Hole in my soul - Aerosmith

Well, I think it's a great colour - particularly with the matching headstock - and I look forward to being able to snap one up for a song later on in the year 😛 It looks better in the video than it does in the Andertons product photos. I think it could look rather saucy with the pickguard and hardware changed to black.

Hole In My Shoe - Traffic

Old Brown Shoe - Beatles

Same here, with a promise to help if there is any shortfall.

One Brown Mouse - Jethro Tull

I remember in my teens going down the local on a Wednesday night (band night), the place was always heaving. I'd always nose for the bass gear (as we all do) and if i were lucky, a monster like this would be sqeezed into the corner dominating the small area the landlord used to put the bands. Guitarists egos would melt with their silly little Hughes & Ketner combos or Marshall 4x10's. Drummers pah. They'd better not make it angry. Effortlessly filling the room with quality tone. Almost like it was filling every availble part of the put without killing the band sound as a whole. No farting, no humming. Just casually blowing your trousers off if you were close enough. It's a sight to behold and nothing to shy away from. It mentions the bass player was serious mustard. Im glad to see this being gigged. 🙂

Just seen the Andertons exclusive player II series jazz bass, jazzmaster, strat, & tele in lavender haze. This colour in nitro on a JMJ with no relicing shenanigans would look good. or perhaps a metallic version of lavender haze Wow! If I dismantle one of my daphne blue JMJs, where can I send the body to get this finish done in nitro, and what would the cost be? edit: matching headstock!

I used to dep on bass with a blues band where the keys player thought his electric piano sounded too middly, so he ran it through a graphic EQ pedal with the most pronounced V setting possible. As a result, his left hand was considerably louder than my bass and clashed with everything I played. Eventually his expensive rack power amp went into thermal runaway and cooked itself to death.

I’ll be going on the Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed last year. 🙏

You got the Jools gig?

They don't have any suitable 6 string bridges (barely any...) and don't seem to sell individual saddles for bass. Let me think about the Wilko bridge, I have no real use for it, so you'll probably get a message later on! It may as well go to use and not get lost in the doom-void that is my parts box.

To be fair I think the pic I lifted from Andertons may not do it justice, it looks a bit more vibrant in some of the video clips on Instagram. But even in the best light you're dead right about it being a poor cousin to Burgundy Mist.

I've told keys players that there is only one bass in this band, and it isn't them. The baffled looks I get after that speech is dispiriting. I'm currently playing with a guy who puts the full Boogie Woogie piano part into every number. Apparently he can't play without having both hands on the go! I gave up and just try to keep out of his way.

You left out the pedals. That makes it eleven, and not in the good way. 😒
