  1. Sad story, Pete. Got into BR in 1973 when Takin My Time was found in an LP bargain bin. Was equally taken by Freebo, who currently plays with Alice Howe and is a fretless player to note.
  2. I was lucky enough to attend that, at Stoke Newington Town Hall circa 2014. Wondered when they’d repeat. Great band, and Hutch the bass player is no slouch.
  3. I have played this, and can’t quite believe @knicknack is parting with it!!!

    We are on a roll now - perfect transaction number three! Wholeheartedly recommend this Basschatter. M
  5. I have a VM4 or I would be having this. Good luck with the sale!
  6. This is exactly my practice and, often, gig rig. Very handy indeed!
  7. Still enjoying my Flea bass as we (Otis Jay Blues Band) celebrated ten years of Southbourne Ales, the beer brewed at Poole Hill brewery in Bournemouth this Sunday afternoon. The Trace Elf/Barefaced One10 combination really seems to sing with this particular instrument - drummer and guitarist have expressed a preference over other passive Fenders and active Sandberg. So better keep them satisfied. 😀 The singer is in his own world…and as you can see from my expression I am not impressed by the music stand!
  8. Super smooth sale of CDs - recommended Basschatter! 👍
  9. Sold Ben a CD set. He is a gent and is totally recommended!
  10. Sold Graham a book. He was an absolute gent, and would happily deal with him again!
  11. I regularly use an Elf and One10. We play blues at average volume. I have a second identical cab if needed but it stays in my room for 19/20 gigs.
  12. New album by Americana’s first lady. £7 posted UK. Still shrinkwrapped. On Stories from a Rock N Roll Heart Williams teamed up with singer/songwriter and dear friend Jessie Malin, who co-wrote three tracks on the album and helped her flush out some of the melodies on guitar. Williams also looked to her longtime road manager, Travis Stephens, a veteran guitarist and songwriter, to bring her ideas to life as he co-wrote six songs on the album. The result is a melodic 10-song rock offering that is an inspiring testament to Williams’ fortitude and perseverance to continue to create under any circumstances. Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart kicks off with the gritty “Let’s Get The Band Back Together,” launching a musical journey that includes edgy rockers such as “Rock N Roll Heart” and “This Is Not My Town.” Williams pays tribute to rock legends Tom Petty (“Stolen Moments”) and Replacements’ co-founder Bob Stinson(“Hum’s Liquor”), to whom she dedicates the album. It would not be a Lucinda Williams album without pulling on the heartstrings. The moving “Last Call for the Truth,” the nostalgic and beautiful “Jukebox,” and the poignant album closer “Never GonnaFade Away” are Williams at her classic best. A true highlight of Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart is the epic “Where the Song Will Find Me,” a hauntingly beautiful piece, orchestrated and arranged by Lawrence Rothman. Throughout the song, Williams expresses that despite everything she has been through she will never stop seeking, and we are all the better for it.
  13. Whopping 350-page book on TYA’s late, great main man by his long-time partner. Entertainingly written and very much of the era, with tales of George Harrison etc. RRP £24.99, just published. Yours for £12 posted UK.
  14. Cheers - I am Bournemouth based so will try and catch ya!
  15. What’s your band called - I take it not Self Drive Dorset?!
