  1. I would be happy to pay for any patches that you could match to some of the songs in my 80's set. It's completely beyond me (as you know 😂) and there's no reason why you shouldn't earn out of your hard work.
  2. Thank you. Just had an offer through eBay for the other bass I have up for sale. Unfortunately it was an offer of a trade on a Yamaha BB P35. Had another non-bass related sale this afternoon. I think the people at home are getting bored. As long as the postal system/couriers keep going, this could be a good month 😀
  3. Sold a bass today, so I have a couple of thousand pounds burning a hole in my virtual PayPal virtual. Being in this challenge and with having all my gigs cancelled through to the end of April, I really shouldn’t be able to justify ordering a new bass. I really really shouldn’t.
  4. The date on the neck, the date on the body, the pot codes and most importantly, the bloke who is selling it. He is very well respected around these parts.
  5. Plus, in a live environment, I doubt you would be able to tell the difference anyway.
  6. Currently waiting for Tesco to open (as they’re no longer 24/7 🙄). Arrived early to avoid most of the mouth breathers. Let’s see how this goes. I just wanna do a normal shop FFS!

      We were going to have a Paella tonight, but no fish pie mix or prawns, so that was that (my wife doesn’t eat meat).

      Next door (who pay a monthly fee for home delivery) can’t even get a slot this month, so click and collect customers don’t have a chance. Your area may be different. I hope.

      We have a carer, a key worker, visiting every morning to wash and dress our Jack (73).  She's trying to keep it all together with an eleven y/o daughter who she is keeping home from school because she does not want to have to stop working if the young one brings Covid home one day.  She works 'till ten or eleven on some rotas and has to do home delivery.  She couldn't get a delivery slot for this week so she's booked two later ones to ensure she can get a delivery at all.

      “A VULNERABLE couple who are self-isolating to protect themselves from coronavirus ordered £50 worth of vital supplies for home delivery – but were shocked when just five items arrived.

      Finn, 70, and Tina Teigen, 66, from Lewisham in South London, have been following the government advice to stay at home because of the coronavirus outbreak that has left 72 Brits dead.

       

      The elderly couple, who have underlying health conditions, placed a home food order with Co-op to help them through the quarantine period but were left disappointed when only five items were delivered.

      The measly delivery contained carrots, gravy granules, squash, margarine and fish sticks – even though they had paid more than £50.

      Finn said: “We are old age pensioners. We were depending on the delivery. It’s going to be carrots and gravy for the next three days.

      “It’s going to be carrots and gravy for the next three days.

      “Our kids live about 50 miles away – hopefully one of them is going to come up. I’m one of those people who see the funny side of everything.

      “But, underlying it all, I do worry about our food. We haven’t been refunded yet. At least my pension went in today.”

      The total sum of the goods that actually arrived was around £7.

      Co-op has been contacted for comment.”

  7. Sounds pretty damned close to me. I could probably use that for I Wanna Dance With Somebody. ....if I can figure out how to get it to my pedal. There are couple of V3 patches I know I'm not going to need. Could do with replacing them with a few of yours.
  8. You buy expensive insurance and you still get stinky poo service as I’ve found out this week to our cost.
  9. Yes, he’s one of those people who can turn his hand to anything - guitar, bass, drums, sax, vocal. Not sure whether he plays keys, but it wouldn’t surprise me 🙄
  10. Why the freak has this not sold already? Have you all been spending you hard earned on hand sanitiser? 😂
  11. Little Wonder, Hallo Spaceboy & Station to Station all in the set for this year. Really looking forward to playing S2S again - such a great song. I think we did Little wonder a couple of times a few years ago, but Hallo Spaceboy is new. Gonna be fun.

      It's a png file, so you can right click, copy & paste :)

  12. ....and replied. Several times😀. Now sorted. Don’t know what on earth I was doing wrong, but now have an update successful notice 😀
  13. Trying to update the firmware on my FI and it’s driving me nuts. Followed the instructions to the letter (I think) and I keep getting and ‘Error - F1 not present or a communication error has occurred’. It may get chucked out of the window shortly 😡
  14. I would never do this of obviously....but add this person to your blocked buyers list, then find something relatively cheap that he is selling, buy it and find a reason to leave negative feedback for that transaction. Gotta be worth a couple of quid 😂
  15. I play in an 80’s tribute and mainly use a 5’er because the songs demand it, but every song that I can play on a 4, I change to my Flea because it’s just that good. I’m sure this bass will make it’s new owner very happy indeed.
  16. What is the story with the headstock? It appears to be blank.
  17. Great bass at a great price. If I didn’t already have one, I’d be on my way over - GAC2020 be damned 😂
  18. The Purple One is well and in good spirits @Chiliwailer. Hasn’t been gigged since Christmas, but now Jan/Feb are out of the way, it will be coming out of hibernation again very soon.
