You conjured up your inner Kelly Groucutt👏

Tony is kindly helping me out with a spare part for my Jazz Bass bridge. Very grateful!

No-one got one of these in their spare parts box then?🤔 Happy to pay a charitable donation/postage!

I think there’s room for us all in this big ol’ Basschat world! From what I have read I admire you both. My major motivation is the need to play for as long as I am physically able: too many of my musical inspirers are checking out, and the recent loss of @bumnote and @yorks5stringer has brought home how you never know how long you have got… PS I know what you mean about football, @Clarky … I am a Fulham s/t holder x2. Wish us luck tomorrow night!

One of several people I never met but feel I know. Sincere condolences to family and friends.

A perfect transaction in every respect. Prompt payment, good comms… recommended!

Intrigued as to how it works financially (not trying to be rude) to travel to Brighton for a support gig. Is it for exposure or do they actually pay?

Or a beetles fan?

I put a plea in items wanted to no avail. So please guide me. Maybe a pic would help… I have lost one of the long screws and associated spring from my Jazz Bass bridge . You can only buy in packets but I would prefer one that isnt going to stand out by being shiny and new. Can anyone help me please? 🙏 Here is the bridge missing a screw.

Much better!

Great communication on our recent deal - a trustworthy Basschatter!

His son Adam played for them live for some years (visible or not, I don’t know)… I wouldve thought any decent keyboard player would have wanted to remain anonymous 😂

Triple post. Cerys clearly overdubbed😂

Why I own a Uke bass….😈

Is it open seven days? 😂

Mick was a really good bass player who certainly impressed me. Fly Guitars - an excellent resource - did an interview with him which explains the genesis of this instrument. https://www.flyguitars.com/interviews/mickhawksworth3.php

Pretty sure Rick only played with them on one studio track and was paid in beer! Can you really see the man who ate a curry in stage with Yes staying behind a curtain? I can’t!

Effortless transaction… again! Deal with confidence.👏

This is truly a classic thread… Stop me if I have told this one before… In 1980 I had a band modelled on the Pretenders, whom I had seen and fallen in love with. Our Chrissie was an Australian girl who ended up being deported I believe - anyway she left us looking for a replacement. We auditioned four girls at Alaska Studios in Waterloo, London. Among them was a lass fresh down from Scotland who was so shy she wouldn’t emerge from the corner of the room at first. Also she had a rather obnoxious boyfriend, as I recall. So we passed. Months later I saw Eddi Reader on TV backing the Gang of Four, and later still duetting with Annie Lennox in Eurythmics. Bloomin ‘eck! Bet she has had many a sleepless night regretting my decision😂

I don’t remember lending you my Fender, Paddy😂

Google Mick Hawksworth and you will find it to your advantage.

I’d much rather be Rich than famous…💰

A great idea for a thread, but please identify the basses in the picture (s) for the benefit of us ignoramuses! 🙏
