  1. An absolute gentleman who made the complicated transaction I brokered very simple and straightforward. A recommended Basschatter without a doubt.
  2. Derrick bought one of @yorks5stringer’s amps. Made the transaction so easy. Nothing but praise for this fella!
  3. With respect, John, I couldn’t agree with you less. Though logic is on your side it is, for me, one of those songs that sends chills. Maybe if i had heard the original first I wouldn’t think that way. Awaiting the Poole Town choir’s version of ‘Tubthumper’😁
  4. Our second gig at an amazing venue, a former Methodist meeting house sitting pretty in the midst of a shopping centre that grew up around it! It’s difficult, as we usually play free admission venues. But the £8 is split between us and the venue. Beer is club prices and is delivered direct to the pew. Starts 7.30 and all over by 9.30 so not a late Friday night at all. We - Otis Jay Blues Band - got 49 paying customers last time. You could be the difference🙏
  5. Selling on behalf the late @yorks5stringer’s family. Has a cover. Can send at cost. Pics have been added. Keith always looked after his gear, so be assured this is in excellent condition. Thanks for looking!
  6. Have to have a combo picked up from somewhere I’n not and delivered to the other end of the country. Height: 62.5 cm Width: 52 cm Depth: 40 cm Weight 17.4kg What is my best option? Thanks for all advice, chaps! Mick
  7. I had the Ibanez version of this. The case wouldn’t fit in my car!!
  8. Selling on behalf of the late @yorks5stringer’s family. Could be picked up from SW Bass Bash, alternatively, or could be sent. Pics added. ONE AND ONLY PRICEDROP TO £295. Keith kept his gear in great nick. Combo has a cover as pictured. Thanks for looking!
  9. Selling on behalf the late @yorks5stringer’s family. Price is for the two together, but would consider splitting. Both have covers. Priority to those who can collect. Keith always looked after his gear, so be assured they are in excellent condition. Thanks for looking!
  10. Postscript to above post-but-one: Robert and Keith, our singer, we’re on a college course with a certain John Deacon - two of the three feature in this…
  11. Benefit for Amnesty international in Bournemouth with the Otis Jay Blues Band. Flea through Barefaced One10 and Elf. We had a dep drummer and guitarist - the mighty Robert Ahwai, who played for 30 years with Chris Rea and replaced Jeff Beck in the Jeff Beck Group (Hummingbird). He had been at college with our singer 50 years ago and, though they’d lost contact since, came down to do the gig gratis - good bloke and a fine player. Turned out our drummer had seen Rob playing at Ronnie Scott’s in the 70s with Gonzales … small world!
  12. 'A supremely readable biography.... the Staffords tell their story with accuracy and significant wit and it's shot through with larger-than-life characters' Classic Rock, 8/10 New condition hardback with dustcover. RRP £20. Yours for £8 plus postage at cost.
  13. I believed that until I heard the recordings on the box set. I have revised my opinion…
  14. Man: Back Into the Future, Live at the Paget Rooms Penarth, Maximum Darkness, 1999 Party Tour, Star Club, Live Glastonbury 1994. I could go on😂
  15. This belonged to the late @yorks5stringer and is being sold on behalf of his family. I will add details as I find them. It includes the case pictured, as well as the newer gig bag. Keith: There's a bit of a story to that. I bought it with 2 humbuckers installed (and a load of other player mods that were non- standard) as you can see below. I returned it to stock but as it had had a big hole routed out in front of the bridge for the pickup, it was filled with wood, and primed. I then did a light couple of coats of aged vintage white nitro which was a bit more yellow than the original white ( which was also nitro so must have been a respray too.) Found this which shows the original condition.
  16. Like Morecambe and Wise… I knew all the jokes but not necessarily in the right order! 😂
  17. New hardback biography of the late great Gary Moore. With 464 pages and illustrated, this is the last word on the legend. Author Power has written about Beck and Page, among others, and has not only researched well but keeps the story bubbling - White Knuckles pulls no punches! Not in bookshops till next week. Retails at £25, yours for only £12 plus postage. Be quick!
  18. Selling this on behalf of @yorks5stringer’s family. If you are reading, you’ll know what this is. Priced to sell, no offers or trades please. Willing to consider sending. Extras inc gigbag, strap, spare strings, lead etc included. ONE AND ONLY PRICEDROP TO £695. Needless to say, in excellent condition. More pics have been added.
  19. I shall be watching… unbelievably for the first time! Anyone else a Tap ‘virgin’?!😁
  20. Who are you calling elephant ears!?😁
  21. Played a mini pub festival in Barton on Sea, Hampshire. Country-themed, hence the hay bales, but we blagged ourselves in as blues/Americana. Forgot my Stetson but went walkabout with my wireless so it would probably have blown/fallen off! Elf and two Barefaced One10s more than adequate… I bring the second out once a year! It’s possibly the only time I have ever had a view of the Isle of Wight from the stage. (Pic taken while setting up). What could be better? Oh, and our dep drummer breezed it. Happy days!
