  1. If you interpret 'whacky' as a euphemism for 'cheesy crap', I can play. In one one band, when we ended with our cheesy Johnny B. Goode (yes, really. Sorry...) we'd slide it into the Batman TV theme, usually to the delight of drunken pub-goers. Seemed like a good idea at the time...
  2. Wait till you see my mate with his 8 x driver cab...
  3. Sounds like spot-on classic bass playing to me!
  4. Another argument for the short-scale fans...
  5. But then you'd pop in to the pub on the way and spend lots more than any saving... 😁
  6. Mott the Hoople's 70's song "One of the Boys": "I broke my head just to scare the teacher" Turns out it's actually "I grew my hair just to scare the teacher". Which is actually pretty pathetic.
  7. Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuce! at Hyde Park. By 'eck, the energy and commitment he puts in, for a full three hours, is quite something. Almost no gaps between songs, very little chat, just finish one song, then "One, two, three, four!" and on to the next one. Some superb bass and switching between fretted and fretless. The E-Street "wall of sound" did mean that it sometimes wasn't as clear as I like, but they are a superb band.
  8. Choose now (doesn't matter which). Then practice solidly on that one so you are completely comfortable with it on the day.
  9. Ummm... that's really not likely for me... 😁 Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
  10. I recently looked at my bass – I mean really looked. And it’s in a filthy state... So how do I get rid of serious accumulations of fretboard gunk? It’s an old P-Bass with flats and a rosewood board. And finger gunk has really built up on the frets and the board. What’s the best way of getting rid? Just a damp rag? A little water and a soft toothbrush? When I change strings I usually apply some linseed oil, but while this preserves the wood, it doesn’t really clean it. Any thoughts? Cheers, Graham
  11. When you are my shape the top of the bass always hangs away from you... 😃
  12. ...and the Digeridoo is handy should fisticuffs break out between you and the singer. 😃
  13. I though a double neck was what happens when we get old and fat?!
  14. Was it near the end of the set and you were needing the loo? 😁
  15. Non-stop "Hi-ho sodding Silver Lining" for days to come... 🤮
  16. Sad, but he made the most of what time he had. The Southend live clip is one of my favourite YT clips... Southend live
  17. Are you doing this for fun or for money? And if it's for fun, is the singer's behaviour taking the fun out of it?
