    I've been watching that, because I really like that paintjob. But I don't think I need it

    Well that does get some of the neck sheen, so I wouldn't worry too much

    Great colour

    Is it electric at all? Doesn't look it.

    Depends if you've got matching feet or not. Not everyone has.

    Monster! Thank heavens it's a four-string!

    Their mistake, by the looks of it.

    One of the gigs which Talking Heads turned into Stop Making Sense. The movie is staggering. What it must have been like live... !!

    Winchester, according to his sig.

    No, that's 13 minutes IIRC... you'd have to get a mod to check though.

    Westone Thunder 1. This is an old passive four-string bass, with a single P-style pickup. I bought it from FinnDave three years ago (?), but it's not being played - which is a shame. I was surprised by how comfortable the neck was - I'd expected a treetrunk. The neck is 41mm wide at the nut. The nut is brass. It's quite heavy for a four-string at 4.5kg (10lb). The truss rod turns smoothly but stiffly both ways. One of the three trussrod cover screws is missing. It sounds nice, at least to my ear. It would be a good bass for festivals and gigs where you didn't want to risk something more expensive. It's not exactly mint - plenty of scratches and dings, though quite hard to take pics of. The worst, IMO, is the thumb-mark above the pickup. It comes with a heavy, functional but not very tidy hard case - evidently with some history to it (does anyone know who Earthworks might have been?). The two halves of the case are quite dissimilar and it may be a bitsa. £100 plus carriage; I'd rather travel than post it (I live in Dorset, I'll be in Bristol at some point in February).

    I went to see him a couple of years ago. His drummer was awesome, absolutely superb. The gig was very odd; I don't know that I liked the music all that much but I came out with a huge grin on my face, and I can't remember the last time that happened. So maybe it is Wobble who confuses us?

    Poor. Small audience, gear trouble (not mine), but so offputting I got lost. Guitarist (with the gear problem) didn't seem to notice.

    I want a fretless fiver
  20. alyctes
    I'd never dare gig it

    Under £200 would be a good buy if it's as tidy as it looks. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ibanez-Bass-Guitar/273039920924?hash=item3f92728f1c:g:MJUAAOSw1GlaaQvF

    I'll be in Bristol some time in February. :whistles nonchalantly:

    It does dive a little, but nothing dramatic and nothing my right hand doesn't deal with just from being in playing position. I don't have any trouble with it. I was pleased when I came up with the name

    I never liked the Fall much, exactly, but I was always glad they were around. It's not been a good week, has it?
  25. alyctes
    Hm... Octave pedal?
