I got my Mustang JMJ precidely for this reason - lugging bass and occasional other misc gear around London's various public transport options. Doing ok so far! Although to paraphrase Ian Faith, sometimes topsy-turvy world of public transport, having the good solid piece of a long-scale bass in your hand is often useful.

My JMJ as featured on Mustang gig bag thread (https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/329743-mustang-bass-dimensions-for-gig-bags/) )

He's had the Ibanez double a while - there are twitter posts from 2015 for example

I'm in for the Love Missile F1-11 cover

Bowie Box Set collectors and mortgage advisors everywhere will be thrilled to hear that Bowie Box 6 "I Can't Give Everything Away" has been announced. It's Heathen to Blackstar plus assorted bits and bobs, 13x CD or 18x vinyl (price tba). The bit you probably won't have is a full Live At Montreux 2002 which features the usual set from the time plus almost all of Low as an encore (Weeping Wall inexplicably skipped) https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2025/7/8/david-bowie-6-i-cant-give-everything-away-2002-2016-press-release

Love that white F Bass

I remember seeing them at the Garage in the mid 2000s. At one point I was surprised to see Jeff Beck squeeze past in the audience

Still on fire, and Doug Wimbish is a monster Setlist is Cult of Personality, Pride, Love Rears Its Ugly Head, Time's Up, Solace of You

Just had an announcement for this pop up via the usual channels: https://wegottickets.com/event/666789 Resolution 88 at the Courtyard Theatre and Studios on November 20th (probably a London Jazz Fest thing) - confirmed on their bandcamp https://resolution88.bandcamp.com/ Never heard of the Courtyard before, turns out it's about two minutes walk from my office!

Yeah, they're great aren't they. I've seen them once before and had a chat with the bassist, who I recall as a super nice chap. Turns out, having consulted the history books, that gig was a support slot for Medeski Martin & Wood at Under the Bridge in April 2014! Where does time go. Must check them out again.

Bit dusty in here all of a sudden.

I'm sure the BC massive can help fulfil this requirement I've just seen on the socials "FEMALE DOUBLE BASSISTS: looking for 7 female double Bassist. Paid gig. 7th August 2025 as part of London Open Call at Whitechapel Gallery. Rehearsal 5th Aug Performance 7th Aug This is a minimalist and durational performance art piece where the double Bassists are required to play 1 note continuously for 40/50min. Please get in touch xxx https://www.whitechapelgallery.org/exhibitions/london-open-live-mahsa-salali-the-call/" I'd 100% be up for that if I fit the spec better Also, not sure if it's pizz or arco (nb link contains slight nudity)

Yeah but only because Camel and Van der Graaf are there as well
