  1. Received positive feedback on eBay with 'Yeah, that's sick' as the comment. Does that mean he wants to return it? 🤷‍♂️

  2. I'm not sure what's worse, trying to remember a song that you haven't played for over a year, or trying to work out a new song that you've never played.

  3. “I like pink bass! I want you get pink bass”- my 3yr old daughter seeing guy Pratt play his burgundy mist jazz on YouTube And actually wanting to watch!

      Do as your daughter tells you and buy pink bass....

      At least you have a valid excuse 🤷‍♂️

  5. Parcelled up bass to send to Belgium via DPD, attached customs documents in clear plastic sleeve. Bass rejected and returned to me a few days later, no explanation and no indication the >£100 paid (fully insured for a £2k bass) will even be partially refunded. Brexit, yay

  6. Lasted 25 minutes - is that a record?

  7. Continuity announcer on C5 has just described Home Alone as "the greatest Xmas movie ever made". I can't decide if that's complete boIIocks or complete and utter boIIocks.

  8. Seriously people, stop selling such nice instruments at a time when I can't get an appointment to sell a kidney!!!

  9. Hi agedhorse

    Hoping for some advice. I've a Genz-benz Shuttle Max 9.2 that I've gigged about 4 times a week for the last 8yrs.

    Recently when turning it on its silent for about 10 (heart stopping) seconds then it quickly ramps up to normal operation. 

    I'm thinking worn out capacitors? Whatcha think? 

    If I keep using it like this will it damage it or simply just get worse? 

    (Its my favourite ever amp that has unbelievable headroom, it does super clean for double bass, warm full and wet for my '70's P bass with flats, mega punchy for my 5st jazz and makes my EUB growl for ever! - I've played lots of other amps and for me it's just superb). 

    Hoping for advice. 

  10. Struggling to think of a way that New Order’s new single could be any more crap. Truly dreadful.

  14. Note to self...read the bloody advert properly...you are in Nolfolk !

  15. About to head off for IKEA. I am anticipating Xmas music. Wish me luck.

  16. Public servic announcement: 

    If you put flash icons on your sales thread title, I'm not even going to look at it.

    Edit 9am 04oct20:  I include anything other than alphanumerics here.

      I disagree. The reason they are there is to make sure the listings are seen AND as a result of that, get you to look at the detail within. The flash icons succeed in the first but are an epic fail for me in respect of the latter. If I don’t look at the thread there isn’t much hope of a sale is there?

      I’ve noticed one of the sellers has removed them from his ad’s.

      Yes, absolutely. Well said. Look at me, look at me. Well, actually, no I won’t.
