    Can someone buy my 61P before the grim reaper gets around to me please! :)

    Just out of curiosity, how much would your other half be willing to let it go for?

    I have the blue Perri's strap on my Pelham blue Jack Casady. 

    The blue against blue, and sheepskin against cream plastics couldn't match better if it had been designed for this bass. Even the tan suede rear is a nod to the browns of the knobs and natural woods.

    I remember when you bought this strap. I liked it so much I got an identical one for my Jack Casady. Even though my bass is black.

    Stevie Wonder is 73 years old and still singing his songs in the original keys.

     

    OK maybe he's unique, but I believe he regularly sees a voice coach.

     

    That might be the answer for these other croaking singers.

    Not to be "that guy", but I doubt Stevie Wonder has ever seen a voice coach.

  4. Two or three years ago I took my (then) 14 year old daughter with me to BD to try out, and eventually buy, a 1974 Jazz. Ended up having a very pleasant chat with Mark, well more of a listen really but it was fine. He complimented my daughter on her playing… but said nothing about mine.

    More recently i've just bought on line from Guitar Guitar or Andertons. I do like Andertons to be honest. I've had good dealings with them and they are usually quick to respond to any questions.

    I got my first bass from Andertons in 1987, from the tiny shop they had before they moved to their current premises. I remember the guy who used to look after bass stuff there at the time was the spitting image of Luke Skywalker. He was a lovely chap. Name was Mark somebody I think.

  6. I was pottering about with my Mutron III the other day and I think it's developed a fault. The range of effect seemed really limited, it's like most of the ducks have escaped so it's no longer very quacky. Ages ago I had this problem with another Mutron, and took it to Martin Owen in Manchester, who worked a minor miracle by repairing the optocoupler.

     

    I had a look for his website the other day and it doesn't seem to be active any more, does anyone know if he's still in business? If not any recommendations for another mild mannered electronics genius who may or may not live with his mum?

  7. Went to PMT Manchester yesterday with my daughter to try out a couple of basses. A very nice daphne blue Vintera 60s jazz (which for some reason is now about £300 more expensive on the website than when we were there yesterday), and then we were going to try the seafoam green 50's Vintera P, but it didn't work! Really low output, duff pickup or something. Looked really lovely, though.
