Still a Nexus N410 available at £450. Toyed with the idea of getting another but am reigning in cab silliness and saving up for a certain combo and keyboard dabbling. N410 is a formidable Cab find it bemusing the entire Nexus range seems to have passed by unnoticed. @la bam pointed me towards them and have accumulated some Nexus Stuff.

Busy couple of days with a rehearsal with my teacher's youth orchestra yesterday where I am one of a few adults who fill out the cello and bass sections, not enough big kids to play full size cello and bass. Lots of fun playing everything from Pachelbel's canon to a medley of fiddle tunes and we are getting ready for a May concert. I left that one a bit early to rush across town to a rehearsal for the swing band I am in, we have a show in early May. Five of the seven members have music degrees of one sort or another so it is a challenging group to play with, we have been together for 6 or 7 years and have played gigs in a lot of different venues. This afternoon I had a three hour rehearsal with a bluegrass band that will be playing at three festivals this summer, it is our first get together since autumn, the band leader spends the winter in Forida. Lots of fun and we managed to remember most of the music and our vocal harmony was pretty good considering the long break. The banjo player is a joy to play with, he is a sensitive musician and doesn't overdo things, quite rare for a bluegrass banjoist! Lots of variety, I played my Shen ply bass arco for the youth orchestra, same bass through an amp for the swing band and an old beater ply Czech bass acoustically with the bluegrass band. For the rest of the week I will be practicing for these bands at home and prepping for my lesson on Friday, happy to be busy.😊

Well, these were in my Bedroom, and trace sounded nice via a Quilter Interbass

Recent g&l l2000 (Tribute) Sire M2 5str. My first nice 5er bought on here Chowny Retrovibe. also ex BC Massive G&L Fallout Tribute. If standing to play Retrovibe and M2 are agreeably light.

I made one for under £20 - it depends how you feel about soldering and drilling boxes.

Al Capone - Prince Buster

Likewise , my guilty dislike is the way Tina Turner seemed to often "squeeze" out her vocals. A great performer and all. A long car journey with a diet solely of Eurythmics cassettes was a sort of aversion untherapy experience

Just FANTASTIC.!!

Jesus Just Left Chicago - ZZ Top

Jesus built my Hot-Rod - Ministry

Don't Need Religion - Motörhead

Freebird.......

An awful person, plenty of other dreadful composers musicians producers and plain hangers on both alive and dead. Give it another few years there'll be some spiv exploiting yet another sordid saga. Sounds like a pretty prurient concept, presumably exploiting some down on their luck victims. Wouldn't have watched though I enjoyed the Glitter Band hits 'back in the day'.

I don't need. Ike and Tina.

Better late than never.

Had this since my late teens.

No never, I spent too much time listening to George Benson and Steely Dan. But The Allman Brothers blew me away once also.

You've never heard Freebird before? I first heard it maybe 45 years ago? It still amazes and moves me. You have just had an amazing epihany, I envy you.
