It's a great live performance

Excellent live performance.

Dakota Red – clear building up nicely 🔥 Colour’s locked in and now it’s all about the clear. Got the first sessions of nitro clear on and it’s starting to build properly. You can see the depth coming through already — that wet look beginning to form before it’s even been near paper or a mop. A couple more coats of clear to really bury everything and give me some material to level back, then it’ll be hung up to cure while I try very hard not to keep wandering into the workshop “just to look at it”. So far it’s laying down well — no drama, no major sags, just that lovely glossy build that makes you believe you know what you’re doing. Flat, polish, then the real shine. MGCS – Made to Play, Built to Last.

That’s what I meant…went too far down the road, no wonder I couldn’t find him 🤣

EHX has just updated the new ‘lost muff’ circuit JHS uncovered into their BassBig Muff range. https://www.ehx.com/products/bass-big-muff-pi-2/ Some decent muff tones!

You’re not the only one….🤣

He is based in Radcliffe now. Very close to me and has done some great set ups on my Ric and Jazz

To be fair, it’s deviance by proxy as it wasn’t his.

That one’s particularly gorgeous

Dave Weckl version of Living Just Enough for the City with John King on bass. AMAZING groove and quite easy once you lock in to John’s incredible syncopated feel, I stuck a few of his chops into my looper and played them about eleventy billion times until I could do it on my own, takes me so long these days 🫣☹️

The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades - Timbuk 3

I'm still in. However, it's very, very difficult. I'm currently borrowing a Rob Allen Deep 5 for a gig next month aaaaand I have MASSIVE GAS for one. Lucky me: they are very expensive.

Come Clean - Hilary Duff

I've got a lot of time for Yamaha and I've honestly never played a dodgy instrument made by them. I see them as dignified and no-nonsense, seemingly prioritising quality control over other 'sexier' temptations, which I find admirable and classy. I think they prudently recognise that they do their thing extremely well; they've no need to follow in the footsteps of Fender et al, releasing an endless stream of updates, reissues and limited edition finishes. There seems to me a cynicism in that which I dislike, but perhaps that's unfair; it's a model that clearly works for a lot of players! I don't play long scale 4s these days and can't imagine going back now but 5s are a different story... I'd dearly love to own a BB5000a one day!

Scrub Scrub - Olivia Coleman And "Wonka" Cast

I've always been a bit of a softie, really

I don't know about that, I just try to call it how I see it. See how efficiently I dealt with Mr. Toltec pickups? Yup, guilty. Next!

Yes it can make it expand temporarily... but I just needed to free it up.

Never thought I'd see 2 of my favourite bands, Level 42 and New Model Army on the same list for anything 😄

I would say that desire is not action - that is to say, the fact that were considering it, does not mean that you would have done so had Mrs Machines not offered. You could have left the shop without the bass. However, only you know whether you planned to buy the bass had she not offered. So, technically, this is an unsolicited gift, and it feels like you should remain in the game. He's gone soft in the head! Parsnip Head by name, @neepheid by nature!
