  2. Oldman UPDATE - One of our own is in ICU. For those that have been following Brian's thread (and for those that haven't) spare a moment to drop in on his thread and send him best wishes.

      Brian’s thread has been a bit of an inspirational read some days... the humour never stops despite the gravity of the situation. I really do hope he’s out soon

I hadn’t picked a bass up since I was 19 and I’m 56 now but due to being furloughed I decided to record some songs that I’d written . I need a bass and found this on Facebook market place for an absolute snip at £25 reduced from £100. It’s got some scars and the neck was all over the place  but after a total strip download clean and professional set up I must says that it now plays like a dream and sounds great . The guy who was selling it was moving house and didn’t play and just wanted rid of it . It had brand new strings on it which he put on to help sell and a very newish Fender strap. There is C278E457-E346-44AD-9948-8B38AEE75259.thumb.jpeg.3ed45724a348c94bfce2c9f9f124745c.jpegno identification on it apart from Tanglewood and as I wanted to find out something about this range of basses I contacted them and they sent me pictures from their 1997 brochure with my bass type in it . They told me that it was probably made between 96 and 99. Now I can’t put it down and I’m enjoying bass playing again . Has anyone else got one and what’s your views . By the way we spent more than £25 the night before when recording on pizzas and beer .

      Looks like a bargain...👍🏻 you may want to put this thread in one of the forums,  rather than in your status.  I’m sure there will be someone knows all about this and will provide you with loads of info 😃

  8. Recording over lockdown. Like everyone else, I found myself without a band and so recorded some stuff on my own. Stuck it on Soundclod and here it is. Under the name of 154.

    Hope the link is working!

  10. Please may I have seven more follows on my (new) YouTube page so I can finally get past 100 subscribers?

    @DanVeallBassist

    This is my own page, which is rather empty as all of my gear reviews are hosted on the Guitar Interactive Magazine website and YouTube channel @GuitarInteractiveMag

    So, mine is a bit empty. I'm starting from the ground up and need your help :)❤️ 

  11. Just found out my aunt has died from the Corona virus...

  12. Just snagged some awesome cancelation tickets for snarky puppy at Royal Albert Hall

  13. Work and redundancy threats and woes continue. The latest "up to date" meeting is / was supposed to have taken place this month. But that's not going to happen now.
    Continuing to dangle me on a piece of string...... for over 4 and a half years, and counting :(

  15. Watch the Chernobyl TV mini-series. If you are 40 or over, you will probably recall seeing the news when you were young. You will want to see this series. It is very, very good. Moving and true to the events that shook the day and following years.

      I agree. It’s been great. Watching the last one tonight. No spoilers please don’t tell me what happened. 😂😂

  22. I've been out of work with stress for a couple of years.

    Had a job interview earlier today - just had a message to say they were very impressed and asked if I can start next Monday.

    Now what can I spend that money on???

  23. Spoke to FedEx on the phone. They asked me if it would be a possibility that Dingwall sends me a replacement body. They actually asked it.
