Sea Shanty - The Pogues

Most of these comments seem to be stuck in the 90s. I've got a lot of time for present day Liam. He's matured well, grown up even, is funny as hell and for a good few years now has been one of the hardest working men in show business. He's consistently put out good solo albums and is always either on the road or in the studio. He takes care of both himself and his voice these days. I'm a bit disappointed that the reunion is happening now as I was hoping that, after his current Definitely Maybe anniversary tour, he'd get to work on a second album with John Squire and keep moving forwards. Noel's solo output has never grabbed me in comparison. To me, an Oasis reunion seems like a step backwards for Liam.

I meant that a genuine smile is from the eyes and face. Teeth? I could definitely pass the audition for a Pogues tribute band. Still got my fronties though thankfully 🤓

Nah, I prefer to age naturally with my million dollar smile intact.

Nice! A very useful looking machine.

Congratulations. It's a beaut.

1962 P Bass for sale. All original except for the word "FUNK" written on the heel. Pricedrop - £30,000 this weekend only. Swiss Bank transfer preferred. Look, it's me. Honest. No time wasters or fuzz. Cheers.

The main two I'm interested in trying but have never crossed paths with are a Rickenbacker 4005 because Mani/Stone Roses, and a Warwick Streamer Stage 1 because Stu Zender/Jamiroquai. I think I've probably owned or played everything else that I'm interested in.

At a gig once, I took off a sock and rolled it up tight to use as a bridge mute as I'd lost my foam. Worked a treat.

Massive Chew Sets - Kenny Everett

I guess that YT is the new way to get known, have fun and pay the bills. The hours are good and no travelling so you can still have a life. It's not like there's an abundance of sessions like the old days anymore. There's an abundance of musicians instead. Any musician who can do their thing, enjoy themselves and give up the day job has my respect.

Yep, love them too. Been a fan since Mother's Milk. Love the Hillel years and most of every album since. Josh's two albums were pretty good but John is a shaman. Yes they cop a lot of flak but I care not a jot. My relationship to their music is between only me and the band and we're all good 😄

I thought the video he made using shoelaces for strings was amazing.

Plus Hofners sound great for Ska 👌

Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim

Know Your Rights - Primal Scream/The Clash

Write it off as a lesson learned. Move on.

Just sold a Guild to Kris. Easy deal, good chat, top man. Cheers Kris!

Missed you saying this mate. Yes! Wish I'd understood how to dial in a Jazz bass effectively when I owned one. It was a long long time ago ☺️

Go to 14.50 for "the reggae trick" for getting that deep dark tone on a Jazz bass. Brill!

Great reply! Thanks. I know what you mean about Stingrays. I've had 3 at different times but I've always ended up letting them go. But I still wouldn't mind another. It's complicated! You're right, different basses do make you play differently. I really meant that hearing or seeing someone else playing a particular bass can inspire us to dream of owning one to get that sound, but inevitably we will usually only sound like us playing that bass. I with you though, it's a darn fun journey! Some you win, some you lose but it's always an education. It's an interesting ride for sure!

I'll give it a go: No matter what bass you get, you're gonna sound like you. Out of interest @ped, out of your dream basses acquired, which one was your favourite?
