Good luck Darryl. Great performance in that video, thanks for sharing .

I have basses and guitars to hand in the room where I'm working so pick on up 5 or 6 times a day for 5-10 minutes. So more than usual. I've put the ashtrays on one of my basses and have been completely adjusting my right hand style to suit. I used to anchor my thumb on the neck pickup, but now I'm resting my thumb across the strings, almost jamerson style, and resting fingers 3 and 4 on the astray. Seems to be working well, feels less tiring and a little faster.

Yeah,last time I asked the Zilla equivalent was around £185, and you can choose colours.

Big Radio 6 fan. Marc Riley and Cerys Matthews in particular, but no shows that I listen to are awful.

This thread has made me wonder if anyone has heard from @Bluewine in a while. Hope he's ok.

Swans, Dinosaur Jr, Fog (I think they were called - J Mascis again). Bob Mould at the Cockpit was pretty loud. A lot of gigs at the Cockpit were very poorly mixed

119.

I found it impossible to play whilst singing the backing vocals.

When I watched this I though EC was dreadful. Harrison and Edmunds in particular were very impessive

I 'bought' a bass from Matt (acting as a middle man for a mate buying the bass for his son). All very smooth, great comms, swift dispatch. Deal with confidence.

Counting the Beat (the Swingers) was a favourite of mine back in the day.

I saw him play at the Barbican not long before he died. He was so frail he had to be led onstage, but then he sat down and picked up his violin and was like an 18 year old again. It was amazing. One of the most natural musicians ever.

@sifi2112. With those rechargeable batteries do you have to unplug everything when not in use? I'm wondering what the advantages are with this over something like a Volto.

If you don't want a traditional flight case Zilla do some nice things, racks that look more like traditional head cabinets.

My GK Fusion 550 is perfect. Every now and then I get a tube amp itch but while selling the GK to fund is the only option, it will remain unscratched.

I bought a pedal from Julian @glassmoon. Excellent comms and very quick delivery and packaged as though it were a faberge egg! Thank you.

The Fall opened their set with Werewolves at Stylus in Leeds a few years ago. MES nailed the Ah-ooos. Only time they ever played it, I believe .

57 in a couple of weeks, and a keen listener to and searcher for new music. Radio 6 is an excellent source, as are my kids and other friends. In the last year I've discovered some of the best new (to me) music I've heard in a long time. Big Thief Phoebe Bridgers (esp collaborations) Feist Bilge Pump Parquet Courts Lucy Dacus Beige Palace Warmduscher And tons more

Just received a Mono Sleeve from them. £15 cheaper than anywhere else I could find and delivered free in just a few days. No complaints at all.

Ah Too Hip Gotta Go, one of my favourites to play.
