A favourite of mine. Great song from a fun film.

I spent most of my working life in the broadcast industry, firstly in operations with the BBC and Thames Television, then in the administration of ITV before moving into the manufacturing industry where I was involved with system design, selling, project management, construction and testing of broadcast AV systems. These included outside broadcast units, studios and multi-VTR video editing systems. Our market area was Europe, Africa and the Middle East so I got to travel to a lot many interesting places as well as the USA and the factory in Japan. During the latter years I was Technical Manager for Exhibitions responsible for the technical design and installation of exhibition stands especially some huge ones at the annual broadcast show in Amsterdam. The largest of which was 1800 sq.metres on 3 levels, built in 11 days and taken apart in 2 days. Due to downsizing I was made redundant in 2003, just 3 years off my pension, and I vowed never to be employed by anyone else again so I did a bit of contract project management for a few years until a health issue forced me to cease. In 2001 I discovered Bassworld and one day in 2004 a member asked how to connect two pieces of kit together so I suggested he needed a particular cable. Where can I get one of those he asked so I said I'd make him one. A week later another member asked if he could have a similar cable but with the opposite sex of connector. It was at that moment that the penny dropped and the cable business was born. I never intended it to be more than a hobby in retirement and I have seen others come along and, with the help of the Internet, build up some very successful businesses. As of the end of this month I shall finally be fully retired although always happy to help another BC member.

Sorry but I'm not seeing anything, just this text. What's wrong? "Bass moment at the end of “Black Coffee in Bed”. What’s better than hearing your name announced by @glenntilbrook ? 🇬🇧 Thanks to everyone in @squeezeogram who made me feel (and play) like a member of the family.

Actually what really changed the world for me was seeing Little Richard backed by Sounds Incorporated live in 1962. A life changing experience.

Move It - Cliff Richard C'mon Everybody - Eddie Cochran Shakin' All Over - Johnny Kidd & The Pirates

Could I humbly suggest the Spector CTB Fretless. Being 85% chambered I guess it would count as semi-accoustic.

I've been waiting for this. I wonder what the differences are between this and the USA version apart from the price.

I've not stopped yet. End of March.

You need a Y-lead comprising a jack socket (preferably locking) going to 2 x jack plugs. The legs of the Y need to be long enough to reach the input jacks on each amp. Use your existing lead between the bass and the Y-lead socket. No need to modify the bass

Good point. I've been wondering the same myself. I guess if you had a bass to part-exchange then going through a middle-man might be an option.

Not quite yet. What do you need? PM me.

Yes I'd go for short scale P body with PJ pick-ups.

Indeed you are. Give me a call tomorrow.

About 3 miles from you in Seale.

I have one and have gigged with it. Do you want to try it?
