the in-laws have a caravan in pagham, when we trip into bognor i always seek him out. brilliant playing

Thanks! Sad that the feeble current Ali-led UB40 does so few of the political songs. The first two albums (ie pre covers) had a real bite to them you just don’t hear these days. Seeing them with the Pretenders made a big impact on the young would-be bassist me.

So, the SR body has been with the luthier for a few weeks and he has been some doing some final sanding and experimenting with stains to take away the stark white of the ash. He has used a very pale brown wash to darken the wood a little and it really helps to make the grain pop! Really pleased with the results and he will shortly be starting on the sealer coat and layering on the clear coat. Pictures show the wash on the body and one half with spirits to show the clear coat should look. I can't wait to see it when it's all buffed and ready to reassemble!

That said, maybe one song I don't know in the list is from that band...

Great set lists @police squad and @hiram.k.hackenbacker. At least you avoided the most horrific band of the 80's, even if they started in the late 70's : The Cure (that said their two first albums were quite good, their 80's shīt is simply awful, but it's what entitled them to ... money).

Listening now, early UB40 were superb, just as good as anything coming out of Jamaica. To me it's authentic because they authentically meant it; their feeling for that music is sincere. That's why they played it so well. The drummer and bass player are so good. I really don't think Sly and Robbie could have done a better job on those first few albums.

Is there any reason they wouldn't work. Too quick to react perhaps?

Thanks for posting those two set lists. As I suspected they are quite heavily skewed towards the first half of the decade. @hiram.k.hackenbacker I hope you do "I Think We're Alone Now" in the High NRG style of Tiffany's version otherwise it's technically a 60s cover and "Video Killed The Radio Star" was originally released in 1979 [/pedant] ;-)

Just bought a pedal from Lozz, as new and fast delivery, highly recommended! Thanks mate.

Another fabulous BassChat deal with the mega-efficient Mark. Packaging was very robust, it arrived overnight. Comms were quick and easy. All continuing to prove BassChat is the best place to buy and sell. Thank you Mark.

It’ll get you in the end…! I succumbed to this one I saw in Wunjos back in January (after realising that the lead time on a near identical custom order - blue burst like your configuration - would be about 18-24 months). Don’t regret it for a moment. Love this bass.
