I got stopped back in say 2012, got the usual where have you been, have you been drinking, when did you last have an alcoholic drink etc,
I replied “not being a smartass, Sep 14 2007”.
Thank you sir, on your way, have a pleasant evening.
When we used to go on tour I was amazed that the guy who did the driving was as much use as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking competition when it came to packing the van. I suppose it`s like anything, some have skill-sets in certain areas and some don`t, but you`d think that when it`s your day job even if at the start you struggled you`d learn a bit along the way.
Sadly some pubs don`t do their research, in my old punk band we played in Gateshead on the same night that Stiff Little Fingers were playing in Newcastle, as such barely anyone there. The landlord was moaning about "once-a-year-punks" going to see the big bands but there were plenty of other dates we could have played there and probably drawn a decent crowd.
I’d love to try IEMs out. Whilst I love the old school feel of big cabs etc I can’t say it’s my preference when in comparison to something I’ve never tried.
Agree Chris, I`ve got a couple of cheaper Mustang basses and up against my JMJs there is a difference in sound, the JMJs being fuller sounding. I`ve noticed this on the Andertons "Sound Like" series - the difference when they do the same bands on the By Busting The Bank compared to the Without Busting The Bank is usually quite apparent, with the By episodes being fuller sounding with usually a much smoother top end.
Shameless plug here but I`m selling three black JMJs at the moment (£1000 each), all have been shielded. Great basses, they really are as good as they say (imo better), sadly arthritis in left thumb forcing the sale.
Yep, today I’ve bought a 2nd hand 2008 Mex Strat for more than I paid for the exact same model new in 2008. Only a few quid more mind, but there is one on the bay at double what I paid today.

Three Fender JMJ Mustang basses, £950 each.
2020 (blue silks) at 3.9kg
2021 (green silks) at 3.7kg
2021 (red silks) at 3.6kg
Only mods are on each I put a triple string retainer - I’ve returned them all back to stock but happy to put the triple back on. See last two pics for holes/triples.
All come with a spare black scratchplate.
Update - I have a Fender Mustang hard case, a Tourtech guitar gig-bag and a Thomann guitar gig-bag. First buyer gets option in which to take.
No packaging materials so collection/meet up only.
If I were the UK act I would have a tee shirt printed with EXPECTED written on it, then when the famous nil points were announced I would reveal said tee.
