Could have been worse. Tiny stage. My playing was rubbish throughout; couldn't hear the guitars, which really doesn't help. I suspect they couldn't hear each other, either. Pretty much total absence of audience (weather-related, venue is a caravan park), so it was more of a rehearsal, and not a great one. But we did get paid Trick now is convincing them they should pay us again next month. Hmm.

I think ThomBassmonkey is right. The name "Palmer" was not mentioned then, but I remember thinking "oh I've got a Palmer with a headstock like that". Two other names were mentioned, but I can't remember what they were. [quote name='ThomBassmonkey' timestamp='1334791079' post='1621512'] iirc recently there was a thread by a guy asking the same question and his bass had the same headstock shape. I can't remember what the results were, maybe if you search you can find it [/quote]

Okay, I have no way of knowing if this is accurate. Cory Doctorow is an honest man, AFAICT. So, if it's true, this is quite awful: http://boingboing.net/2012/01/04/paypal-if-you-dont-like-the.html

So who's now on the list? I was glad to read it but now it needs to go...

Bump. Currently in need of an E string. I'm considering Sandmanning it (two strings tuned a fifth apart and played with a slide and pick). Its tone would suit that.

[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1334289330' post='1613869'] My daughter has a sixty quid Westfield P bass. Its a brilliant piece of kit and I'd be happy to gig it anytime if it wasn't [i]PINK![/i] [/quote] I want one

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1334172751' post='1612114'] Maybe we should add 'Rickenbacker' to the swear filter [/quote] That's really elegant

The first bid was mine. Whatever, I'm not going up against people here for it. WPD can have it. -
