My son named my Yammy BB Tony, because he's the same colours as Iron Man.

White. My own fave to go with CAR is mint though. Nice bass!

This hit me so hard. My post from Instagram yesterday...

I blame big losses on the Torys

I'm 51, been playing since I was 19. Although I haven't played in a gigging band since 2011 (dad duties) I'm definitely the best I've ever been right now. Sometimes I go weeks without playing, but I never stop thinking about it, listening and learning and my touch has lightened so I don't feel that rusty when I do get stuck in again. I really should start doing yoga again though to get the rust of the rest of me 😄

Fixed. (Speaking for myself there btw)

All of the above 👊👊👊

I thought he was the one they tried to cancel. Kind of backfired on them though if I recall 😄

Yeah very sad news. I saw this on Bob Golihur's site last night. Family aside and thoughts with them of course, this is a real loss to the community...

Hello! You just need to turn the trussrod nut a quarter turn anti clockwise with an Allen key. Make sure you de-tune your strings until they're quite slack first though, to take the tension off the neck (not so slack that they are completely undone though). Once you've loosened the trussrod by that quarter turn, tune your bass back up to pitch. You will now have a little relief in your neck and the buzzing will hopefully be taken care of. Leave it for a day or so before you're tempted to do anymore adjusting as it may take that long to settle in fully. Hopefully you'll be good to go just by following the above. Take it one day at a time, don't beat yourself up and enjoy the ride. It's a bloody fun one! 👊

Light gauge Dunlop Super Bright steels would work for you I reckon. Excellent strings and cheaper to buy than Hi-Beams, which I also used to use.

Off the top of my head, any Family Man bassline and the entire Stone Roses debut album.

True, but if they don't my brain doesn't work properly 😂

This exactly the bass that came to mind! I played one in a shop and it was a good bass. The mango wood looks nicer again in real life.

It HAS to be fun. Find some new people to play with.

I still haven't got past wanting to play a Wal just to see... (MkII because of Blood Sugar Sex Majik)

Me too. Unfortunately it was 1993 so no smart phones and everyone was too poor to own a camera. Also it was in the roughest pub in Rhyl that was full of all the types that were barred from everywhere else. I remember thinking at the time that we could actually die tonight! We opened with a fast cocktail jazz rendition of the Star Wars theme and everyone rushed towards the stage. I was actually shocked that they didn't attack us but instead, everyone stated cheering and freaky dancing with huge grins and laughter. They got it. It was right there that the power of music and spectacle was revealed to me. We quickly followed with our turbo flamenco number, El Gringo - Master Of The Bingo. I also realise that some things are best remembered simply in our memories! 😂
