This is as close as I get

Kaya came in at #2 actually Tony. I've only just bought the cd which is always on in the car, but it's next in the vinyl queue. It's not just good, it's had a real affect on me. Right album, right time...

I've been thinking a lot about this very thing today actually. I want to buy a new record so I have to choose wisely given the expense, so a vinyl version of an old fave is what will get me to put my hand in my pocket. After much deliberation ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together for our winner... RUSH - Exit Stage Left (The crowd goes wild, ripping out all the seats. Everyone goes home naked.)

😗👌

I came back to correct myself... Thinking about it now, it was probably Legend that I was trying to first learn from. The gateway album. Also, saying instead, "The Barrett brothers are killing it on Kaya. A rhythmic masterclass" tells the truth better. Can't not give Carlton his due ⭐️

😄).

Yes I had it way back Tony, in fact I learnt the track Exodus the day I bought my first bass back in 1991! (At least I believed I'd learnt it properly at the time 😄).

I picked up both on CD used off ebay recently. Uprising I knew but I've never heard the songs on Kaya as the full album before. Fams is killing it on there. A rhythm masterclass 😗👌

So good! Happy new bass day! I love a good MIJ...which is all of them really.

Your doctor will prescribe some cream for that.

I'm not in. I took out 2025 like Scarface by the end.

I was gifted a vinyl cleaning kit for my old records that haven't been used for 30 years. (We bought a record player in November) 👌

I'd be tempted to (as above) fill the chips with something clear, lightly key the current finish and spray with translucent black nitro. You'd still see the grain and save yourself a lot of time and swears. Easy to diy, just wait for the temperature outside to pick up again.

They don't. The second vol control is out of the circuit in series.

VVT with push/pull pot for parallel/series.

Bass slapper...literally 😂

Well that's a couple of bass problems I could live with! 😆 I'm raising my coffee to your dad, good man x

An expensive bass is one that is just that bit more than you can afford, whatever your circumstances.

Maybe the heavy bass response of a Stingray needs to travel out into the room to make sense?

Straight No Chaser - 12 days of Christmas. It's a cracker (sorry). Not unusual, but I'm loving the bass playing on The Waitresses crimbo number this year. I must learn it! If you like jazz, the Diana Krall Christmas album.

It's a journey for sure. Beauty at it's hardest 😉. I wouldn't change a thing though. No time for bands anymore but music is it's own reward at the end of the day. Bass playing finds a way! ✊️
