    Put on Elton last expecting his vocals to be a bit ropey after seeing him singing live a while back on a TV show but he was terrific, what a showman and what an amazing set of songs, his band was fantastic and EJ was incredible on the piano, he's a bit dodgy on his pins nowadays but as long as his fingers and voice are working who cares, his band and him killed it performance wise, what a great way to spend a Sunday night !! 😎

    Harley Benton JB75MN

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    After not playing by Harley Benton JB75MN for ages since in buying my Sire M2 bass I had a noodle on it through my Fender Rumble LT25 practice bass combo and I'd forgotten what a fantastic bass it was, great sounds from the pickup's and the maple neck and fret board are an absolute joy to play. I don't know how Thomann can do such a great bass for so little money, they are currently £149, I paid £132 for it in 2014 !! 😝

     

    I'll be playing it a lot more as it's sounds terrific through the Fender combo 🙂

    while you sentiments are to be applauded, the artists gets nothing if you buy second hand

     

    Well as most of the time I'm buying a CD to replace old vinyl 😛 , with the Clash album, I'd bought the original vinyl, a single new CD of it to replace the vinyl and the special edition for the extra's which of course had been bought by the original owner, I think the Clash have done alright from me from that one album !!. Any albums being released by artists I like I buy the CD new of course to support them :)

    I still buy CD's and then via iTunes rip then to MP3 and they then go on a memory card on an old mobile phone that I use for playing music via earbuds or speake. I buy CD's new and sometimes second hand, Music Magpie is fantastic for secondhand CD's, I recently bought a special edition of The Clash's "London Calling" (2CD/1DVD) for under a fiver and it was in perfect as new condition, most of their second hand stuff is in good condition. I'd never subscribe to streaming sites like Spotify as I think they rip off artists !! :P

    Reminds me of the time I played with the KISS tribute at a biker rally the day after Dumpy's Rusty Nuts had played (& stayed over). Our dressing room was the old caravan that Dumpy had stayed in overnight.... man that thing STUNK.... sweat, leather, alcohol and the WORST tramp smell you've ever encountered....

     

    How we didn't catch anything is beyond me! 🤣 

     

    Sounds more like Dumpy's Musty Nuts !! ;) 😛
