her fight with cancer at the end of June.

Who's staying which night and where? I'd rather stay the Saturday night but could make either work. I don't think I could do both.

Sold my MS-60B+ to Alex. Fast payment, great comms and was a pleasure to deal with. What's not to like. Thanks again Alex 👍
