    Aye, that was my thoughts too. Couple of year back some 'singer' from the early 90's got in touch, said he'd found a tape and if convert to MP3 would I like a copy. Out of politeness I said OK. Wished I hadn't , awful fails to describe how bad it was🤣 Crazy thing, by the early 90's I'd a serious alcohol problem. OK my playing on the tape wasn't great, pretty shite, but compared to the hash head guitars and drums it was acceptable 😀

    Yup - my generation got it free and pulled up the drawbridge after them. Utterly disgraceful!

    Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.

    Me, I just never liked it. I used to play in a band where the other guys smoked weed; I remember one of them saying "This sounds great!" but it sounded an absolute mess to me. On my daily walk I chat with some folks who do smoke the stuff; I'm cool with them doing what they want to, but I've no interest in participating. OTOH, a lot of my favourite music appear to have been written & perfomed under the influence if various substances, so maybe it does enhance the "creative" gene. It's not for me though. My vice is coffee and, at this time of the year, mince pies. I'm also going to pop an ibuprofen for some aches and pains. Rock-and-roll man!

    You could get a ‘player’ Mustang and replace the P pickup with a J (in either the front or back split coil position) with minimal routing and a new pickguard. I’m not sure what the spacing would be, or indeed what the spacing is on the Japanese one. To me, that’s really key to a good J sound. Both the above options aren’t that much cheaper than importing one of these Maika basses tbh but you could use whatever pickups you like…

    Aren't all uni students paying for it?

    Over the years been around an awful lot of drugs but never felt the pull of taking anything, so didn't. Never really felt that whatever these people were taking particularly enhanced playing or performance. Considering my exposure, I'm pretty proud of that, too. My parents instilled the "drugs = bad" thing from an early age and I've stuck with that. I've never smoked or even tried smoking. Interestingly, over the last 15 years or so, the musicians in my circle are incredibly clean. No drugs, no smoking, the odd beer. I only know of one guy that enjoys weird beers. That's it.

    Tom? As in tom and Jerry then you can yell “Thomas!” At him when he is naughty

    I went to a jam session once where three of the guitarists and a drummer were on cocaine. The noodling was never ending. Solos that went nowhere and drum beats that made no sense in the context of what everyone was playing. It was like YouTube playing taken to the extreme.

    Sounds like he already has a name - Studio, Studio Assistant.

    We had a cat called Artie Fufkin named after the enthusiastic but ultimately useless record company guy from Spinal Tapp. It really suited him. Current felines were given country music themed names Dolly and Tammy.

    Found some old cassettes from late 90’s “hazy” jam sessions - we thought it was the peak of finding the new sounds (Maaaahn!) In reality it was a sloppy noodle fest…awful unlistenable turd. 🫣

    Thanks guys, I've never changed the valves, from what I understand the preamp in this range was not designed to break up into saturation or to be overdriven, so I'd never seen much point to changing them especially as I like it how it sounds as if is. But I'd been talking to a mate about it who also suggested the valves being the potential problem, and with these suggestions it sounds like a good place to start. Do you guys have any recommendations for the brands to go for as I don't really know much about them having not owned a valve amp since the 80's.

    Our first cat was tortoiseshell, so was named Pickle as she looked like a jar of Branston. The next was Jet as she was black. This one was named Pandora by the rescue home, shortened to Panda by us. Trevor (as in Horn) sounds like the perfect name for your cat already. Thinks he owns the place and is in charge, everyone eles will think he's wonderful, but you pay the bills!
