    Sorry to say getting to that time in life where my body keeps reminding me parts could do with a service or replacement. I’m getting real issues with poor hand circulation lately. My right hand especially gets cold which makes playing faster lines a bit more tricky. Please don’t slate this idea but do any of you play with fingerless gloves to help keep hands warm and if so do they help. Any other suggestions are welcome. I do massage my hands as got a bit of arthritis showing up along with those bumps on the inside of my hands which sit on the tendons .Although they don’t bother me much.Although a time machine would be a great all points of view are welcome along with what will be I’m sure the obligatory Micky taking about had numbness’s.

    I’ve found when it comes to tone regardless of the bass I am unique as I must be the only bloke who can make any fat wire machine sound bad. On the upside and after 40 odd yrs of playing I am consistent at doing this.

    Could be woodbine /no6 or if the previous owner was posh Senior Service. Personally I was of the Wills Whiffs brigade with occasional ParkDrive. Thankfully I gave up years ago and and now am trying to kick the Gas habit which is proving more difficult.

    Sometimes it’s like a comfort blanket syndrome. It’s like buying a new bass that is completely different from your usual choice and spending ages trying to make it sound like the one you just sold. Or as my musician friends tell me no matter what I buy I sound the same which probably means crap😂👀🤫

    You venture on the guitarists side of the stage? Wow I hope you don’t allow him any where near your space at the back behind the drummer in the cupboard .You are my hero to tread in the hallowed space meant only for those chosen few who own guitaaaars and possibly contaminate the heavenly light that shines down upon them from high. You are a legend mate

    A rug great Idea you could pickup the rug and take to the bedroom. That would be a duel use item and bridge the gap between both rooms .Be careful the wife doesn’t want tho buy something for her self though as she may want strings attached to her decision.

    I was sitting and thinking about my debut into the music scene all them years ago and what really got me started.Like most of us we watched the stars of the time on the TV and listened on the radio to the music desperately wanting to emulate our heroes whilst mostly just playing air bass or guitar.At some point it hits us maybe we could do that.Talking to a friend at school who could play some keyboards as I found out whilst sneaking in to the music room. He informed that he could play guitar too and was part of a trio playing at a local pub.Fortunately although under age I was tall and could carry an 18 yr old look off.That night changed my music life. I watched my friend and the 2 adults he was with one being his brother in law give a great performance. Yes I had seen pro bands and watched many week end warriors in the local working men’s club but this was different .Some how the guy on the bass played with an ease that looked like he was really enjoying it, the notes he played as well as sounding great just appeared to steer the music as if it was on rails.From that point on I wanted to be a bass player. It has to be said that it was an up hill battle but I received encouragement from my friend and when going to his gigs advice from the bass player in the band who later became a friend..All through my journey this guy always had time to talk and was always pleasant with no musical heirs and graces despite as I learned later had been a pro player in the 60,70s.I still see him today unfortunately to often at sad events ,I mentioned to him when I last saw him that he was really the main inspiration in me taking up the bass and I thanked him for it. He appeared taken aback as always he was very humble in hearing this but I never really thought to let him know before.He probably doesn’t realise how many local bass players looked up to him back in the day. Needless to say in our local are bass players referred to the John Askey sound when trying to describe the sound they were after. If he gets to see this post I’m sure he would be very embarrassed but as someone who has had many years of enjoyment and still do from playing bass because of his inspiration. Thanks John and I’m sure many of us have had similar experiences in the area’s we live in but it’s just nice when our inspiration is a little closer to hand than the tv ,radio,or these days social media.although of corse anything that keeps music live and evolving is good.

    Think he still does them sure I saw one of the body’s hanging up along with some necks in the workshop when I was in there today.I had one too think they had a Kent Armstrong pup in them. Mine was Ash and weighed a ton but a great even strong bass sound.

    Quick shout out to Doug ,just fixed me my Sire V7 bridge and saved me the expense of buying a new one despite being in the middle of doing jobs that would give him far more return financially than my little job.Just to mention saw a couple of beautiful tele’s ready for finishing coats which looked fabulous and a testament to Dougs excellent level of craftsmanship.Good to know money is not the driving force behind all businesses these days. Cheers Doug

    Cheers Chris yes wish this quality of bass had been around when I started playing bass all those years ago.One good thing about this day and age is value bass builds have got considerably better than they were when I started my musical journey.

Cassh on collection As always tea and biscuits if you want to call in and try Willing to post at buyers expense .

These are Chromatic, Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Baritone, Ukulele, Open A, Open D, Open E, Open G and DADGAD.

    Just received what will now be my 4th East preamp over the years. It’s a 5 knob uni pre for my Ibanez fanfret.This preamp has just released the bass that was trying to get out for the last 3 yrs. I upgraded the Bartolini’s to proper Bart Singularitys which were a vast improvement and always wanted to add the East but wondered if it would make much difference as the standard pre was a Bart copy not much different from the actual. Bart itself. Well as I should of realised of coarse it would. Installed the East this afternoon plugged her in and wow absolutely knocked out with the options available. Just phenomenal.I am convinced these are the best pre amps on the market today. If John East made larger it would probably be the best larger in the world
