Thundercat last night at Koko, featuring indie bloke Damon Albarn for a few numbers at the end, including a smashing verion of Gorrilaz' Cracker Island

I once went for a curry with Kylie, she got upset when my rice turned up and it wasn't quite right there were Tears On My Pilau

Here's the downside though after conversion from USD: back to Basschat Marketplace then.

I've just managed to put together a nice $3.5k bass. I think I prefer the F Bass equivalent (of building a custom bass that is, and spending money I don't have) The colours look a bit off though. Had to google what the actual finish would look like, turns out Seafoam Sparkle is not quite what I had in mind for a gentleman of my vintage

New Moon here, very easy to deal with although I've never had to make a claim. What I like is that you can specify home/uk/worldwide etc cover per item. I use them for all big ticket items (basses, guitars, amps, synths) but other bits and bobs (eg pedals, other accessories) are on the household contents insurance.

I've bought Bill's Tech 21 MP40. Great pedal at a great price, and next day delivery included. Top notch. Thanks!

Meanwhile this appears to be mysteriously still available https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1441261553406098/

Lily Collins I think.

Modern Standards Supergroup last night at the Forge in Camden. First time at this venue for me, quite nice! As well as drummer Harvey Mason (an original Head Hunter, co-wrote Chameleon, which was in the setlist); sax Ernie Watts (played with just about everyone) and keys Neils Lan Doky (ditto), on bass was Felix Pastorius, who as we know is epic in his own right. And the encore was "a little song my father wrote about where he grew up", Teen Town 🤯

So there's this 747 on a treadmill

The 80s Show (or The 80s Tribute Show in their URL) has already been done - https://www.facebook.com/The80sTributeShow Best of your list though is Now That's What I Call '80s (sorry for implied apostrophe pedantry)

So far I've got away with it, I'll check back in 100 or so pages of posts though

Stu Hamm 1-0 Flea as far as I'm concerned

Boo, go listen to Joni Mitchell's Hejira

And joining us on bass tonight

Where are you shopping? I'm in Block A1 at around £100.

Assuming it's legit, first anounced gig is in San Diego in September: https://www.ticketmaster.com/beat-belew-vai-levin-carey-san-diego-california-09-17-2024/event/0A00605B216A46C9 Of the two newbies(! DC at 62, Vai is 63), Vai doesn't seem quite the right fit, but he's not new to guitaring and I'm sure if he practices hard between now and then he'll get the hang of the fiddly bits

Jazz Notes

Daphne Blue x3 (sorry for practice room tat)

And a 130 on a 4-string?

So many questions about the restringing.

I'll just leave this here for your consideration https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1441261553406098

This just floated past on the No Treble facebook feed. From last year, but it's Cory Wong and band, with Sonny T. and some bloke called Victor sits in as well.

As it should be - Lemmy's statue in his home town of Burslem, Stoke on Trent has been given the go-ahead - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjqj8l8qgwno Some have said it's Overkill, but this will be the Kiss Of Death to that kind of talk once the statue is Hammered into place.
