All Activity

I was patient and stoic for a while, but since the NAMM builds started coming out, I've been getting pretty antsy 🫠

First rehearsal with my new covers band last night and it went great and after waiting so long for a covers band looking for a bassist to become available it seems like they really are like buses as I’ve got another rehearsal tomorrow with my other covers band.

Not me, I live in hope some American does fall for it 😀 Good news is the moment is getting closer. Just an hour back I was reading a "Please tell me more" post about an extremely rare 2004 European Peavey Cirrus. Odd thing was Peavey never made any Cirrus basses in Europe until 2024, no overseas models until 2007. Kisser was photo posted with the 2004 s/n, it had the words "Made in Vietnam" alongside it 🤣🤣🤣

Just received a Bass Pod XT Live from Bob. Very pleasant chap to deal with and a very easy transaction. Posted out very quickly and arrived well packaged. 10/10 Thanks Bob! 👍

I couldn’t resist purchasing a rather lovely amp from Martin. Perfectly packaged, very promptly shipped, superb communication throughout, and the amp is exactly as described. Trade with absolute confidence. Many thanks again.

Love Sheryl Crow. In the 90's I stopped playing and for the most part listening to music. I only bought half a dozen CD's. Sheryl Crow and Oasis. Check her out on Tiny Desk.

E8 or 5274Hz Use ear protection folks, tinnitus is crap 🙁

The guy who did the solderings... I wouldn't call him Ironman.

Anderton's are normally my first port of call (after Amazon), but I had a hiccup with my GP-50 that I got from them them 17th Dec. I contacted them on the 16th Jan. They said 'We can arrange an exchange with you, provided you can return the item in the condition it was received, with all original content & packaging'. so after 4 weeks of use they expect it to be as brand new, otherwise they dont want to know? I now think twice about using them. As it happens I managed to kick start the box and its been fine ever since

Lovely! When I saw Alan’s Instagram post I thought this might be yours

If you are prepared to carry the 2nd cab the lunch is very tasty though.

Just looking through Geddy’s book and he does have some late 60s and 1970s basses in custom colours but none burgundy mist. Some had matching h/s and some didn’t so I guess it was buyers choice at that point.

Straight to the legendary quotes thread!

Mostly it's to make sales to uninformed bassists that want to "get all the watts out of the amp".

I've been jamming with the guitar player from our last band and we're getting to the point where just guitar and bass with some not-very-good vocals just won't cut it any more. I wish we could find a drummer because we're having lots of fun and playing some good songs.

I was a prop forward. I wasn’t that skinny in the womb!
