I have an Ampero One and it's terrific and affordable John 😎

Great news, glad it went OK John 😎

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 🙂 John 😎

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 John 😎

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 !! John 😎

Ian Hunter's new album - Defiance Part 1 😎 Superb album full of excellent Hunter penned songs and terrific performances, a load of guest musicians including Billy Gibbons, Todd Rundgren, Jeff Back, Taylor Hawkins, Johnny Depp, three members of Stone Temple Pilot in Dean DeLeo, Rob DeLeo & Eric Kretz, Duff McKagan, Slash, Ringo Starr, Mike Campbell, Robert Trujillo, Jeff Tweedy, Waddy Wachtel and Brad Whitford plus members of Ian's band Well worth a listen John
