Nice to see a Duesenberg Star bass getting a rare outing too.

OK You've had more than a day - what news?

Bassist 38 Southend-on-sea Pro-gear Looking to either jam or join a covers band. Willing to play anything apart from Jazz and slap Been looking for a while with very little success

80 years old, recovering from the flu, stupidly hot weather and allegedly spent £300,000 of his own money to bring the full band over from Vegas for this one gig. He's earned his time for me so I'll cut him a bit of slack...

Personally don’t find the Digbeth “weak” or “bland” at all - for me it added just a nice subtle “something”. I was getting tired of the BDDI and Darkglass models on the HX Effects and this is nice flavour of different which works really well for my Americana gig and my pop/punk gig. I guess a lot depends on what bass/amp/cab combo you have, what you’re playing and what you’re trying to achieve. For me, the Digbeth seems to be a good preamp with a voicing which works but I guess if we all liked the same thing the world would be hugely dull

The moulded jack socket on my KNA DB-1 pickup has started playing up, I think one of the contacts has lost it's springiness, the plug sits loosely in it and crackles intermittently. I like the pickup otherwise, so I'm happy enough to fit a new socket on there and stick with it. But I'm wondering what the best available line jack socket is. Some of the US made pickups come with Switchcraft jacks which I can't find over here, the locking Neutrik jacks are huge and won't fit in my jack clamp, otherwise there's the Rean model or acoustic guitar type endpin jacks with the strap pin washer removed. Which to choose?

Let Me Hear You Scream - Ozzy

Nice to see her doing well at a festival for a change, after what happened to her duo.

I'm sure it will match the description, just worrying that a business of the stature of Fender can't get the right pictures on an Amazon listing...

Shout - Lulu

Checks date... nearer 50! We're getting old...

End of Noah Kahan’s set is glorious 👍

But the Fender reference number links to the correct neck, see above.

Rod betrayed his then extraordinary voice 40-years ago

Tim Minchin, Birmingham Symphony Hall, July 9th. Should be good fun. Spare ticket going if anyone's interested- see the Recycling forum.

Switched telly on to.. Celeste? Beyond less than impressed, seemed terribly self indulgent. 20 minutes later Im hooked...Shes definitely an interesting individual.

Anyone with half a brain shojld be able to see the L and N pins won't go fully home until the pencil is removed. No pearl clutching required.

It's a bit worrying that two of the three photos show a six-string Telecaster neck...
